Chapter 64 The Jiang Family is Rich
"Uncle, even though Xinghua Village is far away, we can always find it by asking around." Ye Mingzhu's mind raced. "Jiang Hongyu has been away for two days. If you leave now, you may not be able to meet him. Besides, you haven't seen him before, so you wouldn't recognize him if you did."
"Just rest at home for the next few days and talk to Yun An. We don't know when we'll meet again."
Uncle Ye also advised: "Da Hu, you stay here for a few more days, the children will feel at ease."
Ye Yun'an didn't say anything, but stared at Wang Dahu with his bright eyes.
Wang Dahu sighed, "Okay, then I'll stay in Yun'an for the next few days. I'll seal the door between the two houses and open it after I leave."
Ye Mingzhu understood what Wang Dahu meant after a quick thought.
Jiang Hongyu is not at home. Only Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are at home. It would be fine if Ye Yunan was the only one at home normally, but now with Wang Dahu, an adult man, the door should be sealed.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll bring the food to you right away after it's cooked." Ye Yun'an said cleverly.
Ye Mingzhu patted Ye Yun'an's little head. Seeing that nothing was wrong, Uncle Ye prepared to go home. Ye Yun'an went to see Uncle Ye off.
"Mingzhu, how does your uncle treat you?" Wang Dahu turned his head and asked as he watched Uncle Ye disappear outside the door.
"Third uncle treats us very well now. Third aunt would bring some of the delicious food she made. She also helped me with the chores for my wedding." Ye Mingzhu told the truth.
Since she came, Uncle Ye and his wife have been quite nice to them, and it has been even better since Uncle Ye sold the coral.
"I can't live here for a long time. You should be on good terms with your third uncle's family. If anything happens, they can speak for you." Wang Dahu understood what Ye Mingzhu meant.
"You're right to think of helping the villagers sell salted fish. You live here. If you were the only one making money, the villagers would be jealous and something would happen sooner or later. Now that everyone can make money, they'll treat you very well."
Wang Dahu showed an expression of admiration towards Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu: I just don’t like killing and pickling fish.
Wang Dahu then asked where Ye Mingzhu had retrieved the box containing the cloth and gold and silver jewelry?
Ye Mingzhu tried hard to recall, but she really couldn't remember. She just picked up two boxes in the space.
"Uncle, is there anything wrong with those two boxes?"
"You are such a lucky kid." Wang Dahu was not in a position to touch Ye Mingzhu's head, so he patted the table, looked outside, and lowered his voice again.
"That's a box made of red sandalwood and golden nanmu. If it were new, you wouldn't be able to buy it even with money."
Ye Mingzhu blinked. Rosewood and golden nanmu? Are they very expensive?
Wang Dahu continued, "I've decided to keep both boxes. The head shopkeeper will have someone look after you and buy you a shop and a farm. But, in whose name will these shops and farms be registered?"
"Write Yun'an's name. He has some properties under his name, which will make it easier for him to get married in the future." Ye Mingzhu said this sincerely, so that Yun'an would not feel like a dependent.
Besides, she has so many things in her space, so she can just buy them when she finds a suitable farm or shop in the future.
Wang Dahu didn't expect that Ye Mingzhu cared for his younger brother so much. That was several thousand taels of silver, and she actually gave it to his younger brother as soon as she said she would.
"How about this, the manor will be your dowry, and the shop will be given to Yun'an. Once you buy the shop, you can rent it out. When Yun'an grows up and wants to do business, you can take it back."
Wang Dahu didn't want Mingzhu to suffer any loss, so he simply made the decision for her, "I'll talk to Yun'an."
"What do you want to tell me?" Ye Yun'an just happened to have sent Uncle Ye back.
"Yun'an, your sister gave me some things she caught in the sea a few days ago. I calculated that after selling them, I could probably buy a small farm and a shop. I've made the decision. The farm will be your sister's dowry, and the shop will be left to you."
Ye Yun'an shook his head like a rattle: "No, give it all to sister. I rely on you for support now. How can I have the nerve to ask for your shop again?"
Wang Dahu was very pleased to see that the brother and sister were both thinking about each other.
"Yun'an, it's good that you think this way, but for your sister, it's more important that you have the ability to support her in the future. I heard from your sister that your brother-in-law taught you how to read and is also going to teach you martial arts. You must study hard."
Wang Dahu sincerely hopes that the brother and sister can help each other and make their lives better.
Ye Mingzhu also advised Ye Yun'an to just put the shop in his name and share the rent with everyone.
Ye Yun'an was young after all, so he agreed after being persuaded by the two.
Wang Dahu took out the things for the two of them, including food, snacks, and even pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"You guys can use these first. Yun'an is young, and Mingzhu isn't in good health either. You guys should eat less whole grains. I'll buy more if you run out."
"Here is fifty taels of silver. Take it and spend it first. I'll find someone to send you money later. Your uncle will support you in the future."
Ye Mingzhu pushed the silver back: "Uncle, we have money."
Wang Dahu shook his head: "Mingzhu, you have a cold. In the future, go to the sea less often. The money your uncle earns can support you and your sister."
Ye Mingzhu then remembered that before she told him that she could draw, Ye Yun'an had already rushed to tell him.
"Uncle, my sister can draw pictures, and those pictures can be sold for money."
Wang Dahu didn't understand, so Ye Mingzhu explained, "There's a Linglong Pavilion in our town. I draw jewelry designs for them, and they give me a share of the profits."
Although he hasn't received the money yet, Uncle Ye said that the jewelry from Linglong Pavilion has been selling very well recently, and Mr. Lin's face is getting better and better.
Wang Dahu's face was filled with shock. "So our little Mingzhu has this ability. Now your uncle won't have to worry about your life anymore."
"However, that is the money you earned. You still have to accept the money given by your uncle."
Wang Dahu pushed the silver back, his face pretending to be serious: "Mingzhu, you don't have to worry about the money. If you don't have enough, ask your uncle for it. Your uncle can support you."
"Uncle, I can really make money. How about I take you to the town some other day?" Ye Mingzhu was afraid that Wang Dahu would not believe her, so she tried hard to explain.
"Okay, my uncle believes you, but it would be nice if we could go for a stroll in town tomorrow."
Wang Dahu just wanted to go to town to buy some things for Ye Mingzhu and her brother.
The next day, Ye Yun'an prepared the meal early and handed it to Ye Mingzhu across the wall.
Aunt Jiang laughed as she watched from the side: "Who came up with this idea?"
Ye Mingzhu was a little embarrassed: "Yun An said it would be more convenient this way."
Aunt Jiang had been a widow for many years and had always lived in Yuanshan Village. She was familiar with the situation in the village and knew that this was also to protect her. She smiled and said, "After dinner, I will go to the pharmacy in town. You don't have to cook for me at noon."
Ye Mingzhu was stunned for a moment: "Mom, my uncle and I have something to do and we have to go to town too."
"That's perfect. I don't have to cook at home." Aunt Jiang looked relieved. She went back to the house, took out a silver ingot and handed it to Ye Mingzhu: "If you see something you like, buy it. If you don't have enough money, come back and tell me, and I'll get you more."
Ye Mingzhu stared at the five-liang silver ingot in front of her in a daze: The Jiang family is so rich!
