Chapter 97 Poor People
Ye Yun'an paused with the pen in his hand, and ink dripped down, and a piece of paper that was almost finished was wasted.
He frowned and stood up: "Sister, I'll go take a look outside."
Ye Mingzhu put down the charcoal pencil in her hand without being affected: "Let's go and see it together."
Ye Yun'an stood in front of her: "Brother-in-law is not at home, I will protect you."
Ye Mingzhu smiled but said nothing. With his mediocre kung fu, he might not be able to protect her. Besides, she was the owner of the manor after all, and Wu Jiang didn't look like a bad person, so nothing might happen to him.
While the two were talking, several people had already arrived in the compound.
The leaders turned out to be Aunt Hua and a woman, who were arguing about something. Behind them followed a few older children, all with unhappy looks on their faces.
"Boss, my mother-in-law did something wrong today, and I brought her here to admit her mistake." The woman looked at Ye Mingzhu with a flattering expression, "She is old and doesn't understand things. I will definitely keep an eye on her in the future."
Ye Mingzhu looked at her: "Are you Erya's mother?"
"Yes, yes, yes, sir, my mother-in-law is ignorant, please forgive her." The woman hunched her back and said flattering words.
Ye Mingzhu didn't understand what was going on: "I remember asking her to inform you to go to Tianbangerlin. What are you doing here?"
The woman looked aggrieved: "I went, but the group of people said that my mother-in-law had offended the boss and wouldn't let me work. Boss, it's all my mother-in-law's fault. You can't stop us from working, or we'll starve to death."
Ye Mingzhu's smile faded. She looked at the woman calmly, "Where did I say I wouldn't let you work? I asked your mother-in-law to tell you to go to the Sweet Stick Forest, but you refused to go and instead came here to cause trouble. Who gave you the courage?"
As soon as the woman stopped crying, she opened her eyes wide in shock.
Isn't it said that the host is just a little woman, seemingly uninformed and kind? She bought food for the children as soon as she arrived, so shouldn't she have pity on them? Why is she speaking so harshly?
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The woman and Aunt Hua have the same idea. The boss is so rich, so what's wrong with giving them some?
Ye Mingzhu sneered, "Here, if you work, you get food and money. If you don't work, you get nothing. This is the first time. If anyone comes here to cause trouble again, just cancel the lease. My small farm can't accommodate big tenants."
The yard was silent. The woman and Aunt Hua didn't dare to speak, and the children who followed them had already lowered their heads.
"Is there anything else? If not, you can leave." Ye Mingzhu waved at the two of them and asked them to leave.
The woman shuddered, struggling like a grasshopper after autumn, and said, "Master, the people on the farm won't let us work. You have to take charge of us."
"I'm in charge?" Ye Mingzhu looked at her steadily. "If you have any questions, go find the village head. If you're not satisfied with the village head, you can leave."
Isn't the village head responsible for solving problems? If she is the one who solves all problems, then what is the role of the village head?
The weather was a bit sunny today, and Ye Mingzhu felt the glare after staying outside for a while.
"If you have any problems, go find Wu Zhuangtou. If he can't solve it, come to me with him."
Ye Mingzhu didn't believe that Wu Zhuangtou would dare to bring this troublemaker to her, unless Wu Zhuangtou didn't want to do it anymore.
Thinking of whoever was coming, Wu Jiang brought people in from outside. When he saw Aunt Hua and her daughter-in-law, he didn't even look at them.
"Boss, we've cut down all the sweet sticks. I've left some people there to plow the soil, and the rest have been sent to the cross-yard."
"Okay," Ye Mingzhu finally smiled. "Please arrange for a few quick and quiet people to peel the skins of the candies. Ask Xiaoyue for the details."
Ye Mingzhu was still thinking that without a cutting machine, she had no idea how Wu Yue cut the sweet sticks into pieces.
Wu Jiang was not only not annoyed by Ye Mingzhu's esteem for Wu Yue, but was actually happy about it.
"Don't worry, Boss. I've already told Xiaoyue, and she has already arranged the people."
Wu Jiang was quite impressed by his sister. It had only been a short while, but she had already cut the candies and was ready to squeeze the juice. He was glad in his heart that it was his sister. If it was someone else, he might not be able to keep his position as the head of the village.
Ye Mingzhu's face was filled with joy: "Xiao Yue is really good. Village Head Wu must also take care of the affairs of the village."
Wu Jiang knew what Ye Mingzhu was talking about. He looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next to him, feeling a little annoyed. The boss doesn't mind the little trouble you guys have made, but you still come here to make trouble. You really think the boss is easy to talk to.
"Mother Daya, why are you coming to the Dong family's yard instead of working properly? Didn't I tell you a few days ago that you are not allowed to come to the Dong family's yard unless there is something wrong? I will come to find you if there is something wrong."
He said this to explain to Ye Mingzhu. He had said it, but the two of them didn't listen.
Neither Daya Niang nor Aunt Hua heard it. Daya Niang glanced at Ye Mingzhu and explained, "We went there, but they all said that my mother-in-law had offended the boss and they wouldn't let me work."
Wu Jiang directly pointed out her little thoughts: "When did you become so obedient to others? You want to take advantage without working, but you can't do that. The boss has handed over all the affairs of the farm to me, so hurry home."
Daya's mother secretly pinched Daya behind her. Daya felt pain but didn't dare to say a word. She just lowered her head deeply. When Ye Mingzhu saw this, she looked up at the sky.
This is a trick of inflicting pain on one's own flesh. Whoever has the child will feel sorry for him. Ye Mingzhu is unmoved.
Wu Jiang stamped his feet in anger. If this wasn't a woman, he would definitely go up and slap her.
"You'd better think about it carefully. Our farm will become prosperous in the future. If you don't want to do it, there are many people who want to do it." Wu Jiang walked to Daya Niang and said in a low voice.
"Let's go." Wu Jiang raised his voice again, and was about to pull a few people away.
Dayaniang followed Wu Jiang out without much hesitation. The boss was only here for a few days, so Wu Jiang had the final say in most matters of the village.
If he fails to please his boss and offends Wu Jiang, his future will definitely be difficult.
After watching the few people leave, Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything else to Wu Jiang and just asked him to take care of the arrangements.
At noon, Wu Jiang brought over some vegetables and a piece of bacon. Ye Yunan steamed rice and fried some vegetables. The two of them ate quietly.
After finishing his meal, Ye Yunan sighed: "I wonder when my brother-in-law will come back and how many people he will bring with him?"
Ye Mingzhu was not worried at all. Jiang Hongyu was able to gain a foothold in Yuanshan Village, so he must have the ability to judge people.
After dinner, Ye Mingzhu took a nap and didn't wake up until the sun was setting.
Ye Yun'an was practicing boxing in the yard. After finishing a set of boxing, his head was covered in sweat.
"Sister, it's getting dark soon. Isn't it time for my brother-in-law to come back?" As Ye Yun'an spoke, the door to the yard opened.
"I'm back."
