What does Chapter 327 mean?
Ye Yun'an directly shook off Ye Yunli's hand: "My sister is not that kind of person. My sister said that everyone must be responsible for their own choices."
Ye Yunli didn't believe what he said. Her mother said that Sister Mingzhu didn't marry well, so she could only train Ye Yun'an as her future support.
Mother also said that Ye Yun'an has not yet entered school, and will definitely not be as successful as him in the future. It would be great if Sister Mingzhu was willing to support her.
Ye Yunli's eyes were darting around, thinking about how to please Ye Mingzhu. Several people had already walked into the third room of the Ye family.
Fang heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. She wiped her wet hands on herself twice and said with joy: "Mingzhu and Yun'an are here, come in quickly."
Ye Mingzhu handed the things in her hand to Fang: "Third Aunt, Happy New Year."
Fang reached out to take the things, saying, "We are all family, why bring anything?"
She looked behind Ye Mingzhu and asked, "Mingzhu, is Hongyu still busy?"
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "Hongyu is not at home because of something."
Fang's face froze for a moment, and she repeated, "He's not at home. How could he go out on the second day of the New Year?"
Ye Mingzhu thought she was unhappy because Jiang Hongyu didn't accompany her back to her parents' home, so she explained, "A friend of mine had some problems, and Hongyu went to help."
Fang then raised her lips, welcomed them into the house, and served them some sweet soup: "Drink some first, and Third Aunt will make you something delicious at noon."
Uncle Ye was sitting next to the table with a small pile of melon seed shells next to him, and he was still working.
"Come on, try these melon seeds. I bought them in Lin County. They are delicious." Uncle Ye placed the plate of melon seeds in front of the two of them.
"Fruits are rare in winter, so I bought some. Mingzhu, please try them and see how they taste." Fang brought over a plate of fruits, about four or five of them, arranged on a plate.
Ye Mingzhu was a little flattered. Winter fruits are not cheap. This plate costs one hundred coins.
Have Uncle Ye and his wife made a fortune?
But the furnishings in the house have not changed. Although several people are wearing new clothes, the materials look very ordinary. But how can their family afford such expensive fruits?
Uncle Ye and Mrs. Fang are not the kind of people who care about their appetites.
While Ye Mingzhu was lost in thought, Ye Yunli looked at the fruit on the table and reached out his hand.
Fang quickly slapped his hand away: "You just had breakfast, and now you're eating fruit. You won't be able to eat meat soon."
Ye Yunli's lips trembled, and he wanted to refute, but Ye Yunping pulled his hand and called Ye Yunan over: "The three of us brothers are going out to play, let mother and the others talk in the house."
Ye Yun'an glanced at Ye Mingzhu, and when he saw her nod, he followed Ye Yunping and his brother out to play.
Fang took a fruit and placed it in front of Ye Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, have a sweet fruit."
Ye Mingzhu realized that Fang had something to ask for, otherwise she wouldn't have bought fruits and sent the children out.
She didn't take the fruit and said with a smile, "I ate a lot for breakfast, and now I can't eat anymore."
Fang placed the melon seed plate in front of her and said, "Then eat some melon seeds and let's talk."
Ye Mingzhu did not refute her. She pinched a melon seed in her hand and said with a smile, "Okay."
Fang's smile brightened as she talked about the changes in the village during this period.
Now everyone in the village knows that there is a gold mine on the island, and it is heavily guarded by troops, and Jiang Hongyu is the leader of those troops.
Originally, no one took the gold mine seriously. After all, the gold mine belonged to the country, and no matter how much gold was dug out, it would never reach their hands.
Who would have known that during the Chinese New Year, everyone working in the gold mine would bring back a lot of silver, which was much more than what they could earn by going out to sea to fish for pearls or clams, or doing odd jobs in town.
But the gold mine has already recruited enough people and there are no plans to recruit more for the time being. Some families have already started to make a fuss, either giving up their jobs or paying their wages.
Fang's family is from another village. Before, Ye Mingzhu gave them the idea to sell salted fish and they made a lot of money. Everyone's life became much better, so when the gold mine was recruiting people, they didn't come.
But now the weather is too cold and it is difficult to catch fish in the sea. Seeing that they can make so much money from mining, Fang's family members came to her and asked her to help intercede.
Fang originally wanted to tell Jiang Hongyu, but Jiang Hongyu didn't come, so she could only play the emotional card first.
Ye Mingzhu held a melon seed in her hand and turned it over and over, as if there was a flower on the melon seed.
Seeing Ye Mingzhu only smiled and didn't say anything, Fang gritted her teeth and said, "There are fewer fish in the sea now, and Yunli's second uncle has nothing to do at home, so why not let him go to the island to help Hongyu."
"Second Uncle Yunli is just like your uncle. He will definitely do a good job when he goes there. Hongyu will definitely be better off using his own uncle than others."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "My uncle is still in the capital. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."
Her meaning was very clear. Her uncle was Wang Dahu, and Yunli's uncle could only be his uncle.
"As far as I know, the island has no plans to recruit any more miners. I don't dare to interfere with Hongyu's affairs on the island."
She directly blocked Fang's next words.
Fang was rejected and clenched the melon seeds in her hand. The seeds crushed and one of the pieces stuck in her hand, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
"Mingzhu, you see, we are all family, so why not talk to Hongyu?"
Fang said this with anticipation in her eyes.
Ye Mingzhu put down the shiny melon seeds and smiled bitterly: "Aunt San, I can't do anything about it. That's the court's business, how can I make the decision?"
Uncle Ye raised his eyelids and said, "Mingzhu, aren't Ye Lang and Ye Wu following Hongyu? Just ask your second uncle to come along too."
Ye Mingzhu wondered if Third Uncle Ye was out of his mind, so she pushed back: "How about Third Uncle go talk to the clan leader and ask the two cousins not to go and give the place to Second Uncle Yunli?"
Uncle Ye almost broke the melon seeds. How could he dare to say this in front of the clan leader? He would definitely be beaten out.
"Hmph..." He glared at Ye Mingzhu, brought the plate of melon seeds in front of himself, and stopped talking.
"Look at you, why are you getting anxious while talking? We are all family, how can Mingzhu let us suffer a loss?" Fang shook her head.
Ye Mingzhu always felt that she had something else to say.
"Mingzhu, look, the salted fish we made before is not selling as well as it did in the summer." The worry on Fang's face was real.
"Now that Yunping and Yunli are both studying, there are more and more places to spend money, and life at home is really hard."
Fang said this and sniffed.
Ye Mingzhu frowned. Today was the second day of the Chinese New Year. What did Fang mean by saying so much?
"Uncle San is not sending pearls to Linglong Pavilion anymore?"
