Chapter 301: 301 Ye Wenzheng’s Struggle Chapter 301: 301 Ye Wenzheng’s Struggle Ye Jiu was well aware that Ye Wenzheng wouldn’t let anyone bully him; otherwise, he couldn’t have chased Ye San Granny around the village with a kitchen knife, causing her to scream and scamper everywhere.

However, now if Ye Wenzheng followed him to the capital city, it would indeed put their family, including Wang’s wife and Ye Yun, in some danger at home.

Since Ye Wenzheng was working for him now, he couldn’t just stand by and let his family be bullied by others.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jiu said, “During our time in the capital city, it might be better for your sister-in-law and Ye Yun to move to live on the estate. Also, after meeting with the people from the Escort Agency and getting this matter settled, you should hand over the duties on the estate to Ye Changsheng and let him manage them for the time being.”

All of a sudden, Ye Wenzheng felt a sense of loss.

This estate, from its purchase to its current state, everything, be it the manpower or arrangements, had been personally handled by him, and everyone there called him steward Ye.

But now, having arranged everything, he was suddenly supposed to hand it over to someone else.

It felt just like watching the crops one had toiled over almost ready for harvest, only to see them taken away by others.

Naturally, Ye Wenzheng was somewhat reluctant.

Ye Jiu saw Ye Wenzheng’s struggle but did not speak. Instead, he continued to sit and wait, waiting for Ye Wenzheng’s decision.

If he did not wish to go to the capital city and preferred to continue managing the estate, that was fine, but…

As a subordinate who only thought of his own interests, it was clear that he would not be the right fit for the job.

Ye Jiu would not do away with Ye Wenzheng’s position in charge of the estate, but the extent of his journey with him would be just that!

She needed subordinates who would obey orders and arrangements absolutely, thinking of her interests in all matters, so she could entrust them with her affairs with complete confidence.

Time passed, and the room was silent for a long while.

Ye Wenzheng was still struggling, while Ye Jiu did not rush him, quietly waiting instead.

Fortunately, Ye Wenzheng did not disappoint her, as he suddenly looked at Ye Jiu with a determined face, “Yes, I understand.”

Ye Wenzheng had come to a realization.

Just a few months ago, he had nothing. Being young and slight of build, he wasn’t as strong as the others. When he carried goods at the docks, others earned enough to provide for their families, but he could only contribute a little to his household.

Even when his younger sister was sold, and his mother was driven to desperation, all he could do was feel hatred and helplessness.

It was Ye Jiu who changed his fate.

She gave him the money to redeem his sister and her medicines allowed for a swift recovery of his sister’s and mother’s health. Ye Jiu also enabled him to earn ten taels of silver as a monthly wage, allowing him not to worry about food and drink, to manage a group of people, and to receive looks of envy and a respectable status.

Now, when he went out, those who recognized him would call him steward Ye.

Those who had once looked down on him, now addressed him respectfully as Brother Ye when they saw him again.

And, all of this was given to him by Ye Jiu.

He had no other skills; the only thing he could do was to follow orders and abide by her arrangements.

So what if he was no longer the steward of the estate?

He still received ten taels of silver as a monthly wage, and moreover, he could go to the capital city with An Jing and broaden his horizons.

That, for him, was enough.

Ye Jiu was very pleased with Ye Wenzheng’s performance, even though he had experienced a long period of struggle.

But, as long as he could figure it out in the end, it proved that he was a clear-sighted person and one worth cultivating.
