Ye Wenyu sought to earn fame and distinction through military service, and Mr. and Mrs. Ye Gaoshui were certainly instrumental in this respect.
Ultimately, Ye Gaoshui did not go to the frontier border to seek help. The world was in chaos, and without any skills, going there would have been futile.
As for Ye Wenyu, with some skills to his credit, it was believed that he would encounter no trouble on the road.
Moreover, the territory he was heading to was right under Sikong Mo's control. However, Ye Jiu did not mention Ye Wenyu's situation to Sikong Mo.
If he chose to enlist, he had to climb the ranks step by step. Advancement through connections wasn't his genuine ability. It was believed that since Ye Wenyu had such determination to join the army, he must disdain taking shortcuts.
Since that day, Mrs. Zhao had not visited the fourth household anymore.
But her absence only made Mrs. He and Ye Jiu all the more relaxed.
Although the Ye family doubted claims of a thousand catties per mu yield, the burgeoning wealth of the Ye Family did not escape the envious gaze of others.
Therefore, even with a skeptical outlook, more than half of the clan members were willing to trust Ye Lao's judgment and exchanged their seeds for high-yielding ones at his home. Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
It goes without saying that the Ye Family's lands were also fully planted with the seeds provided by Ye Jiu.
However, after sowing the seeds, Ye Lao still felt uneasy.
Taking advantage of dinner time, Ye Lao opened the conversation, "Little Jiujiu, are these high-yield crops reliable? Most of our clan in the village have planted them. If we can't harvest as much as expected, what shall we do?"
Mrs. He wasn't worried at all. She figured it out quickly, "What else can we do? We exchanged grain for grain, fair and square, without shortchanging anyone. Even if we don't harvest a thousand catties per mu, they won't lose out compared to the usual yield. What's there to worry about?"
Ye Lao thought it over, "You're right, we are not taking advantage of anyone. But today, for some reason, I just can't settle down and feel quite unsettled."
"That's because you have nothing else to do now that the seeds are in the ground, you're just idle!" replied Mrs. He.
Watching his parents bicker happily, Ye Jiu's smile was unstoppable.
She wondered if she and Sikong Mo would be like her parents when they grew old, occasionally bickering and living a life full of charm.
With a thunderous rumble, the sky dimmed, followed by a drizzle that signified the transition from spring to summer.
After two whole days, the rain finally stopped.
Then came the scorching sun, which swiftly dried the sodden earth with its intense heat in just one day.
At night, the dry heat brought a stifling warmth.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door to Ye Jiu's room was kicked open, startling her so much that she sat up abruptly from her bed.
With a swish of silver light flashing before her eyes, a blade stabbed towards her as she sat upright.
The attack was so swift that Ye Jiu barely managed to dodge it.
Luckily, Ye Bai arrived in time. Before the attacker in black could launch another fiercer assault, Ye Bai had already kicked him out with a swift blow.
Ye Bai's kick was strong; after being kicked out, the man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes back, and fell to the ground motionless.
By the looks of it, he had likely met his end.
Ye Jiu looked at Ye Bai, "Where were you when this person came in?"
Logically, since Ye Bai had detected Si Rong before his arrival last time, he should not have made a mistake this time either.
Unexpectedly, Ye Bai answered as if it made perfect sense, "Isn't it because I was worried that the visitor might be another friend of the master, so I didn't dare to act rashly? I wanted to see the situation first before deciding what to do."
