Chapter 354 - 277 The Neighboring Estate is For Sale
Housekeeper Meng had already sent out the message for a day or two, and seeing that the masters had already disposed of two shops and were preparing to return to the Capital City, the luggage was mostly packed.
He started to feel a bit troubled—if the estate couldn’t be sold, would the family leave him behind? During the Spring Festival, then, he wouldn’t be able to reunite with his own family.
If the estate couldn’t be sold in the future, would they leave him here at the Mountain Villa to manage the estate? Managing here compared to in the Capital City—if he had to choose, of course, a bustling place would offer more opportunities.
Having managed the estate here for half a year, he felt he had aged considerably: tanned by the sun, he had lost weight, and riding horses in the winter wind had caused the skin on his hands to peel and his face to become chapped by the cold winds.
Was this still the same Housekeeper Meng who had once elegantly managed the inner courtyards?
Ye Shiqi overheard her parents chatting casually; they had no intention of purchasing the neighboring estate. They felt that it wasn’t managed very well and that even if they did purchase it at a high price, it would not be profitable.
Ye Shiqi looked at the neighboring estate—it was indeed priced a bit higher, but if managed as well as theirs, it could actually make money.
She felt that not everyone could manage an estate as well as her family did. They didn’t just rely on management; it was thanks to her "Space Water" which grew the crops. The neighboring estate was alright; it was just that the land had been purchased at a high price, and without superior crop yields, it hadn’t turned a profit quickly.
