The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"Yes," Ye Er did not give the two any chance to struggle and quickly stepped forward to grab their collars, bringing them over. The other maids of the Ye Residence went to find ropes and promptly tied the two up.

"Throw them out of the residence, and make sure to disclose their actions so people don’t think we, the Ye Family, are nitpicking over trivial matters," Lele immediately added another sentence. "Also, instruct the gatekeeper that if these two come back, beat them every time they show up, no need for politeness."

"Yes," soon after Ye Er carried out one mama in each hand.

Meanwhile, Lele glanced at everyone in the courtyard, seizing the opportunity to speak loudly, "To work for the Ye Family, you must fulfill your duties with diligence and devotion. If you do your work well, the Ye Family will certainly not treat you unfairly. If, because of my father’s situation, you all start wavering, thinking that the Ye Family is declining like the sun setting over West Mountain and want to climb higher branches, let me tell you, if you want to leave, go now to the accounting office to get your money and leave. If you don’t want to leave, then work honestly. If something like today happens again, don’t blame me for being merciless. Do you all understand?"

"Yes, we understand!"

Among these people, aside from a few elders, all were hired later because the Ye Family had many matters to attend to recently, and some were restless.

However, unlike those two mamas, these folks weren’t attendants to their masters and were more cautious in their conduct. Even if restless, they remained fairly well-behaved, and after Lele’s words today, they felt even more reassured.

The young master was a prince; with him around, even if the Ye Family was in decline, it was still stronger than average households. Moreover, there was that lady of the house, a formidable figure. In short, as long as they worked diligently and stayed put, even if they didn’t gain any benefits, they wouldn’t face any harm either.

"Glad you understand!" Lele snorted and then said, "Work well, and once we get past this toughest period for the Ye Family, you will certainly not lack rewards."

"Yes, thank you, young master," they responded.

"Alright, you may all go back to your tasks," said Lele. He then turned to an overseer and instructed, "Take extra care of Aunt Dongyang’s courtyard. With Auntie no longer here, make frequent inquiries at Su Ma’s place to see if anything is needed. Send it over as needed—that’s proper hospitality."

"Yes, yes, this subordinate will surely follow your orders."

After everyone had dispersed, Yangyang finally jogged over to him, "Big brother, you’re so impressive! You were so formidable just now, and you sounded a lot like mother when you spoke."

Mama Li, who had finished attending to Yueyue and Qingqing, heard Lele’s speech and felt in her heart that this child was truly formidable. So young, yet already able to stand on his own. He would be even more remarkable when he grew up. She felt happy inside, as she had watched all the children grow up and felt a sense of pride.

"These people do need to be disciplined, or else they’ll think that with no adults at home, they can easily fool a few children," said Lele. "Little brother, remember, you are the master. These people are sustained by our family’s money. Since they rely on our household to live, we cannot let them climb onto our heads. Understand?"

"I understand, brother. If anyone dares to bully me, I’ll beat them up."

"Alright, you can say that, but we also have to respect those who genuinely work for our family, understand?"

"I understand, I’ll listen to big brother."

"Then let’s go inside and see father," Lele said, patting his brother’s shoulder like an adult. "We just wait for mother to come back, and everything will be fine."
