His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 49: His Insecurities

Yao Ling felt lucky. Although she was also from a peasant background, Jiu Lan taught her to read and write.

If it weren't for her, she probably wouldn't be able to work at 'Fu Rong' and gain Wang Luo Hai's approval.

If it weren't for Jiu Lan, when she became a part of Wang Luo Hai's family, they would definitely insult her because she was illiterate.

"I need you to spend some times teaching them how to read and write.

You can start working at 'Fu Rong' after making lunch for the children. I'll personally explain this to Xiao Qian.

It's common to have someone only taking one shift, so it won't be a big problem considering that you also have responsibilities for the children.

You already prove your worth with your beautiful embroidery just now.

This way, in the morning, you will have time to teach the children," Yao Ling started to work on her plan. She didn't want to delay their progress.

"Okay. How about their jobs? How will you assign it to them?" Ning jie asked curiously.

Yao Ling pondered over it for a while. "Hmm... I need to know their personalities first. I also need to know their strength and weakness. In a few days, I will probably go to your place and find out about it. I'm not in a hurry to put them on the jobs, because I need to clean up my courtyard first."

"I can help you by giving the list of their names and I can also tell you a little bit of them for an introduction. It will be easier for you that way," Ning jie offered.

"That would be helpful for me. Thank you. For now, you should go back to your post. I'll explain to Xiao Qian. About your salary, don't worry! I'll take care of it," Yao Ling assured Ning jie.

"Okay, Yao Ling. Thank you very much. Then, I'll go first," Ning jie curtsied and left.

After Ning jie went back to her work, Xiao Yu went closer to her young mistress. "Young Mistress, do you plan on using the children as your subordinates?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Her young mistress really thought deeply about this matter.

Xiao Yu admired how her young mistress could cook up such a good plan.

The children were fresh - not contaminated by any fractions previously - and young mistress would certainly get their loyalties, especially because she was able to convince Ning jie whom being loved by the children.

Xiao Yu noticed that the plan must have been cooked up on the spot back at Ning jie's house.

Xiao Yu also thought that she should train herself to be more useful for Young Mistress.

After being used and blackmailed by Liu Li, she felt her naivety should be thrown away. No one should be trusted except her master.

She was also feeling thankful to Xiu. If Xiu didn't tell about it to Young Mistress, she probably would still lie to her young mistress and make a greater mistake.

She would lose her chance to prove her loyalty.

Yao Ling watched Xiao Yu's full of curiosity expression and laughed.

"Indeed. I need to gain more people to fight back. I don't want them to bully me and my people."

Xiao Yu nodded in understanding. Before she could say anything else, Li Huan came. "Young Mistress, a servant from 'Lin Fu' said that Young Master won't be able to come to 'Fu Rong' today because Young Master Lin caught him and he will borrow our young master for the rest of the day. They accidentally met after Young Master finished doing his business with Master."
