He hated those people in his hometown all his life, and would rather lose his family property and feed it to the dogs than take advantage of them.
As soon as the third child left, the Ye family discussed the matter.
For one thing, people are subject to misfortunes and fortunes, and no one can guarantee their own safety and sustainability.
If Father Ye had an emergency and his daughters were underage and couldn't find a son-in-law, those uncles from his hometown would definitely come to rob the property. They were evil wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones.
Secondly, Jiaying, the eldest daughter, has been ambitious since she was a child. She always imagined that she was a man who could study and contribute to the family.
Father Ye was from the canal transport industry and had some friendship with the prefect's Yamen at that time.
He spent some money and relied on connections, and without realizing it, he changed the name of his eldest daughter, Ye Jiaying, to his eldest son, Ye Jiaying.
When this was changed, Ye Jiaying's second sister had memories, but the third sister was only four years old at the time and didn't really understand it; as for the fourth sister, she was only over a year old.
Ye Jiaying was so happy that she immediately shaved her head, grew braids, and wore men's clothes.
She transferred to a men's private school again.
She imitated their words and deeds, her homework was correct and serious, and her master favored her very much.
Even if the male classmates suspected that she was a little girl, the master would scold them.
She was only nine years old when she changed her gender. At that time, she could not distinguish between male and female. However, the friends who grew up together would never doubt her identity.
until now.
Every time Ye's mother mentioned this decision, she would sigh that they were lucky - who would have thought that her husband would actually die of illness a few years later?
After my husband passed away, people from my hometown really came to make trouble.
Father Ye is very aware of the vicious nature of those in his family.
However, the government was still in power at that time, and the eldest son Ye had gone abroad with a scholarship from the court. There were still heirs in the Ye family, so it was not his uncle's turn to snatch the property.
In addition, Ye's father had some friends in the officialdom who secretly helped.
People from my hometown came and made trouble twice, and they were imprisoned twice, but they stopped from then on.
These years, things have been going smoothly.
The house is the family's nest; the shop is their food ration.
These are legacies.
Now it belongs to Ye Jiaying - provided she is a man.
Therefore, until Ye Jiaying is able to afford a house and shop, save enough dowry for her sisters, and support their education, her identity must not be compromised in the slightest.
Even the sisters can't know.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
"...I'll settle my errands first and rent a small apartment nearby."
She thought so.
Her alley is a bit remote, so taking the tram to work is not practical; and there are many sisters in her family, so they have to be careful when entering and leaving.
"Yinjie, what do you think I should choose to do?"
Ye Jiaying suddenly asked him.
She also wants to hear other people's opinions.
Xu Yinjie didn't know her family situation.
Before, he hoped that she could teach so that they could hang out together all day long.
Now...
"Yun Qiao invites you to Jimin Hospital.
The salary at Jimin Hospital is higher than that at Fucheng Hospital, and since Jimin Hospital is backed by the Xi family, it is indeed more respectable."
Xu Yinjie said.
Ye Jiaying: "Then I have to send a telegram to Commander Chu to explain the situation.
He enthusiastically recommended it, so you can’t let him down.”
Xu Yinjie sneered.
Commander Chu was indeed very grateful to Ye Jiaying, but it was not so trivial.
The person who was very enthusiastic about Ye Jiaying was Commander Chu's deputy, Xia Botian.
"...It must be Xia Botian who is behind this.
Let me tell you, Xia Botian is dishonest. I suspect he likes to be a rabbit.
It’s slimy and disgusting.”
Xu Yinjie said.
Ye Jiaying: "..."
This is a misunderstanding of Deputy Xia.
Xia Botian was indeed very kind to Ye Jiaying, but it was just a brotherly love.
Ye Jiaying even doubted whether he knew she was a woman.
However, Xia Botian didn't say anything, and it was hard for her to make it clear.
