Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

early morning.

The sun was high in the sky.

Jiang Miaomiao started passively nursing before she even opened her eyes.

After eating, I had to poop, which woke me up. After all, it was the middle of winter, and with my bottom closed, it would be strange if I didn't wake up from the cold.

Her mother tied her to her chest, picked up a broom, and began sweeping the floor.

It's rare to see my mother at home during the day.

Aunt Cui from next door saw Lu Qingyao open the courtyard gate and start sweeping, and curiously ran over to ask her about it.

"Miao Miao's mother, what happened to your daughter last night? She cried for most of the night, crying so pitifully..."

Lu Qingyao was taken aback, then realized, "Miaomiao had indigestion last night and had some abdominal pain, so I massaged her stomach for half the night, which is why she woke up late."

Aunt Cui came over and tugged at Jiang Miaomiao's little hand. "Poor child, take her to see a doctor."

Jiang Miaomiao sensed her kindness and grinned.

Lu Qingyao had noticed long ago that her little daughter seemed to be quite good at reading people's expressions.

The expressions on their faces were also varied.

When she meets someone she likes, she'll grin from ear to ear; but when she meets someone she dislikes, she won't even bother to smile—her face will scrunch up in a grimace.

Mother and Aunt Cui chatted casually for a few minutes.

Then he went back to cook.

Jiang Miaomiao was put in the cradle by her mother to practice lifting her head.

The eldest brother, Jiang Zifeng, was still practicing his boxing, then switching between fist and sword techniques, "Hehehaha..."

The second elder brother, Jiang Ziyan, continued his studies, reciting, "The Great Learning teaches us to manifest our bright virtue, to love the people..."

Jiang Miaomiao had been wondering all morning where her mother had gone last night.

But neither my brother nor my mother ever mentioned it.

She practiced lifting her head for a while, but her second brother flipped her over again.

I'll flip it over and practice again in a bit.

Jiang Miaomiao felt like a salted fish basking in the sun.

It gets sunned on one side for a while, then flipped over to sun-dry the other side.

Watching flocks of birds fly by beneath the drifting white clouds.

Jiang Miaomiao pinned her hopes on the birds.

But they seemed to be cursing Liu Fugui, cursing him for driving all the birds and beasts on the mountain to extinction.

He cursed his stupid son.

At his age, he spends all his time shooting birds with a slingshot.

It has made it impossible for them to live in peace.

Jiang Miaomiao discovered for the first time that these birds could actually say some pretty nasty things.

They could practically curse someone's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Fortunately, neither of her two older brothers had the habit of teasing cats, dogs, or birds.

Otherwise, none of these birds would come to her house.

She could no longer hear those brilliant insults.

During a break from reading, Jiang Ziyan glanced at the baby and saw him staring intently at the peach tree.

It should be said that he was staring at the flock of birds in the peach tree.

The birds were chirping and chattering, as if they were arguing.

The birds were chirping unusually loud today, so loudly that he couldn't read his book.

However, since his sister liked him, he couldn't bear to send her away.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Miaomiao saw her mother washing clothes.

Strangely, a lot of muddy water came out after washing.

After washing the clothes, I carried her for a stroll around the village and sat under the old locust tree for a while.

Those who were talking about my mother yesterday suddenly changed their tune and began to sympathize with her and her daughter.

"Miao Miao's mother, you need to think more positively. Life goes on even without a man. Take good care of the child..."

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Jiang Miaomiao's little face.

He sighed, "This little girl is well-raised, fair-skinned and chubby, and pretty too. She'll definitely marry into a good family in the future. What do you think of my Tiger? We could arrange a marriage between them..."

Jiang Miaomiao stared at the middle-aged woman with her toothless mouth agape in disbelief.

She's so young, why are people already planning for her future?

Then I looked at the little boy playing in the mud on the ground.

The little boy was sniffling, and just as the snot was about to come to his mouth, he sniffled it back up.

Jiang Miaomiao shivered.

At this moment, she seemed to understand somewhat that after her cheap, scumbag father rose to prominence, he never returned home in glory.

He was probably afraid that these fellow villagers would say something that would choke him to death.

Lu Qingyao smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the woman in the floral-patterned jacket pointed to the little girl carrying her younger brother in the distance, "Auntie, if you don't like Tiger, my Ling-jie would be fine too. She's only three years older than your Feng-ge..."

"As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older than her husband is a golden brick.' My sister Ling is capable and strong, and she'll definitely be able to give birth to a son. After you marry her, she can also help take care of this little one. The dowry is only fifty taels of silver. You're really getting a good deal!"

Jiang Miaomiao's eyes were wide open like saucers, and her mouth, which had just been agape, remained agape.

If my older brother knew this, I wonder what his expression would be.

Lu Qingyao's smile froze on her face, and her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

Auntie in the floral jacket grabbed her mother's hand, looking adorably silly, and said, "Auntie, why aren't you saying anything? Do you think the betrothal gifts are too much? Then reduce it by another forty-five taels, that's the lowest we can go."

Lu Qingyao coughed awkwardly twice, then withdrew her hand with a smile, looking regretful. "It's really unfortunate, all the children in the family are engaged, and they'll have to go back to get married when they reach the appropriate age..."

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, we're still engaged now, so we can't go back on our word.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the floral-patterned jacket didn't press the matter further, only saying, "What a pity... what a pity..."

Seeing that she was in a daze, Lu Qingyao grabbed the baby and fled as if she were escaping.

She probably never imagined that the first time she would take the initiative to chat with her fellow villagers would be about such a topic.

After returning home, her mother did not go out again, nor did she tell her older brother Jiang Zifeng.

He almost ended up with a cheap wife.

After dinner, Mother took the whole family out again.

Instead of going to the village entrance, she took a walk around the village.

Jiang Miaomiao saw the entire Taoxi Village for the first time.

Taoxi Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with many bamboo forests on the mountains, forming a large, lush green expanse.

It is indeed a great place to live.

Otherwise, why would Mother have come all this way to this place...?

"Auntie, are you also going to the village entrance? Let's go together." A plump old woman caught up with them, panting.

Jiang Miaomiao remembered that her mother was not familiar with this person and had never even spoken a word to him.

This is probably what they call being naturally outgoing and friendly. The key is that most of the people in this village are like that.

"Auntie, what happened at the village entrance?" Lu Qingyao asked, looking puzzled.

"You don't know yet, do you? Landlord Liu, Liu Fugui, led his servants up the mountain to hunt early this morning. They saw a hilltop full of game, including wolves, deer, and even a bear..."

"That dense forest was full of miasma, but he insisted on going there, and guess what?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingyao asked curiously, "Did you catch a bear?"

The plump woman shook her head. "He doesn't have that skill. I heard he fell into a hunter's trap. The trap was so deep that it took him most of the day to rescue him."

"Ah! How badly are you injured?" Lu Qingyao feigned surprise.

The plump woman shook her head, saying she didn't know anything more.

Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother, not missing a single expression on her face.

He seemed to have understood something.

The Jiang brothers exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding.

It's their mother, it must be...
