Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

So many people were heading to the village entrance to watch the play...

Holding the child, pulling the child along.

The elderly, children, young adults...

It seems the whole village went.

Jiang Miaomiao had a strange feeling, as if she saw smiles on the villagers' faces.

Because she was watching it while lying down.

Looking up, you can clearly see the smile muscles on a person's cheeks moving.

My mother was the same.

A large crowd had gathered at the village entrance; her mother was holding her, and her brother was protecting her.

Squeezed in.

Then I saw a group of women dressed in gorgeous clothes looking around at the intersection.

And there was Chen Zhaodi, whom I saw that day.

She was already showing her pregnancy and was wiping away tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Liu Yuniang and Jiang Qiao'er squeezed next to Lu Qingyao, looking curious. "Sister-in-law, don't you usually dislike joining in the fun? Why are you here earlier than me today?"

Lu Qingyao smiled and said, "I was taking a stroll after dinner and happened to pass by, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Then I saw a group of people slowly walking towards the crowd, pulling an oxcart.

There were many cotton quilts on the oxcart, and Liu Fugui lay on them, groaning and moaning.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he was covered in injuries, with his lower body completely wrapped in white cloth.

"How did you get injured like this?" someone in the crowd asked.

"I heard there were several animal traps in that pit, and the injuries were quite severe. When they were rescued, they were covered in scrapes and bruises, and they'll probably be bedridden for the rest of their lives..."

The sound grew softer and softer until Jiang Miaomiao could barely hear it anymore.

Then someone nearby cursed, "Serves him right, it's retribution! He extorted a lot of our grain and land, and even occupied our hilltops, making it impossible for us to hunt or even eat meat..."

"Keep your voice down. If he hears you, you'll be in trouble. Don't forget, her daughter is the county magistrate's concubine. One whispered word from her in bed, and we're finished..."

"What are you afraid of? Don't you know? That Miss Liu was fighting with the other concubines over a man's affections and almost scratched his face. She's already fallen out of favor." The speaker gloated, his tone rising.

"Really?" Everyone who heard this looked at the old man in disbelief.

"You're not holding a grudge against Landlord Liu for stealing your son's betrothal goose, are you? You're just making this up."

The white-bearded old man's eyebrows twitched. "Of course it's true. My son works at the county magistrate's mansion. He saw it with his own eyes. There's no way it could be fake."

"Indeed, the magistrate's new concubine is much prettier than Miss Liu Wu. It's karma that Liu Fugui is like this..."

"That's right, it's retribution. If you do too many bad things, even God will not stand for it."

"The timing is perfect; we can go hunting in the mountains tomorrow..."

"What are you thinking? Liu Fugui has already killed off most of the pheasants and rabbits, there's nothing left for us!"

"Hey......"

More than a dozen of Liu's concubines surrounded Liu Fugui, weeping bitterly.

I don't know if I'm crying because I'm sad or happy.

Anyway, Chen Zhaodi cried the most heartbrokenly, squatting on the ground and sobbing.

“The child hasn’t even been born yet, and the child’s father is already disabled. How could she not be heartbroken?” Liu Yuniang hit the nail on the head.

Jiang Qiao'er wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Liu Yuniang pulled her back.

Pointing at her forehead, he scolded, "Jiang Qiao'er, why don't you learn your lesson? I told you not to associate with her, and to pretend you don't know her when you see her. Why did you still go up and join in the fun?"

"Mother, I just wanted to say a few words of comfort to her..."

"She doesn't need your comfort at all. Liu Fugui and his wife are probably more anxious to find a wife for their mentally challenged son right now. Don't go crashing into her like a fool, understand?"

"I understand, Mother. I won't go out for the next few days."

Jiang Qiao'er was too young to understand the connection between them.

But you can't go wrong by listening to her mother.

Her parents truly wanted what was best for her.

Unlike Chen Zhaodi's parents, who sold her for just a few dozen taels of silver.

Jiang Miaomiao thought her aunt was also a smart person.

They're just too powerful; they'll resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

Fortunately, her mother was extremely kind to her and her siblings.

Neither of my eldest nor second eldest brothers were ever whipped.

Even Sister Qiao'er was extremely envious.

However, her mother is truly formidable, unlike her aunt who only appears formidable on the surface.

Her mother was a typical woman raised in a wealthy and prestigious family.

She is always calm and composed in the face of adversity, and while she appears gentle and virtuous on the surface, she is actually quite shrewd in her methods.

Unlike other young ladies, she possessed exceptional skills, but she rarely revealed them to others.

Jiang Miaomiao thought that if her maternal grandfather's family hadn't been convicted of a crime and her mother hadn't lost her maternal family's support, what would have become of the Jiang family's concubine?

Thinking this way, her affection for her mother grew even stronger.

She must have done a lot of good deeds in her past life to have such a wonderful mother.

Landlord Liu became disabled and paralyzed.

Finally, the Liu family was taken over by Liu Fugui's legal wife, Madam Zhang.

Madam Liu dismissed all the concubines who had never given birth.

As for those who had given birth and didn't want to stay, she didn't force them; she gave them money and they left.

Of course, Madam Liu showed no mercy to her usually arrogant concubines, and directly found slave traders to sell them off.

In the end, only a few old and faded women with nowhere else to go were left to serve Liu Fugui.

Only Chen Zhaodi.

Going is not an option, staying is not an option either.

Having a daughter is fine, but if it's a son, he'll be fighting with Liu the Fool for the inheritance.

How could Madam Liu tolerate her?

After taking the last packet of medicine, the child was lost, and she returned to her parents' home with her belongings.

Liu Fugui lay on the bed, yelling angrily.

Her family planned to sell her again, so she had no choice but to flee with the money.

Liu Yuniang and her daughter, carrying needles and thread, returned to Jiang Miaomiao's house.

He enthusiastically shared gossip about the Liu family with Lu Qingyao.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard? Liu Fugui is really finished this time. He suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed. He needs to be served food and water. Madam Liu has endured so much for so many years, and now she can finally turn her life around..."

"But ever since that landlord Liu became paralyzed, the Liu family has been in complete chaos. One minute the chickens are gone, the next the cows are gone..."

"It seems Madam Liu isn't good at managing a household!" Lu Qingyao sighed.

If he were truly capable, he wouldn't have endured so much for so many years.

......

The door creaked open a crack; Jiang Miaomiao's door wasn't closed properly.

Lu Qingyao turned her head and saw a thin woman standing in front of the door.

Liu Yuniang looked embarrassed and stammered, "Madam Liu... what brings you here?"

The woman looked at Lu Qingyao with a gentle expression, "Madam Jiang, may I come in?"

"Of course, please come in." Lu Qingyao smiled.

She had never met Madam Liu, yet she guessed it at a glance.

Although he didn't know why she wanted to see him, he couldn't very well turn her away.

However, I still felt somewhat guilty.

"Does Madam Liu have something to discuss with me?"

Madam Zhang pursed her lips and had a maid bring out two bolts of cloth, which she handed to Lu Qingyao and Liu Yuniang.

The two pieces are of excellent quality, made of Shu brocade.

“No reward without merit, what does Madam mean by this?” Lu Qingyao did not respond.

Looking at the delicate, smooth, and shimmering fabric, Liu Yuniang was captivated.

She had never seen such fine fabric in her life.

Seeing that Lu Qingyao didn't answer, she didn't answer either.

"Yes, we cannot accept rewards without merit..."
