Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Zhang's understanding of distributing wealth to avert disaster.

It was simply a matter of giving the county magistrate more silver and asking him to help catch the bandits.

Alternatively, he could cultivate relationships with landlords and gentry in nearby villages and towns. After all, Liu Fugui had so many daughters; once they married out, they would surely be of some use.

If one doesn't work out, send another...

"Madam Jiang, could you please offer some guidance?"

"Madam Liu, what your husband owes will eventually have to be repaid, sooner or later. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you can't hold onto your wealth, but you insist on holding on to it, who knows if it might become your death warrant..."

"Now that a breach has been made, the further it goes, the more uncontrollable it will become..."

Lu Qingyao had said all she needed to say; she didn't believe Zhang hadn't understood.

Zhang lowered her eyes and pondered.

They originally thought that with Liu Fugui gone, the Liu family business would fall into the hands of them, mother and son.

Unexpectedly, one day, this readily available wealth turned into a hot potato.

They had tried every means to hope that Liu Fugui would die, but he really became a living dead.

But she was left to clean up the mess.

Is it a waste of talent?

She couldn't bear it.

She endured so much for so many years, all to find a way for her mentally challenged son and daughter to survive.

May they have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

She bit her lip and said nothing more.

She nodded slightly to Lu Qingyao, "Thank you for the reminder, Madam Jiang. I know what to do now."

After hesitating for a moment, he took the two bolts of brocade from the maid and personally carried them to Lu Qingyao and Liu Yuniang.

"Please accept these two bolts of cloth, ladies. Consider them a token of gratitude for Madam Jiang's guidance today."

Liu Yuniang looked at the cloth, then at Lu Qingyao.

Her sister-in-law has always been decisive; she only dared to accept things after her sister-in-law accepted them.

Lu Qingyao looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled helplessly.

Without even looking up, he said softly, "Just put it there!"

Zhang was puzzled by her sudden change of attitude, but without giving it much thought, she led her maid away.

Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother with curiosity, which was unlike her usual behavior.

It's clear that Mother doesn't like this piece of cloth.

He didn't like this Mrs. Liu either.

But why should I accept her things?

Or perhaps you're planning to exchange it for money?

Never mind, might as well take it...

Liu Yuniang smiled broadly, wiped her hands, and then gently stroked the delicate and smooth brocade.

I'm so afraid of getting it dirty or scratched!

Liu Fugui swindled her family out of a lot of fertile land and almost ruined Qiao Jie'er's reputation.

She accepted the brocade with a clear conscience.

"Sister-in-law, what style of dress do you plan to make with this brocade? I want to make a dress for everyone in the family."

Lu Qingyao looked at Liu Yuniang with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, this is Shu brocade, produced in Shu (Sichuan). It's a rare item even among high-ranking officials and nobles. A single piece of Shu brocade is worth twenty or thirty taels of silver..."

"what?"

Liu Yuniang jumped up abruptly, quickly withdrew her hand, and looked on incredulously, "A bolt of cloth is worth thirty taels of silver!!"

As a former embroiderer, she had heard of Shu brocade, but had never seen it.

I never expected it to be so expensive.

Jiang Miaomiao was so scared that she peed herself...

Her aunt's behavior is so exaggerated; she always manages to scare away the birds outside.

If it is indeed Shu brocade, then it is quite precious.

But the moment my aunt finished making the clothes and wore them out, I'm afraid the house would be burgled.

Liu Yuniang lowered her voice, as if she had done something wrong, "Sister-in-law, do you think Madam Liu might be as clueless as I am, and give us the wrong fabric, and then come back to ask for it back?"

She couldn't understand how Madam Liu could bear to part with such precious fabric.

She still didn't believe it.

"That's possible." Lu Qingyao smiled at her.

Jiang Miaomiao thought her aunt was kind of silly and cute.

Judging from the Shu brocade that Madam Liu was wearing, her Liu family owned the largest cloth shop in Qing Shi Town.

No matter how expensive, the shop still has a few bolts of Shu brocade.

How could she possibly admit her mistake?

However, why would Zhang send such an expensive Shu brocade?

She doesn't seem like that kind of generous person.

Jiang Miaomiao couldn't understand it.

Liu Yuniang got up and paced around the room, muttering to herself, "What should we do? Sister-in-law, maybe we should hide the Shu brocade so she can't find it."

“Well, that’s a great idea!”

Lu Qingyao agreed as she changed Jiang Miaomiao's diaper.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yuniang changed her mind again.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we exchange it for money? This is a whopping thirty taels of silver!"

Jiang Miaomiao fell asleep in her mother's arms, listening to her aunt's loud and boisterous voice.

They still had a pacifier in their mouths.

The birds were unusually quiet today, and it was already dark when Xiao Miaomiao woke up again.

She lay in her older brother's arms.

She turned her little head and looked around; her mother must not be home.

It's so late, where could Mother go?

Seeing the oil stains on the older brother's chin, you could tell they had eaten.

But she was still hungry.

She pouted at her brother, wanting to eat...want to eat...

"Miaomiao, be good. Mommy will be back in a little while. Drink some goat milk first."

The little one danced with joy as her second brother warmed up some goat milk for her.

I'm about to fall asleep while I'm eating.

It felt like something was whispering in her ear.

When they opened their eyes, chirping birds were circling above their heads, finally settling on the green bamboo.

It chirped.

Many people came to Liu Fugui's house... many soldiers...

[They've quietly hidden themselves away...]

Jiang Miaomiao was completely confused.

Liu Fugui's family was hiding government soldiers.

Are they catching a thief?

It seems that Madam Liu invited the government officials and soldiers.

Jiang Miaomiao felt it had nothing to do with her family, so she didn't think much of it.

She fell into a deep sleep again.

Chenshi.

It's daybreak.

As soon as Jiang Miaomiao opened her eyes, she was lying in her mother's arms again.

Her mother said that children are prone to catching a cold if they sleep alone, so her mother tied her to her arms.

Once it wakes up, put it in the cradle to sunbathe.

Whenever the sun is out, you should bask in it.

There were many birds in the peach tree today, and the discussion got quite heated.

Fortunately, Jiang Ziyan wasn't studying, otherwise it would have definitely disturbed him.

Jiang Miaomiao listened intently.

Around four or five in the morning, the two thieves broke into the Liu family's house...

It seems he was caught stealing cloth.

That fabric is so beautiful.....

Suddenly, several more birds flew in.

[Hurry, Liu the landlord's wife is leading soldiers this way...]

Jiang Miaomiao was startled as she watched the flock of birds suddenly fly away from the peach tree.

Recalling what the bird had just said, she wondered why the soldiers had come to her house.

My little head feels a bit too small for it.

Shu brocade...

It must be those two bolts of Shu brocade from yesterday that caused the trouble.

Jiang Miaomiao babbled and stretched out her little hands, wanting her second brother to hold her.

Jiang Ziyan carried her around the house and yard for a while before Jiang Miaomiao finally stopped.

She obediently lay back in the cradle.

She didn't see the Shu brocade.

I don't know if my mother hid it or sold it for money.

Jiang Miaomiao's face scrunched up in worry.

The door was ajar, and she could already hear footsteps not far away.

Getting closer.

So many people...
