The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Old Man Song clutched his chest; this time he wasn't faking it, he genuinely felt like he was about to faint from anger.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Fang Youcai stepped forward and pinched his waist hard. He mustn't faint at his son-in-law's house, or he'd be unable to explain himself.

The pain brought Old Man Song to his senses. He looked at Fang Youcai with such hatred that he wanted to skin him alive. His old back was definitely covered in bruises from such a brutal attack.

"Song Feng, are you really just going to stand by and watch Fang Youcai insult me ​​and the Song family like this, without doing anything?"

Song Feng lowered his eyes. "Grandpa, Dad passed away early, and I started taking charge of the family on my own early too. Over the years, no one has taught me right from wrong. I only know who has been good to me and who has helped me. Dad often said that people should remember kindness, and I have always done as he said. I am grateful to my father-in-law for betrothing Xiao Ning to me. He didn't mind that I was poor or that my family was a burden. Xiao Ning is the same. I remember it all in my heart."

Grandpa, Father-in-law, Xiaoning, Mother-in-law, they are all doing well! I hope you won't misunderstand them or hurt them; it would upset your grandson. Sometimes their sudden kindness scares me. It's good that we're getting along the way we were a few years ago, don't you think?

"Are you really so heartless?"

"Grandpa, I'm not the one who's heartless."

He knew exactly what the old man wanted. If he backed down even a step, the old man would retaliate with a step, until finally, he was relentlessly pressing forward. He had long since lost all expectations of the people in the old house; all familial affection had been worn away. Perhaps, he was simply a cold-hearted person by nature.

"I'll send you off!"

"You don't need to take me there, just stay with your good father-in-law."

The old man was humiliated again, refused to stay for a meal, and staggered as he opened the courtyard gate, leaving the small brick courtyard under the watchful eyes of everyone in the yard.

A hunched back view...

Seeing Old Man Song slumped down like a defeated rooster, Fang Youcai was extremely smug. "Hmph, try to fight me! No one has ever beaten me!"

"Daughter, wasn't I good? Want some extra pocket money?" Fang Youcai looked at her with sparkling eyes; she saw only gold in her cheapskate father's eyes…

"Here's twenty coins, don't haggle."

Fang Youcai: ...

"Deal! Have a good lunch!"

"If you keep pulling me along, all we'll get is brown rice soup."

"Really?"

"Really, I thought the old man wanted to stay for dinner."

Fang Youcai: ...

"Go and make some pancakes, white flour ones, quick!"

He stayed here just because of his stutter!

"Mom, let's make some pancakes and stir-fry a couple of dishes."

"Ai!"

Looking at the thin, watery brown rice soup and a boiled cabbage, things she used to eat every day, she now had no appetite at all, and even felt a little disgusted. Su suddenly realized that she had been living a good life for too long, enjoying her daughter-in-law's care every day, and had gradually forgotten the hardships of the past.

It seems I'll still have to eat brown rice soup with cornbread every now and then.

"Have Fengzi bring a few pounds of cotton wool to the house tomorrow."

Fang Xiaoning was taken aback; that stuff really tasted awful, it made her throat hurt. "Okay."

………………

"Dad, what's up?"

The eldest brother scoffed. His second brother was still as stupid as ever. He could tell from the old man's expression that he hadn't succeeded. Even if he had, he wouldn't be home at this hour; he would definitely be eating at the third brother's house.

"Father, let me help you into the house."

"I won't eat lunch; I want to rest."

"Hey, you rest. When you wake up, I'll have Dazhu's mother poach an egg for you."

The old man felt a little better; his eldest son had treated him well.

"Boss, next time you go to the third brother's house, you should first find out if Fang Youcai, that troublemaker, is around."

"Ai!"

Well, Dad has been defeated by that scoundrel again.

I knew it! How could the third son's family be a match for Dad? Sigh, we miscalculated! Fang Youcai, that bastard, it's always because of him. Maybe we should call the second son over another day, put a sack over his head, and give him a good beating!

........................

"Brother Feng, go to the clinic tomorrow and ask a doctor to come and take a look at Mother."

"What's wrong, Mom? Does she look unwell? I didn't notice."

“Mother’s health hasn’t improved at all. I think the medicine is just dragging things out, neither getting better nor worse. You must not have seen a doctor in a very long time. Also, I want a doctor to take a look at Xiao An’s leg. I’m afraid they’ll be reluctant to go to the clinic, especially Xiao An. Ask the shopkeeper tomorrow to find a better doctor to take a look.”

She suspects that the child's leg was broken in the fall and, because it wasn't immobilized, it grew crooked.

"Alright, since we're calling a doctor tomorrow, let's all take a look. You're too thin, and my mother-in-law doesn't look too well either. And Gou Dan, didn't you say he might have some kind of inflammation in his nose, which is why he has two snotty noses?"
