The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

“I think so too. There’s so much firewood inside, we can’t let the house collapse. I’ll go find Uncle Song this afternoon. My father-in-law is here these days too, so I’ll ask him to keep an eye on it. It can be done in a day. Let’s get through this year first, and next year, we can tear it down and rebuild a few rooms to use as a warehouse.” The house has been in bad shape for a long time. He repairs it himself every year, but even so, he still lives in fear during the winter and doesn’t dare to sleep on snowy days.

"Then let's build houses with blue bricks and tiles, they're durable."

The news of Fang Xiaoning's pregnancy spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of Zaoshu Village within a day.

Of course, the first to leak the news was Zhao Shi. She did it on purpose, telling the village chief's wife, who came to deliver the red fruit, that the Wang family had all told her about it. Humph, isn't Wang Defa's daughter Cui Hehua? What's wrong? They've been married for so long, how come her daughter is pregnant first?

She's so smug now, walking around the village with her chin held high. Her daughter is better at making money than the Cui family's, more fertile, does better work, and is even a lucky charm for her husband!

Look at the Song family of three now. They've been through so much hardship for so many years, but the moment her daughter entered the family, the whole household stood up. Now everyone praises her daughter Ning. I've heard that several families regretted being too slow to react and letting the Song family snatch them away.

After years of feeling stifled, she has finally felt more triumphant than ever before in the last few months.

"Don't look at me, I did it on purpose, to infuriate the Wang family."

Fang Xiaoning: ...

"To be honest, I'm still very grateful to the Wang family boy and the Cui family girl. Without their meddling, there wouldn't be a family like Fengzi. In the end, they are our family's benefactors."

Fang Xiaoning: ...

"That's true. If their affair hadn't blown up, we wouldn't have known that I married my daughter off to him and ended up in a living hell. Fengzi is much better; he's capable, filial, and good to Xiaoning."

"Your daughter is the same, filial and capable, much better than my Fengzi."

"Just by looking at Fengzi, you can tell who your in-laws are..."

"........."

"........."

The two started praising each other, and the more they praised each other, the more they felt they had gained something. Fang Xiaoning was also impressed; their self-brainwashing was incredibly successful.

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

"Fa Zi." Upon hearing that Fang Xiaoning was pregnant, Madam Song couldn't sit still. How could their family always be so unlucky? Cui Hehua was a jinx; since she married into the family, nothing good had ever happened.

"Mom, is something the matter?" Wang Defa put down the book in his hand. He planned to go to town tomorrow to find his wealthy classmates.

"Your wife hasn't come back yet?"

"Didn't she go to chop wood?"

“She spends half a day on the mountain every day, carrying a load of firewood. I have no idea what she’s doing up there. Fang Xiaoning used to make three or four round trips in half a day.”

"Can the two of them be compared? Fang Xiaoning is used to doing rough work and she's very strong."

"You talk as if Cui Hehua is some kind of noble lady. We all grew up in the village, aren't we all the same?" Song said disdainfully.

Seeing his mother's mean-spirited expression, Wang Defa had a headache. What had gotten into her this time that made her come to take it out on Hehua?

"Are people gossiping outside again?"

"Fang Xiaoning is pregnant, Defa. What's going on between you and Hehua? Logically speaking, you two are newlyweds, and you were already together before the wedding, so why isn't there any news?" Song Shi has never been very bright, and she says whatever comes to mind.

Wang Defa couldn't stand it anymore. What did he mean they were having an affair before they got married? His mother had no sense of propriety at all. But why did Song Feng have a child before him? How could someone as skinny and bony as him have gotten that bitch Fang Xiaoning pregnant?

"Mother, it must be because you made Hehua do too much work. She's exhausted and that's why she can't conceive easily. You know, she's never been in good health."

Hearing her son's complaints, Song felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. She really wanted to curse Wang Defa, saying he was blind and that Cui Hehua was weak and that the bitch was just being pretentious and pretending to be weak.

"You've seen her carrying firewood home several times, her legs trembling. Your mother and aunts are fine too; they do the heavy work, and Hehua just stays home to cook and do laundry. She's really different from Fang Xiaoning. You want to have a grandson soon, don't you?"

Mrs. Song was speechless. Of course she wanted to have a grandson, otherwise, why would she be nagging like this for so long?
