The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

“My sister said everyone should go! My brother-in-law’s family, Aunt Song’s family, our family, and the village chief’s wife.”

"With so many people, how are we supposed to sit?"

My eldest sister said she'd have Shunzi rent a mule cart tomorrow, so we'd all go to town to buy New Year's goods. Mom, are we going? Is my eldest sister waiting for my reply?

The whole family looked at Zhao Shi with expectant eyes.

Zhao:......

"Go, all of you go. This year, for the New Year, each of you will get a piece of cloth to make a new outfit."

Fang Youcai was pleasantly surprised; besides loving to eat, he also loved to dress up. "Really? Really? Do I have one?"

"All."

"Yes, Mom, I'll go tell Big Sister we're going to town together!" It's unbelievable that they've never even been to town before, and they're already able to go to town to play. Big Sister, you're really awesome!

Gou Dan and Fang Youcai watched Tie Zhu's disappearing figure and laughed in the same silly way.

"Sister-in-law, I guess I won't go to the city?" She didn't have a single penny on her, so what was the point of going?

"Why not go? Go get some clothes for the children, consider it a New Year's gift from your aunt."

"Yes, Auntie, the city is lively during the New Year. It's a rare opportunity for the children to go out and see the world. Let's go together."

Song Chunni felt somewhat embarrassed. She was short of money and could only look but not buy, which made her even more upset.

“Auntie, this is your monthly allowance. I was planning to give it to you along with the village chief's wife when she was still here. Don’t refuse, the children need it, and the family needs it too. It’s the same as the village chief's wife’s salary, so don’t think it’s too little.”

"We're eating and staying here for free, why would we take your money?"

“Aunt, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Only by giving and receiving can a relationship last. Don’t you agree? Please don’t refuse. If you do, you might have to work hard again after the New Year. When I get pregnant, I might need you to help with the housework. How can I ask you to help if you don’t charge me? I don’t trust anyone else either. I can only do it myself.”

"Besides, you may suffer, but what about the children? This is what you deserve, little sister."

Song Chunni thought of her two children and said, "Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you, Xiao Ning. I know you're trying to help me out."

"What are you saying, aunt? This is hard-earned money from your labor. Others who work for my family get paid the same way. I really didn't overcharge you." As he spoke, he stuffed the purse into her arms.

"Mom, Brother Feng, the other families have helped us a lot these past few months. Although we've already paid them wages, I'd like to give them a New Year's gift too. What do you think?" It's normal for companies to give out year-end bonuses and New Year's gifts. A little something can warm people's hearts.

What do you want to give me?

“Five catties of meat for each family, two boxes of our homemade donkey rolls, one catty of fried meatballs, and 60 dumplings. What do you think?” She was giving out dumplings because she knew that the Liu family and her aunt’s family really didn’t have any dumplings to eat during the New Year.

"Fried meatballs?"

"Yes, once we get back from the city, we'll start preparing for the New Year: frying meatballs, rice cakes, and fried dough sticks. Auntie, could you stay a few more days? There's so much to do for the New Year, could you help out for a few more days? You're really just helping out these few days, there's no pay."

She originally wanted to have Song Xiaogu stay for the New Year, but considering her personality, she probably wouldn't agree to stay.

"Sure, sure. There's nothing much going on at home anyway. I can go back two or three days before the New Year to do some cleaning."

"Okay, we'll give it to you as you said. Everyone's tired this winter."

"Mom will be even more tired. Once we get to the city, whatever you like, we'll buy it for you!"

Isn't the point of making money to live a better life? How much can you really spend on food and drinks? After working so hard for so long, she's going to the city the day after tomorrow and she's determined to shop to her heart's content!

Thinking about her income this winter, Fang Xiaoning grinned from ear to ear.

"Brother Feng, when you go to town tomorrow to settle accounts with the shopkeeper, remember to send this basket over as our New Year's gift to him." Inside are two dried chickens she made, five catties of cured meat, as well as sausages and five catties of donkey rolls.

"Hey!" Song Feng was overjoyed. Tomorrow, he could bring home another thirty taels of silver!

In the past, their family dreaded holidays and the Lunar New Year the most. There was nothing in front of the stove.

He's really looking forward to this year's New Year!

Song Xiaogu touched the silver in her pocket, planning to buy some rice, flour, and meat so that she could give the children a good meal for the New Year.

The village chief's house.

Early in the morning, the group of people who were helping to slaughter the pigs arrived and went to the pigsty.

"Village chief, your pig is so fat!"

"Hahaha... I eat a lot every day, no wonder I'm fat!"

Several people rubbed their hands together, ready to catch the pig.

Even the lazy, fat pig sensed danger, grunted and stood up, dodging the approaching intruders' clutches.

"Hey, what a clever fellow. He knows he's going to get ripped off, yet he still tries to hide."

"There's no use hiding now, we're going to eat its flesh today!"
