The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Everyone else stared in shock at their father. He was actually selling two acres of land! That much money was enough to build a new house for their family. The two wives of the Wang family were indignant. Why were they always the ones who suffered losses? Just because their eldest son was good at studying, if they were raised like this, who could say that their son would be worse than Wang Defa?

Because of him, his sons couldn't go to school, and when they asked him to teach them a few words in his spare time, he refused.

"Okay, I'll go ask if anyone wants to buy it. You know, it costs twenty taels for two mu at a time, and there aren't many households in the village that can afford that much." Actually, he was a little tempted, but he didn't have the money.

"Thank you for your trouble, Village Chief."

They could have hired a human broker, which would have been quicker, but hiring a human broker would have required paying them a fee. Selling land through the village chief, on the other hand, was a free service.

After the village chief left, someone said, "Dad, why did we sell so much land? Our family has been squandering money like this; we can't afford to lose more!"

"I said, let's get Fa Zi treated first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Wang Lao Er glared at the old man with hatred. Fine, he'd shut up. If the old man couldn't be cured, he'd have to spit out all the money he'd spent on food. It would all be recorded in the accounts when the family divided the property.

After leaving the Wang family's house, the village chief didn't visit anyone else but went straight to Song Feng's. Talking to others would be pointless; last time, they bought one mu of land from another village. Now, with two mu, no one in their village besides Song Feng could afford twenty taels. It's just that Xiao Ning's relationship with Wang Defa is somewhat awkward.

"uncle?"

"Fengzi, I have something to ask you." Fengzi's family doesn't own a single piece of land, only the wasteland he reclaimed himself. Logically, he should be thinking of buying land, right?

Fang Xiaoning brought in a bowl of brown sugar water. "Uncle!"

"Hey, Xiao Ning! Sit down too. It would be best if you called your mother over as well. I have something to discuss." Buying land is a big deal for the family, so he should ask about it all at once.

"Okay, I'll go call Mother."

Once everyone was seated, the village chief cleared his throat. "It's like this," he said, "the Wang family just contacted me, saying they want to sell their land."

Alright, they all understand. They want to buy land from them.

“Your family is doing better now, but you don’t have any money. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on this?”

Fang Xiaoning had absolutely no interest in it. Asking her to work in the fields? Forget it, she'd never do it in her life. Two acres of land—buying it wouldn't really do her any good; she'd work herself to death, and wouldn't earn much money in a year.

Song Feng and Su Shi's eyes lit up at the same time. Buying land! For native farmers, the thing they care about most is having land. Without land, they feel uneasy, always feeling like they'll go hungry.

Upon seeing their reactions, Fang Xiaoning realized that these two were tempted.

"Mom, Brother Feng, our family doesn't have time to farm right now."

Su's bright eyes dimmed; she had forgotten that she was currently too busy with the family business to tend the fields. Song Feng also paused; they were lucky to have time to grow some vegetables, let alone crops.

The village chief wanted them to buy the land—land that could grow crops! It was the old farmer's lifelong dream; who would sell land unless absolutely necessary?

“If you buy it, you can lease it to someone else to grow.”

Fang Xiaoning: ...

You know how to sell.

Song Feng made the decision, "In that case, I'll buy it. Uncle, I'll also buy the wasteland across from my house, planning to build a small courtyard there after the New Year."

Why did you build so many houses?

"We plan to hire a tutor to teach Xiao An to read."

"Holy crap!" The village chief nearly fell off his chair. "My goodness!" he exclaimed. "This kid actually plans to build a small private school for his younger brother!" He glanced at Fang Xiaoning again. "That Fang girl is quite generous," he thought. "If she doesn't agree, it definitely won't work out."

Whether it belongs to the Wang family or not, he can sell or buy whatever he wants; nobody owes anyone anything.

And just like that, the matter was settled amicably.

Old Wang felt a pang of unease, like he'd swallowed a fly, upon learning the land had been sold to the Song family. If he had married Fang Xiaoning back then, his family would never have had to sell land!

The two families didn't even meet, yet the transaction was completed. The village chief will go to the county town to process the land deed in a couple of days.

After finishing his work, Song Feng was finally able to go to Caoduozi Village to pick up his aunt.

"Sister-in-law!"

"It's coming!"

Once the fifteenth of the lunar month was over, she packed her bags. After not seeing him for several days, she felt a little uneasy. Did he not want to use her anymore?

"Something happened in the village and things got delayed. Have you finished cleaning up?"

"Alright, alright, Fifteen is all packed up. I'll go move them out now."
