The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 189 How much did it actually cost?

Looking at Fang Xiaoning, Zhao really looked at her like she was a spendthrift. She couldn't understand why her daughter was so troublesome these days.

"It's not that we're complaining, it's just that it's too small and not enough room."

"How can it not be enough? How many people are in your family? A dozen rooms aren't enough?"

"Mom, when I earn money in the future, I will definitely hire people to take care of me. I want to buy people, cooks, cleaners, doormen, and servants. Oh, right, I also want to buy a few people to watch the warehouse and manage the accounts. I feel more at ease using my own people."

Zhao was stunned. As a farmer who had spent her whole life in the industry, she never imagined that her daughter would want to buy someone.

"You want to be a landlord's wife?"

Fang Xiaoning looked at her amusedly, "My family owns two acres of land. Do you think I can be a landlord's wife?"

Zhao tried to persuade her earnestly, "No, why buy so many people? Xiao Ning, if you have money, it's more practical to buy land."

"Mom, I have no interest in land, and I especially dislike farming. My ambition is probably the same as Dad's: to have everything done for me, with someone doing all the work for me, eating and drinking well every day, and going out for leisure whenever I have free time."

Zhao:......

That damn Fang Youcai, he has such a huge influence on my daughter!

“Xiao Ning, you should only say these things to your mother in private today. Don’t say them in front of your mother-in-law and Feng Zi. You can’t be a lazy woman. If word gets out, people will talk about you. Your reputation will be completely ruined.”

Fang Xiaoning winked at her, "I talked to Brother Feng about this last night. I also said we should continue building houses. The front will be for the servants, and the back will be for us. We'll also build a big garden and plant fruit trees."

Zhao felt dizzy and her vision blurred. "Oh no," she thought, "what will my son-in-law think of my daughter?"

What did the son-in-law say?

"He didn't say anything, just that he should focus on making money." She thought it was good that he had this awareness.

"You really married the right person; your son-in-law is a good man."

"So, Mother, you must build big and many houses, so you won't regret it later. Our family's land is not small. Go back and plan it out with Father. Build as big as you can."

"I'm not buying any servants, so why build such a big one?"

"Who says you don't need someone to serve you? When I have money in the future, I'll buy you a nanny too. Someone will help you walk, someone will serve you food, and someone will massage your back when you're tired."

But just shut up!

"Alright, alright, didn't you say you'd teach me how to make desserts?" Walls have ears; we can't stay outside any longer. That brat, why is she so troublesome? It's all the head of the household's fault; she's lazy and greedy, influencing our daughter.

Zhao was so angry she wanted to tear him apart; she was determined to give him a good talking-to when she got home.

"Tomorrow, I'll go back to my parents' house to cook, and I'll also go back for a free meal. Mom, I want to drink your chicken soup."

Looking at her daughter, who was acting coquettishly towards her, Zhao's heart melted. "When you come back tomorrow, I'll make you chicken soup and stewed meat!"

"I don't like stewed meat; I just ate braised meat."

"Alright! You're back. Where's my son-in-law? Can he manage?"

"How far is it? I'll have him come over for dinner tomorrow!"

"Good, good, good!" Zhao smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared. She would go back and tidy up the house in a little while.

"Mom, once we make money, we'll build a bigger house. Dog Egg's all grown up; he'll be getting married in a few years. Then all the grandchildren will be born, where will they live, right?"

Thinking of the soft, fluffy little dumpling, Zhao's heart softened even more. "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to everything you say!" Zhao pulled her a few steps further away. "Xiao Ning, I've saved forty taels of silver now. Do you think that's enough to build a house? Tell your mother the truth, how much has your family actually spent to get to where it is now?"

"About fifty taels including furniture. Mother, I think you should prepare at least one hundred taels."

"So much?" Zhao gasped. How could she have earned another sixty taels in such a short time? She thought she had enough.

"Yes, we should build more and bigger ones, and also build connecting corridors and firewalls, then we'll be able to go back. But if we build them well and can live there for a hundred years, it will be worth it."

"How about we cover less first?"

"Get it done in one go and save yourself the trouble. Seriously, trust me, you won't go wrong."

Okay, I'll listen to my daughter. She'll keep working hard to earn money.

But money is hard to earn; it's not something she can just have whenever she wants.

"Girl, you're building so many houses, and you need to buy so much sausage and cured meat every day. Do you have enough money?"

"Oh, the restaurant paid in advance, I'll pay on credit."

So, you've already bought on credit, and you're still thinking about buying people, expanding your house, and becoming a local housewife?

Good heavens, my daughter really looks like her father! Even the usually carefree girl wants to cry.
