The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

After Fang Youcai left, everyone returned to their own rooms. The Fang family appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.

The second and third sons' families gathered together again.

"We must separate the family, sir. We must separate the family. Listen to what my eldest brother said. What hope does my fourth brother have?" The second son's wife had wanted to separate the family for a long time. Fang Youcai's words last time had shaken her resolve. This time, she was determined not to continue being a fool.

“That’s right, second brother, did you hear what eldest brother said about us? Fools, suckers! No matter how good or bad the fourth brother is, we won’t get anything out of it. So why support the eldest brother instead of our own kids? They can go to school for a few years and find a job as an accountant in the county town. Wouldn’t that be better than toiling in the fields?”

"Yes, the eldest son is the most shrewd. He has money now, so why won't he support the fourth son even if the fourth son becomes a scholar? It's because he saw through the fact that the fourth son is a heartless ingrate. Look at your parents, we work ourselves to the bone for him, busy with all sorts of things, and has he ever said a good word about us?"

No!

Not only that, he refuses to teach our children a single word, and he flies into a rage if even his books are touched. Is it worth giving everything to a brother like that?

Fang Lao Er had a splitting headache. His elder brother had hit him too hard today, and his parents were probably furious right now.

“My parents won’t allow it. The fourth child is their precious treasure. He has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. If they don’t support him, they will definitely beat me to death.”

The third brother nodded in agreement. If they dared to suggest splitting up the family or say they wouldn't support the fourth brother, they would definitely be dealt with severely.

Coward.

At that moment, both sisters-in-law began to envy Zhao Shi. Such a weak-willed and indecisive person, yet she married a husband who knew how to protect the family and a daughter who was filial to her. Of all the people, she was the luckiest.

“If you don’t want to separate, then you can go live with your father. I’ll take the child back to my parents’ home, or we can just get a divorce and I’ll live with the child. Otherwise, you’ll not only waste your lives, but also make my son waste his life.”

The third son's wife followed closely behind, saying, "If the second sister-in-law gets a divorce, I'll get a divorce too. You should all go with the fourth son and see how good he is to you then, and whether his children will take care of you in your old age."

The Fang brothers were dumbfounded. They had always been indecisive and timid. All their lives, they did whatever their father said outside the home and whatever their wives said in bed.

Now, with the father and wife disagreeing, they've become caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.

"Third brother, what do you think?"

Fang Laosan shrugged, "I definitely can't abandon my wife, and I can't abandon my child either."

"Then abandon our parents."

Everyone:…

“Who told you to abandon your parents and not care about your fourth son? Your eldest brother is right, we are not his parents, why should we support him? If he wants to study, he should earn the money himself. I heard that in some village, someone earned the money himself and passed the imperial examination. Not only did he not become a burden on the family, but he also often gave money to help with household expenses.”

"Are you serious?"

“How could it be fake? Lots of people know about this. Fourth Brother is counting on us. He’s incredibly lazy. If we don’t support him, he can figure out a way to make a living on his own.”

The third son's wife chimed in, "That's right, he's a scholar, and he's better than us peasants at everything. It's just that his parents spoil him too much, they've pampered him to no end. And his wife, even though we're all the same, she doesn't do any work every day, she acts like a princess."

"Yes, think about it. What has he done at home besides reading a book? During the busy autumn harvest and spring planting season, he doesn't even help boil water. We've probably raised an ungrateful child all these years."

"Second brother, what do you suggest? I'll do whatever you say."

Everyone stared at Fang Lao Er, who felt unprecedented pressure. He glanced at his daughter-in-law, who was also staring coldly at him, and a chill ran down his spine. He couldn't remain a bachelor. "We'll split up. Even if we don't, whatever we do in the future, whatever the fourth son does, we can't just keep supporting him like this. If he goes to school, the third son, we'll also send one child from each family to school. If Dad doesn't agree, we'll earn our own money and save it ourselves."

"Alright!" Fang Laosan exclaimed excitedly, "I'll listen to my second brother!"

"After dinner, we'll talk to our parents together."

"Alright! Honey, you all come along too."

There's courage in numbers. They were afraid that if I glared at them, their knees would buckle and they'd... chicken out.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, their eyes filled with disdain and disappointment.

Fang family.

"Dad, the house is being demolished tomorrow. When are we supposed to pack our things?"

Stupid woman, you'll lose your home tomorrow and you're still asking him when he's packing his bags.

"Now, now, right now, let's go to our daughter's house as soon as we're done getting ready."
