The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

“Dad, the workshop is hiring, and the village chief has removed our names from the list. Tell me, what's wrong with us? Why is he doing this?”

Last time we went to Xiaoning for the selection, and we just registered our names. We're going to the workshop for the second round of interviews tomorrow, but our names weren't on the list. What's the reason for this?

Even if he's the village chief, he can't just do whatever he wants, right? We have a good relationship with Xiaoning now; she can't possibly not vote for us.

Old Fang pondered. Although their relationship with Xiao Ning had improved somewhat, he didn't feel they were really that close.

If so, his two daughters-in-law wouldn't need any selection process; they could just be brought into the workshop. His two sons could also work there as managers.

But she did help with the fourth son's matter. The old man couldn't shake the feeling that this granddaughter was so difficult to get along with.

"Dad, let's go find Xiaoning and tell her directly that we can come in and work, okay?"

The two sisters-in-law were convinced that the village chief was behind this. Not only did their whole family work in the workshop, but this time he had also arranged for his daughter-in-law to work there. They didn't know how much the family's wages would be each month, and many people in the village were talking about it.

"Your matters can wait." The old man's intuition told him it was Xiao Ning's idea. The village chief was earning money from her, and he was definitely choosing people according to her wishes. Right now, the fourth son was still inside and hadn't come out yet. He could tell what was more important. He couldn't offend his eldest granddaughter over such trivial matters. If he angered her and she abandoned the fourth son, he would really be in tears.

Fang Lao Er's wife was furious. She was almost frantic with worry, and her father-in-law was still trying to dodge her questions. How could she accept that?! "Dad, we can't wait any longer. The interviews and final selections will be tomorrow."

"Second brother's family, isn't it obvious? Xiao Ning doesn't need you. Do you think the village chief would cross your names off without her permission? Didn't she leave it as is last time, letting her make the final decision?"

"Didn't we make up with her?"

The old man sighed, "This might just be wishful thinking on our part. She's willing to help the fourth son probably because she's afraid her father and brother will get involved. As for us, judging from the situation, she's still planning to stay out of the picture."

The two daughters-in-law were utterly disheartened after hearing this. What could they do? They couldn't get involved with that group; they weren't, and their lives would continue to be miserable.

No, I need to have a serious talk with the head of the household about this tonight, and figure out what to do.

If they don't work, they won't have any money and won't be able to save any money for themselves. At the same time, they also resent Fang Xiaoning's heartlessness; they are clearly close relatives, yet Fang Xiaoning doesn't give them any advantage.

Cui Hehua has been living a very comfortable life lately. With Wang Defa away and no one at home keeping an eye on her, she's completely letting loose, taking turns hooking up with the two men in the village. She's living more carefree than an emperor.

Meanwhile, she also took some time to go back to her parents' home and instigate them to cause trouble at the Wang family's house. Only with her parents' intervention could she possibly get rid of that family.

The Cui family hesitated. To be honest, they really didn't want to get involved in their daughter's troubles. After all, she was a member of the Wang family; once the trouble was over, it was none of their business, good or bad.

Seeing that they were unmoved, Cui Hehua retaliated fiercely, "Father, think about it, you have a son-in-law who is bound by the law, who would want to marry their daughter into our family in the future? Besides, if I get divorced, you can receive another dowry if I remarry in the future, right?"

Cui Daniu said bluntly, "When you got married for the first time, the Wang family only gave you a few dozen coins. Now that you're secondhand, how much are you worth?"

Cui Hehua was speechless.

She never told her family about the widower's promise to give them money. She always thought that if they divorced, the widower's money would be hers, and she would save as much as she could.

"Dad, will this really affect our son's chances of finding a wife?" Even the biggest issue concerning their daughter is less important than their son; they absolutely cannot let her affect him.

"Probably. Wang Defa is a son of a bitch. Ever since he got married, he's never been involved in any good things, but he always drags us down with him when something bad happens."

"Who says it isn't?"

Seeing her parents' attitude, Cui Hehua always felt uneasy.

Cui Daniu looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more she seemed like a money-loser. After a long while, he said, "Hehua, don't blame your parents for being heartless. Here's what we'll do: we'll find a way to get you a divorce from Wang Defa, but you must promise us that after the divorce, you'll sever all ties with us." Having a divorced daughter would also affect their son's marriage prospects.

Cui Hehua was overjoyed to find that their request was this. In an instant, she was rid of two burdens, and the widower knew he would be just as happy as she was.

She couldn't let her parents know how happy she was. She wiped away her tears and looked at them with feigned bitterness, saying, "If you kick me out, what will I do? Without my family, I'm just a rootless duckweed."
