The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

"Mom, I want to go to the county town."

"What's wrong?" Madam Song glared at her. After a few days of peace, you're back again, aren't you? The sky has fallen over the family, and all you want to do is cause trouble.

"I want to go see Brother Fa and see if I can send him some food and clothes. It's been so many days, and I don't know how he's doing inside."

"You don't need to worry about this. Just stay home and keep the house tidy," the old man said slowly.

The eldest son has been to the county town three or four times, but he won't let anyone see him. What can a woman like her do there?

Cui Hehua pursed her lips. Her period hadn't come yet, and she was panicking. She wanted to find a doctor, but she couldn't leave the house.

The county town was safer than the town; she didn't know anyone there.

But they wouldn't let her go, which worried her terribly. She had been feeling nauseous for the past two days, but she had managed to hold it in and hadn't dared to show it in front of the Wang family.

All signs told her that it was highly likely she was pregnant.

Old Fang waited for several days, but he couldn't bear it any longer. Now, every day feels like an eternity to him.

He shamelessly begged Fang Xiaoning again.

This time, Fang Xiaoning readily agreed and didn't make excuses, because she really did need to go to the county town to look at houses. "Grandpa, I'll go to the county town tomorrow to inquire again."

The old man's eyes immediately welled up with tears upon hearing this; he was deeply moved. He hadn't expected his eldest granddaughter to agree so readily. She was still thinking of him and them—no wonder people say that even broken bones are still connected by tendons; it's absolutely true! He had mistreated her before.

Fang Xiaoning: ...She just happened to be there, please don't be touched, and don't come looking for her again, okay?

Wiping away her tears, Fang Xiaoning saw her out of the courtyard.

Fang Xiaoning and Song Feng looked at each other, neither knowing what to say.

The next day, they returned to the county town. They told their families that they wanted to look at shops and houses, and that they might not be able to return that day, so they would stay overnight in the county town.

As for her son's breast milk, it was goat milk. If he really wouldn't drink it, she found a woman in the village who had just given birth and asked her to help feed him a few times.

As soon as Fang Xiaoning left the village, the news spread throughout the village that she had gone to the county town for Fang Laosi, and that she hadn't been back for a day because of Fang Laosi's affairs.

"These people are really bored and have nothing better to do. If my daughter hadn't told us beforehand, I would have believed them too. Do they really think they can go to the county town just for the fourth son? How shameless can they be?" Fang Youcai was very dissatisfied and grumbled to Zhao Shi at home.

"Why bother with them? Just because our daughter has worked for the Fang family? Fourth brother is definitely saved. Didn't the teacher say that if he goes to jail, it will have a big impact on Tiezhu and Gou Dan?"

Fang Youcai was still very unhappy. Why should he be allowed to influence his son? He vowed to sever all ties with him once he returned. Anyone who dared to affect his son's future would be cut off from his family.

"Damn it, how about we cut ties with the fourth brother when he comes back? I think he's a leopard that can't change its spots, he's not going to get any better."

Break off the relationship?

The head of the household actually has this idea?

"He's still your own brother, after all."

“Our Xiaoning’s business is expanding more and more, and he’ll definitely go further and further in the future. What if our son turns out to be an educated one? What if our fourth son uses his uncle’s name to do evil everywhere? Should we do something about it or not? What if he’s confused and does something outrageous, like this time, buying exam questions, and our whole family gets implicated?”

That's true, but the key question is whether Dad will agree to it?

Fang Youcai snorted coldly, "What you said is right, this is how things should be done."

“You have to agree, whether you like it or not. Don’t worry about it. I already talked to my daughter about it last time, and she agrees with me. Learn from past mistakes, the fourth son must be cut off. What does the old man matter? I’ll go directly to the clan leader. No one dares to offend either our family or my daughter’s family now.”

Who wouldn't want to earn money from their daughter's family? If you want to make money, you have to side with them. Hmph, two-faced, getting the benefits and then acting innocent. They saw what happened to the former Song clan chief.

Is there anyone else in their family who can work in the workshop?

Zhao fell silent. Since it was her daughter's idea, it couldn't be wrong. Her only worry was that her father-in-law would definitely make a scene.

I glanced at Fang Youcai. It seems that my father-in-law has never won a fight against anyone who's in charge of the household over the years.

Zhao was completely relieved. "I'll do as you say."

Fang Youcai raised his chin and declared that he was the head of the household.

After his eldest granddaughter went to the county town, Old Man Fang lost all interest in the autumn harvest. He didn't go to the fields or the threshing floor, but instead paced back and forth in his small courtyard, his pipe never leaving his lips.

He really wanted to go with her, but after several attempts, his eldest granddaughter completely ignored him. He didn't dare to push his luck, lest she push him too far and then give up.

In front of his eldest granddaughter, he can only fawn over her and act subserviently.
