The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

"It's alright now, but I'm not feeling well. My second and third sisters-in-law give me the cold shoulder every day, trying to get me to work in the fields. How can I work when I'm pregnant and not getting any good food or drink?"

"I don't work, I just eat for free, and my whole family treats me like dirt. Since you're not here, I'm all alone, living by their whims every day."

Fang Laosi's face turned as black as Bao Gong's. He never expected that his second and third brothers would be so intolerant of his family while he was away; they were simply too heartless.

Fang Laosi's blood boiled. What a fine second and third brother!

"Just lie there and relax. Nobody can make you do what you don't want to do. You didn't have to do it before, and you definitely won't have to do it in the future!"

Having achieved her goal, the woman felt reassured and showered him with concern, expressing her support for his idea. In the family, the only people she truly admired were Fang Laoda and his daughter.

The news of Fang Laosi's return home caused a huge stir.

He's back. What about Wang Defa, who went in a day later than him?

The Wang family also wanted to ask Fang Laosi if he knew about his son's situation and whether he was doing well inside.

Ever since the fourth son's wife returned to the household, she had someone to back her up and stopped pretending to be sick, openly refusing to do any work. Out of a desire to show off, she told two village women she was close to about her family's early return home. Soon, the whole village knew about it. Fang Xiaoning, who had an excellent relationship with the old family and was very close to the fourth son, personally went to the government office to pull strings and get him released early.

Everyone was incredibly envious. The Fang family's old house was truly blessed to have such a wonderful granddaughter. Fang Lao Si was even luckier! It seems the discord between the two families was just talk.

The village was abuzz with rumors about Fang Xiaoning helping Fang Laosi get out of prison early...

Meanwhile, Fang Laosi was trying to persuade the old man to go to Fang Xiaoning and talk to her about whether the punishment could be reduced, so that he could at least continue taking the imperial examinations. It would be even better if he could keep his title of Tongsheng (a student who has passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), since he really wouldn't be able to pass the exams again.

The old man hesitated. Others might think Fang Xiaoning was getting closer to them, but after several interactions, he knew she remained aloof. If she were truly close, she wouldn't have ignored the children of the second and third sons.

Now he's begging her for the sake of the fourth son, but will she agree? Can she really do it? If she can't, then what's the point of begging? If she can, he won't say anything, and the fourth son won't be punished.

After thinking it over, he didn't want to bring it up. He really felt there was no need to go, and it might even make her angry. If anything happened in the future, he would simply ignore it.

"Fourth son, you've just gotten back, and so many eyes are watching you. Let's not rush things," the old man tried to reassure his youngest son.

"How can I not be anxious? Everyone else has gone to school in the county town. If she agrees and gives me some more money, I can go to the county school to continue my studies instead of wasting time at home."

The old man's mouth was full of bitterness. His fourth son was actually thinking that someone would give him money to support his studies. What a pipe dream!

Fang Lao Si was extremely annoyed that his father was ignoring him. "Old man, is he unwilling to help me out?"

Fang Youcai and Fang Xiaoning both heard the news and couldn't help but sneer. They'd seen firsthand what an ingrate was, and what it meant to be ungrateful and insatiable.

"Dad, even a prison sentence hasn't taught Fourth Uncle a lesson. We helped him, but he ended up trying to extort money from us. We'd better not be too polite." Old Fourth Fang is shameless; if he wants to extort money from her, he'll have to see if she'll let him.

Fang Youcai nodded; he was also disgusted by Lao Si's shamelessness. He refused to believe that the village gossip could have spread to this point without someone stirring it up. "You're right. Now that he's back, it's time to get on with what we agreed on."

What's the matter? Of course, it's about severing ties with the fourth brother.

"Let's go to the old house together tomorrow."

"You don't need to go, I'll go."

“Let’s do it together. Make our stance clear: this whole thing started because I helped him twice, which made him have inappropriate thoughts.”

Fang Youcai thought it was fine to go together, since Lao Si wasn't after him, but his daughter. That beast, time and time again, shows no remorse; this man is beyond redemption.

old house.

In the end, Wang Laoda couldn't resist. He shamelessly carried a basket of vegetables grown at home to Lao Fang's house.

With the autumn harvest over and Fang Laosi having been home for over ten days, his son was still nowhere to be seen. He had inquired around and found out that not only his son, but also the others who had been arrested hadn't returned home.
