The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

"Father has just been traumatized; he can't be angry."

The third son's wife got angry, "Then go find your father and go back to your parents' home with the children. Today is such a good opportunity. If we don't seize it, it will be even more difficult to separate the family in the future."

The third son's wife chimed in, "That's right, either we split up, or the fourth son splits up. Husband, strike while the iron is hot, or you'll miss this opportunity."

"us……"

"Forget about us, hurry up! The clan chief and the others must be at your eldest brother's house. If you keep saying no, we'll all go back to our mothers' house, and you two brothers can sleep together in a warm bed."

People like my older brother and sister-in-law can make a decent living outside, so they're sure to do even better.

If only the fourth son is separated, that would be fine too. They would have two fewer people to serve, and they would be much more relaxed and content.

The two brothers looked at each other, their heads aching terribly. They hoped their father would show them some mercy and send the four troublemakers away.

Under his wife's watchful eye, he steeled himself and walked towards the main room. Inside, his father and fourth brother were still chatting.

Old Fang glanced towards the door. "Didn't we say we were going to get to work?"

"Father, we...we...want to discuss something with you."

The old man glared at the two of them with annoyance. What he disliked most about them was their timid and cowardly manner. If anyone in the family was most like him, it would be the eldest unfilial son.

"Speak." The voice was extremely impatient.

They felt wronged, because just now, their father and fourth brother had spoken very gently.

"We...the two of us, we want to separate."

"What?"

"We want to split up."

Fang Youfu squinted. "Is this the end of the day? Everyone's trying to mess with me."

"boom!"

The bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

The old man smashed it.

"Get out of here, everyone!"

The two of them shivered simultaneously, feeling a chill in their hearts. Wasn't their older brother right? The fourth child was the only biological son in the family.

“Dad, we’ve thought this through. Fourth Brother has made our family lose face. We can’t live with someone like that anymore.”

Anyway, he won't be able to take the imperial examinations anymore, and his wife is pregnant and not young anymore; it's time for her to be independent. Back in the day, my older brother separated from the family as soon as he got married.”

“Your fourth brother is different from them.”

"Then let's split up, you and me."

Fang Lao Er stuck out his neck, his face stubborn.

"Why do you want to separate the family after just going out? Did your family say something to each other? If those two troublemakers don't want to live together, they should go back to their parents' home."

“Father, it’s us. We want to separate the family. I want my son and grandson to be able to go to school. I don’t want to give all the money I earn to my fourth brother.”

Dad, we are your sons too. Can't you think about us? We've served him like an ancestor for over twenty years, isn't that enough? Do we have to serve his wife and children too?

Dad, can't the fourth son's wife really get off the bed? Who's the one going out chatting all day? She comes home and acts like she's half-dead. And the fourth son, even after causing such a huge mess, and with us running around trying to help, did he say a single word of apology? Did he say a single word of thanks?

Going home means we're heartless, that we don't care about his children or his wife. We're all from the village. My wife was washing clothes by the river the day she gave birth, and later she was hoeing the fields. After giving birth, she lay in bed for three days and only ate two eggs. My third son's wife is the same; now that it's cold, she can't sleep all night because of back pain.

"Dad, we're husbands and fathers too, and we love our own children. My eldest brother said, 'A tree grows big and branches out,' and I think that's absolutely true. We can't keep acting like fools."

Old Master Fang was speechless for a moment. He admitted his favoritism, and they knew it all too well. In the end, it all came down to the fact that the fourth son had lost all hope, was unwilling to continue suffering losses, and had developed delusions.

Human nature is inherently selfish, and the fourth son's wife is also outrageous. She's been married into the family for so long and has never touched any housework. Even during the busy farming season, she refuses to lend a hand. Not to mention the second and third sons, who are resentful, even he himself would have given up long ago if it were him.

He took advantage of his two honest sons, exploiting their greed.

Originally, both families had been brainwashed by him for decades and lived in peace. Unexpectedly… the eldest son's loose tongue exposed everything about him, and the fourth son also suffered a series of major misfortunes, causing them…

Sigh, I'm afraid the fool will become smart and clear-headed. These things are definitely influenced by the whispers and inquiries from their wives.

"Our eldest son just broke off his engagement today, and our family's reputation is already bad. Let's talk about dividing the family property later, and put it off for now."

The two brothers looked at each other. If it were before, they would have agreed immediately, but now... the ones inside the house refused. If they didn't separate today, it would be the children and the wife who would leave.

Parents, brothers—none of them are as dear as a wife or a child. Especially not with such biased parents and such an ungrateful brother.

"Father, let's do it all together today. The village head and the others are at my eldest brother's house right now. It'll be convenient to do both things at the same time, saving us from troubling them again. You can also save money on a meal. Please!"

Those words really hit home. He's saving money on a single drink; what do they really think of him?

"Second brother, third brother, are you going to be as unfilial as our eldest brother? Do you want to anger our father to death?"

Just as I was about to look at him, my wife said, "The fourth son is all talk and no action. He says the nicest things but does the most despicable things."

“You are the most unfilial person. Your father hoped that you would make something of yourself. He raised you for many years and spent so much money, but it has all gone down the drain. You even did something illegal. In our village, going back three generations, no one has ever done anything illegal or been to jail.”

The second and third brothers weren't Fang Youcai; he had no respect for them whatsoever. When they mocked him, he immediately raised his fist to attack. Fang's second brother's instinctive reaction was to retaliate with a few punches.

"Fourth!"

"Second brother, third brother, stop!"

People outside rushed into the main room!

After a period of chaos and turmoil, the whole family was disheveled, their clothes and hair in disarray, looking quite pathetic.

"Are you going to keep making trouble?"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Father, since things have come to this, please have mercy and separate us out."

Old Fang glanced at his second daughter-in-law and knew immediately that it was those two wretches who had caused this.

Fang Lao Er and Lao San knelt down in the main room with a "thump," not saying a word, the coercion was obvious...

………………

"You're back! How are you? Are you hurt?"

"No, Dad, the village chief and the others are all here. It's all done!" Fang Xiaoning's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Song Feng felt relieved. "Your fourth uncle actually agreed so readily?" This was beyond his expectations. He thought that someone as mercenary as Fang Lao Si would never give up on his father-in-law.

Fang Xiaoning sneered, "He won't give in so easily. I threatened to send him to jail if I kept kissing him. He thinks that if I got him out, I can get him back in too."

I never expected that my fourth uncle would believe it so easily.
