The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

“But daughter, 80 coins is too much. I’m just going to help out, and I can’t work all day. I can’t take this money; it would be against my conscience. How about you give me 5 coins a day?”

My daughter is really something, 80 coins, that scared her to death.

"Mother, this is what our whole family wants. Please don't refuse. Think about it, if I hadn't gotten married, wouldn't all the money I earn be in your care? Because your daughter is well-educated and I'm capable, this money is my filial piety gift to you. Except for the one in the house."

Zhao couldn't help but laugh. Ever since her daughter fell into the water, she had been particularly annoyed with her father. Before, she would ignore him and stay at the Wang family's house every day. Later, she would argue with the head of the household whenever she saw him.

"How about 10 coins? 80 coins is really too much." She felt embarrassed, as she had taken too much advantage.

Fang Xiaoning: ...

"Mom, it's settled then. Remember to go tomorrow. Grandma is waiting for you at home. Come home early to cook lunch."

She was so tired; this kind of tugging could go on all day. Anyway, she could keep working, and the money would just be paid later.

Looking at her daughter waving goodbye, she felt a mix of emotions. Sigh, was the Song family really willing to let their daughter support them so much?

"we have a deal?"

"Come over tomorrow and say you only need ten coins."

"How can this be done?"

"Just give them the money when the time comes. It's hard to explain now. I'm going to sleep."

Song Feng nodded. 80 coins was a bit scary, and it was normal for his mother-in-law not to accept it.

"You do not sleep?"

"I've ground the soybeans; I need to go to the fields later."

Okay, this man is like an ox, he never stops.

"Mom, when she comes, what should we do? Tell her we're leaving now!"

"Slow down on the road."

They added jelly noodles today, but they were worried it would affect the sales of cold noodles, so they reduced the portion by a third. People love novelty, you know. I brought two buckets of herbal tea today. I didn't expect the townspeople to love it so much. Even though it's only one penny a bowl, aside from the cost of the cucumbers, everything else is free profit.

Huge profits! Absolutely huge profits!

Zhao was apprehensive when she visited the Song family. Her daughter was very stubborn these days, and she couldn't persuade her at all. She was also a little afraid to meet the Song family; she felt insecure.

"Mother-in-law, you're here!"

"Hey, you're here! Xiao Ning asked me to come and help yesterday." Zhao was a little flustered.

Su was initially very nervous, but seeing her like this, she became less nervous.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

"Eat." She glanced at Xiao An, who was sitting by the door making bowls. Look, look, other people's kids. Where is her kid? After Gou Dan finishes working in the fields, he's never home. When he comes home at night, she gets a beating.

Before they even entered the house, there was another commotion at the door, and Su sighed inwardly. These people were coming earlier and earlier, practically living at her house every day; how was she supposed to get any work done?

"Oh, Xiao Ning's mother, you're here too!" You're not here to learn like them, are you?

"Hmm." Zhao smiled weakly. What were these people doing here?

"I'm sorry, things were a bit busy at home today, and my mother-in-law was there too, so I..."

"You go about your business, just let me know if you need any help, and we'll lend a hand."

Su Shi: ...

"I don't have much to do, I just want to have a chat with my mother-in-law alone."

Several women who had come together were somewhat unhappy. Alone? What's wrong with that? Can't they chat when they're together? They used to think this Su was a good person, with a gentle nature. But these past few days, they've discovered that she's really difficult to deal with. No matter what you say, she won't listen to you, and if you want to ask her anything, she'll say she doesn't know.

She said she didn't know about the cold noodles at her house? What a load of rubbish!

They look stupid, but they're actually incredibly shrewd.

“Yes, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen my in-laws. I’d like to have a good chat with them. My dear sisters, shall we talk again next time?” Zhao noticed the displeasure in Su’s eyes and could tell that these people had probably come quite often.

It's all for the cold noodles, these people, really...

Don't they even consider that if they have a way to make money, would they teach it?

"Alright, you guys chat." Another day of getting nowhere. The group kept turning back to look at them. They glanced at Song An at the door; he was like a block of wood, answering every question.

"My dear in-law, have some water."

Zhao had no appetite for water; her daughter's search for someone meant there was definitely a lot of work to be done.

"I'm not thirsty, let's not stand on ceremony, let's get to work!" The two women smiled at each other.

"Father-in-law, this is the dough that Xiao Ning and the others prepared before they left this morning. We've washed it, and we'll steam it this afternoon." They each took one of the two basins.

“Hey, you do it once, and I’ll follow along.”

"Sit down and wash it; this is a slow process, you can't rush it."

"Ai!"

At noon, Su invited Zhao to stay for lunch, but she declined; there were still three mouths to feed at home! Why should she accept? When she left, Fang Xiaoning hadn't returned home yet. However, making liangpi (cold skin noodles) was easier than she had imagined; washing the dough for half a day was easier than she had at home.

In the afternoon, knowing they would take a lunch break, she didn't go too early. When she arrived, the two women, mother and daughter-in-law, were steaming cold noodles. Seeing them working together, chatting and laughing, Zhao felt even more at ease.

The only thing the husband had ever done in his life was find the right husband for his daughter, even though his original intention was to get rid of her. After spending half a day with her that morning, she knew that Madam Su was easy to talk to, had a gentle and mild temperament, and always agreed with whatever others said.

"mother!"

"Hey, I'll do it. Song Feng's mother, you go and rest for a while."

It's really tough on her, having such poor health and still helping with chores every day.

"I'm not tired, you can sit down for a while, this is an easy job."

Seeing them like this, Fang Xiaoning offered to give up her pot, and the two of them each took their own and steamed the jelly slowly. She used a clay pot to make the mung bean jelly.

Today is the first day of selling liangfen (cold mung bean jelly), and everyone is excited about the novelty, so it's selling exceptionally well. We can make more, but seventy or eighty sheets of liangpi (cold skin noodles) should be enough. Of course, she prefers liangfen to sell, since the selling price is the same, but the cost is much different; liangfen is truly a high-profit business.

Moreover, jelly is easier to make; it can be hung on the edge of a well and left for two days without any problem.

That evening, when Zhao left, Fang Xiaoning prepared a bowl of the mixture for her to take home.

"Do you want me to come with you? What if he eats you up?"

Zhao was very embarrassed. What a brat! Why did he say such nonsense in front of his in-laws?
