The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

These heartless people.

"Aunt, don't worry about this, I have a way."

"it is good."

After Song Chunni left, Fang Xiaoning discussed the matter with the housekeeper.

When the steward heard that someone had stolen something and taken it out of the workshop, he was immediately frightened and admitted his mistake. "Master, it's all my fault for not keeping a close watch on things."

Fang Xiaoning could understand. With so many goods coming in and out every day, and no surveillance cameras or computers in ancient times, it was normal not to notice if one or two were missing.

This thief steals a little bit each day; he's careful and knows how to make a steady profit.

Fang Xiaoning gave the housekeeper detailed instructions: unless they caught them red-handed, no one would admit to the crime. She didn't know if it was an individual's doing or a group's.

"Recently, have someone keep a close eye on the woodshed. If someone takes it, don't rush to arrest them. Wait a few more days to see if it was done by one person or multiple people."

"Yes."

After explaining the situation at the workshop, she went to see the Su family again.

"Mom, I'm going back to my parents' house this afternoon. I noticed you didn't look too well the other day. If you have too many orders, I'll advise you to hire another person. You mustn't overwork yourself."

"Go ahead and tell your mother-in-law that money can never be earned enough, but your health is the most important thing."

Fang Xiaoning smiled and agreed. It's been a while since she had advised others; now she's the one advising others.

Fang family.

When she got home, she was terrified to see Zhao lying on the bed. "Mother! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I...I..." Zhao stammered, unable to give a coherent answer for a long time, which made Fang Xiaoning extremely anxious.

Fang Youcai opened the door, carrying some kind of soup in his hand. "Girl, you've come at the right time. Come with me to the county town tomorrow and buy three more people." He planned to buy two old women and a strong man.

"What's wrong? Tell me already, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Fang Xiaoning stamped her foot anxiously. "Mom, when did you start lying down in broad daylight? And when I came in, she didn't look too good either."

Fang Youcai scratched his head, chuckled a few times, and said with a smug look in his eyes, "Well... you're going to have a younger brother or sister again."

He always said that with such diligent cultivation, even barren land can sprout something. And look, he got a wife!

Hahaha... He's still going strong despite his old age.

what!

a bolt from the blue.

The frying made Fang Xiaoning feel a little dizzy.

Zhao, even more embarrassed, clutched the quilt tightly and pulled it up, trying to cover her face.

huh huh...

It's so embarrassing! She's so old, she already has a grandson, and she can still get pregnant. Won't her daughter think she's indecent?

So it turns out I'm pregnant! Wow, Dad!

"Congratulations, Dad and Mom!"

Thinking about my parents' children and my own children getting together in the future, I wonder if they'll even be able to figure out their generational differences. It makes me chuckle a little. My mother isn't old enough to have children.

"Mom, now that you're pregnant, take good care of yourself and don't do any work. Tomorrow, we'll go buy someone." Considering her age, she's definitely considered an older mother, so we have to be extremely careful. The medical conditions here are really terrible.

I'm going to the county town tomorrow to buy a good ginseng root to keep at home for when I give birth. I also need to buy some other tonics.

"Why are you so delicate? I was working on the day you were born."

Fang Xiaoning looked at her disapprovingly, "You said it yourself, it was in the past. You were younger then, and your constitution was better. Mom, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you need to know your own age. You have to be extra careful with this pregnancy."

Then she looked up at the person who started it all, "Dad, after this child is born, I advise you not to let Mom have any more. You know how much she suffered and how much her health deteriorated in the early years."

Fang Youcai felt a chill and came to his senses, remembering that the doctor had said the same thing yesterday.

"I understand. This is the last pregnancy. I don't want any more in the future."

Zhao touched her belly. Apart from Xiao Ning who had bumped into her today, none of the other children in the family knew. She was too ashamed to say anything. One child was already so embarrassing; how could she possibly have another?

"Mom, just rest and take care of yourself. Don't worry, everything will be alright. Don't stay in bed all the time, move around more often, just don't overexert yourself."

"Oh, your father will definitely not allow me to get out of bed."

"Dad is worried about you. A couple of days ago, I noticed you didn't look well and I was concerned. What did the doctor say? Did it affect the baby?"

"No, they just told me not to overwork myself and to eat well."

That's generally what the village doctor says.

While Zhao lay down, Fang Youcai went to work overtime to make snacks. The mother and daughter sat together and chatted about many intimate things.

"We're going to the county town tomorrow. It's so cold outside. If there's anything urgent, just let Fengzi go. Don't go out and suffer."

Fang Xiaoning glanced at the servants attending to her mother-in-law. Hmm, her mother needed to buy one too. She pulled her mother-in-law into her room, acting mysteriously, like a thief.

"Mother, my mother is pregnant."

Startled, Ms. Su jumped up from her chair. "What did you say?"

Fang Xiaoning nodded, "I'm going to have a younger brother or sister soon."

Mrs. Su patted her chest. "Wow, my mother-in-law is so amazing!" No, it's my father-in-law who's amazing!

Su's face also turned red with shame.

"I want to go to the county town to pick out a few more workers. After all, my mother is getting old, so we have to be careful. She can't do any more work. I'll also go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to help her recover."

After thinking about it, Su realized that Song Feng was not as reliable as Xiao Ning in this matter.

"Okay, go ahead. The roads are slippery in the snow. Shunzi and the others will take you there tomorrow; they're experienced drivers. Fengzi can come along too. If you're in a rush, you can stay overnight. Just don't drive at night. Don't worry about the kids; leave them to me."

"Oh! Thank you, Mother. As for your pregnancy..." It's not yet three months along, so we can't announce it. Besides, her mother is shy, and she's afraid that after spring, she won't dare to go out with such a big belly.

My dad is a really complicated person. He looks so smug, like he wants to shout it out to the whole village.

Oh, what a headache!

It would be best to find a woman who knows a little about medicine to take care of my mother.

That evening, when Song Feng heard the news, he was speechless and couldn't help but want to give his father-in-law a thumbs up. There were some things only his father-in-law could do.

"The steward said the workshop was robbed?"

"I'm not sure, but I'd guess so. My aunt has felt several times that there's not enough sausage."

"Some people are really restless."

"Actually, it's much better than I thought." It's only human nature to embezzle money, especially with so much meat stored in the house, and to have a sense of complacency.

However, no matter who it is, once caught, she will no longer be able to use it.

The severity of the punishment will be determined later, depending on how much the other party actually stole.

The next day, after settling into his home, Fang Youcai went to the county town with them.

Shunzi drove the cart. The county town was far away, and he was the one who drove both ways. They gave him the sheepskin cloak and wrapped him in two cotton quilts.

Inside the car, Fang Youcai originally wanted to brag to his son-in-law about how amazing he was, but after receiving two sharp looks from his daughter, he wisely ate sunflower seeds the whole way.
