The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Fang Youcai ran incredibly fast on his way home. "Hey, Mr. Fang, there's a dog chasing you!"

The villagers couldn't help but tease him when they saw him like this.

Fang Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was scarier than being chased by a dog! The old man was terrifying; how could he be so carefree?

From now on, he'll avoid the old house whenever possible. Those four good-for-nothing sons, why would they bother cheating? As long as he can pass the exam, the old man won't bother with him no matter what.

What a terrible thing to do!

He has such a tragic life!

Zhou family.

The old widower stared at Cui Hehua, his eyes bloodshot. "Did you already know what he did? Why didn't you say anything? Were you trying to cover for him? Were you two having an affair behind my back?"

"My dear husband, you have to have a conscience. I admit I've let the Wang family down, but I haven't wronged you in any way. Don't you know whether I've tried to live a good life with you all these years?"

I did suspect the Wang family, but I had no evidence. What am I supposed to say? Just accuse them of arson? Why? We've been divorced for years and everything's been peaceful. Why would they suddenly start a fire now?

"You're asking me? How am I supposed to answer you? You really didn't have an affair with him?"

Cui Hehua twisted her neck and raised her hand, "If I were to get involved with him even slightly, I'd be doomed."

The old widower believed her. He wasn't a fool like Wang Defa; he knew perfectly well whether his woman had been touched by another man.

"Damn it, if nothing happened, why did he set fire to my house? Was he bored out of his mind? Fuck him."

Cui Hehua was also completely baffled; this problem had been troubling her for a very long time.

"Could it be that they found out about what happened between us before?"

The old widower didn't believe it. "How did you find out all these years?" He was just a stupid idiot, a stupid idiot who didn't even know his wife was sleeping with someone else.

Being a cheap dad, what's there to be happy about...?

Holy crap, it seems like he knows something.

"How long has Wang Defa been married?"

Cui Hehua was puzzled. "It's been more than three years, almost four years, right? What happened?"

"Tell me, what normal person can be married for four years and still not have a child? Could it be that..." that guy couldn't get the woman pregnant, and then found out that the child from back then wasn't his, and in a fit of anger, he set a fire.

The old widower felt that he was absolutely right; it must be true.

"You mean..." Cui Hehua's eyes widened in shock. Back then, Madam Song suspected that she couldn't have children and took her to see a doctor twice. The doctor said she was fine and told them to take Wang Defa to see a doctor. As a result, the doctor was scolded by Madam Song.

"You mean, Wang Defa discovered the child from back then..."

"Maybe that's it. Think about it, what good person can be married for four years without having a child? And you were the same back then. I thought he looked like a weakling, not like someone who could do anything. I never expected him to be so useless, unable to even sow the seed."

Cui Hehua blushed at his words and pushed him away, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do we do now? What if he exposes us? What if we get drowned?"

The old widower's eyes darkened. If he had exposed them back then, they might both have died. Now, time has passed, and he refuses to admit it. What can anyone do to him?

Perhaps Wang Defa was able to have children before, but after going to jail, he was tortured and became unable to have any more.

So much time has passed, it's still up to them to decide what to do.

Cui Hehua nodded repeatedly after hearing his words. What the head of the household said was right. As long as they didn't admit it, there was nothing they could do.

Sigh, thank goodness we got divorced, otherwise, I would have no children for the rest of my life, what hope would I have?

The old widower had originally intended to seek compensation from the Wang family, but now he felt guilty and dared not go to their door. If things escalated, neither of the two families would be spared.

Damn, this is so frustrating, I've lost a lot of money.

"Does the Wang family have money?"

What, he wants to steal it?

"As far as I can remember, they're all gone. Wang Defa built them all. Do you remember when he injured his leg? He had to sell land to afford his medicine. Over the years, everyone in the village has built new houses, but his family hasn't done anything."

The old man and Wang Defa, they had such high aspirations! If they weren't so poor, they would definitely have built a new house too.

The old widower thought about it and agreed. Wang Defa was the kind of person who would put on a brave face even when he was not, and he cared a lot about his reputation. He must be really struggling now.

Ugh, what bad luck!

"Master, let's not think about the Wang family's money anymore. If we want a son, we'll earn it ourselves. I'll definitely go next time the workshop is hiring. Even if I have to beg, I'll beg for a job."

"That would be best. If we build a house, our family will be broke."

Cui Hehua pursed her lips. Over the years, she had never taken out the silver she had stolen from the Wang family.

Her husband has never hidden anything from her, and he manages all the household finances. But if she takes it out now, will he have any reservations? Will he think she must have some secret savings, and will he stop letting her manage the finances in the future?

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn't know what to do.

Ever since Fang Youcai was frightened by his father, he has followed Fang Xiaoning's example, staying at home and rarely going out. Even when there is something to do, well, he still doesn't go out.

"Mother, you said that after Tiezhu comes back, you should let him and his wife move out."

"What do you mean?"

“Tiezhu is studying in the county town, and his wife takes care of us at home. We don’t need her to take care of us. The young couple only spend a few days together a year. How can she live a widow’s life at such a young age? Let her go and accompany us to study. We can hold our grandson sooner.”

Zhao suddenly realized, "Xiao Ning also mentioned this to me. Okay, next time, let them go to the county town together. With someone by their side to take care of them, I can feel more at ease."

She remembered what her daughter had said to her, "Honey, what do you think of Lotus?"

"Lotus? I don't know. That girl is a weirdo. She hasn't spoken a word to me in years. She runs away whenever she sees me. Do you think I look scary?"

Fang Youcai grinned at Zhao, his stubble and bright white teeth giving him a rather creepy look.

"She is introverted and shy."

"What's there to be shy about? I've been living at Xiao Ning's house since I was a few years old. Over the years, haven't I seen her a lot?"

I don't see Lianhua much at home, but I see her a lot at school. I think Lianhua is a bit off, a little dim-witted. Aunt Song is also quite pitiful; she raised two kids all by herself, and now one of them is mentally challenged.
