The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Where did you buy so many gems?

"Since the opportunity arose, I bought them all. You can find someone to make jewelry that you like from these gemstones."

Fang Xiaoning looked down at the box of gems and decided to choose two that were similar to make a pair of rings.

"I'll take them to my mother later and let her choose a few."

"Okay, I'll buy more when I run out."

"Do you have enough silver to buy all of these?"

Song Feng turned his head awkwardly, "I checked the bills of a few shops, and then..." Then, since there weren't enough things to buy, he took all the profits and used them to buy gifts.

Fine, as long as it wasn't borrowed from someone else, it's my own money. So what if it's spent? And it's all spent on them anyway.

"By the way, on my trip to the prefectural city, I sold two dried chicken shops to the owners and their accountants."

"They embezzled." For him to sell them, they must have embezzled quite a lot.

"Yes, they've embezzled quite a bit. Xiao Ning, this won't work. The mountains are high and the roads are long. If we stay here for too long without anyone to supervise us, some people will inevitably become greedy and have ulterior motives. For example, we thought of separating the accountant and the manager so they could supervise each other. But what happened? They colluded with each other."

"That's really a problem."

No one is as reliable as yourself, but it's true that you can't possibly manage everything yourself.

"Do you have any idea?"

"I plan to appoint several chief managers who will audit the accounts periodically. We will also occasionally visit the accounts ourselves, because we can't trust anyone completely. What do you think?"

Fang Xiaoning thought about it carefully and realized that they had indeed been too lenient with them. "Yes, that's right. When the business expands, all sorts of problems arise. Also, the families of the managers in various places absolutely cannot be allowed to take away. They should all be held at the farm or somewhere else. In short, they can't live together. What if they make enough money and run away one day? Where will we find them?"

“You’re right. These days, it’s not impossible to buy a fake household registration. So, it’s still safer to keep the person as collateral.”

Song Feng also felt that a head manager was necessary, and he needed to be held accountable; otherwise, they might as well just give their shops away. If everyone tried to emulate the head manager of Fucheng, would they starve?

That very night, Ms. Su received several large packages containing food, clothing, jewelry, and toys. When she saw a box full of gemstones, she was stunned, her hands trembling. "That spendthrift Fengzi!" she thought.

"Mom, pick a few you like, and we'll go get some jewelry made another day."

Su closed her eyes, suppressing the urge to hit the child. "Take it and do it. I'm too old for so much jewelry. I can't even wear all the ones you've bought for me."

Fang Xiaoning directly helped her select a few large, high-quality ones.

He gave Song Chunni and Lianhua each a piece, and also gave them a share of the jewelry Song Feng brought back. He planned to take the rest back to his mother's home tomorrow.

That evening, everyone in the family received a large package of gifts. Song An stared blankly at the huge package in his hand, "Did my older brother strike it rich? Wasn't he supposed to be taking an exam?"

Madam Su gritted her teeth. She had asked her son, and he said these things cost over eight thousand taels of silver. She almost fainted at that moment. "You've not struck it rich, you've lost your mind. Keep these things safe, they're very valuable."

Seeing his mother's pained expression, Song An realized she had spent quite a bit of money. He hadn't seen his mother like this in years.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the separation was like a honeymoon. With great foresight, Mrs. Su took the child back to her room. The two of them played around all night, and unsurprisingly, they woke up late the next day.

She got up, carrying large and small bags, and went back to her parents' home.

"Mother, what about father?"

Why can't I see my dad when I get home? What's he busy with?

"Your dad's been called back to the old house by your grandpa again. What did you bring this time? We have everything we need at home, so don't bring everything to your parents' house."

"What is it now?" Is the old man so persistent? This is really annoying.

"Your fourth uncle beat up your fourth aunt."

Fang Xiaoning was unimpressed. They'd fought countless times over the years, always making up the next day. That's just how they are now. "Oh, why call me 'Dad'? It's not like I'm the one who hit her."

“This time it’s gotten pretty bad. Your fourth aunt went back to her parents’ home and is determined to get a divorce from him.”

"Let them get a divorce then. They're like this, it's better to get a divorce." If they're compatible, they stay together; if they're not, they separate. Fang Xiaoning is very open-minded about this. It's only because of her fourth aunt that she's like this. If it were her, she wouldn't have stayed after the first time she hit her.

Domestic violence is either a one-time occurrence or a recurring pattern.

Zhao was speechless. She forgot that her daughter's thoughts were often different from others. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you get a divorce? You already have two children. If you divorce, what will happen to the children without a mother?"

"Then just give the child to Fourth Aunt. If I get a divorce, I'll definitely take the child with me."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! You have no sense of propriety!" Zhao was so angry that she slapped her a few times. What did she say? Her son-in-law was still holding the child, and she said she wanted a divorce. What a brainless woman! "Fengzi, she's just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!"

"I know, Xiao Ning is talking about Fourth Uncle." The two of them had just had their last conversation last night, how could they possibly be talking about divorce today? He knew his wife wasn't talking about them.

Seeing that Song Feng was so easy to talk to, Zhao felt even more pleased and continued to argue with her daughter, "You make it sound so easy. How can a Zhao family child be raised by someone else? Besides, you say that if a child has no mother, he should be raised by another mother. Doesn't that mean the child has no father? How can a child be without a father? Fourth son's wife is divorced, so shouldn't she remarry?"

"Even though my fourth uncle is divorced, he'll remarry anyway. A stepfather is at least better than a stepmother."

Zhao was so angry she felt dizzy. "Can't we just live a peaceful life together? Why don't we get a divorce? Is a family something that can be broken up so easily? In our village, how many people get divorced peacefully? They fight and bicker all the time, and that's how their lives end."

Back then, the person in charge was completely unreasonable, but she still put up with it.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, a lifetime has passed."

Zhao:......
