The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Old Mrs. Sun was in a dilemma. In her heart, she wanted to help her youngest son. However, she was afraid of hurting the feelings of her other two sons, as the two elderly people still needed their care.

Fang Laosi felt a chill in his heart when his mother didn't nod in response. He had thought that they would give it to him as long as he asked.

They keep saying they love him the most, but when it comes down to it, this is how they love him?

Ha, that's hilarious.

Old Mrs. Sun was in a terrible predicament. She looked at her youngest son with guilt and desperately tried to think of a way to help him.

Fang Youfu planned to leave. Since there was no chance, why should he stay? Was he just inviting humiliation?

"Fourth brother is here." Old Fang had just woken up and was about to have some tea and snacks before going to chat with someone. But he saw Fang Youfu in the main room.

"Well, old man, come here, I have something to tell you." Old Mrs. Sun felt that she should tell the old man this and see what he meant.

Old Mrs. Sun told the old man again about Fang Lao Si's purpose. Fang Youfu looked at his father nervously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Old Man Fang immediately put aside his pride and didn't give Fang Youfu any face at all. "I say, fourth son, your mother and I have treated you well all these years, haven't we?"

We've supported your education, and even argued with your older brother several times because of you. Of all your brothers, haven't we been the best to you?

"Yes, my parents have always loved me very much, I know that."

"Since you know that, you shouldn't be greedy and ask for things that are impossible. I said last time that I've taken care of you up to this age, which is already more than enough. How you support the family in the future is your responsibility."

We don't ask you to be overly filial, we just ask you to stop making things difficult for your mother and me. We're getting old too, we just want a few more days of peace." Old Fang's mind was clearer than ever before, and he felt utterly disappointed in his fourth son.

Why doesn't he consider how he would face his second and third sons' families if the house were given to him to use as a shop and they moved in?

Because of him, he has suffered so much resentment. Isn't that enough?

"This house belongs to your second and third brothers. You know what they sacrificed to get it. I won't say much more. If you really want to open a shop, you can go to them. If they agree, that's all that matters."

They'd never agree to that!

He didn't have the face to beg them. He knew perfectly well that they wouldn't agree even if he begged.

His father always said how much he loved him, but in reality, he was the one who truly harmed him. It was his so-called love that made his older brothers resent him, feeling that the old man was biased and that he had benefited immensely.

God knows, he never had a good life. Studying was so hard; he never had any fun growing up, always facing a book. He couldn't eat or sleep well.

And what happened? Because of this, he became estranged from his brother. If only he hadn't gone to school back then. It wasn't his own choice; his father forced him. In the end, after all those years of hard study, he didn't get any credit.

Isn't it just because he didn't hold an official position and couldn't bring them any benefits?

"Dad, I have something to do at home, I have to go now."

After her son left, the old woman looked at Old Man Fang with disapproval.

"Old man, you're being too harsh on the fourth son. Don't you know how hard he's having it? Can't you be a little more understanding?"

"I've been too understanding of him all these years, always thinking of him first. But look at him! He just takes advantage of us old folks."

He doesn't know our current situation. We can't count on the eldest brother, we can't count on him, and if we offend the second or third brother, will anyone come to take care of us when we're lying in bed? The fourth brother is too ruthless.

And look at Old Man Wang and Old Man Song, weren't they just desperately trying to get their other sons to benefit their own beloved sons and grandsons because they couldn't see the light? And what was the result? They didn't enjoy anything, suffered their whole lives, and then they died.

Old Man Wang is alright; his children are fairly filial. But look at Old Man Song—how have his eldest and second sons treated him these past two years? I don't know what they're after. To be honest, if we were in Old Man Song's shoes, our fourth son would treat us worse than they treated Old Man Song. You believe me? Even if you love him, you can't just love him blindly, right?"

"But he has a point. If we open a shop..."

"Do you think he really doesn't have any money? All those years of copying books were for nothing? He's just reluctant to spend it. If he really wanted to open a shop, he could just buy a small plot of land in the village and build a house. Even if it's made of blue bricks, how much would that cost? He's just looking at what's available right now and wants to use ours."

"Maybe they're even thinking of opening a shop, and we could help them babysit their kids and watch the shop for them!"

"No, absolutely not!" Old Mrs. Sun said with extreme lack of confidence.

Old Fang ignored her, saying, "I'm going to the village entrance to chat with the old folks!"
