The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

They blew some thick smoke into the small window, then quietly left to continue blowing smoke into another house.

After they finished playing the flute, they arrived at the old house, where the others were already fast asleep. In the darkness, the two men exchanged a smile, took their fingers, dipped them in red ink, and pressed them onto the severance document.

When they get back, we need to give it to the housekeeper immediately; the fingerprints are too new and need to be aged.

One person at a time, pressing their fingerprints one by one, a total of six fingerprints were left. Finally, they were carefully wiped clean of any remaining ink.

You're done!

Under the cover of night, the two quietly left the village without alerting anyone.

The housekeeper stayed up all night, waiting for news. He paced back and forth, circling the courtyard gate.

Song Feng didn't sleep either; he sat in his study reading and waiting for news.

"Master, it's done."

Song Feng smiled, put down his book, hugged his wife, and went to sleep peacefully.

Fang Xiaoning's eyelids started twitching really badly early in the morning; something was about to happen. And it was bad news; her right eye was twitching so intensely it felt numb.

"Your grandpa and the others are probably coming today. My eyelids have been twitching. Did it go smoothly last night?"

"Come on then, the severance of kinship document is already taken care of."

"Really? It worked last night?" The surprise came too suddenly.

"Yes, they're getting it aged at the housekeeper's place. Don't worry, they can't stop us."

Fang Xiaoning felt relieved, ate a simple breakfast, and went out to make arrangements. She needed to keep a close watch on the workshop, her home, and her aunt's house for the next two days.

The housekeeper's report that day truly disgusted her. Su Gengsheng was a scoundrel. He had absolutely no respect for women.

We still need to keep an eye on my aunt; if something happens, it will be too late to regret it.

Scumbag, scumbag!

"Brother, brother!"

When Su Lao Si arrived, Su Gengsheng's family was still asleep.

"Brother, what time is it? Why aren't you up yet? Aren't you going to Jujube Tree Village?" Old Su was extremely anxious. He had just woken up when it was already broad daylight. He thought he would definitely be the last one there, so he rushed over with his family without even eating.

Unexpectedly, their family was the first to get up. Their parents and eldest brother were still asleep, and their second and third brothers were nowhere to be seen either.

Where are they? Where are they?

"Brother, Father, Mother, get up, get up!"

Su Gengsheng was woken up by the noise, rubbing his throbbing head. Had he overslept? What time was it? Why hadn't anyone woken him? What were his parents and wife doing?

"Brother, get up quickly, it will be too late if we don't go now. Zaoshu Village is quite far from here."

"What time is it?"

It's already 9 AM!

Su Gengsheng jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed). It was 9:00 AM? My God, how could he have slept for so long?

"Wake up, wake up!" Su Gengsheng kicked his wife, who was fast asleep on the kang (heated brick bed), a few times without any politeness. "You lazy old woman, look how lazy she's become, still sleeping for me."

"What's the matter?"

"What's wrong? It's broad daylight! You lazy bum, get up and make some cornbread, then leave right now."

"Okay, okay! I'll go right away."

"Aren't your parents up yet?"

"not yet."

Why is everyone sleeping so much today?

"Where are the second and third brothers?"

"Not yet."

Holy crap, still sleeping?

"Go and wake them up. The sun's already high in the sky, how can they still be sleeping? Don't they know what we're supposed to do today?"

Su Laosi remained silent, though he wanted to complain: "Aren't you just like them, still half asleep? Even if I don't wake you up, you're all still snoring."

Was it because everyone was too happy and excited yesterday that they stayed up too late? That must be it. He and his wife chatted until midnight last night. They were discussing how to spend the money they had. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the harder it was for them to fall asleep. In the end, he couldn't quite remember how he finally drifted off to sleep.

"Big brother, you guys hurry up and make something to eat. I'll go call second brother and third brother." Seriously, such a big thing, yet the whole family is sleeping soundly. How can they all be so carefree?

By the time the entire Su family had gotten up and made the cornbread, an hour had passed. No matter how late it was, they didn't want to wait any longer. They had to go to Zaoshu Village immediately to find Su Daya and ask for the money.

Of course, if she really does become rich.

"Old man, from now on we'll be the Grand Madam and Grand Master?"

"Yes, that's right. Tell Daya that the number of people serving us must not be less than the number of people serving her."

"Isn't this necessary? Oh dear, just thinking about it makes my heart race. But that brat is heartless. All these years, the whole family has been eating and dressing well, but she's never thought of sending us any money, and she's never even come home."

"That's why everyone says daughters are useless. They're all ungrateful wretches, money-losing goods. We raised her for over ten years for nothing. Back then, when we tried to sell her to a rich man, she absolutely refused. We even tried to sell her to a brothel, but they thought she was too ugly and wouldn't pay a high price. Otherwise, we would be living the high life by now."

"Indeed, that girl has never been a good one since she was little. She's clumsy with words, malicious, and selfish. People always say that daughters are like water spilled out of a bowl, and all the love and care they give you is wasted. In our area, that's absolutely true."

The old woman was now so angry she wanted to pounce on Su Daya and tear her apart. How dare she secretly live a good life behind their backs?

"Old woman, when you see her, don't lose your temper. We still need her to follow our lead in the future. If she's willing to take the money obediently, then give her a good look."

"Pah! She doesn't deserve it!"

Of all the children she's given birth to, Su Daya is the one she dislikes the most and hates the most.

"Regardless of whether she's a good match or not, she's definitely the most successful one right now. You better watch out, or if you mess this up, I'll beat you to death when we get back."

The old woman trembled with fright, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"That's more like it. Remember, when you ask her for money, ask for more than you need."

"How much more? Fifty taels?"

"Look at your ambition, at least five hundred taels, do you think you can give money to a beggar? Fifty taels, not even enough to fill the gap between your teeth."

Five hundred taels? Can she come up with that?

“Mother, you stay in the village all day and don’t know anything. Five hundred taels of silver is no different from five copper coins for Su Daya.” Su Gengsheng had heard a lot about how rich and powerful his family was.

“Tell her that each family will receive one thousand taels, and you and Dad will also receive one, making it five thousand taels as a gift for our families’ meeting. As for the rest, she can decide what to do, but it definitely can’t be less than the gift for the meeting.”

so much?

The old lady was so frightened she almost fainted. Five thousand taels of silver! How much is that? If it were in copper coins, could they even count it? It could have crushed their entire family! The eldest son really dared to say that!

Old Su nodded in agreement. As expected of his son, he had the same big heart as him.

"Brother, can we really ask for five thousand taels, one thousand taels per family?" Su Lao Er's eyes widened, and his mind went blank. When he came, he thought he would be satisfied if he could get twenty taels when he returned.

"Of course! Everyone says their family makes a fortune every day. Just think how much silver that is!"

Su Lao Er found it hard to imagine what kind of life Su Daya, who was so wealthy, lived. "Daya eats meat every day and can't even finish it all?"

Su Gensheng scoffed, "Eating meat? What rare thing can't she eat? She eats meat all the time. Now, when she eats, there are dishes all over the table, and people serve her food. She walks with people supporting her on both sides. She wears gold on her head and silk."

He learned all of this when he went to the county town to watch a play; it was the kind of life the wealthy old lady lived.

Those who were on their way gasped in surprise. Goodness, Su Daya is really something else!
