The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

"Dad, I heard that Song Feng's family is having a housewarming party. Their house is very nicely built, even the walls are made of blue bricks, and they even have a heated wall inside, so it's warm even without going to bed when it's cold."

"Oh, a heated wall? The third son's family really knows how to enjoy life." Old Master Song squinted his old eyes slightly. He knew what a heated wall was. His master's family used to have one too, and when he went in to report, the house was incredibly warm.

Now that he's getting older, he's becoming increasingly sensitive to the cold. In winter, he stays huddled on the kang (heated brick bed) and doesn't even want to get up to eat.

Wasn't the firewall in the third brother's house built for him?

"The third brother's house is one of a kind in the village."

"Absolutely! A row of houses with blue bricks and tiles, even the woodsheds—it's so grand and impressive!"

Old Song felt a pang of bitterness; he also longed to live in a new house. Who could have imagined that they would turn their fortunes around so dramatically, and that they would still be so vengeful and heartless?

"Dad, housewarming wine?"

“Our grandson is building a new house, how can we not go? We’ll all go, everyone will go. Tell your wife to go early that day to help. After everyone leaves, we’ll slowly negotiate with the third son’s family.” The village chief, that old scoundrel, relied on the family division document to shut him up.

The thing he regrets most in his life is that stupid document he signed. He could have just been kicked out. Why did he have to go through all that trouble?

What can they do to him?

Now, he is constantly hampered by that document. The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are a heavy burden weighing him down, making it hard for him to breathe.

During this period of time, he thought and thought, and now he could only use a conciliatory policy to coax the third son's family to destroy the documents and merge them back into one family before he could make his move.

"Tell them to be quick and efficient that day, and to treat the third son's family with utmost respect. We're trying to win them back, not push them away again, understand?"

Old Master Song was shocked. So even his father couldn't do anything about them. "I understand, I understand! Don't worry, Father, we'll make sure to treat them politely."

That day, they ordered the meal: braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish, steamed eggplant, smashed cucumber, tofu and cabbage soup, and the staple food was brown rice and black flour buns.

Everyone does it this way, so they don't need to show off their wealth or do it too well. Wouldn't that just give people an excuse to ask them for money?

Now that the house is built, they can just live their quiet lives.

"Have you notified everyone?"

"Yes, I've told everyone who comes to work at our house, and I've also gone to the old house."

"Did I make things difficult for you?"

"No, he was very polite. The old man was all smiles and praised you for being capable. He said that both of your aunts will come to help tomorrow."

Fang Xiaoning pondered. She didn't believe that the wolf would ever change for the better. Unsolicited kindness was either a sign of malice or theft.

"Tell Mother that she shouldn't say anything to her aunts that day, and she shouldn't agree to anything they say. Xiao An should also be reminded not to be fooled."

"I know, Mother is even more afraid of those people at the old house than I am, so don't worry."

"It's precisely because I'm afraid that I dare not refuse their requests." This is also what worries her. Her mother-in-law is too soft-hearted and too easily manipulated. It's fine if she can't stand on her own two feet, but she shouldn't hold her back.

"I'll go and give them a few instructions in a bit."

The arrival of the new furniture caused a sensation throughout the village. Three mule carts had come to deliver the goods; no other family in the village owned a mule cart, as they usually traveled to town by oxcart. Many women and children followed the mule carts, coming to see what was happening.

They were even more excited when they heard that the deliverymen had come. "Whose house are you going to?" They wondered who in the village could afford to buy so much stuff that it would take three mule carts to deliver it.

"The Song Feng family, do you know them?"

"I know, I know, I'll take you. What did they buy with all this stuff?"

"furniture."

(⊙o⊙) Wow! Furniture! New furniture, bought in town! The Song family kid has struck it rich!

They thought that building houses was just showing off, and that once they built them, they would be burdened with debt, forced to eat coarse food and pay off their debts.

But the people in town bought furniture...

Song Feng and Fang Xiaoning were already waiting for the delivery person. Everything in the house was ready, and they were just waiting for the new furniture to be brought in.

"Song Feng, the furniture delivery guys are here! Open the door!" They could hear someone calling them from afar before the deliverymen even arrived. How many people had come with them? Were they all so free?

The gate was opened, and the mule cart was let in. Several men quickly dismounted and began unloading the furniture. The shopkeeper had instructed them to have the new furniture assembled before leaving.

"Wow!"

As the furniture was unloaded, gasps of surprise filled the air. "Wow, the colors are so vibrant! This red is even more eye-catching than a young woman's wedding dress!"

Just like that, place them in the positions specified by Fang Xiaoning and install them.

"What's this? What's this huge wooden plank for?"
