The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

It rained for three days straight before the sun finally came out.

They had already chartered an oxcart for three days, but they wanted to charter it for another two days. The roads were all muddy, and Fang Xiaoning insisted that Song Feng not walk on them. She didn't want to have a husband who had arthritis at such a young age, and she would be the one suffering.

The best news these days is that the pastry shop wants hawthorn cake, priced at 25 coins per jin (500g), and will deliver 15 jin a day. The restaurant wants 8 jin of rice crackers a day for trial sales.

Neither of these two items can compare to the profit of acorn tofu, but even a few flies are still meat.

She calculated that both had a profit margin of one-third.

"Brother Feng, I'd like to teach my family how to make rice crusts. What do you think?"

Originally, she intended to give her mother hawthorn cakes. However, her mother might not have enough money to buy hawthorns, and there was no place in the house to store them.

Red berries, if not stored properly, won't last long. Their family has a cellar, so they can store them there. Even if they don't have a cellar, they have a room to store them. But the Fang family—first, her father was lazy and didn't dig one; second, even if they did, there wasn't anything to store them in, so over the years, they haven't even had a cellar.

If we don't harvest the red berries now, they'll all fall to the ground and rot in a while.

Another thing is that hawthorn cake is troublesome to make, while rice crust is something her mother can make herself in the kitchen.

After much thought, I still think that crispy rice crust is more suitable for her mother.

"Sure, I also think it's too much; our family can't finish it all."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

"No need to thank me, it was all your idea."

"Mother, she..."

"Mother, you don't need to worry. The two of them get along very well! She said long ago that she felt bad seeing your mother worrying about money. If you share the money, she'll be the happiest."

Song Feng was telling the truth. When Zhao Shi found out, she not only had no objections, but was actually very happy. What a wonderful thing! Both families could prosper, and only then would she feel at ease. Otherwise, she would always feel sorry for her in-laws.

When Zhao found out, she initially wanted to refuse. She was earning money working there, and Fang Youcai had also come up the mountain today. She stipulated that he had to chop four loads of firewood a day. The two children would chop the firewood for the family.

“Mom, we’ve already discussed it. There’s too much work for us to finish, so please consider it a favor. I trust your skills. It’s cold, so you don’t need to come over. Just stay home and do the work. Song Feng will come over every day to pick it up and deliver it to town together.”

"But..." She felt terribly guilty, still worrying about her family even after her daughter got married.

"No buts. Our whole family agrees, and my mother-in-law has no objections at all. Mom, the house is in dire need of repairs, and I'm worried about your situation. Don't refuse anymore, let's just leave it at that, okay?"

"Alright, Mother will accept this favor, even if it hurts her pride."

“That’s right! Mother, there’s something else. Tomorrow, come over and help me look after the house. Feng and I are going to the county town.”

What are you going to the county town for?

"Buy a mule cart."

Zhao was stunned. Her daughter was buying livestock? Mules, no less? Good heavens!

"You want to buy mules?"

"Yeah, delivery is inconvenient, with rain and snow all the time, and we also have to set up a stall in the summer. We'll need it anyway, so buying one will save us a lot of trouble."

Zhao agreed. A couple of days ago, when it rained, her son-in-law came home with half his clothes soaked and his face blue from the cold. She was afraid he would catch a cold.

"That's true, it's getting cold, and delivering goods is indeed not easy."

"We're leaving tomorrow morning, and we don't know when we'll be back. Please keep an eye on the house. If we don't come back tonight, let Tiezhu and Gou Dan sleep here, and you and Grandma sleep here to keep them company. If anyone comes, don't pay any attention to them and don't open the door."

"Okay, don't worry, with me here, they'll be fine. You young people, buying such expensive things, do you even know what you're doing? Don't get scammed!"

"These past few days, Brother Feng has been inquiring about prices and how to inspect livestock in town. The prices are roughly the same, so there shouldn't be any problems."
