Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Lady Tang

“Husband, our son has been taught by Mrs. Li to drift away from us, is that also a good thing?”

Young Madam always felt like a thorn was stuck in her heart whenever she thought about her son taking his monthly salary and using it to buy gifts for Mrs. Li’s daughters.

She had always believed that her son must remain under her control.

“Madam, our son will be a man when he grows up, and if he has his own opinions, our family will grow stronger and richer. This is our legacy.”

The Eldest Young Master had different thoughts from his wife; sometimes, he even felt his wife was a bit petty.

...

Perhaps it was because his wife was not born of the principal line, and although she was raised in a wealthy family, she bore the air of a petty household.

He could marry his wife because he was schoolmates and good friends with her legitimate brother. He himself had once had both civil and military strategy, even aspiring to become the Martial Arts Top Scorer as well as the top scorer in literature but had given up due to some matters and returned home to take over the family business.

During his father’s birthday this time, his wife’s legitimate brother brought his wife and child to visit, both to honor him and to see his old friend.

“Hmm, that’s right, Weiting is correct. Our family indeed has a successor,” Mr. Tang, Tang Hailong, believed their father and son had the right idea.

“Naturally, since the Old Master says so, daughter-in-law, you can decide,” agreed Madam.

“Mother, since you’ve said so, as a daughter-in-law, I will listen to my husband. From next month on, let Liang Fa give the monthly salary to Shunyan,” said the young madam.

Lady Tang, unable to gain control over her son and abiding by the majority rule, felt that it was within the rules for a woman to follow her husband after marriage.

“Hehe, that’s wonderful! Then, Grandfather, Grandmother, and Mother, please don’t punish the wet nurse. Shunyan doesn’t want to make the wet nurse sad,” Tang Shunyan, the little guy, stood up, wanting to help Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li, who had her head down from earlier, was grateful for the main family’s decision not to punish her.

The most significant gratitude, of course, was because the Young Master bought gifts for her children, which led to the discussion about money.

The Tang Family supported the Young Master in doing this, possessing a kind heart; she didn’t think she was so significant to be treated like family by the employers. The distinction between master and servant was clear.

“Stand up! From now on, take good care of the Young Master and don’t talk about things you shouldn’t. After all, he is too young to discern right from wrong,” instructed Madam.

Mrs. Li stood up and bowed to the family, saying, “This humble woman understands.”

Young Madam pouted, only then remembering the morning’s incident of searching for her son.

“Shunyan, the goat’s milk sent by the County Magistrate’s granddaughter, did you say to have it made into milk pastries, and have they been sent over?”

Tang Shunyan nodded and said, “She teased me yesterday for drinking human milk. I told her I wasn’t used to goat milk, yet she still sent it. Sigh, I don’t even like pastries made with goat milk; Mother, please send it back!”

“Oh, when did my son become so familiar with the County Magistrate’s granddaughter?”

The Young Madam knowingly asked in front of the elders. The maid, Mei Zhi, had already informed her of yesterday’s incident, but she brought it up in front of the elders to make them pay more attention to her son and his familiarity with the County Magistrate’s granddaughter.

“Yesterday. Wasn’t it you who arranged for all us children to sit together? She introduced herself, but actually, we’re not that familiar,” said Tang Shunyan, who preferred playing with his male cousins and friends, since he couldn’t play with girls and didn’t see them as potential friends.

“Then, will Shunyan personally deliver it?” Young Madam was just saying it casually; how could she really let her son go to someone else’s house with a servant? After all, her son wasn’t even three years old yet.

“You don’t want to do it? Our son has lessons in the morning and also in the afternoon,” Tang Shunyan didn’t know why his first reaction was to refuse.

“Husband, let the tutor rest for a morning and let the child take some things to the county magistrate’s house with someone,” the young madam gazes at her husband. She wished to become friends with the county magistrate’s wife, so after she had her child, they could keep in close contact.

“Let’s listen to the child, don’t do anything, children have their own way of interacting, and the waters are deep here,” Tang Weiting certainly understood his wife’s thinking.

“Alright then!” The young madam, not entirely willing, still agreed to send the pastries over.

Tang Shunyan felt that everything that needed to be done was handled, and since it was almost time for his lessons, he called Mrs. Li to return to their courtyard.

Mrs. Li obediently agreed with her head lowered and followed Tang Shunyan out of this suffocating living room.

So many things had happened in the Tang Mansion, but the Ye family, who had just finished harvesting rice at home, would not think too much about it after they had finished their tasks.

Hongji again turned over the field; after that was done, he helped plant potatoes. If planted now, they could harvest them in March, and all these were grains.

Daya, Er Ya, and Sanya were not idle either, helping their father in the fields.

Since Hongji couldn’t do carpentry at home, Hongji’s father also couldn’t work in the fields, and he had not received any other carpentry work yet but urgently needed to make a dowry for the Second Miss. @@novelbin@@

At night, Hongji also helped out in the darkness, still unable to fulfill his promise to make toys for his little daughter.

Mrs. Lai and her two daughters had a hard time drying all the rice from the two acres of fields and then storing it in the warehouse before taking the new rice to be hulled.

The Ye family finally had new rice to eat, still dry rice, which made everyone in the family very happy.

Ye Shiqi was discovered by Siwa eating honey one day. She had also given some to her aunts and her wet nurse. Since then, she didn’t dare to take out the honey to eat again.

When she was very hungry at night, she imagined her body entering the space; eating alone there didn’t feel good, but she had to do so to prevent others from discovering the secret of the space.

In the space, the rice had already been harvested once, and for the space’s products to be hulled, it was just a matter of thought.

Looking at the hulled white rice piled up in the space, she couldn’t help but swallow saliva.

In her past and present life, she had never cooked rice before; there was no pot for cooking rice in the space, and at nearly four months old, she still couldn’t walk. She didn’t want to crawl because she was particular about cleanliness and felt it was dirty.

She thought of a way, which was to have her eldest sister cook rice every time and ask her fourth sister to hold her to the side of the kitchen.

From this position, she could use her thoughts to pour some rice from the space into the rice bin, but not too much; only about a bowl each time, just so as not to let the family members find out.

A few days later, Ye Shiqi thought she was doing it undetected, but Mrs. Lai felt it strange when the rice bin seemed to have more rice and discussed it with her old man.

That night before going to sleep, Mrs. Lai sneakily checked the rice bin again. Every time they cooked, she personally took out the rice.

She knew precisely how much new rice was hulled this time; Li Wei had already finished the new rice, yet there was still so much left, which surprised her and made her think that immortals were sending gifts to her home at midnight.

“Old man, do you think we have immortals sending us rice? It’s so odd, we had hulled just a little bit of rice, and I thought we’d have to hull more soon, but there’s still half a vat left.”

Hongji’s father, who had worked hard harvesting rice in the past few days and had been busily doing carpentry, was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed. Hearing his wife’s words in his daze, he woke up bewildered.

“Really? Is there really such a thing? Our family has encountered good fortune! Make sure you don’t go around telling everyone about it,” Hongji’s father was a theist and believed that there were immortals in the sky. Otherwise, what was the point of the God of Wealth they worshiped every year?
