Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Mrs. Lai, ever since her feud with Aunt Lai and that resulting illness, had been cured but still suffered some speech impediments. When provoked by Aunt Lai, she sent the little maid to find their eldest daughter in the village.

The little maid, fearing Mrs. Lai might suffer at the hands of the concubine, went to find the eldest sister in the village as well.

Upon hearing that her mother was being bullied, Ye Shuying, already wanting an excuse to argue, arrived at her parental home and berated her father for not taking them to the Capital City.

Aunt Lai also joined in, accusing the eldest young master and young madam of taking their own children to the Capital City without showing filial piety to their mother-in-law and father-in-law.

"Shameless woman, isn't it because of you that my mother fell ill?"

Ye Shuying accused Aunt Lai.

Aunt Lai, too, was full of hatred; she had lost her child and had been ill these past few days, only recently feeling a bit better. If not for this old witch, she wouldn't have lost her child and missed the trip to the Capital City.

Thus, she and Ye Shuying started arguing.

Hongji's father, troubled by the quarrels between his daughter and concubine, left the grand house to find solace in drinking.

Ye Shuying and Aunt Lai turned the house upside down, deciding to send their mother away, leaving her without her maternal family's support.

Even with a father, it was as if they had a stepfather.

Ye Shuying ordered the little maid to pack her bags, and she went to find the housekeeper of her younger sister's estate, arriving just before noon to meet her brother-in-law who was inspecting the estate.

She told her brother-in-law that her mother-in-law was doing very well at home.

Without hesitation, Tang Weixing decided to have his mother-in-law stay with them for a few days.

After all, there was no shortage of rooms in his house, and his wife missed her mother.

So, Tang Weixing hurriedly drove the carriage, picked up Ye Shuying, and brought her mother-in-law back home to stay for a few days until her uncles returned.

Mrs. Li got wind of the entire situation. Just yesterday morning, she didn't see the aunt come to their house, seeing that they were back.

Mrs. Li and Tang Weixing discussed that the father-in-law and Aunt Lai wanted to buy a couple of maids.

At this point, Ye Shuzhen had already learned about these maids around Mrs. Li; they were not purchased by Mrs. Li.

As the Chief Steward of the Tang Family, Tang Weixing was well aware of certain matters.

The Capital City had written back, and the eldest young master had already spoken to him in person, willing to help with any requests from the Ye family.

Tang Weixing was already aware from the eldest young master that his wife's maternal family was not simple, and at this moment, he was also delighted to have married a formidable wife with such strong family backing!

How could Tang Weixing not help with Mrs. Li's requests?

The Ye family wanted to buy maids, and, naturally, they couldn't just casually purchase from any traffickers. They needed to buy someone with a better status; although not entirely unblemished, they couldn't harm the maternal family.

Tang Weixing went to an official matchmaker agency, where many people were relatives of criminals, the young ladies and young masters sold there were bound by a death contract; although pricier, there would be no future troubles, and their deaths wouldn't be questioned.

Tang Weixing chose a 28-year-old lady for his father-in-law because her family had committed crimes, and she, being implicated, had been reformed here.

This young lady, having been convicted, had accepted her fate over the years and, desperate to survive and to vindicate her family,

Longed to be sold to a wealthy family as a maid or concubine, especially to a powerful household, where she felt there would be a better chance of avenging her family and bringing her relatives banished to the desert back home.

The sisters harbored such thoughts, yet the truly authoritative families, aware of their background, dared not risk purchasing them.

The sisters were picky and choosy, which made their mother impatient as she threatened to sell them slowly to a brothel if they remained indecisive.

When Tang Weixing came to select maids, the mother received him very warmly, knowing his background, and brought out some maids for him to choose from.

Dressed and adorned like a wealthy master or rich young master, Tang Weixing immediately caught the attention of the maids, as if he would choose maids to keep them warm at night.

Such a handsome and wealthy man was indeed preferable to those older men.

Tang Weixing was unwilling to deceive these people. In their bright eyes, he mentioned that he was looking for maids for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, wanting to buy two who were willing to dedicate themselves and loyally serve their master once sold.

The maids initially thought it was Tang Weixing himself buying maids. Then they thought that if it were really a rich young master, there would be no need for him to come personally; the mother would bring the maids to his estate for selection.

When the sisters learned that this man was buying for his father-in-law, their initial happiness turned into silence. Finally, with determination, the sisters conceded that being part of an ordinary wealthy family, although somewhat older, was not devoid of opportunities.

The children they bore might not be free, and they hoped to find benevolent masters to help them escape this perilous situation and thus seize an opportunity.

Tang Weixing was aware of the law that the children of sinners, when serving in another household as servants, couldn't take examinations, but could conduct business or farm like normal people, though they couldn't hold office for three generations.

This was only a restriction for the children of sinners and female offsprings, and it did not conflict with their family.

If Tang Weixing helped his father-in-law find maids, even if they bore children, whether or not descendants of sinners, it wasn't certain they could pass the imperial exam to become top scorers and officials.

This law was useful for some and irrelevant for others.

Tang Weixing, learning that the sisters were willing to sell themselves, suddenly felt a bit of a headache; his father-in-law had married his mother-in-law, and then the concubine was the mother-in-law's niece.

If the father-in-law took in this pair of sisters as well, he would truly become an oddball!

He was helping create opportunities for the oddball.

Tang Weixing paid the mother and then asked her to help the sisters buy luggage.

He was so generous that it even made the sisters momentarily think they were escaping a perilous pit to enter a blessing nest.

The maids who hesitated and missed the opportunity felt some regret.

When they heard about buying maids for this person's father-in-law and mother-in-law, they immediately thought of becoming concubines to an old man.

If this was merely an excuse and they entered that household, only to catch the eyes of the young masters, wouldn't that change their fate?

The mother praised the sisters for their good judgement and excellent choice, as Tang Weixing, although just a steward of the Tang Family, lived in a large mansion, owned an estate, and had shops.

His father-in-law's household was even more impressive, with a renowned large estate in the countryside.

The Old Master's son was doing business in cooperation with the Tang Family in the countryside, indeed a rich man.

Leaving their place truly meant entering a blessing nest.

The sisters caught each other's eyes; if the mother had not deceived them, this could truly be beneficial for them.

They might not be able to vindicate their family for now, but the sisters' future was secure, no longer needing to wait here to be sold, nor fearing being sent to a brothel or brothel tower.

After buying the maids, Tang Weixing went out to buy gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, specially buying nutritional supplements for his mother-in-law.

During lunch, Mrs. Li and Tang Weixing's family had a meal at their house, and due to Mrs. Lai's past illness, she was served a specially prepared larger meal by the cook meant for patients.
