Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

"Hongji, we're having dinner together. Is there something you want to discuss?" Hongji's foster father noticed the couple seemed

absent-minded today!

The old fox wasn't concerned about his adoptive son's couple; he was naturally worried about whether they could secure their wealth and continue living in riches.

"Hmm, in a few days, my wife and I will go to Capital City for the Spring Festival. Father and the concubines, as well as Mother, will stay home. I will have my sisters take extra care of you!"

Hongji's domineering decision was not up for discussion. Upon hearing these words, Hongji's foster father's expression immediately darkened!

The two new concubines of Hongji's foster father were stunned when they heard about the couple's plan to go to Capital City. They stared at them, yearning yet slightly fearful, longing yet terrified, but they didn't dare to say anything!

"What? You two are going to Capital City, leaving everyone else at home. That's not right. Old Master, we also want to go to Capital City!"

Mrs. Lai had always longed to go to Capital City, to see that

prosperous city, and she wanted to become someone important in that bustling place!

Before marrying Hongji's foster father, she only desired to live a wealthy life with plenty to eat and drink without having to work, to enjoy the life of a landlord's wife!

After marrying in, she became more ambitious, no longer merely wanting to have enough to eat and drink, with servants working for her. She wanted more money. If the family could go to Capital City for business, then her idea of going to Capital City became even stronger. But she was only a concubine, always regretting her later decision,

thinking that if she had continued clinging to Hongji and not married his father, maybe they would take her along to Capital City now?

Mrs. I had regretted for many years and I Hongji's foster father for taking one concubine after another, with now even those concubines being pregnant!

Mrs. Lai's objection was tacitly approved by Hongji's foster father, who then looked at Hongji.

"Hongji, during the Spring Festival, everyone reunites with family. If you go to Capital City, we can't have a family reunion. Why don't we all go to Capital City together?"

Mrs. Li didn't even give them a glance. There were things within the family she wouldn't discuss, and now all the communication with her foster parents was handed over to her husband!

"Father, this is not a discussion. It's inconvenient for you to go to Capital City. As for why it's inconvenient? You understand the

implication, and now Capital City is very complex. I won't go into details. I'll leave some money with the family, but when we'll return is uncertain!"

Hongji's foster father steadily eyed Hongji, even losing his appetite. This son wasn't his offspring; raising him hadn't fostered a bond, making him regret swapping for his cousin's child back in the day.

This was like giving someone else a wedding dress. As for his daughter, whether she was in Capital City or not didn't matter; he couldn't even enjoy daughterly blessings.

Once a daughter is married, it's good enough if she doesn't cling to her in-laws. The eldest daughter was an example, and the second daughter and younger daughter were slightly better!

This indeed justified his needs for having his own son!

Thinking about the children his two concubines carried, he desired wealth even more!

However, he feared that Hongji would reveal the couple's wrongdoings in front of everyone. Mrs. Lai's recent activities were supported by him in secret!

Anyway, whatever Mrs. Lai did wasn't done by him. The wealth Mrs. Lai acquired was his too.

"Cousin..." Mrs. Lai gave Hongji a seductive glance, then changed her address upon seeing Hongji's cold gaze: "Young Master, take us with

you!"

Hongji ignored Mrs. Lai, having no good feelings for his foster father's concubine, especially the so-called cheap cousin!

He quickly shoveled some rice into his mouth. Despite a table full of delicious dishes, he had no appetite to eat!

After eating a bowl of rice, he exchanged a look with Mrs. Li and then returned to his study to write letters!

They were letters to several other sisters, and he would also meet his brother-in-law tomorrow to arrange matters for the factory!

Hongji felt there wasn't enough time, only a day or two, for this trip to Capital City. Regardless of what the future holds, the first task was to take all the liquid assets!

As for his foster father, that would be up to the brother-in-law, with the profits received later during the New Year given as a filial gift!

Mrs. Li would also be very busy; she would definitely take her maid along. As for this family, one couldn't know if they'd return. As for the estates, which were their assets, they must inform the older brother that no matter how this cheap father-in-law stirred up trouble, the land deeds would not be given to them but remained with them, with the younger daughter!

Mrs. Lai discovered the couple was not paying attention, treating her words like passing wind: "Old Master, how can we not go to Capital City? Weren't we supposed to reunite as a family? If you don't take the elder sister, then Old Master and I will go together," glancing at

the two pregnant concubines eating quietly:

"They are heavily pregnant, truly not suited to travel to Capital City, so me, Old Master, and my daughter will go. Old Master, let's arrange

that!"

Mrs. Lai knew her Old Master had money hidden away for

emergencies, but how much?

Her wealthy daughters would surely provide him with retirement

money, give to the first wife, and give to the old man, but not give her! Furthermore, there was a monthly salary, and it would be a loss if those two temptresses benefited?

Of course, Mrs. Lai received a monthly salary as well, but her parents

would ask for support every month. Her status in this family needed her own family's backing, and no matter what, she was still better than those two temptresses since her family lived nearby! Hongji's foster father heard Mrs. Lai's suggestion, already in a foul mood, his expression gloomy. Mrs. Lai and the others didn't know that without his adoptive son's consent, he was too anxious to go to Capital City!

That old housekeeper had come, so the adopted son must have

known his status!

If they went to Capital City to reconnect with their heritage, he didn't

dare to go!

Then if they had power and influence, killing him in Capital City, even

if not outright murder, but reporting to the authorities in Capital City, he wouldn't want to spend any more time in jail!

Hongji's foster father was uneasy, his face sullen, not responding to

Mrs. Lai!

The two other concubines didn't dare speak up. Even if they desired to go to Capital City, how could they argue their family's case? Living well in this rural setting, they could only hope their unborn

children would prosper and rectify their grievances in the future.

They also hoped perhaps the family's Lady and young Master, or this Eldest Young Master could assist!

But they knew the influential people who wronged their family couldn't be dealt with by mere commoners!

Unless it involved people with the power over life and death.

Their family's complicated case wasn't so easily overturned!

They could only silently serve Mrs. Lai.

Hongji's foster father turned and entered another room, where two

concubines usually attended to him.

Mrs. Lai glared hatefully at the two pregnant concubines: "Hmph,

wretched women!"

Ye Daidi met Mengmeng's gaze, curious and silent, like a well-behaved

invisible person, wishing quietly to meet her nephew and niece in Capital City, though daring not to speak.

Mrs. Lai directed a stern, irritated look at Ye Daidi: "A useless money-squandering creature! What's the point of you to me!"

Ye Daidi...
