The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 250 Buying a Carriage

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Xiaoning's busiest task was to accompany her mother to the city time and time again to buy things needed for the new house.

Looking at the completely changed Fang residence, she said, "Mother, this winter, you won't have to suffer from the cold anymore."

Zhao touched her eyes. "It's all because of you, Xiao Ning. I never thought I'd be able to live in such a nice house in my whole life." All she ever wanted was to have a full meal.

"Things will get better in the future. Mom is so capable now, and you keep Dad under your thumb."

“Your dad has changed a lot. If it were before, he would let me manage him, but if I nag him, he would probably throw a punch.”

"Life is better now, and people have something to look forward to. Mother, maybe Father will pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, so you can become a scholar's wife."

Zhao smiled and said, "I don't have such great ambitions. I just want my family to be safe and sound."

Fang Xiaoning didn't know whether to agree or not, but she felt that her adoptive father was capable and that they could study together. To be honest, her father's aptitude was truly the best among them.

The children are not bad either. They have all come from hardship and know that opportunities are hard-won, so they study with all their might.

Her dad is the most irresponsible one, yet he also has the best grades. Sometimes it's infuriating; talent is something that can't be made up for by hard work.

"Xiao Ning, everything's packed. We'll move back tomorrow." Finally, she had a home of her own. Zhao Shi was overjoyed; she was satisfied with every part of the house. Only, she was a little disappointed that her daughter couldn't live with her.

"Okay, I'll have the family car bring the things over tomorrow."

As evening fell, Song Feng and Fang Youcai returned home in a horse-drawn carriage.

The horse was tall and powerful, and the carriage behind it was as big as one and a half mule carts; it was incredibly imposing.

In an instant, the entire Zaoshu Village was in an uproar once again.

After acquiring the village's first mule cart, the Song family now owns a horse-drawn carriage. How do they manage to have so much money left over?

The Song family truly lived a life of luxury that others could only dream of, like landlords!

Behind Song Feng, a long line of adults and children followed.

Horse-drawn carriages are rare, not only in villages but also in towns.

What a prestigious thing it would be to ride in one of these carriages!

Fang Xiaoning, holding the child, glanced inside the car. It was spacious, and the seats were large—not bad.

It will be really convenient to go into the city from now on.

The children at home were the most excited. The carriage! They would be the coolest kids in the whole village when they played in the carriage.

They are already the most enviable kids in the whole village, and they will be even more so in the future! It's wonderful to even think about.

"How much silver does the carriage cost?" Su was still most worried about the silver.

"Fifty taels."

Su Shi, Song Xiaogu, and Zhao Shi all gasped simultaneously, looking at Song Feng as if he were a spendthrift. Wasn't a mule cart enough? Why buy a horse-drawn carriage?

It's just sitting there unused, yet we still have to feed it; it's a complete waste of money.

Fifty taels is enough to build a nice house.

Fang Xiaoning didn't know what they were thinking. "From now on, let's not stay at home all the time. Let's ride in a carriage together, go out and play, and wander around."

Apart from Song Xiaogu, the two women were also attracted to each other. Song Chunni's only thought now was to make money, buy land, build houses, and pay for her son's tuition so he wouldn't be able to continue studying for free, and to save up for her daughter's dowry.

"Honey, how's it? Not bad, right?"

Fang Youcai and Song Feng brought this carriage back together, and he was increasingly satisfied and fond of it the more he looked at it. It was just a pity that he couldn't afford it.

"Great! Dad has good taste!"

Fang Youcai became increasingly smug. What would happen to his daughter's family without his help?

The next day, the Fang family began making preparations for moving.

Everyone was quite reluctant to see them go. The two families living together was really lively. The kids had playmates, and the adults had them too.

Especially Su Shi, she loved chatting with Zhao Shi the most.

If you ask who's the happiest, it's Fang Youcai. Moving is great! His house is so impressive, the most magnificent in the whole village. But ever since he moved in, he can only look at his wife, not touch her, which is driving this hot-blooded young man crazy.

And then there's his in-laws, who are like babies, always clinging to his wife, chatting all day and all night. His wife only comes back to the room after he's asleep, which seriously affects their relationship. I just can't understand why they have so much to say.

He must be really lonely; I suppose the son-in-law wouldn't mind having a stepfather.

His only regret was losing Fang Xiaoning's cooking skills. But his wife had also been learning to cook from their daughter for a while, so she probably wouldn't be too bad.
