Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Didn’t Zhou Hengyang enter the city to earn a living? According to the novel’s description, he soon made his first pot of gold, bought the closed factory, and set up the first Changhe Machinery Factory in the province.

Hehe… In future, if she needed to spend, she could say that it was money from Zhou Hengyang.

Su Wen planned to go to the village the next day to spread the news that Zhou Hengyang had struck it rich in the provincial capital. This way, she could earn and spend openly without fear of being reported by others.

Su Wen turned to return home after she was done thinking about her problem. She happened to see Zhang Chunxiang’s figure hurriedly going down the small path.

When she had first seen Sun Yunyun, she hadn’t thought much of it. Now that she saw Zhang Chunxiang, she couldn’t help but have her thoughts running wild. This path was not the main road to the market. It was only a meter wide and was a winding stone path.

It was the road to Plum Furrow and the mountains.

Su Wen did not return home. She walked to the intersection and waited for Zhang Chunxiang. She wanted to see just how thick-skinned Sun Yunyun and Zhang Chunxiang were. After she transmigrated, she didn’t like Zhao Jiangang as much as the original character, so these two couldn’t sit still.

They were going to Plum Furrow to encourage Zhao Jiangang to take the initiative to attack!

“Second aunt, are you back from visiting relatives?”

“Oh! It’s Wen!” Zhang Chunxiang saw that Su Wen and did not feel the least bit guilty. In her eyes, Su Wen was merely a complete idiot. She was being betrayed and schemed against by others and yet was not aware of it, not learning at all from the shrewdness of her mother.

“Second aunt was visiting a relative, what are you doing here? I haven’t seen you come to my house recently. Are you estranged from Second aunt?” Zhang Chunxiang smiled affectionately. “Come, let’s go to Second aunt’s house.”

“Second aunt, do you have good food at home that you want to share with me?” Su Wen’s eyes were sparkling as she asked.

Zhang Chunxiang almost couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. She was a person who was so stingy that she couldn’t even bear to spare a mouthful of water, let alone food.

“This girl, Second aunt’s family is so poor that we can not even feed a pot. There’s nothing to eat, I’m worried about what to eat tonight!”

“But I heard from Third aunt that your family had meat last night.” Su Wen’s face was filled with envy. “Second aunt, your family is really rich.”

Zhang Chunxiang was so shocked that she jumped on the spot and denied it. “What nonsense are you saying? What do you mean rich? We’re the proletariat and poor farmers, and my family is about to die from poverty.” It was not a good thing to be rich. If they were to have their surpluses confiscated, they would be in big trouble.

“I’m done talking to you. I’m going home to cook.” Zhang Chunxiang left dejectedly. She muttered to herself that this Wen’s mouth had become so venomous. It really wasn’t good. She couldn’t let this kind of scourge continue to prance around.

When Su Wen returned home, little sister Su had already returned from playing outside. She was like a hardworking little bee in the courtyard. She was carrying a bowl and scattering rice bran mixed with chopped wild vegetables on the ground to feed the chickens.

The two roosters and seven to eight hens were circling little sister Su, speedily and happily pecking at the chicken feed on the ground.

Other than the house, these ten chickens were Su Wen’s family’s biggest a.s.set.

The cooking seasonings that they usually used at home were all gotten by selling eggs. Hence, there were eggs at home, but no one could bear to eat them. All the eggs that were laid were kept in the drawer and tallied one by one. They also had to prevent Zhuangzhuang and Niuniu from stealing them.

“Big sister, you’re back?” Little sister Su had just finished feeding the chickens and was about to sweep the chicken p.o.o.p off the ground.

Only then did Su Wen realize that it was to her younger sister’s credit that the courtyard was so clean.

“Yes! I’m back to make dinner.” Su Wen gave her a big smile and praised her, “My little sister is so capable. I’ll make you a delicious meal tonight.”

Little sister Su lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Su Wen. Her face was as red as a beet, and her heart was beating fast.

Big sister had praised her. She, too, was someone of use.
