The Little Lucky Treasure of the Farmhouse Leads the Whole Village to Victory

Tang Qiqi, a top student from an agricultural academy, transmigrated into a poverty-stricken farmhouse family. Her father's whereabouts were unknown due to war, leaving only her grandmother and...

Chapter 4 Becomes a Laughingstock

That night, all seven children of the Tang family, including Tang Qiqi, slept exceptionally soundly.

Wang and Xu Lanzhi, however, tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Wang was still in disbelief, wondering what kind of incredible luck her family had had to give birth to such a lucky little star.

She was secretly relieved that she hadn't let Chun Ya drown the child today.

Xu Lanzhi listened to the baby's even breathing beside her, but felt very uneasy.

Her mother-in-law said the child was a lucky star, and she was naturally happy. However, the child was so young, and Xu Lanzhi was worried that this might affect the child's good fortune. But she didn't dare to tell her mother-in-law about this.

She sighed helplessly, gently patted the baby in her arms, and murmured to herself, "My child, you must grow up well!"

The next morning, the Tang family was bustling with activity as Wang Shi and her six granddaughters were threshing wheat in the threshing ground behind the house.

Wang used to think her husband was useless, even building a house in such a remote place. Now she thinks this place is really good, far from the main village, a secluded house, and the backyard is even more deserted. If she dries wheat here, no one will find her.

The young girls were all used to farm work, and the three older girls, Zhaodi, Yindi, and Jiedi, were especially good at it. The whole family worked together in an orderly manner.

Xu Lanzhi had given birth to seven children. She wasn't being coy and got up to start a fire and cook. Her mother-in-law had put away some of the steamed buns, and she planned to break them up and dry them in the sun to eat slowly.

When they got to the kitchen, they found that there was more rice and flour inside.

Xu Lanzhi hurriedly ran to tell her mother-in-law. The two women were much calmer now, and they quickly hid the grain.

Wang looked at Xu Lanzhi's chest and asked, "Has your milk come in yet?"

Xu Lanzhi shrank back nervously: "No!"

Wang's face showed displeasure: "Sigh, those useless things of yours, why don't I just kill the pheasant I caught yesterday and make soup for you, see if it can help with lactation, we can't let our little Fu Bao go hungry!"

Xu Lanzhi said tremblingly, "Mother, my first six children also didn't have enough breast milk, so let's not waste that hen. I think it looks like it's about to brood, so why don't we hatch those eggs? That way we can make a living! And Xiao Bao can still drink milk, can't he?"

Wang had actually been planning to do the same thing, but since her little granddaughter was now the apple of her eye, she had to steel herself and give up the chicken.

Xu Lanzhi, this daughter-in-law, is quite good except for not being able to give birth to a son.

Wang said, "That's fine, but you can't feed the chickens with grain. From now on, we'll have Sidi, Niandi, and Pandi go outside to dig up earthworms to feed them!"

Xu Lanzhi smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Mother is so thoughtful, and there's more..."

Wang was furious at her timid and hesitant manner. She said coldly, "Speak your mind, or shut up. If you keep cowering like this, I'll eat you alive!"

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Xu Lanzhi mustered her courage and said, "Mother, it's not wheat harvesting season yet. In my opinion, the reason you picked up the ears of wheat and the old hen first was because our Fu Bao did it on purpose. He's bringing us seeds and chicks. Otherwise, why would he have taken the buns and grain?"

Upon hearing this, Wang realized that this was not the case. With spring planting approaching, she was worried about not having enough seeds, and Xu Lanzhi's words reminded her of the problem.

Wang immediately decided to keep all the dried wheat ears as seeds and send some to her three daughters' families later.

As for why Wang discovered a wheat field instead of wheat ears, it was entirely because Tang Qiqi was unfamiliar with spatial manipulation and accidentally moved the wheat field from the experimental field.

Thinking that she couldn't finish the wheat in a short time, she went to great lengths to get the steamed buns and grain.

As for the cow, that was entirely for her own benefit. Even if Xu Lanzhi had milk, let alone not having it, she couldn't bring herself to drink breast milk directly, even though she had the mindset of a 24-year-old!

It's pitiful that she's so small, yet she has to worry so much about the whole family. Now she's exhausted and fast asleep!

Wang and Xu Lanzhi got right to work. They built a chicken coop with dry grass and let the black hen hatch chicks. They dried the freshly harvested wheat grains and stored them away.

Wang continued to let Xu Lanzhi stay home to take care of the children, while she herself took Zhaodi, Yindi, and Jiedi to the fields.

When it comes to farming, timing is crucial; if the season is missed, the harvest will be greatly reduced.

The eldest daughter, Zhaodi, was only twelve years old, Yindi was ten, and Jiedi was nine. They were all little children. Only Wang was considered a full-time laborer, and even in the fields, she was the object of ridicule from the whole village.

The news that Xu Lanzhi had given birth to another daughter had already spread like wildfire throughout the village. Many gossipy women wanted to ridicule Wang Shi, but Wang Shi was known for her shrewishness, so no one dared to come to her door to cause trouble these past few days.

But on this day, seeing Wang Shi digging the ground with several maids, Zhang Dazui, who had come to bring food to her husband and son, could no longer hold back.

She said with a big smile, "Sister-in-law Wang, digging the ground? Looking around, there are so many people in your field. Your daughter-in-law is so lucky. She can stay home and rest while her mother-in-law comes to dig the ground. She must be about to give birth soon. You're sure to be holding your grandson right now!"

Knowing that Zhang Dazui was deliberately mocking her, Wang was displeased. Without looking up, she said, "What I have to worry about is none of your business. You have a son, but you're over twenty and still haven't found a wife. You should worry about yourself!"

When Wang said this, the onlookers burst into laughter.

Aunt Zhang, having had her secret exposed and ridiculed by everyone, was already losing face. She yelled, "What are you so smug about? Your only son might have died on the road. Don't think I don't know, your daughter-in-law gave birth to another girl. Your Tang family is finished!"

When Wang heard Zhang Dazui cursing her son, she could no longer tolerate it. She grabbed a hoe and swung it at Zhang Dazui.

He continued cursing, "Open your mouth wide! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover! You're usually so outspoken, but cursing my son? I'll fight you to the death today!"

Upon seeing this, the big-mouthed creature took off running, spilling all the thin porridge in the basket.

Seeing that Zhang Dazui had run far away, Wang stopped chasing him. She just said with a gloomy face, "My family has had another daughter, but my Tang family has never come to your house to beg for food. If I hear anyone gossiping behind my back again, I'll chop them up with a hoe!"

After Wang finished speaking, she picked up her hoe and went back to digging.

No one dared to say anything more, and they all went back to their own fields to work.

Liu, who had just joined in the fun, couldn't hide her smile. "Having a daughter is wonderful! I've been waiting for this day. It's a blessing from God. Don't be fooled by Wang's arrogance now; in a few days, she'll be begging me for help!"
