Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Ye Jiaxing..., indeed, I guessed correctly, he intends to develop long-term in the Capital City, isn't that even more to my liking?

"Ha ha, Steward Li, our family is simple, just me and my parents. My father and I will be going to the Capital first to find a place to settle down, and once we have a place to live, we can also bring my mother over. Following the boss and the housekeeper, we'll make a fortune!"

Li Zhihao..., this young man has so many thoughts, could it be he had prepared this act a long time ago?

Could he also be thinking about my niece? He doesn't look like the ignorant type, or could this kid be sly and cunning?

It's really hard to see the character of this kid, should he be trusted?

Could he be a hidden trouble causing my brother-in-law future problems? Human hearts are separated by stomach walls, one must be cautious; anyone is capable of betrayal, so it's better to have the staff sign a contract!

"Don't be so naive, working is hard, and we have no foundation in the Capital City. Even our lodging isn't settled yet, you have to think it through, we are going to sign a contract.

It's not too late to back out now, you should still discuss it with your family. However, we are setting off before dawn tomorrow, so make your decision quickly!"

After hearing Li Zhihao's words, Ye Jiaxing indeed needed to go home to talk to his parents, and also needed time to pack his luggage.

"Housekeeper Li, if you don't trust me, I'll go home now to fetch my father, and we can sign the contract together."

Li Zhihao nodded, waved his hand to dismiss him, and also had to prepare contracts for those who were going to follow them to Shangjing. Signing a contract in black and white would hold them accountable for any future wrongdoing or if they decided they didn't want to work anymore.

The most difficult are the local folks; if new people grasp this point, it could really deliver a heavy blow to them.

Having obtained Li Zhihao's approval, Ye Jiaxing quickly ran out of the estate, but was stopped by someone at the gate, and that person was Brother Lai!

Ye Jiaxing..., I'm very busy, you damn nuisance, why are you so annoying? I'm in a rush and you choose now to stop me, what a hassle!

"Hey, kid, you're not working here, what are you doing here? Are you here to steal something?"

Brother Lai had actually seen Ye Jiaxing enter the estate earlier when there was nothing amiss, and had turned a blind eye. But now things were different.

This was a critical moment for going to the Capital City. Everyone wanted a spot to go to the Capital City. This damned kid had already gone to work in a factory, could he also have this intention?

He slightly regretted not watching the gate earlier, not allowing strangers in, keeping them from seeing Li Zhihao.

He hadn't paid attention earlier to whether he had seen Li Zhihao, could it be that he had already gotten Li Zhihao's approval?

Ye Jiaxing..., it's you who's the thief, the most annoying person, who here likes you?

Relying on an elder sister who's a concubine married to an old man, we rely on our own industrious labor, not the same as a rotten person like you.

He shifted his gaze; he had no time to argue with such a person, nor to speak the truth, so he could only deceive him!

"Brother Lai, I had some business with a fellow villager. Oh, Brother Lai, did you need something from me? Otherwise, lend me some money, I'll earn and pay you back!"

Brother Lai listened to Ye Jiaxing's words with half belief.

Then, hearing the latter's request to borrow money, he realized why this kid came here in the dead of night with a plan in mind, looking to borrow money from him—no way, I also want to borrow money, the kind that doesn't have to be repaid!

"Pah, I want to borrow money myself. You look like no good bird, let me see if you've stolen anything."

Ye Jiaxing dodged his search and bounced in front of him, "Brother Lai, you're not like that, are you? Using an excuse to search me, do you want to undress me?"

Brother Lai kicked out, "You little rascal, I have a wife and kids. You're the one who's always up to no good, get lost!"

Ye Jiaxing hurriedly ran away, while still waving his hand and calling back, "Brother Lai, I really think you kinda like that, hahaha!"

"You stinky brat, don't run!" Brother Lai pretended to chase him for a few steps. In such hot weather, he didn't even want to walk two steps, simply wanting to scare the boy.

Ye Jiaxing sprinted quickly, with moonlight shining on the country road in the black night. All that could be heard were the sounds of his footsteps.

And the noise of the insects in the fields, for which he had no mood to appreciate.

His heart was racing, this choice would determine the rest of his life, and he didn't regret the decision one bit. Instead, he saw it as an opportunity, a chance to get out of the mountains.

He ran home as fast as he could, what took others ten minutes by foot, he made in five, as speedy as a bicycle.

By the time he got there, he was drenched in sweat, his hair and forehead dripping wet. He didn't bother to wipe it off and hastily entered his home, where lights were already on.

His parents had cooked dinner, set the table, and without picking up their chopsticks to eat, they were cooling themselves with fans, clearly waiting for him to return home for dinner.

"Son, you're home? Why are you so sweaty? Let me get a towel to wipe it off for you!" Ye Jiaxing's mother was very fond of her only son.

"You finished work ages ago, right? Why are you so late? What have you been doing?"

Ye Jiaxing's father bombarded him with questions, worrying that his son had done something foolish, for he hadn't come home after inquiring with his companions and had no idea where he had been!

In an adrenaline-fueled state, seeing his parents made Ye Jiaxing feel even warmer, and he began to sweat more in the somewhat stifling heat of the house; hurriedly, he looked for a cup to drink some water.

"Son, wipe your sweat off!" Ye Jiaxing's mother said, as she took a towel to wipe his sweat away.

After taking a drink of water and feeling a bit better, Ye Jiaxing then said to his father:

"Dad, let's go..." He said, reaching for his father's hand.

"What are you doing? Don't be so rash, explain yourself properly first. After a whole day of hard, hot work, shouldn't we eat something first to get our strength back?"

Ye Jiaxing's father seemed to sense that his son had made some kind of decision.

In his heart, he guessed that Li Zhihao had been talking about transporting goods to Capital City with some people in the past few days. He had found out but didn't apply, and he dared not tell his son.

He feared his son would make a rash decision upon hearing the news and didn't want him to decide impulsively in the heat of the moment.

"Dad, I talked to Li Zhihao. The two of us, father and son, will follow him to transport grain to Capital City, and then we'll work as staff there and develop our lives in Capital City."

Ye Jiaxing was indeed hungry, so after speaking, he didn't wait for his father's consent and started to eat, wolfing down his food as if there was no time to spare!

"Why bother, son? Isn't it good enough that we work well at home?"

Ye Jiaxing's father was an old farmer at heart, not as open-minded, believing that earning money at home was already a good life and doubting if life could be as good elsewhere.

After all, this was their home.

"Son, if you and your dad go to Capital City, what about me?" Ye Jiaxing's mother's biggest concern was that they would struggle outside, and she would worry at home!
