CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47 IF YOU WANT TO GO, YOU GO

After a full meal and drinks.

Jiang Lei held his belly, feeling so comfortable that he wanted to close his eyes and take a nap.

Anyway, he wasn’t going to work this afternoon, so a nap would be just perfect.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have it.

"Dad, big brother, our cellar has caved in. Since you’re not going to work this afternoon, you’d better dig it out again. Otherwise, we won’t be able to store winter vegetables by winter."

Fan Xiuying was startled. She had just gone to tidy up the cellar today.

"How did it cave in?"

The four of them stood in front of the cellar, and sure enough, there was a large hole in it.

Fan Xiuying drew a sharp breath. If she had been in the cellar today when it collapsed, it would have been a disaster, burying her alive.

"You two, father and son, stop just standing there. Hurry up and get something to fix it. It’s terrifying to see."

Her voice trembled slightly with fear.

Jiang Xiaoxiao watched as her father and third brother resignedly took the shovel and bamboo basket down.

She silently apologized.

There was no other way. She had to give her third brother and dad a reason to take a bath. So when her mother went to shower, she deliberately caused the cellar to collapse.

It’s because I didn’t get much of an education in my past life, not a cultured person.

This brain can’t keep up. Only physical strength can make up for it.

A wild and rough method, but definitely effective.

By the time Jiang Laoshi and Jiang Lei had fixed the cellar, it was already evening.

The two of them were so dirty they couldn’t be seen in public and had to go to the bathhouse for a wash.

However, both of them were surprised. They hadn’t felt fatigued after working all afternoon, not only were they full of energy, but after washing up, they both noticed each other seemed visibly cleaner.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was finally relieved.

It seemed to have the intended effect.

The goods from her space seemingly had significant benefits for the body, although she couldn’t claim they were rejuvenating miracles.

At least they truly invigorated people.

Other effects needed further observation in the future, but for now, visible results were like this.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was a bit looking forward to her future offerings from her space.

Lying in bed that night, she decided to go into the space and pick all the other peaches. The peaches on the tree had matured. If they weren’t picked, how could the tree grow?

As a result, upon entering the space, she discovered a big surprise: there was now a second plot of land.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wandered around the land, pondering how the second plot had appeared. After all, on the first plot, she had planted peach seedlings, and peaches grew soon after. After eating the peaches herself, she hadn’t noticed additional land appearing. But after her father, mother, and third brother all had peaches, this second plot of land showed up.

It was surely unrelated to eating peaches, but was likely related to picking them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate either.

No matter how much she thought, she probably wouldn’t figure it out, so she might as well experiment.

So she picked all the peaches from the trees in the space, waited a long time, but didn’t see a third plot of land appear.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

It seems she hadn’t quite grasped the rules for the space upgrade, but so be it. After all, having one more plot meant an additional place to plant.

This time, she couldn’t act recklessly, planning instead to plant something that’d be harvested in cycles rather than remaining after a single planting.

Not like this peach tree; she couldn’t bear to cut it down once planted, right?

However, she had some seeds ready. The last time, her uncle found quite a few for her.

Why not try planting something else?

This time, Jiang Xiaoxiao was wise.

She absolutely wouldn’t act recklessly.

Planting the peach tree last time gave her a serious lesson. This time, she planted crops that mature in cycles.

No way she would waste her plot of land.

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and planted small cabbages.

This season was just right for harvesting small cabbage. Even when her small cabbages were mature, taking them out wouldn’t be difficult. At the worst, she could claim they were bought from outside.

Without further ado, Jiang Xiaoxiao got to work.

Planted the small cabbages.

Jiang Xiaoxiao soon drifted off to sleep.

The Fang family had already descended into chaos.

Ye Hua was pointing at Fang Xiaohui, cursing.

"Fang Xiaohui, Fang Xiaohui, I didn’t realize. You’re such a two-faced little wretch. You agreed in front of us but turned around and got the Song family to secure you a job. Now it’s all good; the only one left at home is your brother, so he has to go to the countryside. Are you satisfied now? You’ve driven my son to the countryside; are you pleased?"

If Ye Hua wasn’t held back by years of decorum, she really would have torn Fang Xiaohui apart.

Fang Peizhong wore a look of utter despair, "Mom, I’m telling you, I’m not going. My classmates all said that the countryside isn’t fit for anyone. Not only do you have to farm, but you eat the worst food and live in poor conditions.

You might even get bullied. Look at me, if I go, what about my Shakespeare! And you know I want to be a teacher. Didn’t Grandpa promise to ask his old friends for some help?"

Ye Hua looked at her son, heartbroken.

"Fang Xiaohui, I’m telling you. You must go to the countryside. Even if you have a job, you can’t go. It’s a debt you owe our family."

Fang Xiaohui sighed but wasn’t worried about the job. After all, it wasn’t up to Ye Hua to say whether she could go or not.

"Mom, I didn’t know about this either. Mrs. Song did it herself. You know, I asked Mrs. Song to help me get a job at the start. Back then, you didn’t ask me to go to the countryside. I didn’t expect Mrs. Song to get it done these days; how would I know? The job procedures just came through like that.

I was also prepared to replace my brother and go to the countryside myself, but now it’s turned out this way.

Mom and Dad, don’t be upset. Since it’s like this, tomorrow I’ll find Mrs. Song and explain clearly, ask her to help cancel this job. I’ll replace brother and go to the countryside then, is that okay?"

Fang Xiaohui looked all sincere in her helplessness.

Fang Zhiyuan squinted, thinking Ye Hua didn’t know what’s up.

The fact that Mrs. Song could help Fang Xiaohui get a job showed that Fang Xiaohui had already earned a place in the eyes of the Song family.

This was the time to send Fang Xiaohui to the countryside? That’d be slapping the Song family’s face.

In the end, wouldn’t the Fang family be in a difficult spot?

Would that be pleasant to hear or see?

"Alright then, tomorrow she’ll go to the neighborhood committee.

Register with them."

Ye Hua didn’t care. At this point, as long as she could protect her son, she could throw anyone.

She didn’t even think about the Song family.

Fang Zhiyuan coughed.

"What are you talking about? You think you can just join the hospital and leave as you please, who do you think you are? Don’t you know how hard it is to get a job these days? Xiao Hui has a job now, so let her focus on her work and study hard.

Other people’s kids go to the countryside, why can’t ours? Let me tell you, tomorrow I’ll go to the neighborhood committee to register Peizhong. It’s settled: he will go to the countryside."

Fang Xiaohui looked surprised, but inside she was delighted.

She knew very well her cheap old father valued reputation and honor above all.

Daring to do this was based on the foresight of anticipated outcomes and she guessed the conclusion; no matter how Ye Hua made a fuss, Fang Zhiyuan was still in charge at home.

"What are you saying? Fang Zhiyuan, you’re still insisting your son go to the countryside? Are you really his father? Have you any humanity! This is your son, I’m telling you, no way! I don’t agree! If anyone goes, you should go yourself! My son won’t!"
