A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 537
After Xiao Fangfei and Xiao Fu's mother and daughter hired a car to escape from Huining City, they walked for two days and returned to Xiao Fangfei's hometown, a small town far away from Huining City.

Concubine Xiao's natal family used to run a small business in the town, and lived in poverty.But side concubine Xiao is very graceful, she was a famous flower in the small town when she was young.

Just because she was beautiful and able to talk back, she was favored by the elders of the distant relatives of the Liang clan, and she was taken to serve by Princess Liang's side. After entering the palace, she took the opportunity to climb into King Zhenbei's bed.

After being favored, she offended Princess Liang, and the Xiao family also completely severed ties with the Liang family.Side Concubine Xiao lived a prosperous life in the palace, and she did not give back to her natal family.But because her natal family was so vulgar and unworthy of the public, she gave them enough money without taking them to Huining City for resettlement.Let them live comfortably, build a new big mansion, and become the leading wealthy family in the town.

But since King Zhenbei's accident happened, Concubine Xiao's contact with her family has decreased.

Firstly, the Wangfu's management is strict, and secondly, she has no rewards, and her money is tight.Later, she was kicked out to live in another hospital for a few months, and she was completely cut off from her family.

However, Concubine Xiao knew that her family lived a good life because of her. Now that she came back, she took it for granted that her family would warmly welcome her and treat her as a benefactor.

The mother and daughter got out of the carriage and walked straight to the largest and best house in the town, thinking that it was Xiao's house.

"Who, who are you looking for?"

Unexpectedly, he was stopped at the door.

"Isn't this the Xiao Mansion?"

Concubine Xiao said something casually, raised her head subconsciously, and was immediately dumbfounded.

The plaque on the door is not Xiao's house at all, but Zhang's house.

Which family is the Zhang family, do you not know it?

Concubine Xiao didn't understand for a while, so she hurriedly asked: "Where is the Xiao family, which is the richest in the town?"

The gatekeeper saw that the mother and daughter were born with delicate skin and tender flesh, and the clothes they wore were all extraordinary. It seemed that they came out of the noble mansion.When I asked about the Xiao family again, I understood it instantly, and looked at them with respect instantly: "You are from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, are you relatives of the Xiao family?"

"Of course!"

It seemed that the news about Huining City hadn't spread to this small town yet, and Concubine Xiao immediately puffed up her chest, assuming her usual superior posture.

"Oh, Boss Xiao lost money in a bet and sold this house to my master, and now their family lives in the east of the town." The gatekeeper replied respectfully, and took the initiative to say: "I'm afraid you won't be able to find them when you come here." Here, I will take you there."

"okay!"

Concubine Xiao nodded, completely oblivious to the frowning of Xiao Fu behind her.

This small town is really poor, the whole town has only one decent stone road, and other places are muddy, so dirty!The houses of ordinary residents on the side are not even as good as the servants' rooms in the palace.

And my uncle turned out to be a gambler, even if he could lose such a large house by gambling, he must be a person who gambles too much and doesn't care about his relatives.Coming to join this uncle, I'm afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

But I've been in a hurry for two days and I'm too tired. Now that I'm here, let's take a look at the situation first!

Xiao Fu followed her mother's footsteps, and subconsciously tightly hugged the bag in her arms, which contained all her current property, so she must not lose it.

The mother and daughter followed the kind-hearted gatekeeper of the Zhang family, walked down the stone road into the dirt alley, trudged through the snow for almost a stick of incense, and then stopped in front of a bungalow courtyard.

It's a good thing it's not a mud yard, thank God.

Looking at the half-old red brick house and the yard paved with gravel, Xiao Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is Mrs. Xiao!" The gatekeeper nodded and bowed to the mother and daughter.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Fu habitually reached out and rewarded him with two copper coins.

Sure enough, it's a nobleman from Huining City. If you lead the way, you can be rewarded with dozens of pennies. Fortunately, I'm smart!
The gatekeeper happily took the money and left.

At this time, the people in the yard also heard the commotion outside, a middle-aged woman wearing a bulky cotton jacket came out curiously and asked, "Who are you?"

The next moment, her eyes with crow's feet widened instantly, she stared closely at Concubine Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, why are you back?"

Surprised eyes passed over Concubine Xiao and landed on Xiao Fu's face, and the mouth was so wide open that it could almost stuff an egg into it.She didn't go out to greet her right away, but turned around in a hurry and shouted: "The child's father, Shiro, Xiaoni, come out quickly! The side concubine is here!"

After shouting, all the doors in the yard opened immediately, a middle-aged man half-clothed with a wretched expression came out first, followed by a boy and a girl.

The middle-aged man in his forties looks dry and thin like a skeleton, his face is yellow and gray; Xiao Fu was reluctant to leave when she lived there, and she showed a lustful look, and she was not an honest person at first sight.

The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, she looked much younger than Xiao Fu, she was the first one to meet her, and she said in a crisp voice: "Is your aunt and aunt back? Who is this elder sister? You are exhausted from the journey, let me help you." You take something."

As she spoke, she reached out to the burden in Xiao Fu's arms with both hands.

Xiao Fu took a step back subconsciously, bit her lip and looked at the family in front of her tightly, her heart was completely chilled, she wished she could pull side concubine Xiao to turn around and leave immediately.

This family is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and she really regrets coming here.

Boss Xiao was stunned for a while when he saw the girl who had been married to the palace for many years and enjoyed good fortune suddenly appeared in front of him. He rolled his eyes a few times, and happily clapped his hands to greet him, and asked, "Good girl, why are you back at this time?" gone?"

"It's hard to say! Brother, let's go into the room and talk."

Concubine Xiao was exhausted from running all the way, and she was really tired, so she replied weakly.

"Okay, okay, go into the room and say, you are a nobleman, you can't catch cold, what's next?"

In the past, when Concubine Liang was there, Boss Xiao would not dare to enter the palace when he went to Huining City to get money, but later he got used to it and stopped going. It was Concubine Xiao who sent people to bring money back, so he never saw Xiao Fu.

At this moment, he looked at the niece in front of him suspiciously, knowing it in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.

"She's Fu'er, Fu'er, call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle!"

Under the urging of her mother, Xiao Fu reluctantly called out.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Fu'er to be a big girl, go into the house!"

Boss Xiao urged with a chuckle. After the two entered the yard, he was still standing at the door, stretching his neck and looking hard at the road.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing that her brother didn't accompany her, Concubine Xiao asked a little unhappy.

"Why are you two coming back naked, where is the car from the palace?" Boss Xiao looked at the empty road outside, and then at the dusty appearance of the mother and daughter. There wasn't even a servant girl around her. His expression immediately became suspicious.
