Farming Space Makes Me Rich

When Xiao Lingyu said that she wanted to stay at home and farm, Mother Xiao was shocked.

She asked in surprise, “You want to farm?”

Then, she immediately disagreed, “No! You’re a famous university student, why would you stay at home to farm? Don’t you know how tiring farming is? We put in so much effort to send you to university, and you want to come back home to farm?” Mother Xiao denied this ridiculous idea.

Xiao Lingyu was a graduate of a prestigious university. She could find a job in a big city easily. The salary might be small, but it was still better than working in the dirt all day.

Father Xiao looked at the stubborn pair of mother and daughter. He sighed, “Dear, don’t jump to conclusions. Let the girl finish first.”

Xiao Lingye immediately nodded. “That’s right, mother. Let sister finish first!”

Mother Xiao said, “No matter what, I will not agree to have her abandon her job in the city and come back home to farm!” Father Xiao persuaded, “Dear…”

Mother Xiao glanced at her husband, and she sighed. “Fine. Yu ‘Er, tell us what is your plan.”

Xiao Lingyu took a deep breath and said, “Mom, you might not know this, but I’m not happy in the big city at all!”

Mother Xiao was surprised. “But why?”

Xiao Lingyu said openly, “Working in the big city might be glamorous in the eyes of the villagers. Supposedly they earn high wages, have beautiful dresses, and so on. However, the big city is also where people scheme against each other.

“Every year, there are a large number of university graduates entering the work field. Competition is very strong. Every position is coveted. Competition within the company is very intense. If it is fair competition, then it is fine. However, it is never fair. People will use the most despicable means to bring down others for them to rise.”

Xiao Lingyu carefully observed Mother Xiao’s expression. Mother Xiao was frowning slightly. Xiao Lingyu continued, “And that is only competition between colleagues. The most terrifying thing is the power difference for people of varying status.

“For example, Zhao Wenman is the daughter of a big company’s CEO. It was why she could seduce Chen Ran easily.

“But mom, that is how the rich operate. After Zhao Wenman got Chen Ran, she should be satisfied. However, the horrible thing is Zhao Wenman didn’t hesitate to harm me because she was the daughter of the company CEO.

“Mom, if I didn’t have the help of someone even more powerful than Zhao Wenman,” Xiao Lingyu paused, “I would really be framed and my reputation ruined. So, mom…” Xiao Lingyu held her mother’s hand and said seriously, “Mom, I don’t want to work in a big city anymore. The stress is too high and the people impossible to deal with. Therefore, I decided to come back to farm to take a break.”

After hearing the mental trauma her daughter had suffered, Mother Xiao’s heart softened. She also hated Chen Ran even more for hurting her daughter. Mother Xiao was not against her daughter staying to help around the farm for a small period. However, Xiao Lingyu couldn’t stay and farm for the rest of her life!

Mother Xiao said, “Yu ‘Er, if you want to take a breather, you can go on a vacation. You don’t need to stay and farm!”

Father Xiao and Brother Xiao nodded in agreement.

‘It looks like I have to take drastic measures.’ Xiao Lingyu admitted, “Mom, I’ve told you about the big shot who helped me take revenge on Chen Ran, right?”

Mama Xiao nodded, and then she looked at her daughter with a slightly puzzled expression.

Xiao Lingyu sighed and said, “Actually, the man helped me because he took a fancy to me.” Yan Siming had not said that explicitly but his hints were clear. Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to bring this up, but she had no other choice. She whispered an apology to Yan Siming internally. She had to use him again.

Xiao Lingyu’s family was instantly shocked.

Mother Xiao pinched Xiao Lingyu’s ear and said angrily, “You just say you weren’t hiding anything else from us. So, where did this come from? Why are you always trying to scare your mother like this?”

Xiao Lingyu’s expression was twisted from being pinched. “Mom, Mom, it Hurts!”

Xiao Lingye felt sorry for his sister and tried to persuade his mother. “Mom, you need to let go. Look at Sis’ painful expression.”

Mother Xiao loosened the grip on Xiao Lingyu’s ear. Mother Xiao raised her voice to ask, “So what is the deal with this big shot?”

Xiao Lingyu had to explain everything again. She grabbed a random man off the streets. Xiao Lingyu was unclear why the man had agreed to help her.

Xiao Lingyu said honestly, “At first, I didn’t know why he helped me. Eventually, he revealed that he was interested in me, so he helped take revenge on Chen Ran and the people who harmed me.”

Mother Xiao asked sharply, “Then did you promise him anything in return?” At this point, Mother Xiao warned, “Xiao Lingyu, if you have promised to be that man’s mistress or something, I’d break your leg!”

In Mother Xiao’s mind, Young Master Yan was a dirty old man who was already married.

Mother Xiao didn’t realize that Xiao Lingyu wouldn’t have found an old man to pretend to be her one-night-stand. She was too angry to care about that detail.

Xiao Lingyu shook her head. “No. He’s the most valuable bachelor in City Z. He’s young and powerful.”

Mother Xiao felt relieved. She ordered, “Continue!”

Xiao Lingyu said carefully, “That man expressed his interest in me, but I rejected him. But he didn’t give up, so I decided to come back home to hide. Hopefully, with some time, he’ll back off.”

Xiao Lingyu was also banking on the eventual arrival of Xiao Tong. By then, she would have a valid excuse to stay.

Father Xiao thought for a moment and told his wife, “Dear, let the girl do whatever she wants. Perhaps, after a while, she’ll get bored and go back to the city.”

Mother Xiao pondered and replied, “Fine.”
