Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1067: The Female Prime Minister (Part 5)

Yin Shuangshuang knew her father, Yin Zheng, had a good skill at carpentry.

Her father went to the city every winter for short-term work, relying on this carpentry skill, earning more than others and doing lighter work, but she didn’t expect how her father’s skill was acquired.

Yin Shuangshuang felt upset in her heart, feeling sorry for her father, even if there was favoritism, this degree was too extreme. Yin Shuangshuang pondered that in the future, she must find a way to break away from this kind of family.

Otherwise, when she improves the family’s life, raising a few bloodsuckers would be a small matter, just spending some money, and things that can be solved with money are not big problems.

The troublesome thing is, Yin Shuangshuang has very big plans for the future, she has a shockingly unconventional idea for this era.

Once her idea succeeds, she fears that the family’s disgraceful members might use her name to do something bad, which would lead to big troubles.

But the separation should not be initiated by her own family, it’s best if the other side initiates it and voluntarily breaks off relations with her family, so her family can stand on the moral high ground.

After all, reputation in this era is bigger than heaven; even if a person universally disliked by the village has done nothing wrong, it’s considered wrong, to the extent of collective punishment by villagers.

Therefore, living in this era requires safeguarding reputation, preventing anyone from speaking ill, just thinking about it feels troublesome.

Yin Zheng said he wanted to figure out a way to go to the county, Yin Shuangshuang told Yin Zheng that she also wanted to go to the county, mainly to see if she could find a stable jewelry shop for transactions.

Yin Zheng always fulfilled his daughter’s requests, his mind was quick, and his eyes turned as he thought of a good plan.

Yin Zheng directly ran to Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao, making a fuss about taking his daughter to the county for medical treatment, shamelessly rolling around, insisting that Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao give money. Naturally, they refused, pointing at Yin Zheng and cursing him.

Yin Zheng didn’t care, insistently saying he wanted to take Yin Shuangshuang for treatment, demanding money from them. Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao helpless against this shameless son, finally could only frown and let Yin Zheng leave.

If he wanted to get medicine for his daughter, he had to find a way to raise money himself. The couple had no money and wouldn’t give it even if they did.

Yin Zheng got up from the ground, took three steps forward and looked back three times, unwillingly leaving Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao’s room, returning to his own small home.

As soon as he entered the house, the worry, anger, and reluctance on Yin Zheng’s face were gone, revealing a radiant smile, proudly saying to Mrs. Wang and Yin Shuangshuang waiting inside the house, ”It’s done.”

Mrs. Wang immediately showed a smile, praising Yin Zheng to Yin Shuangshuang, ”Your father is truly cunning, only he has the means to make this work.

If it were me trying to accomplish this, I wouldn’t have the skills to get your grandfather and grandmother to allow you two to go to the county.”

Yin Zheng’s face was full of pride, unable to resist showing off to his daughter, ”Your father is very clever, first asking your grandparents to pay for your medicine, of course, they wouldn’t, so when I made a fuss, they shouted for me to leave and ignored our trip to the county.

If I had directly said I wanted to take you to the county, your grandparents certainly wouldn’t agree. Now they can’t wait for us to go to the county, just as long as we don’t ask them for money, doing things requires strategy, employing different tactics for different people.”

Yin Shuangshuang laughed in admiration, completely unbothered to flatter Yin Zheng, ”Dad, you’re amazing, your daughter thinks there’s nothing in this world that could stump you.”

Before heading to the county, Yin Zheng first moved the golden hairpins his daughter made while the family was unaware, having Mrs. Wang use the excuse of going to the field to pick vegetables as a reason to leave and watch.

Then Yin Zheng left the house empty-handed, taking Yin Shuangshuang with him. As they were leaving the house, Old Master Yin, Mrs. Zhao, Yin Cheng, and Mrs. Feng looked Yin Zheng up and down, checking if he had taken anything to sell at the county.

Yin Zheng carried nothing but had an empty basket for medicine, every time he bought medicine for Yin Shuangshuang, it was full, so the family was used to it.

Seeing Yin Zheng carrying Yin Shuangshuang as they left, Mrs. Feng, leaning on the doorway and cracking sunflower seeds, sneered sourly, ”Such a sickly child, they treat like a treasure.

All year round, they don’t know how much medicine money is being spent on this worthless daughter. Dad and Mom are too easygoing, letting the second family accumulate so much private savings.

If you ask me, Dad and Mom should make the second family hand over all this money, putting it in the public pool. It’s outrageous to have private savings when parents are alive.”

Early in the morning, the whole family gathered in the main room because it was the place to eat, and Mrs. Feng said this at the door, intending for the people inside to hear, but unfortunately, nobody responded.

Old Master Yin and Mrs. Zhao had thought about the second son Yin Zheng’s private savings, but if they dared to touch it, Yin Zheng dared not to go out to earn money, then borrowed money from the whole village to buy medicine for his daughter.

This family-style life had the rule of no private savings with parents around, but similarly, if any child among several owed a debt, it was considered a family debt to be repaid by the whole family.

Being manipulated by Yin Zheng, the family ended up losing a full two taels of silver. Old Master Yin, furious, wanted to beat Yin Zheng, but Yin Zheng escaped throughout the village, making a fool of himself while also tarnishing Old Master Yin’s reputation, since his favoritism was too excessive.

Although parents show favoritism, especially between children, daughters are like grass while sons are treasures, such extreme favoritism between sons is rare.

Mrs. Zhao displeased with her second son going out again to buy medicine for that worthless daughter, and listening to Mrs. Feng’s words worsened her mood.

Mrs. Zhao, for the first time, showed no good face to Mrs. Feng, ”Your mouth can’t shut while you’re eating, haven’t you seen your sister-in-law working, instead of gossiping, go and help your sister-in-law with the fire.”

Mrs. Zhao felt she was biased enough toward Mrs. Feng, only asking her to do the easy task of stoking the fire.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Feng, used to not working, suddenly being urged by Mrs. Zhao to work, actually grew a grudge against Mrs. Zhao in her heart.

Mrs. Hu, who was cooking, looked at Mrs. Feng’s unwillingness to help, showing no expression outwardly, but internally she despised Mrs. Feng for this act.

Did Mrs. Feng think everyone was an idiot, trying to incite others as tools?

With the bias towards the third couple from the in-laws, even if others were true idiots and helped with the money issue, offending the second family wouldn’t benefit themselves, the money would fall into the hands of the third couple, who would want to do such foolish things.

This little family squabble wasn’t known to Yin Shuangshuang and Yin Zheng who had already left, the father and daughter were currently sitting on an ox cart heading to the county.
