Everyone Wants to Pamper the Peasant Girl - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: The Fu Family is Getting Lucky

“Could it be that the fortune-teller, who didn’t seem very reliable, was right?” Old Mrs Fu was skeptical.

That fortune-teller had said that the Fu family’s yin energy1 were not harmonious and imbalanced. If the yang energy was too strong, it would be disadvantageous to the family.

If the imbalance continued, the family would eventually become even more unlucky and poor. This would even be passed down for generations.

However, if there was a girl born in the family, their luck would change drastically and they would prosper in the future.

They had never taken what he said to heart.

This was because his fortune-telling had been inaccurate. He had said that he could live till 99 years old, yet he drowned in the stream and died before he even reached 60 years old.

Hence they didn’t take it seriously.

Mdm Fu also had an impression of this matter. However, she had given birth to her daughter not for the purpose of changing their luck, but to challenge the Fu Family’s unbreakable destiny of only having sons.

Mdm Fu asked, “Mother, are you sure about that? Could Fubao really be our family’s lucky star?”

She couldn’t help but shift her gaze to look at Fu Xing’er who was on the bed. She didn’t know whether their luck would change. However, the entire family was already overjoyed by the very fact that her daughter was born.

Fu Daxing and Fu Erxing walked in and said excitedly, “Mother, Little Sister must be our lucky star. Ever since she was born, there have been so many good things happening to the family.”

They had always been unlucky. If anything would fall around them from the sky, it had to be bird poop. They had never encountered pigeons falling in front of them until today.

“Yes, I usually take a few days to recover when I’m sick. However, I recovered especially quickly this time because I wanted to quickly be well enough to work and bring back food for our little sister. That was what helped me to overcome the trauma in my heart so quickly.” Fu Erxing added, believing that it was because of Fu Xing’er too.

When he thought of his little sister, he felt a wave of strength and fearlessness fill his body.

“Also, there was more. Remember who we managed to save today? Minister Wang said that he would visit us in the next two days and offer the both of us a job.” Fu Daxing couldn’t help but spill this good news.

It wasn’t like they hadn’t helped others out righteously before. However, their previous acts of kindness had largely gone unappreciated, with some even landing them in additional trouble.

“Are you serious?”

“They even offered you jobs?”

Everyone was getting excited.

“Yes Mother, it’s true. Minister Wang had said that he would send me to be an apprentice. As for Erxing, as he has some educational qualifications, Minister Wang said that he would get him to manage the accounts. He will make the necessary arrangements for us when the time comes.”

Actually, this was not confirmed yet. However, for some reason, they felt that this would very likely come true.

Very, very, likely.

As he wasn’t as educated as Erxing, he would not expect to be given lighter jobs like keeping the accounts either. However, he didn’t mind that. He would be satisfied as long as he could learn a skill and work a formal job.

“That’s really great!”

Mdm Fu was so happy that she was about to cry.

“Our Fu family is getting lucky.” Old Mrs Fu was so happy that she cried. “Our Fu family is going to welcome better days.”

Daxing and Erxing had been really unlucky in their job search.

Both the brothers were clearly quite diligent and smart. However, wherever they went to work, the shops would either close down or have an accident quickly. The longest they had lasted in a job was three days, before any mishaps happened.

They even nearly lost their lives.

Because of the continuous bad luck that seemed to follow the two brothers wherever they went, Mdm Fu had no choice but to ask them to return to the village to be farmers so as to keep them safe.

Safety was more important than making money. If they had lost their lives, what use would any amount of money be?

Second Fu had suffered the same fate when he was young, which also led to him staying in the village and becoming a farmer too.

They all had the same fate, except for Fu Laoda.

Upon moving into his in-law’s family following his marriage, his fate changed.

“Mother, Little Sister is indeed a blessing to our family.”

“Yes.”

“That’s good. You guys would have to dote on your little sister in the future and protect her from being bullied by anyone. She is our Fu family’s lucky star. Our family will only be well if she’s well.” Mdm Fu took this opportunity to brainwash them.

Fu Daxing and Fu Erxing nodded their heads hard and etched the words into their hearts.

When Liu Guimei entered the gate and heard this, she pursed her lips and said, “Mother, Minister Wang hasn’t even given an official promise yet. Those might be empty words, something that he just said casually to express his thanks. He’s already given us so many items, how could it be possible that he was going to offer us jobs too?”

Only the two brothers were stupid enough to take it seriously.

Everyone had made it seem like all the good things that happened could be linked back to her precious daughter.

All this nonsense about blessings and lucky stars!

What a joke.

If Fubao was indeed a lucky star and Minister Wang could really offer a job to both the brothers, she would treat her with the same amount of respect that she would show her ancestors.
