I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 47: Reason

Editor: Atlas Studios

This was the reason why the Mu family had never been able to accumulate money—Mu Shi was too sentimental, and the others were too lacking in fighting spirit.

The patriarch of the Liu family, Liu He, once felt that it was a pity that Mu Shi was too reluctant to leave his family. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to achieve a great career. This was because he did not lack ability, EQ, or IQ, but he was unwilling to leave his wife and children to venture outside for prolonged periods.

Mu Shi’s father had once accumulated a lot of money for him. Although a lot of it had been lost in the Hus’ rebellion more than ten years ago, Mu Shi had lived a life of not having to worry about his family for four to five years. In addition, considering he often worked outside, according to Liu He’s private calculations, Mu Shi could save at least a hundred taels of silver a year.

In the end, after marrying a wife, not only did his life not get better, but it instead got worse.

At this point, one had to mention Shu Wanniang’s identity. She was the second daughter of the Shu family, and the Shu family was considered a small aristocratic family in Jingzhao Prefecture that was established for two to three hundred years. They had never been powerful, but they had always been firmly rooted in the land of the Jingzhao Prefecture. In fact, they had a history that was decades older than the current dynasty.

Shu Wanniang’s father’s family was considered a collateral branch, but their family background was not bad, not inferior to the main branch. Unfortunately, their foundation was a little weaker, so when the imperial court fled south back then, they were abandoned and suffered during the chaos.

After all, Jingzhao Prefecture was the hometown of the Shu family. If the Hus1 were more polite to them, they might just be grateful to the Imperial Court in their hearts and live their lives as they should. However, in less than ten years, half of the family business of the Shu family that had been left behind had been destroyed by the Hus.

Father Shu immediately contacted the Yuan family army guarding the border at that time and was willing to give up half of his family business in exchange for protection and aid in escaping south.

Of course, the upright and brave Yuan Family Army did not accept the Shu Family’s money and was willing to escort them into the borders of Great Zhou for free.

It was when Shu Wanniang fled south to Chef Mountain that they encountered bandits. In the chaos, she was pushed out of the carriage and abducted by the bandits.

At that time, the lone and gutsy Mu Shi had lived in the mountains for a long time. Once, when he was hunting, his prey was frightened away by the bandits who rushed in. Upon a closer look, he realized that Shu Wanniang, who was being dragged along by the bandits, had a pale face.

Back then, Shu Wanniang had just turned 15 and was still a young girl. It was already very lucky that she did not faint. The moment she got the chance, she wanted to commit suicide, but she was stopped by the bandits and was about to be tortured on the spot. An upright and kind young man, Mu Shi could not stand by and do nothing, so he saved the damsel in distress.
