Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Get out!"

Fang Wei shoved Zhang the matchmaker out of his own courtyard, yelling, "If anyone dares to lay a finger on my daughter again, I'll set their house on fire in the middle of the night!"

"And you!"

He pointed a broom at Zhang the matchmaker and said, "If you ever dare to come to my door again, I'll break your legs!"

After saying that, he slammed the courtyard gate shut.

"Fang Wei, you little beast, are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

Looking at the people around her pointing and whispering about her, Matchmaker Zhang yelled at the Fang family, "Who do you think your few good-for-nothing daughters are?!"

"They're lucky if someone is willing to take a liking to them!"

"With a gambling addict like you as your father, burdened with a mountain of debt! If you miss out on this family, do you think anyone else will even consider them?!"

"Once they're all old maids, and you come begging me to help you find a match, I won't agree!"

"You heartless, inhuman beast!"

"Bang!"

Fang Wei suddenly yanked open the courtyard gate, splashing Zhang the matchmaker soaking her completely.

"If you dare utter another sound in front of my house, I'll beat you up! Get lost!"

"You—you?!"

Zhang the matchmaker's makeup was ruined. Seeing Fang Wei's fierce look, she felt a little scared, but she still had to say a few stubborn words.

"You little beast! I'm older than you, and this is how you treat your elders! No wonder you're destined to be a childless heir!"

"You just wait! I'll see who dares to act as a matchmaker for your family again!"

"Those good-for-nothings in your family can just wait to all grow old and die at home!"

After saying that, seeing that Fang Wei seemed to really be about to rush out and hit someone, she quickly ran away.

"Hmph! You wretched old hag!"

Fang Wei cursed angrily, glanced at the onlookers, and then closed the courtyard gate again.

"Is Aunt Zhang here to arrange a marriage for his family?"

The moment the door closed, all the villagers who had been watching the commotion started chatting.

"I remember he said his daughter is only ten years old today, right? Which family would dare to propose marriage?"

"How could anyone actually be interested in his girl? Are they blind?!"

"What are you saying? I think Shaoli has taught her girls very well."

"So what if she's well-educated? With Fang Wei as her father, who would dare marry his daughter? In the end, the husband's family's money would probably be used to pay off Fang Wei's debts!"

While the outside world was buzzing with excitement, Fang Wei's courtyard fell silent.

Wu Faguo and Wu Xiaoqin were stunned when Fang Wei actually beat Zhang the matchmaker away.

Did they really wrong their son-in-law just now?

Da Ya, who was still holding Wu Shaoli, stared blankly at Fang Wei.

She was just like her sisters; every time she saw girls of their age in the village being held in their fathers' arms, she felt a pang of sadness.

Sometimes she couldn't help but fantasize about when her father could become like that.

But her father was a gambling addict who only beat his mother and them, and didn't care about them at all!

But now...

"Whoosh—waaaah—"

Suddenly, Da Ya released Wu Shaoli's waist and charged towards Fang Wei with her two thin legs, which were as thin as bamboo poles.

Before Fang Wei could react, a pair of small arms tightly hugged his waist.

"Daddy—Daddy—"

Daya kept crying and shouting until her voice became hoarse.

Fang Wei felt a pang of sadness and squatted down in front of his daughter.

Daya's face was covered in snot and tears, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her nose was also very red.

"Be good, don't cry."

Fang Wei reached out and cupped his daughter's face, wiping away all her tears. He whispered, "Didn't Daddy say that as long as Daddy is here, no one will be able to bully you anymore?"

"If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, Dad will fight them to the death!"

"None of you will be sent away. Dad will earn lots and lots of money and support you for the rest of your lives!"

Daya cried even louder, nodding vigorously and holding her father's neck tightly with her little hands.

Fang Wei picked up Daya and gently patted her back.

Wu Faguo and Wu Xiaoqin exchanged a glance after hearing the conversation between the father and daughter.

Er Ya looked at her eldest sister being held in her father's arms, suddenly wiped away her tears, and pulled San Ya along as they ran up.

"Daddy! I want a hug too!"

"Me too! I want a hug too!"

Several girls swarmed over him, some hugging Fang Wei's legs, others pulling on his belt.

"Okay, okay! I'll hug them all! Daddy will hug them one by one!"

Fang Wei laughed heartily, never expecting that the scene he had envied just a few days ago would actually happen to him today!

It's true that hard work pays off!

……

The next morning, Fang Wei went to the old forest farm after having breakfast.

Ever since he confirmed the location of that top-quality wild Gastrodia elata, he had been itching to get it.

It's as if a sum of money has been buried in his ground, and if it's not dug out, he'll keep thinking about it even when he's sleeping!

The mountain path was wet in the morning, and the grass was covered with dew.

Fang Wei walked quickly, pondering how to negotiate with Boss Wang's friend to get a better price for this batch of top-quality wild Gastrodia elata.

When he arrived at the old forest farm, he went straight to the place where wild gastrodia elata grew.

Last time, he only confirmed that this thing really grew in the old forest farm. This time, Fang Wei spent most of the morning figuring out exactly how much Gastrodia elata was in his old forest farm.

"There are so many?!"

Fang Wei did a quick mental calculation, a look of shock flashing across his face. "This acre of top-quality wild gastrodia elata must weigh two or three hundred jin, right?!"

If he can negotiate a good price, wouldn't his family instantly become a ten-thousand-yuan household?!

Fang Wei became more and more excited as he thought about it. He carefully dug out a piece of wild gastrodia elata, picked it up and put it in his arms. Then he went to collect the nest of wild eggs that the Daily Intelligence had mentioned, and went down the mountain to go home.

"Huh? Fang Wei went up the mountain again today? Did he find something good again?"

The villagers working in the fields saw Fang Wei come down from the mountain, and those nearby whispered among themselves.

"It doesn't look like it. Didn't you see he had a long face?"

"I knew it! How could this kid have such good luck, finding amazing treasures every day!"

"Just wait and see! He definitely won't be able to come up with the money to contract the old forest farm next year!"

Fang Wei had a long face the whole time, but once he got home and closed the gate, he finally smiled at his wife and daughter.

"Honey, I dug up a piece of gastrodia elata."

After putting down the wild eggs, he pulled Wu Shaoli aside and whispered, "The boss who bought my pork yesterday has a friend who buys medicinal herbs. I'm planning to take them to him to have a look."
