I Ran Away After Transmigrating as a Wealthy Daughter-in-Law  - Chapter 7

Jiang Pan successfully transformed from a disgraced wealthy daughter-in-law returning home to a member of the Jiangzhuang Village Intelligence Agency.

It only took her one week.

 

In another week, she could begin her plan to buy land from them.

 

A lot of the land in the village lay fallow, not because of the soil, but because the wages for labor had skyrocketed in recent years, while the price of grain had plummeted. At the same time, 80% of the young people had moved to the city. Even the remaining young people weren’t willing to farm, and most of the able-bodied people in the village had gone to work elsewhere. What was left were mostly women, the elderly, and children. Women in their fifties and sixties were physically capable, but they had to take care of their homes and children, so they could only plant a little grain and some vegetables, which led to a lot of land being left unused and wasted.

 

It was a shame to see such good land overgrown with weeds.

 

Jiang Pan thought that even if this place wasn’t developed in the future, she would still buy some land to develop a farming business.

 

It was a profession related to her major, so there was no reason not to do it.

 

The villagers in the intelligence agency were the remaining main force—the old, the young, the women, and the disabled. If she offered to buy their unused land, they would have no reason not to sell.

But first, she had to earn their trust, which was why Jiang Pan had to join them and become a member of the intelligence agency.

 

This was the key to successfully buying the land.

 

While her “career” was undergoing a successful “transformation,” Jian Yue, far away in C City, was not doing so well.

Lately, for some reason, her appetite had plummeted. She had no desire to eat anything, felt weak all over, and was inexplicably irritable. Even her period hadn’t come this month.

 

Jian Yue had a terrifying suspicion, but she was too scared to go to the hospital. She just stayed home, constantly searching the internet on her phone.

 

What’s wrong with having no appetite and feeling nauseous?

 

Why am I so weak all over?

 

What are the symptoms of pregnancy?

How to kill someone without breaking the law

 

…

 

In just five minutes, Jian Yue’s search history had gone from a normal, gentle tone to a violent desire to hunt down Jiang Pan.

 

Because it was an ABO world, Jiang Pan, as the Alpha in the novel, was experiencing a heat cycle again.

Inhibitors were life-saving, a must-have at home.

 

Jiang Pan sighed. What genius in the ABO world invented this medicine? It’s so great.

 

Zhao Cuiping felt sorry for her daughter’s suffering. She thought that since Jiang Pan had come home and had no plans to leave for the time being, she should find an Omega for her in a nearby village. If it was a good match, they could get married.

 

Jiang Pan immediately rejected the idea.

 

Her reason was that it was too soon to start dating and get married when she had just been divorced for less than two months. Even if she was in a hurry, it shouldn’t be like this.

 

Jiang Pan said, “Ms. Zhao, if you want your daughter to be the center of gossip in the village again, then go ahead and introduce me.”

Zhao Cuiping immediately gave up the idea.

 

In truth, this kind of biological cycle made Jiang Pan extremely uncomfortable. That feeling of restless agitation, so severe that it made her lose her mind and even need to be isolated, was truly harmful to her body.

 

Most importantly, Jiang Pan felt an even greater craving for Jian Yue during her heat. She just wanted her comfort.

 

Jiang Pan analyzed it for a while with a worried expression. From what she knew about herself, she wouldn’t crave Jian Yue so much after only sleeping with her once. She wasn’t that lustful.

 

Therefore, she concluded that it was the original owner’s feelings for Jian Yue that were lingering in this body.

 

But the next second, Jiang Pan dismissed the thought. If there was still love there, why had she hurt her?

 

She had a million questions but couldn’t come up with a single correct answer.

 

Jiang Pan went online to find out why an Alpha would be so obsessed with an Omega.

 

When she saw the word marking, Jiang Pan suddenly remembered that when she read the novel, she had learned that an Alpha’s mark on an Omega was divided into a temporary mark and a permanent mark.

 

In the original plot, the original owner only gave Jian Yue a temporary mark. From that, it was clear that she didn’t genuinely love Jian Yue.

 

So, on that night, did she give Jian Yue a temporary or permanent mark?

 

Because of the combination of pheromones and the drug, Jiang Pan couldn’t remember exactly what happened that night.

 

Jiang Pan sighed.

 

“What’s wrong? Why are you sighing?”

Zhao Cuiping came into the room with a bowl of sliced watermelon and heard Jiang Pan sigh.

 

She had already noticed that Jiang Pan seemed preoccupied since she had come back. She put the watermelon down and asked hesitantly, “Panpan, tell your mom the truth, are you having a hard time?”

A hard time? Jiang Pan’s brows furrowed.

 

Thanks to her “efforts,” the original plot of the book had already changed. As long as she didn’t get involved with Jian Yue again, she could live a stable life.

 

As a transmigrator with a god-like perspective, she knew more than anyone else in this world, so things would naturally be easier for her.

 

If she had to name one hardship, the biggest one was living as someone else.

Perhaps because she had been so used to her freedom as a child, she was a completely different person from the original owner. While “playing” the original owner, she always wondered what would happen if she told the truth to the original owner’s parents.

 

Of course, Jiang Pan only thought about it. She wasn’t selfish enough to hurt innocent people.

 

Besides, if she really said something like “I’m a transmigrator from a book,” there was a high chance she would be seen as mentally ill.

 

“I actually am having a hard time,” Jiang Pan said, taking a bite of watermelon. “I want to buy land, but I don’t know how to go about it. Do you and Mr. Jiang have any experience with that, Mom?”

“Buy land?” Zhao Cuiping frowned. “What do you want to buy land for?”

 

Jiang Pan said, “To plant things.”

 

Zhao Cuiping’s eyes showed confusion. “Are you really planning to come home and farm?”

 

Jiang Pan thought for a moment. “For now, that’s the plan.”

 

Zhao Cuiping frowned and fell silent.

 

Later, at dinner, Jiang Pan asked Jiang Qinghe about buying land.

 

He was visibly stunned. “Buy land? We have more than ten acres at home. Why do you need to buy more?”

Jiang Pan smiled. “Ten acres isn’t enough. I want a thousand, ten thousand acres.”

Jiang Qinghe: “…”

 

Zhao Cuiping: “???”

 

Jiang Pan’s determination to buy land seemed to be a big blow to the couple. They had worked their whole lives to support her through college, and now she was coming home to farm.

 

But then they thought again. They had been dreaming of their daughter coming home for years. Now that she was back and planning to start a business here, it was a happy thing that their only child had had a change of heart and returned to them.

 

The couple rarely expressed their disagreement on the matter.

 

Moreover, in Zhao Cuiping’s eyes, Jiang Pan must have faced a huge hardship outside to come back home. Otherwise, with her ambitions, she would never have returned to the village to develop a career.

 

However, she still couldn’t help but wonder.

 

Zhao Cuiping: “She said she was going to buy land, but why does she want to buy so much?”

 

Jiang Qinghe: “She’s just talking. If she really wanted to buy that much land, where would she get the money?”

 

Zhao Cuiping nodded. “You’re right.”

 

…

 

After a few days of internal struggle, Jian Yue decided to go and see Yin Li.

 

But when she got there, she still couldn’t bring herself to say it. She just made small talk.

 

Yin Li was busy all day. She rarely got a break. She was drinking coffee when she noticed that Jian Yue didn’t look well and seemed to have lost a little weight.

 

“Are you on a diet?” Yin Li asked.

 

“Huh?” Jian Yue scratched her eyebrow and joked, “I have such a great figure—thin in the right places and plump in others. Why would I need to go on a diet?”

 

Yin Li laughed. “Yes, yes. Ms. Jian is famous for her great figure.” She then hissed, “But why do you look thinner than last time, and you don’t seem to be in good spirits?”

Jian Yue: “It’s been more than half a month since I last saw you. It’s hot, so I don’t have much of an appetite.”

 

Yin Li: “Then why didn’t you come to see me?”

 

Jian Yue: “You were so mad you looked like a pig. I was scared.”

 

“Oh, so there are things Ms. Jian is scared of.”

 

As the two of them joked, Jian Yue’s mood lightened a little.

 

But Yin Li still noticed that Jian Yue seemed to be spacing out. Her doctor’s intuition made her ask, “Are you not feeling well?”

Jian Yue shook her head. “No.”

 

Yin Li raised an eyebrow. “Then why did you come to see me?”

 

Jian Yue rolled her eyes. “Do I have to have a reason to see you? Can’t I just miss you?”

 

“Please don’t. As a doctor, I’m most afraid of people missing me,” Yin Li said, looking at her. “If you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you.”

 

Jian Yue’s smile faded. After a slight hesitation, she still shook her head. “I really just missed you.” She paused. “You always have so much to do. I can’t do anything right now. I’m really jealous of you.”

 

“I have a week off next week. How about we go somewhere to relax?” Yin Li knew Jian Yue’s mood had not been good for the past two months because of Jiang Pan.

 

Jian Yue nodded. Her expression didn’t change much. Nothing seemed exciting to her now.

 

Jiang Pan’s repeated betrayals had left her with enough disappointment. Now they were divorced, and that person was gone.

 

But Jian Yue found that Jiang Pan’s departure didn’t make her very happy.

 

Instead, she felt more agitated. Maybe Yin Li was right; she shouldn’t have let Jiang Pan off so easily.

 

“Where do you want to go?” Yin Li asked, picking up her phone.

 

Jian Yue thought about it. She didn’t know where she wanted to go.

 

In the dead of night, she had thought about many places.

 

She thought about finding a place to relax and come back a brand new person.

 

But two months had passed, and it was hard to put that into practice.

 

“I’ll tell you when I figure it out. You’re busy; I’ll get going.”

 

Jian Yue decided to wait a few more days to see if her physical problems were just due to her mood.

 

So, the first priority was to figure out where to go to relax.

 

…

 

In the afternoon, at the intelligence agency’s meeting spot.

 

Jiang Pan told the members that she was staying in the village to develop a business.

 

“Panpan, what is there to develop in the village?”

 

“Right.”

 

“There are no mines or factories in the village. There’s nothing to develop.”

 

Jiang Pan smiled slightly. “Farming.”

 

As soon as she said that, there were immediate whispers.

 

“Farming?”

 

“What kind of business is farming?”

 

“Grain isn’t worth much, labor is expensive, and it’s either flooded or there’s a drought.”

 

“Seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides are getting more and more expensive.”

 

“…”

 

The original owner had been the top student in the local college entrance exam and had been interviewed and featured in newspapers. Everyone who knew her was certain she was doing well in the big city.

 

Now, when they heard she was coming home to farm, it was big news.

 

The members of the intelligence agency started to discuss, thinking that Jiang Pan had either studied herself into a stupor or had lost her mind.

 

“What’s wrong with farming? My major is related to farming. Technology is so advanced now; we can use machines for everything, so it’s not tiring.” Jiang Pan threw out a test. “Aunties, if you’re not farming your land, how about you sell it to me so I can farm it?”

 

“Sure, they’re all yours.”

 

Everyone laughed and casually agreed. No one believed her. They just thought Jiang Pan was joking, because what young person in the village would be willing to farm?

 

Jiang Pan smiled sweetly. “Then it’s settled. I’ll go see the village head, and then we can talk about the price.”

 

Everyone was still laughing and didn’t take Jiang Pan’s words seriously.
