Sure, here is the translation you requested:

After coming out for a month, Fang Qiao worked at the boss’s training school, but the salary was very little—eight dollars a month with room and board. Many trainees felt the money was too little, so they didn’t join. Fang Qiao didn’t want to go home, so she directly began working at the boss’s shop, initially washing and selecting vegetables in the kitchen, and later helping with cold dishes when the chef was busy.

Someone apparently informed Ye Rong about Fang Qiao going to the county town, and as a result, every time Ye Rong delivered goods to the county town, he kept inquiring about her. Coincidentally, during one delivery to a restaurant, he encountered Fang Qiao coming out to receive goods. He insisted on taking her back. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Fang Qiao refused, but Ye Rong wasn’t deterred, and every time he came over, he would make a fuss.

When Fang Qiao’s father found out back home, he argued with Ye Rong, but Ye Rong wasn’t afraid of him and directly confronted him, stating bluntly that if Fang Qiao didn’t return, the Fang family would never have peace.

Without Ye Rong, Fang Qiao’s father knew their family was doing well, tending to their small plots of land, with the eldest son-in-law helping out. The eldest daughter was doing well in her husband’s family and could provide some support. The younger daughter had learned a skill and was working at someone’s shop, earning a small salary but managing to support herself. Gradually becoming a top chef would mean achieving something great.

But Ye Rong was blocking everyone’s path, and the more Fang Qiao’s father thought about it, the more he felt that it couldn’t go on. Ye Rong was being unreasonable, and it wasn’t his fault for not giving him a chance.

After much deliberation, Fang Qiao’s father came up with this idea. He opposed Ye Rong for his daughter’s sake. Although not particularly capable, and a bit lazy, he wasn’t a total fool. He had painstakingly raised his daughter over the years and couldn’t endure a lifetime of hardship like her mother-in-law.

Someone had to take the blame, so he would be the villain.

Originally, after doing the deed, Fang Qiao’s father wanted to turn himself in. He explained everything to his eldest daughter, but she and her husband wouldn’t let him go, saying no one found out about it. Just pretend Ye Rong fell by accident. If one needed to blame someone, blame his bad luck.

For days, Fang Qiao’s father watched, anxious, but indeed the villagers believed Ye Rong’s mishap was an accident.

With Fang Qiao’s husband dead, she had to come back to handle the aftermath. Naturally, Fang Qiao’s father didn’t hide Ye Rong’s death from her, feeling guilty, but for his daughter, he had no choice but to commit this evil deed.

That day Fang Qiao cried in her father’s arms, and after her tears, she told him they would bear the consequences together, confessing to the heavens for redemption daily. However, they didn’t regret Ye Rong’s death, believing that leaving such a person in the world would only make more women like her suffer.

Ah Zhi brought over more than ten thousand dollars to his brother this time, saying it was last year’s profits until now.

The brother didn’t hesitate to accept it, "Brother Ah Zhi, I’ll take the money this time, and from now on, that mountain is entirely yours. Consider the money borrowed back then; I’ve earned roughly enough profits over the years."

Ah Zhi couldn’t agree, quickly shaking his head, "How can this be? We agreed it was a joint investment. Now you’re saying you want out, and how will I explain this to your uncle? They’d definitely blame me."

"Ah Zhi, listen to Ah Hui. You’ve had it tough over the years. You’ve seen this; your aunt has opened a restaurant, Ah Hui is working, and Qingqing has started a hotel. Our family has enough to eat and spend, no need to worry about these." Lin Guozhi patted Ah Zhi’s shoulder, persuading, "Do as I say. Let’s settle this."

With his father there, Brother Ah Zhi couldn’t argue back; after all, the uncle had helped them a lot. It was only right.

Brother Ah Zhi came over, and Lin Wan also called Han Yi, asking him to come for dinner in the evening to dine with Brother Ah Zhi.

"Seeing Xiao Yi in military uniform, I almost forgot. Our village’s old head’s grandson wants to become a soldier, along with a few promising young men, who keep asking my dad to call you guys. My dad is afraid of bothering you, but looking at them, some aren’t suitable for military service, so he hasn’t mentioned it to you guys."

"Well, if they’re suitable, why not? I’ll call back another day to ask your dad about it." Lin Guozhi nodded. That’s how the world works; you help where you can, but if they’re too unsuitable, he wouldn’t help them take shortcuts.

Ah Zhi was finally relieved; many wanted their children to join the military and asked his uncle for a referral. Being neighbors, they couldn’t outright refuse, fearing they’d be grudged and would have a hard time living in the village later.

After discussing this matter, the family chatted about the old things back home together, and Lin Wan learned that Sister Da Niu’s two daughters were studying well, with their home walls plastered with awards.

After taking over the noodle shop, the couple had thriving business, busy day in and day out without a moment’s rest.

Efforts bring rewards; this side, the Da Niu couple decisively bought a small courtyard in the county. The family settled in the county and won’t return to the town. If they did, her mother-in-law wasn’t easy to deal with, causing trouble.

"Aunt, Uncle, speaking of Sister Da Niu couple, they’re self-reliant, but Dan Dan, sigh, she’s been disgraceful lately." Liang Zhi said, shaking his head.

"Isn’t she married? She’s quite grown up, still so irresponsible?" Liang Hongmei and Lin Wan knew what kind of person she was.
