Chapter 1 — The Farming Diary of Thien Kim Trillion

My name is Tri Nguyet, I am a useless lady who has been pampered by my family since childhood. The fortune teller said that my fate lacks the word "suffering", and if I don't suffer, I won't be able to do great things. Everyone in my family thought I was done with my life, I definitely had no future in this life. Because of my status - the only daughter of a family of hundreds of billions, growing up in sweet honey, where can I find suffering to eat? Actually, I was also not convinced. If there is no suffering, then you will find suffering to eat, but avoiding suffering is a fool. As a result, one day, I learned the truth: it turned out I was hugged by mistake! My real family is in the countryside, a rural village called Khao Son Truan. So... suffering has come! So I packed my bags and left that night. My mother held my suitcase tightly, crying without a sound.

"Nguyet Nguyet, don't be like that! In our parents' hearts, you will always be our daughter!"

My father stood next to me, frowning tightly:

“This can still be discussed, you don't need to go to such extremes.”

My heart aches, I know they really love me.

“Dad, mom…”

I called out softly, my throat choked.

"Thank you two for taking care of me all these years, but that's not fair to Lam Dieu. She is our parents' biological daughter, she must have lived a very hard life in the countryside. I have to give back the life that belongs to her."

I tried to hold back my tears, pulling the suitcase around them. If I stay a little longer, I'm afraid I'll soften my heart.

“Let it go.” A voice rang out from behind.

I turned my head and saw Lam Dieu standing at the top of the stairs. She looks a lot like her mother, her eyes are curved, her face is gentle.

“Sister…” she said, “Don't worry, I can do it, I will take good care of my parents.”

“Okay!” I waved my hand decisively, "I'm leaving! Don't remember!"

I didn't let the Tri family see me off, so I took the car myself and went straight to a place called Khao Son Truan. I'm so excited, I finally get to experience suffering! The car shook for nearly seven hours, the driver stopped in front of a row of greenhouses growing vegetables stretching to the horizon.

"Girl, we've arrived at Khao Son Truan, this is the place."

I got out of the car. In front of us is a large row of greenhouses sparkling in the sunset. I was a bit stunned. Isn't it said that the countryside is backward? Look at this greenhouse, it's even more majestic than the agricultural model area in my city. Bewildered, a middle-aged man holding a pipe, pedaled a three-wheeled bicycle and stopped in front of me, evaluating me from top to bottom.

“Is it Nguyet Nguyet?”

I nodded hesitantly. He grinned: "It's dad, Lam Bao Quoc! Get in the car, I'll take you home! Look at this white face, are you tired of sitting in the car?" I was still stunned and climbed into the back of the car. As soon as Comrade Bao Quoc stepped on the accelerator, the three-wheeled vehicle immediately sped away, carrying a gust of wind.

“Dad… what are these greenhouses?” I hugged the Umbrella family's suitcase, swaying and asking loudly while the car bounced around.

“Oh, it's nothing,”

Lam Bao Quoc didn't bother to look back, his pipe vibrating in his mouth.

"The tools are for our family to earn a living, grow some vegetables. This place, see, that place, then the other place, it's not much, in total it's probably about five thousand acres or so, it's all our family's."

Me: “…Five, five thousand acres?!” But that's not much?! What is it? God? Is my family a vegetable grower? The three-wheeled vehicle turned back and forth, finally stopping in front of a spacious farmhouse. The yard is clean, a simple five-story European-style building stands tall, tiled with shiny ceramic tiles. Page Van ha thinks Eight hundred times different from the image of a house with empty walls that I imagined. Isn't it said that poor families are miserable? Why is the information so different? A woman with a kind face and wearing an apron ran out of the house. As soon as she saw me, her eyes turned red:

"Nguyet Nguyet! My daughter!" She hugged me.

This is my biological mother, Vuong Que Phan. She pulled me from room to room, excited.

"This is your room! Your dad and mom heard that you were coming home, so they cleaned it all up! Look at this bed, it's solid wood! And there's the wardrobe, it's all the way to the ceiling! The curtains, the lace is really good! Do you like it?"

I looked around the room that was all princess pink. Trying to force a smile: "I-like it very much... thank you mom."

"Oh my god! Like it! Like it!"

Vuong Que Phan was even happier. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she mysteriously pulled me to the bathroom.

"Nguyet Nguyet, look quickly! Mom specifically told me to go to the city center to buy this! I heard that all of you city people use this!"

I looked in the direction she pointed. A brand new smart toilet is quietly sitting in the toilet. Shines bright technological light.

“This is… a smart toilet?”

"That's right, that's right! That's the smart type! Spray it with water and then dry it! Very advanced! Try it!"

She was too enthusiastic, plus I was a bit sad, so I immediately tried the smart toilet. Um~ How pleasant~ The taste of family! After finishing work, I walked out and saw my mother - comrade Vuong Que Phan - holding something shiny and scrubbing the sink.
