My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

The Zhou family soon learned that Zhou Qingshan's father-in-law's family had been exiled.

At first, Wang Guihua served the family well, but the two children were very picky and always said that she was a village woman and that she was eating pig feed.

They even considered the outhouse dirty, so they had to use a chamber pot inside the house.

Wang Guihua couldn't understand why wealthy people liked to relieve themselves indoors.

However, she respects it.

However, two days later, she could no longer bear it.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm your sister-in-law, not your eldest daughter! I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

If Wang Guihua refused to serve, Wang would have her granddaughter-in-law Liu Liuer serve her instead.

Liu Liuer dared not refuse, but Wang Guihua stopped her, saying, "You are my daughter-in-law. Even I don't get to be served by you, and you want to serve others?"

Wang had scolded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law many times, saying they only knew how to take other people's money and not do any work.

Wang Guihua also lost her temper, "I took the money? Then you should tell them to give me the money to do my work."

In the past two days, she has figured everything out.

Lin had no jewelry on her body, and her two children were dressed simply. She secretly rummaged through their bundles and touched their clothes, but couldn't find a single coin.

The two children asked for candy for two days, but their parents didn't even offer to buy them one.

Wang Guihua was pretty sure that the second son and his wife didn't have any money at all.

Those whose homes were confiscated and who were exiled were lucky to even be alive.

I don't even have money, why should I serve them?

Wang Guihua went on strike and refused to work.

Wang did it herself.

She treats her two grandchildren, whom she has never met, exceptionally well.

My grandson is twelve or thirteen years old, and my granddaughter is ten. They are both teenagers and still ask for candy all the time.

Wang gave them some wild walnuts she had gathered from the mountain, and the two children were overjoyed. But they missed every time they tried to crack one open, and then they started asking for candy.

They also criticized Wang for being untrustworthy.

"You said you'd buy us candy the day before yesterday, but it's been several days, where's the candy you bought?"

Perhaps it was the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, but Wang didn't find it annoying at all. Instead, she said, "Alright, alright, I'll go buy it tomorrow. I can't let my grandson from the capital suffer."

So, as soon as it was light, Wang took out her money to go into town to buy candy.

Lin Wan'er said coldly, "Buy me a box of rouge while you're at it."

Wang had no idea what rouge was, but she still readily agreed, thinking that a daughter-in-law from the city shouldn't be treated poorly.

As Wang walked out of the village, she saw Lin Cuiniang and Xu Dazhu waiting for the oxcart by the roadside, their baskets still filled with newly harvested red dates.

Wang knew that they must be going to deliver these things to the person behind them.

So, they shamelessly waited for an oxcart passing through Qingshui Village and went into town together with Lin Cuiniang and the others.

The oxcart only stopped at the city gate, so Xu Dazhu and his wife parted ways with Wang Shi there.

"Husband, I have a feeling that Wang Shi is watching us. Could she be planning something bad?" Lin Cuiniang whispered.

Xu Dazhu turned around and saw that Wang had already gone to the other side, so he said, "You're overthinking it. Come on, the dates won't keep, hurry up and send them to Fenglan to deal with."

The two hurried to Yang Fenglan's shop.

Completely unaware, Wang, who had just gone in the opposite direction from them, turned back.

After the famine, they kept digging for wild vegetables to fill their stomachs until they started farming and had to wait for the harvest. Wang Shi didn't go to the city much.

Only after secretly following Lin Cuiniang and her husband did they realize that their things were being delivered to a shop.

After a little inquiry, I learned that the beans in that shop were very delicious, with all kinds of flavors, and that all the wealthy people in the city ate them.

Wang then had an idea: what kind of pastries can't you get in the capital? These beans from a small town will definitely win over those two children.

Once the children's hearts are at peace in Qingshui Village, their mothers will also find peace.

After Xu Dazhu and the other man left, Wang went into the shop.

Firstly, I can buy some beans to take home and eat; secondly, I can talk to the shopkeeper about getting her to buy them.

Perhaps, he can earn a lot of money to subsidize his second son's family.
