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

riverside.

Wang Guihua pounded her aching back, muttering to herself, "All he does is order me around while he rests in the fields. If he finds any money, I definitely won't get much of it."

Blackie!

Then they brought up another bucket of water.

He hooked the carrying pole over his shoulder, hoisted two buckets of water, and wobbled towards the fields.

The sun had already set in the west, but it was still scorching hot, making her vision blurry, her mind foggy, and her expression dazed.

It's already exhausting to work in this sweltering heat, but what's even more exhausting is that I'm doing someone else's work.

Wang Guihua cursed and swore the whole way.

Finally reaching the edge of the field, he put down the two buckets, tossed aside the carrying pole, and sat down listlessly.

"I'm exhausted."

Wang Guihua looked up at the foot of the field, but Xu Yingying was nowhere to be seen. She asked Wang Shi, "Mother, where is that wild girl?"

After not finding a single penny all morning, Wang Guihua began to suspect that she had been scammed.

Perhaps the God of Wealth didn't just pass by this piece of land at the foot of Nanshan Mountain?

To verify her hypothesis, she decided to burrow into the ground to search.

But at the crucial moment, that wild girl showed up again!

Earlier that morning, Xu Yingying had been chased away by Old Lady Xu, but she came back and sat on the embankment staring at them, saying she would help them find something.

Wang Guihua and Wang Shi had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened and continue to fetch water to irrigate the land.

I wanted to wait until the wild girl left before going to look for her.

To everyone's surprise, that girl sat by the ground for the entire afternoon!

"They're gone, they just left." Wang Shi was also wilted from the sun; she was hungry, tired, and weak all over.

"They're finally gone!" Wang Guihua suddenly perked up. "Mom, let's go into the ground and search while no one's around."

After pouring the two buckets of water down, Wang threw the buckets away, saying, "It should have been done a long time ago."

Watering the plants while looking for money is exhausting!

She really can't do it anymore.

The two pretended to pull weeds and searched every corner of the wheat field, but they couldn't find a single copper coin.

Wang's face turned ashen.

Wang Guihua refused to believe it and searched the fields and edges again, but indeed there wasn't a single coin.

When she saw her mother-in-law staring at her with a grim expression, she broke out in a cold sweat: Damn it, could I have really been fooled?

My mother-in-law worked with me for two days, but we didn't get anything. She'll definitely blame me for this, because my mother-in-law suggested many times that we not work and just go into the fields to make money, but I refused with various excuses.

She was genuinely afraid of being targeted and the news reaching the Yang family.

Now that we don't have a single penny, my mother-in-law might think that I picked up the money and hid it, and then deliberately tricked her into watering the fields together.

—After all, she did find it yesterday.

"Wang Guihua!" As expected, Madam Wang glared at her through gritted teeth.

"Um, Mother, do you think it's possible that Yang has already picked up the money?" Wang Guihua asked guiltily.

"what?"

“She picked up the money first, and then she tried to fool us, saying that the God of Wealth was scattering money in the field and that we should help water the plants.”

Wang Guihua clapped her hands, "That must be it! I knew it. Normally, people would pick up money the moment they see it."

"..." Wang gritted her teeth, pouted, and stared resentfully at Wang Guihua.

Wang Guihua felt a pang of guilt. "Mother, think about it. If she hadn't found a lot of money, who would be willing to spend more than ten coins to buy such a small fish? Yang Shi isn't stupid. She must have found more than ten coins."

"I think you're an idiot, an idiot, an idiot!" Wang Shi angrily poked Wang Guihua's forehead. "Didn't I tell you that dreams are unreliable? Did I? Did I?"

"Oh dear, Mother, I just thought of that." Wang Guihua grabbed Wang Shi's hand and fawned over her by massaging her arm.

"In my opinion, with Yang buying fish so lavishly, she must have picked up at least two or three hundred coins, if not three hundred. Didn't we smell the aroma of rice yesterday?"

"Besides fish, she must have bought rice too. But all I asked her was if she had cooked the rice, and she actually smelled my feet!"

"Mother, Yang found a lot of money and bought delicious food, but she's hiding it away instead of giving it to you. I think she doesn't respect you at all."

"She dares! I won't let the second son divorce her!"

"Shh, you can't say that." Wang Guihua shushed her repeatedly, changing the subject. "Mother, do you think Yang might be secretly cooking something delicious at home right now? We definitely smelled the aroma of rice yesterday, but she wouldn't share a single bite with you. I think you're about to lose control of Yang."

"You think I can't handle her? I can tell her to go east and she won't dare go west. Just you wait and see!"

"But she lied to you."

Wang rolled up her sleeves and said, "How dare you lie to me about watering your fields? You're asking for trouble!"

"Yes, if I dare to lie to you today, I dare to beat you tomorrow."

"Let's go find her!"

"Walk."
