After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

At the dinner table, the family of nine looked at each other, all staring intently at the bowl of corn and cabbage porridge on the table.

The bright green cabbage and the golden cornmeal mixed together look quite healthy.

Heping felt his face sting even more and asked incredulously, "Mom, is our family really that poor?"

Ruolan didn't even glance at him. "Otherwise, why do you think you were beaten?"

These people are still being picky now, they don't realize that in the future, they won't even be able to afford cornmeal porridge.

No sooner had Shuisheng gone to see the brigade leader than the news spread throughout the entire brigade that he had found a job in the city.

Sure enough, as soon as Ruolan went to work, the older women, sisters-in-law, and aunties in the village swarmed around her, all wanting to know how Shuisheng had found a job.

This is a secure job in the city. What skills does Shuisheng have? He should share his experience with them.

Ruolan was really annoyed by their noise, so she just gave them a few perfunctory replies and sent them away.

However, the people who gathered around did not include Sister-in-law Xie, Li Xiaocao, or Ye Zhaodi, the wife of Lao Niu who used to raise pigs with Shuisheng.

They didn't ask, not because they weren't interested, but purely out of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Mi Ruolan.

Li Xiaocao was envious of her second sister-in-law's husband's abilities. They shared the same surname and were even brothers, so how could there be such a big difference between them?

Sister-in-law Jie was just jealous. She didn't want the second wife to take advantage of them, so she separated them.

But she was furious. How come after the two families were separated, the second family was doing better and better, while the food in the first family was getting worse and worse?

When the second wife was still alive, they could occasionally eat meat, but after the second wife was separated from the family, they never saw meat again.

Is it because the second wife is bringing good fortune to the first wife's family? Should they call the second wife back? If so, their house would belong to the common people, and when the family divides up in the future, the first wife's family would also have a share.

It's a nice idea, but it has to be something the other person is willing to do!

As for Ye Zhaodi, her reason was both infuriating and laughable.

In fact, Ruolan and Ye Zhaodi had no interaction at all, so why was Ruolan so hated?

It's all because of Ye Zhaodi's mother-in-law, who keeps comparing Ye Zhaodi and Ruolan. And that comparison has naturally created enmity!

Ye Zhaodi and Ruolan became pregnant at the same time. Ruolan gave birth to three children in one pregnancy, two of whom were boys. Ye Zhaodi, on the other hand, gave birth to five girls in a row. She herself was very sexist.

She's constantly being compared to Ruolan by her mother-in-law; how could that not lead to a twisted mentality?

She secretly rejoiced when Shui Sheng passed away in her previous life.

The more miserable Ruolan's life was, the happier she was. That's why in her past life she desperately stopped her man from helping Mi Ruolan.

After all, Ruolan is quite pretty in the countryside. What if her man gets stolen away?

A woman who lacks a sense of security sees everyone as an enemy.

After Shuisheng started working, he left early and returned late every day, and the food supplies for the second wife were dwindling.

Heping and his family went from being able to eat until they were 80% full to now only being able to eat until they are half full, and sometimes the youngest child even cries out from hunger.

They had to endure hunger to sleep every day. Just when everyone felt they couldn't hold on any longer, Shuisheng would bring back some meat or something from the city to satisfy their cravings.

Now, whenever food is mentioned, the way Heping and the others guard their food is more impressive than anyone else's. Indeed, only those who have experienced hunger know the value of food!

Countless times like this, back and forth, just when the children felt they couldn't hold on any longer, they could see a glimmer of hope again.

Until their tempers are worn down and they become docile.

Before we knew it, it was 1965.

Ruolan carried a small wicker basket and happily prepared to go to her family's private plot to pick some vegetables.

As the mistress of the second wife, Ruolan, who is in her thirties, is now enjoying a retired life.

Unfortunately, she was quite delicate, and her old illness relapsed during childbirth. She couldn't be exposed to wind, rain, or strong sunlight, so in the end, she had no choice but to stay home and recuperate.

The job of the accounting clerk was given to the eldest daughter and Fen. Don't overthink it; it wasn't because she felt sorry for the eldest daughter that she gave her this easy job.

However, Fen is the most suitable person in the family to take over Ruolan's work, and it would be the most cost-effective for her to take over.

There are now five adults in the second household, four of whom are able-bodied. Xie Shuisheng and Xie Heping work in the city, while He Min is very strong and can earn 10 work points a day.

The triplets and the youngest, Heqiang, are still studying in the city and can only come back on Sundays when they have a day off. Hemin and Hefen didn't get into high school after graduating from junior high.

They can only come back to help their families. He Min is strong and can support himself by doing manual labor, but He Fen is weak and can only earn 5 work points a day. She can't even support herself, so what can they expect from her?

It would be better to let her take over Ruolan's job. She could earn 10 work points a day, since the extra money would all go to Ruolan.

Now Ruolan is the "finance minister" of the family. All the money earned by the family members has to be handed over to her, and she is responsible for all the family's expenses.

Ruolan walked into the vegetable garden and looked out into the distance. The garden was full of life, and every leaf seemed to be sparkling.

The lush greenery and the aroma of fruits and vegetables create a truly delightful scene of harvest.

No one in the family is allowed to enter the vegetable garden without permission, otherwise the tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers in the garden will all be gone before they even grow up.

Thinking about what to cook for dinner, Ruolan casually picked a few cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as a large cabbage.

I picked a few eggplants and a handful of scallions as well.

Ruolan had just stepped out of the vegetable garden when she arrived at her own courtyard.

In the past two years, a lot of things have been added to this house, the most eye-catching of which is the wall in front of the yard.

A wall over a meter high enclosed the second family's private plot in the yard. They didn't raise pigs; the children were all grown up, and no one would cut pig feed anyway. They only raised a few chickens.

Because the house was built a bit far from the village, no villagers came to visit, so I could secretly raise a few more chickens without anyone noticing.

Ruolan was thinking that she hadn't checked the chicken coop yet and didn't know how many eggs she could find. She had picked tomatoes to make scrambled eggs, but how could she make them without eggs?

They can't keep their eggs forever; they eat as many as they can find and never keep them overnight.

Ruolan diligently picked vegetables, not to cook for her family. She couldn't start cooking now; if she cooked just one meal, she would have to cook every single one afterward.

She didn't want to be a maid all the time, so Ruolan only talked and didn't lift a finger.
