"007, the new wife that Guo Jingling married really has a heavy hand. When I hit people, it’s with fists and kicks, out in the open. But this woman hits people in secret, and that’s what really hurts."

said, "Zhang Zhaodi’s personality probably takes after her mother. Her mother appears honest and gentle from the outside, but look at how viciously she abuses her own daughters."

"Seems like they’re birds of a feather."

After knowing that Zhang Zhaodi wasn’t a good person either, Yuan Chun no longer felt any sympathy for her.

She finds joy in watching the drama unfold among these families every day.

After the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Mrs. Shen, in the neighboring county, suddenly remembers her eldest daughter, asking Mr. Shen to write a letter to the eldest daughter to ask for money and food.

Ever since money was stolen from the maternal grandparents’ house, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen and the other sister-in-law no longer go to the grandparents’ house to ask for money. However, Eldest Brother Shen and Second Brother Shen’s salaries are no longer given to Mrs. Shen for safekeeping.

The few dozen bucks Mrs. Shen saved were also taken by the two daughters-in-law, splitting it between them.

Mrs. Shen suddenly became penniless, not only losing her savings but also the salaries of her two sons, and her own and Mr. Shen’s salaries weren’t much either, yet they had to take care of this big family’s living expenses.

Even their oldest grandson, who just started elementary school, had his schooling costs covered by them too.

Mrs. Shen became tight on money instantly, without resources and money to support her maternal family, she went back to the maternal family only to be severely scolded by her own mother.

Thus, Mrs. Shen finally thought of her eldest daughter again.

Writing a letter asking her eldest daughter to send money, food, and resources.

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Chun cursed again, "You damned old hag, still trying to suck my blood, pfft... won’t even care if it bursts you."

While Mr. Shen was writing the letter, Eldest Sister-in-law Shen happened to see it and said, "The chestnuts that the youngest sister sent back last time were quite tasty, ask her if there are more, have her send more to the family, also dried mushrooms and black fungus, there’s a lot of people eating here, don’t be afraid of having too much, have her go to the mountains and get more, those things are tasty and can be stored."

Mrs. Shen’s eyes rolled and she said, "My dear, I heard that those mushrooms, black fungus, walnuts, and mountain dates aren’t worth much in the countryside. Have Yuan Chun get more back, if we can’t eat them all, we can sell them."

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, get more, last year during the Lunar New Year, the grains Yuan Chun got haven’t been sent back yet, have her send all the grains back as well."

"And that old hen, tell Yuan Chun to buy and send an old hen here, it’s been ages since I last ate meat," Mrs. Shen said, sounding righteous.

Mr. Shen finished a letter paper, took out another piece, and continued writing, including Mrs. Shen and Eldest Sister-in-law Shen’s requests.

Asking the daughter for supplies with such confidence, Mr. Shen didn’t feel anything was wrong with it; the daughter was raised by him, asking her for things was only natural.

Mrs. Shen further added, "Also, who knows how much money that dead girl got last year, but she didn’t send any to the family. There’s many places where the family needs to spend money, tell her to send all the money back, don’t think about keeping it."

"Mom, the youngest sister is already in her twenties, shouldn’t we find a husband for her?" Eldest Sister-in-law Shen suddenly thought of something, a calculating gleam flashed deep in her eyes.

Mrs. Shen was taken aback, "She’s in the countryside, how do we find one for her?"

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen said, "I heard that if the educated youths marry and return to the city, they don’t have to go back to the countryside. The youngest sister has been in the countryside for so many years, we forgot to care about her marriage. Dad, Mom, over at my maternal side, there’s a relative’s son who’s about the same age as the youngest sister, but he had a fever as a child and got brain damage, though he’s not particularly dumb, just a bit slow to react."
