Protagonist:

Chai Mi

As the saying goes, one cent stumps even heroes and good men...

The saying also goes, no money at all stumps a million soldiers...

The saying doesn't go, having not a single cent and still being forced to live through famine years—how to get by.

Chai Youqing was exactly in this situation: crops planted year after year, harvested year after year, after food, clothing, and daily expenses, his pockets were empty, not a single cent left.

And this was built on the foundation that he had done no less work and suffered no less hardship.

Of course, eighty percent of Chai Youqing's energy was spent working for Chai Mi's grandparents. Chai Mi's family had only three people and was allocated land totaling seven or eight mu, plus some newly cleared land, about twelve or thirteen mu in all.

The annual harvest was only four or five thousand yuan. If the year was bad, income would drop sharply.

Chai Mi knew that Chai Youqing and her mother Su Wan lived frugally all day, but it still did no good.

They didn't earn money, so how could they save money?

What Chai Mi said to Chai Youqing was no joke.

Earning money—the whole family could work hard to earn money.

But if a wolf in sheep's clothing appeared, it would be troublesome.

After speaking, Chai Mi cooked by herself.

Simply making breakfast, Chai Mi woke Chai Xiu up to eat.

While eating, Chai Xiu seemed to have heard what Chai Mi had just said, and said softly: "Sister, why don't I just stop going to school? I'll go earn money to support the family."

Chai Mi rolled her eyes at Chai Xiu, tapped her head with chopsticks: "Just eat your rice honestly. Tell me, what can you do? You're so small, you still need others to serve you meals, and you want to earn money? You don't even know how to sell your misery..."

Chai Xiu lowered her head and continued eating.

Although Chai Xiu was very well-behaved, she was naturally innocent, had a weak personality, and poor psychological resilience; letting her study, Chai Mi was afraid she couldn't keep up with lessons and would cry when she got home.

"Earning money is tiring, Xiu'er. Your task is very simple: study hard from now on. I don't expect you to become successful, but I just hope you won't be sold as a fool by others and even pay them for it."

Previous life...

Chai Mi sighed, better not to mention it.

Just as she was eating, Chai Mi saw Zhang Hailan and Liu San, a couple, coming over.

Chai Mi hurriedly welcomed them in and asked: "It's so early in the morning, why did you two come so early?"

Zhang Hailan pointed at Liu San, pouted and said: "Your cousin came back last night, heard me and him nagging about going to your old home to watch the show, he didn't know what was going on, was afraid something was wrong on your side, and insisted on coming."

"Sigh... I thought something was wrong." Chai Mi smiled: "Don't worry about me, what could happen to me. Have you eaten? Eat something."

"We've eaten, ate early this morning. I didn't think you told your sister-in-law yesterday that you had something on your side, so I came to take a look. Just now I passed by your old home, I saw nothing was wrong. Chai Mi, tell me, what's going on after all?" Liu San was still very worried about Chai Mi.

"Wait a moment, no rush. I think it'll be soon."

Chai Mi brewed tea and persuaded them a few more words, but Liu San and Zhang Hailan said they had really already eaten, so they sat on small wooden stools drinking tea.

Chai Mi wasn't in a hurry either, eating slowly.

The few people chatted with one sentence here and there.

Just then, the front courtyard old home suddenly let out a voice for the first time, scaring the few people half to death.

"Wang Huirong, come out for me. You heartless old woman, you shameless old hag, you're biased to the extreme, let's talk this out properly today—Chai Lao San and Chai Dajun are in the hospital, it's your money, my family's Chai Min got into high school, why don't you pay the tuition!"
