Everyone in the family despised Su Wen, except for Su Pingping, who didn’t hate her but envy.

“That arrogant girl,” Zhang Chunxiang seethed as she settled onto the bench. “She looks down on me just because she has money. I’m her second aunt! How dare she kick us out earlier?”

“I know. She’s secretly mocking me!” Zhang Chunxiang faced numerous challenges in life, but this month had been particularly brutal. The entire village was laughing at her. Yet, Zhang Chunxiang was shameless. Despite the ridicule, fear didn’t touch her.

Wang Yongmei was too embarrassed to show her face after being criticized for adopting a daughter, but Zhang Chunxiang only stayed indoors for a few days. After all, she wasn’t the one who had sinned worse than a beast—Su Xuewu.

If anyone dared to gossip about her, she would confront them face to face.

“She kicked you out?” Su Pingping gasped in disbelief. She hadn’t expected Su Wen to be so audacious. It was truly something to envy.

“Yes. She’s arrogant now, but she’ll pay the price eventually. She thinks she’s invincible,” Zhang Chunxiang declared, resolved not to let Su Wen grow complacent. They had no money, they couldn’t even afford necessities like oil and salt.

Su Xuewu could no longer work as an accountant, leaving the family without a source of income, and Su Pingfan, her brother, only knew how to spend money. Zhang Chunxiang had used up her secret savings.

Now, with little money left, how could Zhang Chunxiang not be jealous when she saw Su Wen’s wealth?

She needed to find a way to earn money.

Zhang Chunxiang was experienced when it came to making money. She had taken advantage of many situations over the years. Her eyes gleamed as she thought of an idea. “I heard that the little br*t bought a lot of luxurious items when she returned from the provincial capital. There are plenty of them. The whole village heard about it, right?”

“Oh, nothing much. I just want her to share some of her wealth with her elders.”

“But… But Su Wen doesn’t listen to you anymore. She doesn’t send us anything like before.” Su Wen used to send over all the good things from home. However, Su Wen’s attitude had changed drastically, and no one could take advantage of her anymore.

“Ha! It’s all because you’re useless. That girl used to be arrogant when she was dirt poor. Now that she’s rich, everyone behaves in front of her. She’s lost respect for her elders!”

Zhang Chunxiang found the sudden change in her parents’ attitude strange. In the past, they were not as approachable as they were now. Su Wen used to be obedient in front of her elders.

“Maybe Grandpa and Grandma have realized something,” Su Pingping suggested hesitantly.

“Realized what? Useless and old fools,” Zhang Chunxiang snapped. “We’re broke now. If we don’t find a way to get something, our whole family will starve.”

This time, Su Pingping was speechless. As the one responsible for cooking and household chores, she knew best that there wasn’t even any salt left in the house. Yesterday, her mother had given her one dollar to buy oil and salt, but her brother had snatched it away.

Su Pingping cried for a long time.

“So… What should we do?” she asked, her voice trembling.

“The old trick: borrowing from others,” Zhang Chunxiang mentioned borrowing, but in truth, it meant stealing..
