Luo Jingyan had heard that Liu Aiguo was injured while helping Li Hongying find the bloodstone necklace. Could it be that Zhao Wensong was also going up the mountain every day to find something for Li Hongying?

Li Hongying went to great lengths to obtain the chicken-blood stone necklace, even using her former lovers who had become eunuchs.

Li Hongying has given so much, yet she has gained nothing so far. It's unknown how much longer she can persevere.

Jiang Manyue noticed that Luo Jingyan seemed lost in thought. "Jingyan, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I was thinking that when Zhao Wensong went to collect pig manure, he would secretly roast and eat the pigs in the pigsty. But I don't think he would have the guts."

"Hahaha, he definitely doesn't have the guts. If he dared to roast a pig in the pigsty, the commune members would roast him alive," Jiang Manyue said with a laugh.

"Even if you roast it, no one will eat it. It's so awful," Sun Tiantian said with a look of disgust.

"Nobody eats pork anymore, it's too dirty."

Today, Zhuang Feifei also received a small piece of wild boar meat. Since she started living the life of an ordinary person here, she has become quite well-behaved.

Because she had to get along with the people around her, she became much more easygoing and no longer acted arrogantly towards other villagers.

People should assess the situation and adapt to the environment. I no longer have the right to be arrogant. It's better to calm down and return to the masses.

However, it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

Even without space and resources, her ambition remained.

If you can't use the advantages of space and resources to become a superior person, then use your other conditions to change your situation.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She was still young, with a youth and beauty that many people couldn't match, and the assets that men coveted. These could all be used as tools for her to rise to power.

Wanting more—money, status, the envious glances and adulation of others—is nothing more than hooking up with a capable man.

She lacks such people around her now, and she must seize every opportunity to pave a smooth road for herself.

After dreaming about all this, the hunger in her stomach pulled her back to reality.

There's nothing she can do but lie low for now; one day she'll make a name for herself.

She took the pork to the kitchen; she hadn't eaten meat for many days and planned to cook it for lunch.

She was cutting meat when suddenly someone came in from outside.
