After marrying the man she had always dreamed of, Xie Fang thought her life would be much the same as her married life in her previous life.

But after staying at the He family's house for only half a month, she changed her mind.

There are too many monsters and demons in the He family. Not only is there an old lady He causing trouble at the top, but there are also all sorts of messy sisters-in-law squeezing them out.

Xie Fang, who grew up being favored by her uncle, had married into the Shuang Li family in her previous life and lived a peaceful life.

She was utterly inept at palace intrigue, domestic power struggles, and street fights; she couldn't possibly handle the He family's large group of scoundrels. She had originally fantasized that with her virtuousness, she could surely subdue that entire family.

You know, that's how she established herself in her husband's family in her previous life, and then she gave birth to a son right away. Apart from the hardship of working in the fields, she really didn't suffer any humiliation.

After marrying into the He family, in addition to managing household chores, working in the fields, and dealing with the strange and difficult things the He family members did during the day.

She had to make sure He Shan was comfortable before she could go to sleep. Xie Fang felt that she had never been this tired, even during the most difficult time of her past life.

I can fall asleep even sitting next to a chair, it's so awful!

The thought that her sister-in-law had married him after He Shan had left with nothing made Xie Fang feel incredibly resentful!

She cursed inwardly at how lucky that girl, who wasn't even as good-looking as her, was!

At the same time, she resented Xie Shuigen for meddling in her affairs. If only the engagement had been dissolved earlier!

Now that the engagement is off, she can stay at her parents' home and slowly cultivate her relationship with He Shan. There's no need to rush into giving herself away, making herself seem like cheap goods.

Two years later, He Shan leaves the He family, and she marries him in a grand and glorious way. Wouldn't that be better for both of them?

Unfortunately, her uncle, who ate everything and had nothing better to do, got involved, which ultimately forced her to marry in that way.

Xie Fang's teeth were aching terribly, and just when she was in unbearable pain, she suddenly remembered something.

In her memory, Xie Ming, who died young, seemed to have a job. It was after he returned from repairing the reservoir that he seemed to have gained the favor of some important person.

Later, that cousin foolishly got involved with a "black five categories" person, and was eventually beaten to death by someone on the street. He also lost his job because of the shame.

Thinking about his job, Xie Fang's mind started working. Since he was going to lose it anyway, why not let her have it first? She would definitely work hard to keep her job.

The thought of being able to hold her head high in front of the He family in the future filled Xie Fang with excitement.

To be honest, Xie Ming also had a job recently! If she could take over the job, she would move to the county and bring He Shan with her so he could start earning money sooner.

When the two of them live in the county, it will be almost the same as if they have separated their households, even if they haven't actually separated.

Xie Fang became even more determined and secretly resolved to get that job.

Xie Fang then recalled that the "Five Black Categories" member later married his younger sister, Xie Laidi.

She pursed her lips; everyone knew that the man only married her sister to repay Xie Ming for shielding him from disaster.

If she could endure the hardship of the next ten years or so, she would definitely have gone with that "black five categories" person. After all, their future wasn't bad.

Forget it, I'll just let that brat have it first.

Fortunately, He Shan is not bad either. If the two brothers-in-law visit each other more often, her future will be bright!

The three Xie brothers couldn't control the complicated thoughts in Xie Fang's mind, because they had encountered a problem.

That day, early in the morning, several elderly people in the village, taking advantage of the fact that there wasn't much work to do in the fields, took the three brothers to the village office.

Their village has never had a fixed brigade leader; the village secretary was sent from above.

The village's brigade leader is a group of respected elders who take turns serving.

Being the village head was incredibly difficult. The village was so poor that every time they went to a meeting, they would cry poverty and beg for relief grain.

They're all old and really don't want to do it. The villagers know it's a thankless task, so they keep pushing it onto a few elderly people every year.

Now they approached the three brothers and told them they wanted to give up their positions so the three brothers could take turns.

Xie Ming was still quite surprised by this change. In his previous life, the village's brigade leader was not appointed until the educated youth went to the countryside.

It's funny, but the village's brigade leader was later a sent-down youth.

Don't think there's any profit to be made here. The villagers are all refugees; there's no such thing as a community.

In the whole village, you can hardly find any families that are related. It's like this: today I'll hug someone from your family, tomorrow I'll hug someone from another family. As long as there's no conflict of interest, everyone can hug each other.

It's impossible for the village chief to use his official power to try and get some benefits from a few families.

As for the division of labor in the fields? Not much grain could be grown in the fields, so everyone was eyeing the jobs with the highest work points.

Everyone has to take turns, and those who don't get a turn will really starve to death.

It's a matter of life and death, so which family would give the village chief face? That's why being the village chief in this village is especially difficult.

Now that the elders had brought it up, Xie Ming thought about his future plans and, on behalf of his two brothers, agreed.

However, he also suggested that he and his eldest brother would not take the position, but rather the 17-year-old third brother would.

Judging from his past life, the third brother was quite intelligent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to uncover those things. It's a pity he was ruined by those two beautiful sisters before he could fully mature.

Xie Ming wouldn't mind nurturing him throughout his life, and the third brother is the one who has persisted in studying the longest among the three brothers.

It's just that I didn't have enough money to finish junior high, otherwise I would be in high school now.

Now that Xie Ming is here, it's still possible for him to pass the junior high school entrance exam.

The elders were reluctant to hand over the responsibility to a 17-year-old boy until Xie Ming promised to support his younger brother, at which point they relented.

Once outside, Xie Ming had a feeling he'd been tricked. Could those old geezers have already set their sights on the third brother, and he was just a henchman?
