If Chen Shuning saw Yang Wanqiu's expression right now, he would probably know what Yang Wanqiu was thinking.

Yang Wanqiu, who was wrapped up tightly, first strolled around the backyard as if by chance, until she reached the back of Gu Xinyi's house at the far east end, and made sure that the doors of the rooms inside were locked.

Then he quickly walked back, and as he passed his house, he opened the door and took out a bamboo basket that he had prepared in advance.

Then, heading west, as they passed Zhong Lingling's house, Yang Wanqiu noticed the lock was noticeably larger than before and curled her lip in disdain, inwardly cursing Gu Xinyi for deserving of her fate.

If she hadn't been so blind, ignoring the most suspicious person, Wang Wenfang, and instead falsely accusing her of stealing money, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

If things hadn't escalated, everyone wouldn't have known that Zhong Lingling had money. Now that the news of her losing over two hundred yuan has spread like wildfire in the village, it's normal that people are eyeing her.

It's no wonder that Zhong Lingling will have to live in constant fear from now on, since she wrongly accused her without even knowing the facts.

Yang Wanqiu, who was pondering how to stir things up and get more people to covet the money in Zhong Lingling's hands, hoping to take advantage of the situation herself, passed by Chen Shuning's house.

Upon seeing a lock of the same size, he immediately changed his mind, even though he had suffered quite a few losses at Chen Shuning's hands several times.

But seeing Chen Shuning, who used to be inferior to her in every way, living a better life than her, Yang Wanqiu felt unbalanced. So she started to secretly calculate how much money Chen Shuning had and how she could gain Chen Shuning's trust like before, so that she could swindle things from her.

Although Chen Shuning acted as if he had no money when he compensated her, Yang Wanqiu didn't believe him at all.

Because she had been secretly observing Chen Shuning, even though after He Chaoyang left, the food standards for Chen Shuning and the other two were about the same as those for other educated youth.

Apart from occasionally adding some meat to stews or frying eggs, most of the meals consisted of coarse grain steamed buns and vegetables.

But for some reason, Yang Wanqiu had a feeling that Chen Shuning would often secretly eat good food.

Otherwise, after just over twenty days of autumn harvest, even Wang Chunni had lost a lot of weight, and Yang Xiaohong, who was already thin, now looked like skin and bones.

However, Chen Shuning did not lose weight; instead, she looked a little fatter than before. Her complexion was no longer the pale, bloodless white it used to be, but rather a crystal-clear white, and her eyebrows and eyes were more open.

Her appearance was even more radiant than hers.

With a face like that, who would believe she's not eating well?

Of course, even after experiencing such a bizarre event as rebirth, Yang Wanqiu, who had lived two lives, was unaware of the existence of spatial abilities or spiritual spring water.

So she naturally couldn't have imagined that during the autumn harvest, Chen Shuning, apart from drinking some spiritual spring water from the space every day, really didn't steal any food.

Every day, Chen Shuning ate the same food as Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi. Even with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, she couldn't adapt to the day's work because she had never done farm work before.

Aside from taking a shower in the space every day, my eating and living arrangements are no different from everyone else's.

Yang Wanqiu was unaware of all this, and as she walked, she pondered ways to scheme against Chen Shuning.

When they arrived at Chen Shuning's woodshed, they were initially delighted, thinking that since no one was in the yard at the moment, and Chen Shuning had just acquired so much coal, he might not know how many opportunities he had.

Yang Wanqiu, who planned to steal some and hide it in the house to burn that night, was dumbfounded.

She never dreamed that Chen Shuning would even lock the woodshed. With just a little bit of broken wood and coal, who was Chen Shuning trying to protect herself from?

Because the road connecting the front and back yards is located between Chen Shuning and Zhong Lingling's houses, Yang Wanqiu would pass by Chen Shuning's house every time she went in and out, and naturally she could see the wood piled up in Chen Shuning's woodshed.

Unlike others who only felt a little envious, Yang Wanqiu was truly jealous and resentful, because every time she saw those wooden figures, she would think of the man who ignored her.

Thinking of He Chaoyang intensified Yang Wanqiu's hatred for Chen Shuning.

But at this moment, Yang Wanqiu forgot the purpose of her visit. Those broken pieces of wood and coal that she mentioned were actually the good things that had just made her jealous to the point of madness.

Looking at the sturdy mud-brick wall, the thick wooden door, and the brand-new lock, Yang Wanqiu kicked the wooden door hard in anger.

Grandpa Yang's carpentry skills were truly exceptional; the wooden door was incredibly sturdy. When Yang Wanqiu kicked it, the door didn't budge an inch, but her foot hurt terribly from the excessive force.

Thinking that since the acne had been cleared up, Yang Wanqiu might as well go to the back mountain to take a look. Having failed in her attempt to steal coal, Yang Wanqiu could only reluctantly carry her bamboo basket and head towards the back mountain.

Actually, her room wasn't as cold as Chen Shuning had imagined these past few days, because she hadn't participated in the autumn harvest at all, using the excuse of recuperating from her injuries.

For the first few days, she was indeed resting peacefully in her room, but after the incident with Shen Wenge caused Zhao Qianjin to stop taking care of her, she had to start making plans for her future.

She didn't eat much food. She heard that when the grain was distributed, you could buy it with money, especially for the newly arrived educated youth. Almost everyone had to exchange their grain for money.

So she wasn't too worried about that, but firewood was a problem. You know, in Heisheng, if you don't have a fire in winter, people will really freeze to death.
