Is the Heavenly Dao's favorite daughter born with thick skin?
She organized the money and tickets and put them into her storage space, which is now full of supplies.
She couldn't fit anything else in, but she could still slip in some money or tickets. Then she took out two pairs of rubber shoes.
She was sent to the countryside in Jiang Province, where rice is mainly grown, the kind that is harvested twice a year.
Other crops like corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and wheat are also planted in small quantities, but the yields are low, and the team members work in the fields year-round.

Everyone knows about rubber shoes, but even salt is too precious to buy. Who has the spare money to buy rubber shoes to wear?
She had seen that scene as soon as she arrived, and it really scared her. She was afraid that if she had come any later, that thing would have sucked all her blood out.
Suti got goosebumps just thinking about it.
"Wife, are you going to take a bath? I've prepared a new wooden tub for you."
