Jiang Yue'er stood there for a long time. She felt dizzy and her mind went blank. She couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Jiang Chen cheated on her, and even her two devoted admirers, Qi Yang and Xiao Liang, no longer like her!

There are many, many more people.

Those who once liked her and treated her well, whether they were family, friends, or admirers, all seem to have disappeared from her life one by one.

She was startled to realize that there seemed to be no one behind her!

After Jiang Yue'er left in a daze, Wen Li and Niu Zhaodi emerged from behind the hillside.

After watching this scene, both of them had somewhat complicated expressions.

Qi Yang is truly heartless. Jiang Yue'er saved his life, after all. When he liked Jiang Yue'er, he acknowledged her as a life-saving grace, but when he no longer liked her, he called it "lending a hand."

How utterly hypocritical!

So, how many of the men in the original book who liked Jiang Yue'er were truly sincere?

They probably only pretended to be affectionate after seeing how useful Jiang Yue'er was!

Niu Zhaodi had a different focus: "Four or five hundred yuan! I never imagined that Qi, the educated youth, was so rich!"

"envious?"

"Hehe, of course! I've never seen so much money in my entire life!" Niu Zhaodi said truthfully.

"You could save this much money just by not sending your earnings and food home!"

Niu Zhaodi is a brainwashed, brother-obsessed woman. Over the years, she has earned so many work points every day, yet she is reluctant to spend money on food or clothing, and often takes advantage of others.

They even swindled so much money from Tang Shi. If she had saved that money, she wouldn't be living such a frugal life.

"How can that be? What if I get married and my in-laws bully me? Who will stand up for me then?"

"Now that you're living like this, has your brother ever thought about you?"

Niu Zhaodi: "He's still young and doesn't understand. He'll know how to care for me when he grows up!"

Seeing that she was still making excuses for her younger brother Yaozu, Wen Li shook her head and said nothing more.

These people have been brainwashed since childhood, and trying to explain things to them is simply a pipe dream.

She can still get by now, but when she can't get by anymore and reaches a desperate situation, she might have an epiphany one day.

Of course, it's very possible that he'll never realize it until he dies!

"Let's go back, it's a bit cold!"

Jiang Yue'er returned home in a daze, and Jiang Chen started making a fuss again.

She walked to the room where Jiang Chen was locked up. When she opened the door, a stench hit her.

She suppressed her nausea, walked over to Jiang Chen, and squatted down in front of him. Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Yue'er with a blank expression.

In less than a month, Jiang Chen became so thin that he was unrecognizable. In order to prevent him from having the energy to make a fuss, Jiang Yue'er gave him two steamed buns and water every day.

At this moment, his hair was messy, his beard was stubble, his lips were chapped, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were covered with various unidentified substances. He was completely unrecognizable from his former handsome self.

Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Chen's dark hands grabbed Jiang Yue'er's wrist.

"Sister, I want to go out and play!"

Jiang Yue'er felt a sticky sensation on her wrist, and without thinking, she slapped Jiang Chen across the face.

"Who gave you permission to touch me?"

Jiang Chen felt wronged after being hit, crying, "Waaah, you hit me! You're a bad person, you're a bad person!"

Jiang Yue'er looked at the person rolling on the ground, her disgust almost beyond words.

Thinking of the frustrating days she'd been living lately, she picked up the broom beside her and lashed it at Jiang Chen with all her might.

Jiang Chen was tied up and writhed on the ground in pain, howling loudly. The neighbors heard the commotion and ran over.

Upon arrival, they saw Jiang Yue'er frantically slapping Jiang Chen.

"Moon, stop hitting her! Stop it now!"

Several aunties stepped forward to stop Jiang Yue'er, who stopped, her eyes bloodshot and panting.

It wasn't until she realized what she had done that she understood!

When the aunties saw Jiang Chen in this terrible state, they all started nagging again.

Jiang Yue'er was extremely impatient: "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. If you're so capable, why don't you take care of him yourselves!"

The aunties objected, "What are you saying? He's your man, why should we take care of him?"

"Exactly, they've taken my kindness for granted!"

"Your parents didn't approve of you two being together before, but you insisted on being with him. Now that he's mentally unstable, you're starting to look down on him?"

Jiang Yue'er was ridiculed, and thinking about her current situation, she collapsed and sat on the ground crying.

Seeing that she was upset, the aunties who had just spoken felt bad and comforted Jiang Yue'er for a few words before leaving.

The last aunt said earnestly, "Yue'er, stop hitting Jiang Zhiqing. He's still your man. Teach him a lesson; he'll understand!"

Jiang Yue'er sat for a long time before wiping away her tears and standing up.

No one knew what she was thinking. She boiled water, washed Jiang Chen clean, and then changed him into clean clothes.

Perhaps feeling more comfortable, Jiang Chen stopped making a fuss and obediently let Jiang Yue'er do as she pleased.

"Ah Chen, do you want some candy?"

Looking at Jiang Yue'er's gentle smiling face, Jiang Chen nodded subconsciously, "I want to eat!"

"Okay, then you have to be good. If you're good, I'll give you candy, okay?"

"Great, here's candy!" Jiang Chen clapped his hands loudly.

Over the next few days, Jiang Yue'er cooked many delicious meals for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had enough to eat and now he had energy.

Although he was simple-minded, he was able to listen to Jiang Yue'er's patient guidance.

Occasionally, Jiang Yue'er would take him for a stroll in the village. Everyone praised her for keeping Jiang Chen clean and tidy.

Everyone felt that her previous mistreatment of Jiang Chen was understandable.

After all, Jiang Yue'er is only twenty years old. Jiang Chen is just mentally challenged, but he is in good health. Who can accept taking care of a mentally challenged person for decades?

As time went by, the weather gradually warmed up.

The village is about to start working again. After resting for several months, everyone is a little unaccustomed to it.

On her first day of work, Wen Li discovered that Jiang Yue'er had been reassigned to their team as a scorekeeper.

Jiang Chen also went to work with her. As for the three children, she asked an old woman in the village to help take care of them, paying her two yuan a month.

The job of a scorekeeper is easy, and Jiang Yue'er can even go home to see her children from time to time.

Every time Jiang Yue'er saw Wen Li, she would teach Jiang Chen to recognize her.

Wen Li couldn't understand what Jiang Yue'er was trying to do. She didn't think Jiang Yue'er would easily let go of her hatred, and she hadn't let her guard down at all.

Another month passed, and the snow on the back mountain completely melted. Wild grass and trees on the mountain began to sprout green buds, and the barren trees came back to life.

Everything looks vibrant, wildflowers are blooming in profusion, and wild vegetables are at their freshest right now.

After finishing their work, everyone went to the back mountain to dig for wild vegetables.

After eating dried vegetables for several months, everyone was eager to go to the back mountain to eat fresh wild vegetables.

Jiang Yue'er took good care of Jiang Chen over the past month.

Jiang Chen was relatively obedient; at least he stopped making a scene and occasionally helped with chores under Jiang Yue'er's guidance.

Wen Li knew that Jiang Yue'er hadn't given up; she was looking for an opportunity.

An opportunity to kill her!
