Blood accidentally dripped onto the jade pendant and instantly left no trace. Out of curiosity, Su Man focused her attention on the jade pendant and unexpectedly discovered nearly an acre of land and a thatched cottage before her eyes.
Su Man was naturally shocked by this discovery, but after observing, she learned that things planted in that one-acre plot matured faster than those outside, which thrilled her imnsely.
However, the drawback was that she had to personally till and harvest the land, and she couldn’t take anything from the outside into it.
To sum it up in one sentence, crops and vegetables were possible, but they required her own labor.
Su Man had died of illness in the early eighties and had no knowledge of the concept of using "spaces" to get rich; all she knew was Wen Yi’s crescent moon jade pendant had transported her to a place she didn’t understand, which allowed her to have a piece of land where crops grew rapidly, belonging solely to herself.
Therefore, Su Man naturally did not return the jade pendant to Wen Yu.
She concocted sches to coax the little girl and claid the jade pendant for herself.
Secretly speculating, Kang Li at this mont was certain and convinced that Su Man had most likely got her hands on Wen Yu’s crescent moon jade pendant. Su Man had used it to cultivate in that ’chicken rib’ space and then traded food and vegetables in the black market, thus easing her finances significantly and transforming her life.
Jealous?
Kang Li sneered, "What’s there to be envious of when it cos to ’snatching’ other people’s belongings?"
Moreover, that space was a real chicken rib; it couldn’t be upgraded, lacked any sort of spiritual spring, and couldn’t be used as a storage room. If the crops matured and weren’t harvested, they would just rot in the ground.
However, it’s undeniable that in the original plot, the protagonist Su Man indeed made a tidy sum of money through this chicken rib space, then used that money to open shops and factories, amassing a considerable fortune.
"Mom, who is always running out and about, and who takes care of her son at ho, picking up and dropping off Wen Yue and her sisters to and from school?"
Perhaps out of boredom, Kang Li got up and went to her mother’s room, casually took a seat on a chair nearby, and looked at her mother with full curiosity.
Cai Xiufen: "She hired a nanny, twenty-five a month, responsible for looking after Wen Peng at ho and cooking for the family. As for Wen Yue and her sisters going to and from school, Wen Yue takes her two younger sisters to kindergarten in the morning, and then picks them up in the afternoon after school."
"She really trusts people."
Kang Li’s expression was indifferent; shaking her head, she said, "Going to school in the morning is okay, since Wen Yue has to go to school too, but the kindergarten lets out earlier than the elentary school in the afternoon. She lets Wen Yi and Wen Yu stay at the kindergarten to wait for Wen Yue to finish school?"
Cai Xiufen: "Little Su said that waiting a bit longer isn’t a big deal."
"I wonder what Comrade Wen Siyuan will think once he knows."
Given that she’s a stepmother to those children and yet so negligent, on top of swindling the crescent moon jade pendant from little Wen Yu, it seems that this Su Man is indeed a female lead with warped values.
Kang Li didn’t know that just as she suspected Su Man of possessing the crescent moon jade pendant obtained by deception from Wen Yu, by the evening, a storm brewed in the neighboring Wen Family Courtyard because of that pendant. Su Man was so angry she was nearly spitting blood and, at the sa ti, wished she could strangle the three Wen Yue sisters to death.
"That is the jade pendant my mother left for my little sister Little Fish. It has always been around my sister’s neck. If you are not a bad woman, why would you take my little sister’s jade pendant and wear it around your own neck?"
On the way ho from school, Wen Yue finally noticed that the crescent moon jade pendant that used to hang around her sister Wen Yi’s neck was missing. Upon inquiry, she learned that their stepmother had taken it more than a month ago, claiming it would be returned after Wen Peng had his fill of playing with it.
But Wen Yue clearly rembered that she had never seen her brother play with Wen Yu’s crescent moon jade pendant,
