Facing her three sallow stepchildren, she used her agricultural knowledge to secretly improve her private land. The potato grafting increased the yield, the corn interplanting was successful, and the children finally had enough to eat. But the shadow of the original owner's abuse loomed over her. The night her husband Lin Weiguo returned home, the children suddenly accused her of hiding food. Just when she was about to be criticized, a severe drought swept through the village.
