I was the most shameless stepmother in the compound. In order for my stepson and stepdaughter to have enough to eat, I quarreled with my neighbors over briquettes and went to the black market to buy food stamps. In order for my husband to get promoted, I shamelessly went to the leader's house to deliver local specialties. People rolled their eyes. They all said that I was vulgar, uneducated, and a village woman who only knew how to act mischievously. In the end, my husband became the chief, and my stepson and stepdaughter became a professor and doctor.
