[Period setting + sent-down youth + punishing scumbags + face-slapping + space + exploiting bargains]
Qiao Qingqing was betrayed by her childhood sweetheart, causing her family to have a week's worth of food rations confiscated. The family of four was freezing and starving in a cowshed at temperatures below minus twenty degrees, and they were on the verge of collapse.
Looking at her family, who were about to freeze to death, Qiao Qingqing's eyes filled with tears. Was this really how they were going to die? The scumbag and his mistress hadn't gotten what they deserved yet. She couldn't accept it.
Her lips cracked from the cold, and blood seeped into her braces. Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes.

A pound of pork for one cent.
A thick cotton coat for one cent.
Ten pounds of vegetables for one cent.
In the resource-starved life of a sent-down youth, others ate coarse corn buns while she ate meat; others ate tree bark while she had white rice; others spent every day looking for wild vegetables while she spent every day exploiting bargains…
During their time in the countryside, Qiao Qingqing and her family always had plenty to eat and warm clothes to wear.
But her childhood sweetheart, now starving and freezing, regretted what he'd done.
“Qingqing, we're the ones who truly love each other!”
The handsome high-ranking official who had always liked Qiao Qingqing furrowed his brow and punched Wang Jianguo, sending him flying.
“What makes you think you're in my league? You think you can compete with me?”
