The mistress is not a bad person, her character allows her to maintain decent fairness, neither treats harshly nor shows favoritism.
So Shen Tan's situation is: he won't starve to death, but he can't even hope to be full. Alive, but no different from dead.
Until she discovered——
The food and clothing provided by the mistress were all according to the rules, no more, no less, just enough to prevent her from being gossiped about by outsiders. And her sister-in-law, the girl who was favored by the whole family, was quietly pushing her marriage into the fire pit.
"Since no one can be trusted, I will fight for myself."
She counts people's hearts, determines situations, and takes care of things step by step. Quietly, he turned a bad deck of cards into a king.

They are all people who crawled out of the mud and learned to kill with a smile.
