A Widow's Journey to Becoming Mistress of the Household

The Jiang clan owns six hundred mu of fertile farmland. All property belongs to the clan, and everyone takes their three meals a day from the communal store. Every household must contribute labor, and any money earned must be handed over. In the end, everyone is rewarded and the proceeds redistributed according to merit. Under this pretense, the Jiang clan members rightly claimed the fertile fields and land acquired by Prefect Jiang as communal property, then used their power for private gain, indulging themselves in food, drink, and all manner of perks. Were she and her orphaned child supposed to starve to death? In her previous life, she was a policewoman who caught pickpockets. Who would have thought that in this life she’d end up on the other side, stealing to support this whole family? Farming is just a front. Growing flowers is for fun, but breeding livestock is the real way to make money.
