Feng Qingxue chuckled softly, "Ajiang and I have some connections and ways of getting things, and our salaries aren’t low either.

Look at the year’s prospects; the Wanglou Brigade is bound for another bumper harvest. Sister and the elder ladies shouldn’t worry about food. Here, there will always be enough to eat."
