Sister He looked at Ye Ling and smiled helplessly.
She knew that Ye Ling wasn't a bad person, so she didn't hide anything. She explained, "I used to secretly pick herbs and sell them, so I still had to work in the production team."
Seeing Ye Ling's confusion, Sister He continued, "After I left my husband's house, the villagers sympathized with me. When my husband caused trouble for me, they would help. But if they found out I could make good money picking herbs, they wouldn't feel the need to help me."
The villagers did not have any bad intentions, but human nature was like this. They would have sympathy for the weak, but once the people around them lived better than them, they would feel unbalanced.
The hardships in life made Sister He understand many hidden truths. For the sake of her two daughters' future, she had to consider many details.
Ye Ling finally understood and admired Sister He's intelligence.
