While Wang Shouwang's family was brimming with joy, Gao Yuzhu was enveloped in gloom. Having lost his accounting job, he had to join other villagers in the fields, working for their share, keeping accounts as before. Tian Qiusheng, meanwhile, drifted leisurely around the village office, keeping accounts and enjoying tea, exceedingly content.
After a day's labor, Gao Yuzhu was exhausted like a dog; as soon as he returned home, he collapsed on the bed, too tired to even change his clothes. Tian Chunfang was also incredibly weary. Previously, with her husband as the accountant, she could do less work since the accounts were his concern and she could still claim full work shares.
Now things had changed. Her elder brother was stern and impartial, and he still remembered the resentment from when Yuzhu took his accounting job; he certainly wouldn't look after her. Therefore, to earn more work shares, Tian Chunfang had to work herself to the brink of death.
