Aside from hearing about Lu Yi's situation, Anning also learned about Li Zhifang and Wang Baozhu's affairs.
These days, life has not been easy for Li Zhifang and Wang Baozhu.
Li Zhifang's contracted forests and fishponds have been producing less, his chickens got sick, and after much hurry-scurry, more than half of them died.
And Wang Baozhu was the kind of person who didn't lift a finger in productive work.
She came back expecting to enjoy life, not to suffer hardships.
All the farming work at home was done by Li Zhifang alone, with Wang Baozhu not offering any help at all.
The key issue was that Wang Baozhu didn't even cook; Li Zhifang would come home after a day's work only to find no hot meal waiting for him.
Li Zhifang's life was becoming progressively harder.
Back when Anning was still around, Li Zhifang used to dress neatly and tidily. Anning always made sure to prepare clothes for him when the season changed.
