Synopsis

No transmigration or rebirth + farming and prosperity + warmth and unity

It was a year of famine. Wu Jingqiu's family was so poor they could barely feed themselves. Her mother was sick, her younger sister was still little, and her wicked uncle and aunt were plotting to sell her. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and managed to escape.

When the attempt to sell her failed, her aunt hurriedly drove the family out of their home. With nowhere else to go, Wu Jingqiu and her family had no choice but to move into a dilapidated house in the village where someone had recently died. The house was communal property, and they had to pay a sufficient amount of grain within six months, or risk being evicted.

Wu Jingqiu gritted her teeth and swore to protect her family.

The family went about their usual routine, heading up the mountain and working the fields.

The people of Leshan Village thought the Wu family was having a terribly hard time.

Who knew that before long, the Wu family's life wouldn't just improve, it would positively flourish?

A crop no one had ever seen before grew in the barren fields that no one wanted. The harvest was far beyond anyone's expectations, and soon the granary and cellar were overflowing.

They had flocks of chickens and ducks, renovated their house, bought land, and set up vegetable gardens, orchards, and a livestock farm.

Before long, the villagers were following Wu Jingqiu on the road to prosperity through farming.

Her uncle and aunt, who had once callously cast the family aside, returned in disgrace. Seeing how much the Wu family had changed, they regretted it bitterly.

Her uncle and aunt fell to their knees in remorse. "We were wrong. We're family, after all. Blood is thicker than water. Give us another chance!"

Wu Jingqiu's expression was cold. "Never!"

The burly man who was always by her side raised his hard fist. "Get lost! If you come near her again, I'll make you find out for yourselves whether broken bones can be put back together..."

Farming Stories with All Kinds of Food Discoveries, a Decent Family, and Some Comeuppance for the Villains

Something like discovering all kinds of delicious food in an era where everything is still unknown. Preferably over a thousand chapters. I want a one-on-one romance and a money system that isn't all over the place. It's hard to accept when buying vegetables costs one or two taels, but selling some wild game gets you dozens of taels.

Please Recommend Pure Farming Stories: No Politics, a Normal Rise to Wealth, Nothing Too Far-Fetched

If it's a transmigration story, I hope the heroine doesn't keep doing things that are way ahead of her time, like giving someone artificial respiration.

Slow-Paced Stories About Farming, Stability, and a Peaceful Life

The heroine lives in the mountains, supports herself, grows crops and vegetables, and goes up the mountain to hunt for wild game. She has no family, and ideally the male lead is on his own too. No awful relatives or female rivals. I especially love stories about a happy, peaceful life. Maybe it's because life is already so exhausting.

I'm looking for a farming story where the heroine stays in the countryside, tending her fields and cooking, then marries an honest, handsome farmer. Ideally, she spends her whole life in the village and never leaves. Any recommendations?
