Period setting, countryside, raising children, building wealth, everyday family life
Jiang Yu transmigrates into a book as the mother of two children in a period novel. Her family has nothing, and the original owner spent all their money supporting her younger sister and “lover.”
Worse still, the children don't love her, and even her husband, a soldier, is thinking of divorcing her. It's no wonder, given how terribly the original owner behaved.
But that's all right. Jiang Yu is cheerful and has a real knack for making money.
In an era where gold seems to be lying everywhere, buying property and starting a business are what matter most.
When the male lead comes home, he finds a tidy house, rice in the jar, vegetables in the kitchen, and even the two children looking like city kids. Shen Ying watches the woman in an apron bustling around, and falls into thought:
Surely she hasn't taken the wrong medicine?
Oh well, she's probably only keeping this up for a few days to make a show of it. He doesn't expect anything from her.
…
“Wife, let me hand over my wages. Can we just live a good life together?”
Shen Ying takes her hand and gives her all the money he's saved over the years.
“I heard the osmanthus cakes at the west end of town are good, too. I'll buy you some tomorrow.”
Jiang Yu twitches.
She owns the shop herself. There's no need to make money off her own family.
Jiang Yu looks at her usually cold and distant husband, who's now acting like a lovesick puppy, and doesn't quite know how to handle him.
“Since I've been so obedient, how about we don't get divorced? Besides, the kids are waiting for their mom at home.”
