The Wicked First Wife: Farming and Raising Kids, All in a Day’s Work

Lin Xiaoxiao, a hopeless romantic, was talked into eloping by a concubine-born son of a general's household. What? The scumbag had a mistress and three children? And worst of all, he'd run off with her, leaving Lin Xiaoxiao with two sons and a daughter.

Destitute, Lin Xiaoxiao beat and berated the three children until, one day, she got it into her head to go after Ling Jin'er. Ling Zixuan, the eldest of the Ling family, killed her with a single blow from a stick.

While on vacation, Lin Xiaoxiao transmigrated by accident. Looking at the most primitive thatched hut before her, then at Ling Zixuan, who was like a wild wolf cub, she felt like crying. Heavens above, earth below, had she been exiled? Complaining aside, life had to go on. In this unfamiliar village, Lin Xiaoxiao earned money to improve their lives while patiently guiding the three little ones.

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao felt their prospects were looking brighter, the Ling family's second son found a baby on their doorstep. Looking at the baby boy in her arms, who was grinning at her, Lin Xiaoxiao wondered why his features seemed so familiar.

Then one day, she rescued a handsome man in the mountains. Later, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the man and the four children. “Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with these four little ones?”

The man's mouth twitched. “There is a connection, but not much of one.”

After the mystery of the four children's origins was solved,

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him with a faint smile. “So this is what you meant by ‘there is a connection, but not much of one.’”

Seeing the scorn in her eyes, the man looked flustered. “Xiaoxiao, let me make an excuse for you. No, I mean, let me explain.”

“An explanation is a cover-up, a cover-up means it's true, and if it's true, then it really happened.

The ancients were right. A man's mouth is a lying ghost. I'd sooner believe ghosts exist than believe a word that comes out of a man's mouth.”
