My Kid Warned Me About the Locust Plague, but I Didn’t Believe Them. Why Regret It Now, Fleeing Famine?

[Precognitive dreams + fleeing famine + farming + pocket dimension + natural disasters + no romance]

“Mom, help me! Grandma’s going to beat me to death!”

When Bai Lian opens her eyes again, she discovers that she has transmigrated. Not only is she a widow, she also has a four-year-old daughter of her own, Zhou Ya, who is crying outside the house and begging her to save her!

After rescuing her daughter from her vicious mother-in-law, Bai Lian learns why the girl was beaten. Zhou Ya had dreamed that her second uncle would fail the imperial exam and that a locust plague would strike soon, and she told her grandmother about both things.

Old Madam Zhou thinks Zhou Ya is cursing her son to fail the exam, so she beats the girl in a rage.

Only after the second son of the Zhou family really does fail does Bai Lian realize that her daughter can actually see the future in her dreams.

The Zhou family refuses to believe a locust plague is coming, so Bai Lian has no choice but to take her daughter to her parents’ home. She gets her family and the villagers to harvest their grain early, and they manage to escape the disaster.

The family barely has time to rest. Just after waking from her midday nap, her daughter tells her she has dreamed that the imperial court is going to war. Soon, officials will come to conscript men and requisition grain. Because the village harvested early, corrupt officials will ransack it, and then refugees fleeing famine will break into homes and rob the villagers, leaving many dead and wounded.

Bai Lian turns pale with fright and hurries to ask the village head to lead the whole village in fleeing.

On the road, the Bai family, well supplied with grain and weapons, fares far better than the other villages. When the Zhou family hears about it, they shamelessly come begging Bai Lian not to abandon them, claiming to be full of regret and pleading with her for the sake of their family ties.

Instead, Bai Lian and her daughter eat chicken legs right in front of them, taking big bites. Bai Lian says through a mouthful, “You want my food? Dream on! Want some fart, too?”

Her daughter, now renamed Bai Zhenzhu, disagrees: “No, we’re eating meat, so the farts are nutritious!”
