Chewing Tree Bark in the Famine, Then Escaping to Modern Times to Get Rich

(A modern village and an ancient village transmigrate between worlds!) Dawan Village transmigrated from the Great Xia dynasty to the modern era. Back in Great Xia, the villagers had never had enough to eat or wear, faced crushing taxes, and were forced into labor service.

Overnight, they found themselves in the twenty-first century.

They would escape poverty and get rich!

Granny Ma: What a great deal! Does this mean we can eat meat at every meal from now on?

You bet!

Free medical care, so they could all be healthy!

Song Changgen, who had been bedridden for years and could finally stand again, wept with joy. “Thank you! Thank you!”

Women can hold up half the sky. You should all make your lives your own.

All school-age children must attend school. Nine years of compulsory education cannot be abandoned.

Tiedan: I’m not going to school. I want to farm. If I farm well, I can get a wife and have a son, and my son can keep farming.

Only by going to school can you learn to farm more scientifically. If you don’t go to school, you’ll never get a wife.

Xu Fei, a history graduate, became the new village chief of Dawan Village after it transmigrated from ancient times to the modern world.

Her goal was to lead a group of ancient people out of poverty and into prosperity in the modern era.

But…

Her best friend Wen Xin and modern-day Dawan Village had transmigrated to ancient times!

Wen Xin was close to tears. The moment she transmigrated, she had to lead a village full of elderly people and children into the mountains to hide. With refugees and bandits outside, life was so hard! Mom, Motherland, when are you coming back to bring us home to the modern world and our comfortable lives? Mom, Motherland, please make sure you bring your children stranded in another world back home.

The ancient Dawan Village had transmigrated to the modern era, while the modern Dawan Village had gone to ancient times.
