The Whole Village Calls Me Poor and Wicked, but I Strike It Rich Foraging in the Mountains

I binged it all in one go, it's great! Here are a few points that fans of non-romance stories care about: the female lead's appearance isn't described, there are no scenes where she's mistaken for a young woman, all the people her age have partners, the widower has no romantic involvement with her, the logic throughout is sound, there are no scenes of getting rich quick by selling ginseng or…

It's really good, but the ending was a bit sad. On one hand, I felt that the female lead, who had already transmigrated and had four grown-up children, was able to straighten them out and they were obedient. She was even older than her husband and had a higher generation in the family. It was so satisfying to see her leading a group of obedient children to build a fortune.

It's quite good, though still being updated. The best part of this story is that the protagonist doesn't date or get married. Many similar stories spend a lot of time later on showing the protagonist falling in love, and then a lot more on how she can still have a passionate romance even though her children are grown and she has grandchildren. Can't the protagonist just enjoy life on her own?

I devoured all of the author's other books in one go, and I feel this one is the best. It has great potential, though there are still some shortcomings. Overall, it's excellent and highly recommended! 🤭🤭 Every character is vividly portrayed. It's not a fast-paced, wish-fulfillment story; it's a slow-paced, gradual unfolding of life.

I highly recommend this novel. It really resonated with me. The author is amazing; it's rare to find a book that can so deeply evoke the reader's emotions. The protagonist is resolute and, despite lacking any special advantages after transmigrating, remains calm and composed, bravely facing his situation.

It was quite enjoyable to read. The female lead is decisive and efficient, without any troublesome extended family members. Even the two troublemakers were subdued by her. The other characters are also well-developed. A memorable scene was when the two troublemakers teamed up to sabotage her, with one of them hanging himself at the other's doorstep – quite realistic.

Hahaha, I laughed so hard I was pounding the bed! It's hilarious! Although the female lead's sons and daughters were raised badly by the original owner, they're slowly improving under her combined kindness and strictness. Everyone grows under her guidance, and their interactions are both heartwarming and funny.

Overall, it's a heartwarming story. The only downside is the portrayal of the "extreme" characters; everything else is quite good. There's no overnight fortune-telling; it's a step-by-step, down-to-earth narrative. The female lead doesn't have that arrogant, selfish feel typical of transmigrated women. The writing style is humorous and engaging, making it easy to read and full of witty remarks.

Each character is well-portrayed; they are intelligent, straightforward, and readily admit their mistakes. The rustic, everyday language of the countryside is fitting, as there aren't many handsome men and beautiful women, and certainly no powerful figures. In modern times, how many rural people have actually seen real powerful people?

It's a great read; it depicts the gradual accumulation of wealth, and the prices are reasonable. The whole story is humorous and funny. There are some difficult characters, but they aren't particularly troublesome, and the protagonist doesn't suffer any losses. The female lead is very intelligent. The only drawback is the excessive use of modern language.
