Transmigrated as a Starving Ghost? I Stockpile Food With My Child and Strike It Rich

After dying suddenly, she wakes up as a widow in an ancient famine, with three young children to care for. The moment she opens her eyes, she catches her wicked mother-in-law trying to sell her daughter to a trafficker. At the crucial moment, the “Child-Rearing Sign-In System” activates.

Five pounds of cornmeal saves her daughter, and three padded coats keep them warm through winter. She grabs a carrying pole and stands up to her awful in-laws, beats her wicked mother-in-law in three rounds, then promptly separates from the family and moves into a shabby hut.

The System keeps providing rewards. She earns high-yield rice seeds by reclaiming wasteland and ten taels of silver by teaching her children to read. She takes them through spring planting and autumn harvest, filling their granary from nearly empty to overflowing. The little courtyard is filled with the aroma of white rice and stewed meat at every meal. She sends her son to school and teaches her daughter embroidery. The widow everyone once bullied becomes the village’s envy, a prosperous landowner.

When the Zhao family next door shows up to make a scene out of jealousy, she produces a severance document and sends them packing. When her former in-laws try to mooch off her, she guards her home with a stick and refuses to give an inch.

As smoke curls from the roof of her newly built tiled house and her three children laugh around the dinner table, Lu Wan looks at the granary full of grain and finally understands: after transmigrating, raising her children well and earning enough food are the ingredients for the best life.
