Widowed in a Famine Year, I Use the System to Raise Three Kids

Ye Jianjian, a modern rich beauty, wakes up in ancient times as a young widow. She lives with her two sons, daughter, and younger brother-in-law. Her eldest son is already married, and his wife is pregnant. With famine raging, they survive on wild vegetables and tree leaves.

The original owner was a wicked mother-in-law, a freeloader who leached off her family and showed no respect to her parents-in-law. She was especially at odds with her stepmother-in-law, and had a terrible reputation in the village. Her two younger brothers used her, hoping she could get in the good graces of a butcher. But the butcher’s wife found out and beat her half to death. That was when she became Ye Jianjian.

Just as Ye Jianjian was worrying about how to get by, she discovered she’d brought along a space-time System exchange bracelet. The mountains were full of treasures: medicinal herbs, food, timber, coal, and ironware. She could exchange them for medicine, food, and wooden goods, and even get change back.

Ye Jianjian resolved to turn over a new leaf, rebuild her reputation, and lead her whole family to prosperity.

She spoils the children, treats her daughter-in-law well, and finds both familial affection and love.
