(No cheats, transmigration, cozy everyday life, building a fortune, no court politics or powerful nobles, cutting family ties and face-slapping)
Jiang Wangshu’s husband ran off with someone else. At least Heaven was fair: the adulterous pair ended up capsizing and drowning.
But her heartless in-laws accused her of bringing bad luck to her husband and tried to seize her dowry, threatening to divorce her if she refused.
Jiang Wangshu, who had transmigrated into this world, rolled her eyes. Bringing bad luck to her husband? More like he brought bad luck to me! Whoever wants to stay in this miserable place can stay.
She beat her in-laws to the punch, kicked them out of her life, and set up a home of her own with her three children.
The whole family worked together, going from not having enough to eat to enjoying meat at every meal, and from four bare walls to a spacious courtyard house with brick walls and tiled roofs.
The family of four gathered mugwort in spring, harvested fruits and vegetables in summer, gleaned rice ears in autumn, and stockpiled firewood in winter. They had a wonderful life.
Later, her former in-laws begged her to take them back. Someone stopped them and said, “Wangshu, you have me to protect you now.”
(There is a male lead, but not much romance. The story is mostly about raising the kids day to day~)
