Chen Yuan, a graduate of the Modern Agricultural College, accidentally traveled to the fictional Daxing Village of the 1980s and became a vicious mother-in-law. She knew that the famine was coming, so she used her agricultural knowledge and system to change Xu's family's bad habits. She led her family to sell turkey noodles and stationery to make money, and also cultivated hybrid rice. During this period, she dealt with troubles such as her gambling brother, her mean mother, and jealous villagers, rescued her abused niece, and shared rice seeds to help the villagers overcome famine. In the end, hybrid rice was successful, and she set up a factory to lead the village to prosperity. Her second son was admitted to a key high school, and she was invited to enter the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
