[Farming] [Food] [Everyday Life] [Comedy] [Growth and Comeback]
Her husband was a constable, but he died in the line of duty, leaving her with three "fine sons."
She thought she could rely on her sons and make a life together, but then she discovered that:
The eldest was a "high-minded" scholar who couldn't lift a finger, and did nothing but spout classical phrases.
The second was a "clever" hoodlum, full of ambition but short on ability, always hoping to get rich while lying around.
The third was a trend-following glutton, greedy and lazy, a professional slacker for a hundred years.
Between the three of them, they couldn't scrape together a single act of filial piety. All they wanted was to treat their mother like a free servant.
Her grief over losing her husband had barely eased, and now her unfilial sons had broken her heart. Looking at the empty rice jar, Li Xiujuan slapped her thigh. She couldn't go on living like this!
Mountains crumble when you rely on them, people run when you rely on them, and as for relying on sons? Better to rely on yourself!
She rolled up her sleeves and drew on bits of knowledge she'd picked up in her previous life. Starting with the pig offal nobody wanted, she set up a little stall and vowed to make something of herself.
With a terrible hand from the start, watch her:
Use food with one hand and marketing with the other to turn a little braised-food stall into a chain of major workshops!
And, along the way, turn her three "poor saps" from "unfilial sons" into "devoted pups"!
Watch this widowed mother turn the tables against all odds, take her three "burdens" in tow, and build a thriving life that sends delicious aromas for miles!
