[Reborn + Period Setting + Joining the Army + Reclaiming the Gobi + Cooking and Raising Kids + Fiercely Protecting Her Daughter-in-Law]
In her previous life, Su Yumei gave all the compensation money her husband had earned with his life to her ungrateful married daughter, hoping she would have someone to rely on in her old age.
Instead, her daughter and son-in-law bled her dry, and she froze to death in an abandoned cowshed. The one who came to collect her body was the city-bred daughter-in-law she had constantly looked down on for her poor background.
Reborn into a new life, Su Yumei faces her daughter once again, demanding money for her “burial fund.” She grabs a rolling pin and beats the ungrateful girl until she’s crying for her parents!
This time, she takes everything she owns and resolutely heads to the distant Gobi frontier to protect the people she should have cherished all along!
The Gobi is swept by sandstorms, supplies are scarce, and people are hard to read.
Everyone in the family compound is waiting to laugh at the “landlord’s daughter,” Shen Yuehua, whom her husband’s family despises, and her dowdy country mother-in-law, expecting them to starve to death on the frontier.
But they never imagined that Su Yumei wouldn’t be a burden. She’d be their rock!
When faced with sharp-tongued gossips, she plants her hands on her hips and gives them a piece of her mind, fiercely defending her daughter-in-law: “She’s part of the Gu family. Who do you think you are to bully her?”
When faced with a barren, dilapidated courtyard, her eyes light up as she starts clearing land and planting vegetables. “This is prime land! Just you wait, Mom will turn the Gobi into a vegetable garden!”
She raises chickens and ducks, plants melons and beans, and with her skillful hands, not only gets her pregnant daughter-in-law healthy and plump, but also wins over the entire family compound with her incredible cooking. Before long, everyone knows to respect this tough old bird.
Shen Yuehua, tears in her eyes: “Everyone says mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, but my mother-in-law is like a mountain, giving me a whole sky to shelter under. She cherishes me so much that everyone envies me!”

The Rocky Life of a Country Girl
I don't really like some of the old lady's remarks, such as "How can a man enter the kitchen?" "How can you do this kind of work?" (It may be different from the original text, but the meaning is the same). It's not impossible for the old lady to have such thoughts as a person of that era, but she is mentioned at the beginning of the book. I didn't know that my son was in such a difficult place, but later in the mine she said that she had dug mines here before, and that she used to be a militia captain. She bought rabbits before and said that she had raised rabbits all her life. Can the author give the old lady an identity so that the previous article does not match the second sentence [awkward laugh]
