[Period setting + farming + System + no romance + everyday family life + cozy child-rearing + helping the whole village get rich]
Qi Mo, a sea-foraging blogger with tens of millions of followers, transmigrated to a small fishing village in the 1970s and became a notorious, spendthrift widow whom everyone loved to hate.
Her husband had died in a shipwreck, leaving her with a mountain of debt.
Her eldest son was eighteen and still unmarried, working himself to the bone to support the family.
Her second daughter had secretly dropped out of school and nearly drowned while diving for pearls.
Her youngest daughter was so hungry she even chewed on raw kelp.
Looking at her pitiful family, Qi Mo rolled up her sleeves. “Don't panic, Mom's going to help you soar!”
She bound herself to the [Daily Intelligence System], which refreshed with one new tip every day.
“Ding! Today's tip: After the tide goes out at Old Dragon Bay, a top-grade yellow croaker will swim into the shallows to escape the wind...”
“Ding! Today's tip: The place next door's Liu Er hid his secret stash is...”
The fishermen waited for a laugh: Could that shrew Qi catch a fish? A sow could climb a tree first!
But then
Her eldest son became the best captain on the whole island!
Her second daughter got into a top university!
Her youngest daughter ate braised pork at every meal and grew into a chubby little bundle of joy!
The fishermen were stunned. How had this spendthrift woman gotten more and more prosperous?
Qi Mo: Just the basics. Don't make a fuss.
The author must live by the sea (not to criticize the author for being nosy), because they know so much about the sea. It's incredibly fascinating for a child who has never been to the beach; it broadens their horizons considerably. The writing pace is quite smooth and compact; it doesn't drag out a single issue for dozens of chapters. It's a great read!
They caught up in one fell swoop, it was so satisfying! I love watching this kind of story where the village is fed, the scoundrels are driven away, and the business is steadily developing. The system's cheat codes only appeared at the beginning, and since I didn't understand the setting, they seemed to disappear. But overall, it was very enjoyable, so it didn't really matter.
Not bad. The plot device isn't too overpowered, and the character development is quite interesting. Many of the villagers seem rather cunning, haha. The female lead, however, is magnanimous and wise, willing to lead them to prosperity while keeping them from causing trouble. The emotional portrayal is also very delicate; I enjoyed the growth arc of the two girls. Finally, it's not one of those "transmigrated mother with five boys" stories—reading too many of those is utterly ridiculous.
It's very well-written, the battle of wits and courage is truly thrilling, and the bad guys will eventually get their comeuppance. It's a great watch, funny, touching, and heartbreaking. The readers' descriptions are also spot-on. I highly recommend it to everyone.
I feel like there's a hint of AI in it, but maybe I'm just imagining things.
It's really good! I discovered it last night and stayed up until 4 AM before finally falling asleep. I was laughing out loud while reading it late at night. The author's character descriptions are truly humorous and nuanced. The plot is tight and doesn't drag. The female lead has a very cool and feisty personality. 🥰 The only downside is that you can't enter the space to grow your own plants.
This book is so good! The content is amazing, the author is fantastic, I love it!
Excellent, the subject matter is novel, and the writing is fluent and vivid.
It's good, I like the female lead's personality, and there's no romantic pairing! So satisfying! Dear author, isn't Huang Dahai the female lead's son? Why is he calling her "sister-in-law" in this chapter? Am I remembering wrong? [What?] I think he did it in the previous chapter too, but in the previous chapter I couldn't tell if it was Afei or Dahai calling her that, and there was no subject. But after reading it, it felt like Huang Dahai was speaking. [What?]
It's a good watch, fast-paced, and with almost no unnecessary dialogue. The female lead has a straightforward personality.
