The 1980s Stepmom Gets Busy Farming

Lin Xiaoxiao died.

She dropped dead at her 996 work station, then woke up in the 1980s as a rural stepmother, married to a man with a bad leg and saddled with three children.

The eldest girl, twelve, looks at her like she’s an enemy. Erdan, eight, is greedy and mischievous. Sanya, four, is so thin she looks like a kitten, and timidly calls her “Mom.”

Her mother-in-law calls her a jinx, the villagers are waiting for a laugh, and village bully Liu Qiang is always picking on her.

She looks down at her hands. They have chilblains, but they still work.

Fine, then.

She raises chickens, farms the land, and starts a cooperative, using modern thinking to outclass the 1980s. Before the villagers even understand what “marketing” means, she’s already sold every last egg.

Just as life starts getting better, though, her husband with the bad leg begins acting stranger and stranger

His hunting skills are nothing like a farmer’s. There are secrets in the way he looks at her, and then a military jeep suddenly shows up in the middle of the night...

That’s when Lin Xiaoxiao realizes the “cripple” she married is no ordinary man.

And the three children have already gone from calling her “stepmother” to calling her “Mom.”

Love isn’t given by blood. It’s built through the life you share.
