Making Ends Meet in Ancient Times: A Farmer's Eldest Daughter-in-Law Is No Easy Role

She opened her eyes and immediately burst into tears. Xu Fei suddenly transmigrated, only to find herself in a nightmare from the start: her father had died young, her mother was ill, her younger brother was still a child, and she was weak and helpless. Don’t ask me how I’m supposed to survive. To be more specific, I’ll survive by shamelessly clinging to life! Thirteen-year-old Xu Fei and her six-year-old brother entered hard-mode survival in ancient times. Thankfully, she wasn’t the only one suffering. There was also Song Beishan, a fifteen-year-old boy from the village. He was an odd match for her in misfortune, but he had it worse: he was responsible for two younger brothers and a younger sister. After Song Beishan came to her rescue again and again, Xu Fei spent a whole night thinking it over at home. Finally, she gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and took her brother to latch onto a reliable source of food. “Brother Beishan, do you want a brother-in-law? Just say the word and I’ll bring him right over!” Song Beishan had no idea why he kept reaching out to help her and even going out of his way to support her. It wasn’t until she became his wife that he finally understood. He had realized early on that she was good at managing a household! Just look at how well-behaved all those little rascals at home were. He was among the well-behaved ones too, but that was only right! Men work outside, women run the home, right? It was a rule passed down by their ancestors. Even after Song Beishan became a great general, he still stubbornly insisted on having the final say. As he washed his wife’s feet, he emphasized his place in the household. “The rule in our house is that I make the decisions on big matters, and you decide the little things. But as things stand, we don’t have any big matters.” Xu Fei nodded, grinning. “My husband is absolutely right!”
