Fleeing Famine, I Picked Up a Madman: I Raise Him on the Money I Make Butchering Pigs!

After transmigrating into a book, Yu Qianqian becomes a notorious, foul-mouthed butcher in Kaoshan Village, a remote border village in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Her father is dead, her mother has run off, and she has two younger siblings who still need feeding. Facing scheming relatives and an impending barrage of disasters, Yu Qianqian weighs the gleaming butcher’s knife in her hand.

No need to panic. As long as there’s a hot meal to be had, even the Jade Emperor will have to pay a toll to pass!

On the eve of the village’s flight from famine, Yu Qianqian finds a bloodied man in the back hills, his hands and feet crippled and his face disfigured.

Everyone in the village calls him a cursed monster and keeps their distance. Yu Qianqian is the only one whose eyes light up. She swipes the priceless white-jade pendant from him and drags him back to the pigsty beside her house.

When the man wakes, his gaze is dark and violent, like a demon from hell. He coldly spits out one word: “Get out.”

Yu Qianqian smacks him on the forehead and points to the three fat pigs in the yard.

“Get out? I spent five taels of silver on medicine to save you. From today on, you’re marrying into the Yu family! If you eat my food, you’ll feed my pigs, keep the books, and look after the kids!”
