Fleeing Famine: The Whole Village Died, but I Was Reborn

No CP + travels between ancient and modern times + famine flight later on

Li Qingcao died at the hands of an assassin hired by her adopted daughter. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to three days before finding the girl. Her hardworking, capable eldest son, her taciturn second son who had died protecting her, her youngest son and daughter, who were twins, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren were all still alive...

This time, Li Chuncao decided she wouldn’t raise an ungrateful wolf.

To avoid the tragedy of her previous life, Li Chuncao planned to stay home. But just after getting out of bed, she fell flat on her face and passed out.

When she woke up, she was in a place where lights shone everywhere.

Was this... the realm of the immortals?

The stuff thrown into a metal trash can by the roadside smelled even better than the white-flour steamed buns she ate at New Year.

When she dug it out, she found bread wrapped in wax paper, impossibly soft.

The metal houses were tall and huge, with four wheels, and they ran faster than horses.

People on the street had hair that was black, yellow, red, and all kinds of bright colors...

Li Chuncao tucked the bread into her clothes, trying to figure out how to take it back to her own world, when someone grabbed her by the back of her collar.

“Auntie, thirty an hour, and you get a meal. Interested?”

Li Chuncao hadn’t understood the first part, but she understood the last bit: a meal was included!

She immediately rolled up her sleeves, washed two huge basins of dishes, and even cleaned the kitchen while she was at it.

She got to eat her fill of white rice, and they even gave her a slip of paper called “money.”

Li Chuncao stared at the paper, then looked at the food in her hands.

She didn’t really understand how things worked here, but she was sure of one thing.

In the “immortal realm,” you got food for working, and you got “money” too.

As long as you were willing to work hard, you wouldn’t starve.

Dishwasher, cleaner, flyer distributor, construction worker...

Wait, a part-time job at a funeral home pays 800 a day?
