Su Qing opens her eyes and finds herself in 1976, a “husband-killer” girl whose engagement has just been broken off!
Her aunt takes the fifty yuan bride price and forces her to marry a cripple so she can use the money to find a wife for her own son. The whole village is waiting to laugh at her.
Su Qing scoffs. “You want to sell me? Then you’ll have to get past my family’s secret braising-spice recipe!”
In her previous life, she was a restaurant mogul. Is she really going to let hunger get the better of her in this one?
She gathers wild greens to trade for ration coupons and sells braised food on the black market. Before long, she’s rolling in money, buying fine flour and building a tiled-roof house. Her thriving life leaves the whole village stunned!
But Lu Tingzhou, the sent-down educated youth who’s always helping her, is looking at her more and more warmly. “Su Qing, I’ve got a strong constitution, so I’m not afraid of your bad luck. How about we join forces and make a life together? I’ll repair farm machinery, you can make braised food. We’ll never go hungry!”
Later, when someone asks her how she got rich, Su Qing laughs in Lu Tingzhou’s arms. “I picked up a bargain husband and made a fortune selling braised food on the side!”
Those awful people who once bullied her? She’s already trampled them underfoot!
