A devastating drought wiped out villages, wells ran dry, and famine swept through Qingniu Village like wildfire.
The entire village was waiting to die. Relatives fought over water, the village head lined his pockets, and grain merchants bled people dry. In this desperate hour, everyone fought tooth and nail for food that might keep them alive.
Only the Su family had six-year-old Su Mai, who carried the farming secrets passed down by her grandfather. She saw the drought coming at a glance, stockpiled water overnight, found a living underground spring, and dug an irrigation channel to save the village, turning parched wasteland into fertile fields bursting with grain!
Her nasty aunt-by-marriage comes to steal water? She gives her a hard shove and not a single drop!
Her paternal grandmother leans on her age to demand grain? She gets respect, but no means of survival!
A crooked grain merchant drives down prices and monopolizes the market? She goes straight to the county seat and sells the bountiful harvest at a high price!
The village head abuses his power to seize the channel? She mentions the Liu family and county yamen, leaving him utterly humiliated!
A villain spreads rumors that the fertilizer is poisonous? Shopkeepers across the city join in to set the record straight, and the rumor is smashed to pieces!
No System, no pocket dimension, no golden finger. She relies on nothing but genuine farming skills:
Finding water veins, digging channels, making mature compost, reclaiming wasteland, making sweet potato noodles, and opening up sales routes across the county!
Her family fiercely stands up for their own, the villagers follow her devotedly, and the Liu family's young lady lends her heartfelt support.
From a single lifesaving well to a village with food security; from an oppressed tenant farmer to a model farmer honored by the prefectural government!
That year, the famine was no famine. At just six years old, she brought a bumper harvest to the whole village!
Farming, protecting her own, putting scoundrels in their place, and a gentle, steady romance: a peaceful life sweeter than honey!
