From the start, she’s forced to marry a disabled veteran, then tossed into a leaky, run-down courtyard. The whole village is just waiting for her to starve to death in three days? No problem! Su Qinghe has an ancient greenwood ring, and awakens both a spirit spring and the ability to sense all beasts! While everyone else farms through backbreaking labor, she puts up a help-wanted sign: wild boars plow the fields, black bears haul bricks, snow leopards work security, and parrots handle customer service. A whole new era of beast labor begins! The villagers munch on sunflower seeds, waiting to laugh as the ferocious beasts eat her alive. But when payday comes, everyone is stunned: the wild boar foreman has a work badge in its mouth and is grunting furiously in the corner after getting half its rations docked for cutting in line; a macaque, eager to hit its performance targets, digs up and solemnly turns over every incriminating ledger its despicable relatives had hidden under the bed; and the sharp-tongued parrot stands on the roof every day, shouting, “Meaningless overtime? Absolutely not!” What about jealous troublemakers and rivals who resort to poisoning? Su Qinghe’s abacus clicks like thunder: “Trample one acre of my seedlings, and you’ll pay for ten! Poison my crops, and you’ll lose everything and go to prison! Want to settle privately? An apology doesn’t cover the bill!” And what of her supposedly cold and ruthless disabled husband? By day, he uses a cane and one hand to fling a bully ten yards away. By night, he leans against the doorframe and pretends his leg hurts as a wild boar approaches, fishing for attention: “Wife, that pig is standing too close to you. My leg hurts…” Su Qinghe presses a hand to her forehead. “…You’re overdoing it, General Huo!” Later, when heavy snow cuts off supplies at the border and the court is helpless, everyone believes all is lost. Then a mighty convoy pulled by beasts plows through wind and snow, crashing through the camp gates! Su Qinghe stands at the front, unfurls a long bill, and smiles kindly. “Make way, Boss Su is making a delivery. Everyone, how many cities are you planning to pay for this lifesaving service?”
