Reborn as a Wicked Old Woman in a Famine, I Use Mysticism to Lift Up the Whole Family

[Farming + family life + short supernatural tales + building wealth] Li Cuilan, the modern-day abbess of Clear Water Temple, transmigrates into the body of a nasty old woman in an ancient dynasty stricken by famine. To make matters worse, she's just been fished out of a cesspit. Everyone says this is her just deserts, but Li Cuilan only smiles. “Sorry, the King of Hell said he hooked the wrong soul. As compensation, he gave me a whole set of Taoist skills. If you need anything done, feel free to hire me.” Everyone gasps in envy. “Wow, talk about turning a disaster into a blessing!” Li Cuilan puts her hands on her hips and raises an eyebrow. She skipped the pain of childbirth and got three grown sons for free. That's a blessing in its own way! Her honest eldest son, Wu Daniu, smiles at her. “Mother, you've had a hard time.” Her drinking-and-gambling second son, Wu Erniu, comes running back excitedly. “Mother, come quick! I've landed another big job for you!” Her high-minded third son, Wu Yong, pretends to cough twice. “Mother, don't worry. I'll make sure the accounts are all in order.” Li Cuilan crosses her legs, sips her tea, glances at the three of them, and smiles. She exorcises ghosts, dispels curses, and earns silver, then farms and stores grain to get by. Life couldn't be sweeter!
