The Wildest Village Chief: From the Start, the Whole Village Can’t Even Scrape Together a Hundred

Su Nian is Taoxi Village’s youngest “laughingstock” village chief. After graduating from nursing school, she refuses to become a nurse and insists on staying in a desperately poor mountain valley to grow mushrooms. The crop gets moldy, the county chief loses patience, her authority goes up in smoke, and the whole village curses her.

Then she binds to the “Rural Revitalization Assistance System,” which connects her to a hydrogeological database! No plans for an irrigation canal? The System provides the perfect route and gradient to prevent seepage. Green mold contaminates the mushrooms? The System pinpoints the exact twelve-hour sterilization temperature range. She leads the village’s most overlooked women, widows, stay-at-home mothers, and a girl with incredible strength, and carves a vein of gold right out of the mountains. When stacks of ten-yuan notes come crashing down at the village entrance, the men who mocked them fall to their knees.

From a mountain spring to premium golden-line mushrooms, from a poor and barren backwater to the nation’s top model village! Riding the surging tide of the 1990s, Su Nian sneers, “I’m not stepping down as village chief. I’m going to make Taoxi Village filthy rich!”
