On the very first day after transmigrating into a book, Su Xiuning was furious.
She had become the widowed mother-in-law from the story, a cannon-fodder character who was angered to death by her eldest son.
She had transmigrated straight into a body ten years older. She was the mother of six children and even a grandmother.
And in the original story, every last member of this whole family met a tragic end.
Looking at the cannon-fodder children before her, she had only one thought.
Defy fate! Starting today, she would lead these poor souls, destined for a gruesome death, to fight their way to survival!
First, split up the household! Then make money! Take on the troublemakers! Go head-to-head with the heroine! She didn't care about the plot or fate. Anyone who dared touch her children would have the sky over Haitang Village coming down on them!
From being looked down on by the whole village to getting her entire family to learn to read, Su Xiuning dragged them all back from the jaws of death.
She raised the children with modern ideas: filial piety should go both ways, not be demanded by one side alone.
She taught them to read, then had them make braised delicacies, sell vegetables, and open a restaurant. They started in Wugui Town, expanded to Fengling County, and eventually became the richest family in the country.
The original heroine, Jiang Lianhua, was reborn and discovered that her second aunt had changed.
Her second aunt's family had split up their household early.
Her second aunt's family had started doing business.
Her second aunt's family knew a drought was coming, so they had stocked up on grain and dug wells in advance.
None of this was something her second aunt could have done.
She pounded on Su Xiuning's front door and insisted, "Second Aunt, you were reborn too, weren't you?"
