[Transmigration between ancient and modern times + farming + reborn + satisfying revenge + family life + no romance]
Zhao Guixiang is a dreadful, biased old woman. It's not that she favors boys over girls; she only favors her youngest son.
She sells everything, including her granddaughter, and sells her only daughter to a widower. Her grandsons die one after another, and her other sons live in misery, but she still devotes herself to raising her youngest son, Lin Hai.
She thinks her suffering will finally be over, but Lin Hai brings her to town only to gain a reputation for filial piety and seek office. He breaks both her legs and throws her into a cellar, where she lives for ten years.
In the end, just as Lin Hai rises to a high position, he decides she's a burden and leaves her to freeze to death in the cellar.
When Zhao Guixiang opens her eyes, she has not only been reborn, but can also travel through a wooden token to a mysterious place.
The things there dazzle her eyes. Most of them are unfamiliar, and the food smells wonderful. She hasn't tried much of it, either.
Most importantly, the people there love mushrooms, especially the ones rotting in the mountains that no one dares eat back home. The people there actually fight over them!
Chicken-head mushrooms, wild vegetables... They're all favorites!
Zhao Guixiang, who hates going up the mountain, can't help looking at the hills behind her home with eager eyes.
This isn't a mountain. It's a gold mine!
Zhao Guixiang rolls up her sleeves, heads into the deep mountains, gathers mushrooms and chicken-head mushrooms, and resells goods. Not only does she help her children and grandchildren survive the famine, but everyone in Xinghua Village benefits too, until it becomes the richest village in the Great Zhou.
Her ungrateful son kneels and begs for mercy?
She kicks the wicked son and punches his wife. Beg for forgiveness? Dream on!
She travels between two worlds and lives a thriving life, while the children and grandchildren she mistreated in her previous life are all dutiful now.
This time, she finally made the right choice!
