In 1980, We Split the Family, and I Strike It Rich in the Mountains with My Twins!

[Reborn] [Feel-Good Period Drama] [Face-Slapping and Putting Scoundrels in Their Place] [Prospecting for Gold in the Deep Mountains]

In her previous life, Jiang Nian’s wicked mother-in-law stole the life-saving food meant for her twins and forced her to hand over her discharged husband’s compensation money so his younger brother could marry. The two little ones starved to death in a blizzard, and Jiang Nian died in despair.

When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Nian was back in 1983, on the day she was forced to hand over her wages! With a cold laugh, she swung a shoulder pole and smashed the cooking stove. “You want my hard-earned money? Dream on!” She split from the family that very day. She didn’t care if she had to leave with nothing!

The whole village laughed at her, sure she wouldn’t last three days after moving with her two scrawny children and lame husband to Black Bear Ravine, where wolves roamed. But no one knew that, in her second life, Jiang Nian had the next ten years of medicinal herb and mountain produce prices, along with every policy shift of the reform era, stored in her head! She knew where to find century-old wild ginseng, which paths sable took, and what goods fetched the best prices on the black market!

While other families counted corn kernels to get through the winter, hers ate stewed goose and game every day, and her two little ones grew plump and rosy-cheeked. Her wicked mother-in-law came to start trouble? Her sister-in-law tried to steal her ginseng? A crooked merchant set a trap for her? Jiang Nian countered every move and turned the tables at every step!

But she gradually discovered that her husband’s lame leg concealed a massacre from years ago… When her disabled husband transformed into the provincial capital’s youngest industrial magnate and knelt on one knee with a fortune at his command, what would those awful relatives, once reduced to kneeling in the snow and begging, do then?
