Xu Enji, a rich young lady from modern times, woke up one day to find herself in a poor mountain village in the 1980s.
Her own brother and sister-in-law had traded her for a bride price and sold her to the Chen family as a wife. The family was drowning in debt, her mother-in-law suffered from a chronic leg condition, her sisters-in-law were sharp-tongued, and the whole family was so poor they couldn't afford a single full meal.
The original owner was meek and easy to bully?
Xu Enji flipped the table.
Anyone who bullied her would get it back twice as hard. If there wasn't enough money to live on, she'd earn it herself!
A bowl of vegetarian noodles with ground vegetables and meat became a sensation across the county. Spicy rice noodles, secret-recipe braised pork, and all kinds of mouthwatering home-style dishes drew crowds, with long lines forming at her stall every day.
Impatient with how slowly the money came in? She put her fashion design skills to work, modernizing styles and making new clothes. Her business grew from the village market to the county department store, and orders poured in faster than she could handle.
She paid off debts, built a house, and opened a restaurant. The Chen family, once the poorest in the village, became the envy of everyone as a household worth ten thousand yuan.
The villagers who had once sneered at her came to curry favor. Her sharp-tongued sisters-in-law rushed to help, and her mother-in-law loved her like a daughter.
Then there's her husband, Chen Yi, who looks cold and taciturn but is actually the ultimate doting husband.
He hands over every penny he earns, races to do all the dirty work, and treats every word his wife says like a royal decree. No one is allowed to say a single bad thing about her.
Everyone: "Who said the Chen family's daughter-in-law was a burden? She's clearly a goddess of fortune sent from Heaven!"
