【Transmigrate into a book + adorable baby's mind-reading + farming to get rich + face-slapping the worst of the worst + doted on by the regent】
“Mother, let go! Auntie is going to put poison in the egg-drop soup and swindle us out of all our emergency savings!”
Shen Sangning, who had just transmigrated into a book as a cannon-fodder peasant woman, shuddered and looked down at the little bundle in her arms. She could hear her daughter's thoughts!
【Poor Mother! She worked to put Uncle through the scholar exams, only for Second Brother to be sold, Eldest Brother to break his leg, and the whole family to die so Cousin, the female lead, could shine!】
Modern-day agricultural whiz Shen Sangning overturned the poisoned soup on the spot, grabbed a rolling pin, beat the wicked relatives, and promptly split from the family and cut ties!
Their thatched cottage leaks and they're out of food? Her little lucky-star daughter frantically points the way in her thoughts:
【There's a century-old wild ginseng in that hollow tree!】
【There's a hidden treasury from the previous dynasty buried beneath that crooked tree!】
By listening in on her daughter's thoughts, Shen Sangning avoids every disaster, clears land, makes medicine, and builds a trading company, rising all the way to become the richest merchant in the empire.
The nasty old household loses all its good fortune and falls to its knees, begging for a bowl of leftovers.
Shen Sangning sneers. “Sorry, I won't even let a two-faced ingrate lick my dog's food bowl.”
Her husband, the regent who holds power over the court, pulls her into his arms. “Would wiping out nine generations of anyone who upsets my wife be enough?”
Her four sons roll up their sleeves. “Take a break, Father. We'll handle it!”
The baby in the swaddling clothes silently rolls their eyes. 【Oh, please. In the end, I'm still the toughest one here~】
