[Borderland Shopkeeping + Fake and Real Marquis + Father and Son Reborn + Merit-Rebate Space + Clearing Land and Farming + Raising Kids + Building a Fortune]
The sky was falling. She had just transmigrated into a book and become a stepmother?
Not only had the kids' father caught her in the act of selling the children, but the child trafficker had faked his death to frame her!
Jiang Shuyi felt like a living corpse and made it clear she did not want to take the blame for this.
To clear her name, she decided to win over her whole family, heart and stomach, with her modern cooking skills.
Snow-skin yam cakes, fruit glutinous rice balls, cake, cream puffs, pudding, milk tea, fruit drinks, soda... She turned out one treat after another.
Not only did the kids grow closer to her, even her younger brothers-in-law, who had been a hundred kinds of displeased with her, began fawning over her and eagerly currying favor.
Looking at her steadily growing purse, Jiang Shuyi stood taller and straightened her back, thinking it was about time to get a divorce.
"Kids' father, thank you for putting up with me all this time. Here's five hundred taels. Let's call it even."
"You think you can sleep with me and then leave? It's not that easy."
-
A pastry shop opened at the border, turning out an endless stream of new treats.
Not only did customers line up every day, but it also helped civilians and soldiers alike eat their fill during the famine.
"Madam Jiang, your pastry shop has branches springing up everywhere. Why the long face?"
Jiang Shuyi curled up in a soft chair in the 'Ge You slouch' pose and said, looking utterly lifeless:
"Don't ask. Someone's been setting me up."
She had only just found out that both the father and son of the Qing family had been reborn!
No wonder the plot kept going off the rails. So those two had been treating her like a fool?
Even more devastating, she had gone from stepmother to biological mother, and the woman who spent a night in bed with the male lead in the original novel was none other than her...
