The Blind Uncle I Saved Became a Marquis and Chancellor

[Natural Disasters and Flight from Famine + Building a Life from Scratch + Mutual Healing + Carpentry Skills + Ensemble Survival]

Reborn as a wicked sister-in-law on the road to flee famine, she finds only half a sack of bran left on the handcart. She is about to sell her late husband's blind little brother to a refugee camp in exchange for two bowls of wheat.

The trafficker has already set up his iron pot when Ye Tan snatches away the rope and tears up the contract. “The Shen family doesn't need to sell a child to preserve its honor!”

On the muddy wilderness road, the whole family is starving. Blind Shen Tingsi clings to the splintered wood of the cart, trembling in shame. “Sister-in-law, leave me by the roadside. I can't see, and I'll only hold the family back...”

Ye Tan wipes the rain from her face and grips her measuring tape and carving knife.

She weaves grass sandals, sets traps, builds an easy-to-push double-shaft cart, and finds a hidden spring!

Across a thousand miles of wilderness, bones lie exposed in the open, yet Ye Tan leads her family to a hot meal of wild rabbit and simmered greens.

The clansfolk kneel and beg for a share, while the bullies flee in terror at the sound of her name.

Years later, after the new dynasty is founded, the blind boy who once huddled trembling in the corner of the cart appears again in a crimson flying-fish uniform. Before the assembled court officials, he kneels respectfully and presents her with a phoenix crown. “My sister-in-law is as vast as the heavens. For the rest of my life, I wish only to serve you.”
