Fleeing Famine and Farming: The Eldest Daughter of the Farmhouse Keeps the Family Fed 逃荒种田，农门长姐养家忙
This story has no space, is not a feel-good power fantasy, and its famine-flight scenes are adapted from historical accounts of ordinary people fleeing famine in different periods. The heroine is only eight years old, so escaping with her whole family in tow is very hard, incredibly hard. If you’re looking for a feel-good power fantasy, please move on. Don’t read to the end, decide the main characters have suffered too much, feel bad, and then leave a negative review. Writing is hard, so please
