1. 1 重 Back to the 1960s: Farming, Building a Fortune, and Raising the Kids 重回六零：种田发家养崽崽 Southern Lychee南方荔枝Modern Romance1.4M WordsCompleted Transmigrating into the impoverished 1960s wasn’t scary. Becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a book wasn’t scary either. What was scary was that her three stepsons would grow up to become major villains, and all of them, along with their upright, aloof father, would meet tragic ends. How could she let that happen? Lin Qinghe looked at the three future villains, none of whom was even ten years old, and made up her mind: changing a villain starts when they’re young! 3.8kReads9.0Score504Shelves

   [🔥The pinnacle of transmigration + farming novels! A sickly eldest sister rises to become a billionaire through mushroom picking, while a rough hunter dotes on his wife 💘] Sisters! I've found an incredibly addictive farming novel!! "The Eldest Sister of the Farming Family" begins with a beautiful, strong, and tragic heroine transmigrating into the body of a sickly woman, penniless and burdened with three younger siblings 🍂 But! She makes a fortune through her mushroom-picking skills! From digging up termite mushrooms in the mountains and having them bought at high prices by restaurants, to improving the soil and growing off-season vegetables 🌱 The heroine truly masters farming! Watching her outsmart unscrupulous merchants at the market and conquer the magistrate's wife with a mushroom feast is incredibly satisfying!! The romance is also so sweet it'll make you want to stomp your feet! 🐺The rough-looking hunter next door, seemingly cold and aloof, tells her "Don't go up the mountain, it's dangerous," but then secretly helps her chase away wild boars and repair her roof. He carries the baskets for the heroine's mushroom sales, and brews medicine for her coughs. His straightforward confession, "I'll marry you when I've earned enough money," is so unexpected! The whole story is a heartwarming farming romance with a strong, career-driven heroine. Watch as patches turn into brocade, thatched huts into brick houses, and she goes from eating wild vegetables to opening a chain of mushroom shops. 🏡I stayed up all night to finish it and was so happy I rolled around on the floor!
