A Transmigrated Couple's Farming Life

Newlyweds Lu Pingsheng and Yao Shuang are in a car accident. When they wake up, they've transmigrated into the bodies of a poor farming couple.

One is Yao Sanchun, a shrew from the countryside with a terrible reputation. She's not only ugly, but also disrespectful to her parents and always picking fights. The other is Song Pingsheng, a lazy good-for-nothing from the village, hated by everyone and even looked down on by his parents and siblings.

Just a few days after they arrive, Song Pingsheng's parents decide to split up the family, bundling the penniless couple and a pile of broken pots and bowls out of the house.

Yao Sanchun and Song Pingsheng: All I want is to hug my frail, pitiful, helpless husband/wife.

Fortunately, the couple aren't afraid of hard work, and they have plenty of good ideas for making money. They work their way up and eventually build a happy life together!

A little scene:

Song Pingsheng puts an arm around Yao Sanchun's shoulders, points at the manor before them, and declares, "Wife, see that? That's the kingdom you won for me! I'm very pleased!"

Yao Sanchun: "..."

1. This story takes place in a fictional setting, a very fictional one. Please don't nitpick the details.

Upcoming: "Crazy Farming Days in Ancient Times"

Ding Liu transmigrates.

The good news: She's alive, still human, and her name is Ding Liu'er.

The bad news: Her entire family is a bunch of rotten people, a perfect collection of human garbage.

Her father, Ding Gui, has land but won't farm it. He spends all day lazing around, swindling and cheating people, and acting like a shameless hoodlum.

Her mother, Madam Tian, is mean, lazy, greedy, slippery, pushy, domineering, and a notorious menace to all the women in the village.

Her eldest brother gets into a small fight every three days and a big one every five. Wherever he goes, chaos follows. He's the biggest hoodlum in Dawan Village.

Her eldest sister is full of schemes and has a thoroughly crooked worldview. She faked an accident to marry a young scholar from the next village, but privately says that if he fails the exams, she'll find someone else. The next one will be better.

Her second brother has a sweet face but a cruel heart. He's always pretending to be pitiful to get free food and drinks, then calling people stupid. He plans to find a rich young lady to support him.

Ding Liu, dropped into this nest of scumbags: Fools are the bane of experts, and the crazy are the cure for the worst of the worst.

Good thing I've always been in excellent mental health. That's what the psychiatrist told me.

And so the Ding family's days of suffering begin.

Ding Gui orders Ding Liu to wash his feet like he's some grand lord. She dumps a basin of hot water over his head, nearly scalding his pigskin right off.

Madam Tian tries to marry her off to her own nephew. Ding Liu chases her with a knife from sunrise to sunset.

Her eldest brother tries to secretly sell Gu Ting to pay off his debts. Gu Ting turns around and sells him to a slave trader for a high price, and he nearly gets castrated.

Her eldest sister...

The family of rotten dogs is such a handful that Gu Ting finally loses patience, sets fire to their shabby thatched hut, and burns all their food and belongings to ashes.

Ding Liu: If I'm not going to have an easy time, none of you are either!

The Ding family, covered in soot, cries out in unison: Please, Great-Aunt!

Later, with their whole family oppressed by a madwoman who doesn't care if she dies, they have no choice but to endure it and work like oxen. If she tells them to chop wood, they can't even boil water. If she tells them to farm, they have to do the work. They're worse off than hired hands on a landlord's estate.

Slowly, the villagers start asking:

Why isn't the Ding family causing trouble today?

Why are the Ding family working in the fields today?

Why is the Ding family eating meat now?

When did the Ding family open a shop in town?

When did the Ding family get on such good terms with the county magistrate?

How did the Ding family...

The Ding family, now several sizes bigger: Do you know how hard we work just to keep our Liu'er from going crazy at any moment?!

Reader's guide: 1. A fictional setting, a very fictional one. Just have fun, don't take it seriously.
