In the apocalypse, Xu Shuangnian went berserk killing zombies for something to eat. Just as she was about to get her hands on those two potatoes, she transmigrated to an ancient refugee trail.
Her entire family was being driven out of their clan's traveling party.
Her biological grandmother, Madam Xu, tossed a bag of sweet potatoes at her feet and said with disgust, "Take these and get out."
Xu Shuangnian froze. In the apocalypse, sweet potatoes were as precious as potatoes. This bag weighed nearly ten pounds.
Unable to believe it, she asked in a trembling voice, "These... these sweet potatoes are all mine?!"
A woman beside her pleaded miserably, "Mother, there are four of us in the family. How are we supposed to survive if you drive us out now?"
Xu Shuangnian held up a finger and smoothly changed her tune. "That's right, there are four of us. The price should be doubled!"
Tears hung on Zhou-shi's gaunt face, her lips trembling. That wasn't what she meant!
-
The moment her mother-in-law drove her and her three children out onto the refugee trail after her husband died, Zhou-shi felt that the sky falling down could be no worse.
Her eldest daughter hefted the food and strode toward the mountains. After a moment's hesitation, Zhou-shi followed with the two younger children on her back.
So be it. The mountains would make a fine burial place, too.
Zhou-shi kept waiting to die. But as she waited, her daughter took them elsewhere, registered them as residents, bought land, built a house, and opened a shop... Banknotes poured into the family as if blown in by a gale.
Zhou-shi blinked at all those banknotes and finally realized that her eldest daughter was blessed with astonishing good fortune!!!
-Reading tips~
-A female-led story. The heroine is the strongest, no explanation needed.
-There will be a male lead, but the romance is a small part of the story. The focus is on the heroine's career.
-The setting is entirely fictional. The plot serves the heroine, and the details may not stand up to scrutiny. Just enjoy it, folks~
Recommending my friend's upcoming novel: The Lovely Cook at the Frontier, by Di Mianmian
Add it to your collection if you're interested. The author updates very diligently~
[Beautiful Cook vs. Rugged General]
Tian Gu's life has been hard. On the day she married, before she could lift her veil, news came that her husband had died.
She spent three years in mourning, caring for her parents-in-law, then went to the frontier.
Lucky for her, she found a cook's job in the frontier army camp. The pay was good and the work was free and easy, so Tian Gu readily agreed.
-
Conditions at the frontier army camp were harsh and the environment poor, but that wasn't the worst part.
The worst part was the food, which was practically impossible to swallow. The vegetables were old, the meat was tough, and the vats of pitch-black mess were so awful that even pigs wouldn't eat them!
That is, until Tian Gu arrived...
Hot and sour noodles, noodles with minced meat sauce, red-braised pork, egg pancakes, and even eight-treasure glutinous rice and iced pumpkin milk for dessert. The soldiers ate and cried as if it were their last meal.
They also grew more energetic and stronger than ever!
One day, they went to battle.
The enemy troops were dumbfounded. Why was the opposing army suddenly so aggressive?!
They sent a soldier to investigate, but when he came back, he was just as dumbfounded.
"They said... they said they want to finish up early so they can go back and eat the little cook's freshly made fried chicken...?"
The enemy general: ?
--
A little cook joined the army camp. She was a widow with a child, but she was also fair-skinned, beautiful, and sweet-voiced.
A bunch of rough men who usually couldn't go a minute without making crude jokes couldn't take their eyes off her.
They started walking quietly and stopped telling dirty jokes. They even stopped smacking their lips while eating.
Everyone, that is, except the Great General Gu Xiancheng, who remained as rough and unconcerned as ever.
A soldier sighed. "No wonder the general is still single at twenty-five. It's absolutely tragic."
But one day, a sharp-eyed soldier spotted the Great General sneaking into the little cook's tent.
Then, one day, the little cook's belly began to swell...
The soldiers: ???
Theme: Make sure you do everything you can to save yourself from a desperate situation!
