Jiang Zhaoli, who had spent half her life as a biology lab rat, transmigrated. She wound up in a remote mountain village, and before she could even begin to mourn her fate, rainwater pouring through a hole in the roof splashed her in the face.
"..."
Jiang Zhaoli slowly wiped her face.
She looked around: a thatched hut, an earthen kang bed, nothing to eat but bran and vegetables... This scene practically called for a poem about a thatched cottage battered by autumn winds.
And that wasn't all. She now had a tiny younger brother-in-law who still needed feeding, as well as a much older younger brother-in-law who looked frail and delicate.
Jiang Zhaoli: ? Where's my husband?
Oh, he's dead.
Grief welled up in Jiang Zhaoli's heart. Was she doomed to spend both her lives in poverty?
At least she had a book-collection System now.
The house is falling apart? Study The Treatise on Architectural Methods and build a tower from the ground up.
The fields are barren? Learn Modern Practical Agricultural Techniques and soon the rice will promise a bountiful harvest.
Too weak to afford medicine? Read the Divine Farmer's Classic of Materia Medica, and she'll never have to worry about herbs again.
Jiang Zhaoli followed her plans, building up her life and growing wealthy one step at a time. She worked hard to support her younger brother-in-law and save up his betrothal gifts. But when the time came, she discovered the gifts had gone right back into her own pocket.
Her younger brother-in-law, Chu Yunzhi, tilted his head at her. "Sister-in-law, is this enough? I can give you more if it isn't."
Jiang Zhaoli: "...Where did you get all that hidden money?" She hadn't been hoarding a whole room full of gold and silver treasures.
Chu Yunzhi: ...Oh no, I gave her too much.
[Extra Scene 1]
The little dumpling's eyes lit up. "Sister-in-law, how do you know everything?"
Jiang Zhaoli smiled faintly, keeping her achievements to herself. "Never underestimate a biology lab rat's ability to learn." After all, the twenty-first century is the age of biology.
The little dumpling looked even more admiring. "Sister-in-law, how are you good at everything?"
Jiang Zhaoli lowered her eyes and pretended to light a cigarette. "Don't ask. The poorer you are, the harder you work." Before she could let out that signature sigh, the dry pipe was snatched from her hand.
Chu Yunzhi stared at her coldly. "What business does a young lady have smoking a dry pipe? Learn good things, not bad ones."
Jiang Zhaoli, embarrassed that her attempt to act cool had failed, said, "There's no tobacco in it... Don't break it, I'm going to sell it..."
[Extra Scene 2]
Chu Yunzhi lifted his eyelids slightly. "Sister-in-law, you're in the prime of your life. Have you considered marrying again?"
Jiang Zhaoli was baffled but spoke with righteous conviction. "No. I absolutely can't entertain that idea! Don't worry, I'll devote myself to looking after this family. I won't cuckold your brother!"
"..."
Jiang Zhaoli asked cautiously, "What is it? Did I say something wrong?"
Chu Yunzhi gritted his teeth. "No, you're exactly right."
1. Kind, resilient, clever, and a little scatterbrained heroine × a frail-looking, cool and distant male lead who is scheming underneath.
2. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. The heroine never had any relationship with her late husband.
3. The male lead is not related by blood to the heroine's late husband.
4. Please feel free to point out anything inappropriate.
Theme: Knowledge is power.
Every time I see this kind of time travel, I think that I have a family and am no longer alone. I also think that I am in need of love. What's the matter?
I saw the copywriting when I was passing by, so I came in and said, the idiom of eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables is to eat bran/pharyngeal vegetables, not to eat/ bran-pharyngeal vegetables ()
Isn't this heroine a bit of a virgin? . .
Look at it this way, this big brother is really pitiful
There is a bug. Didn't I have the memory of the original owner before? Why don't I know the identity of the original owner? And how can the original owner be considered a shady person? Isn't she looking for relatives? She can seek help from the government to prove her identity and apply for a new household registration.
Emmmmm, what do you say? The QAQ creation program is really difficult to understand QAQ (referring to non-professional students)
Big brother is so pitiful. Oh, he was a good man, why did he die?
Just by looking at him, you can tell that this kid is smart and can learn medicine?
Why does it have to be brother-in-law and sister-in-law? They have nothing to do with each other, and the name doesn't sound good either! This is due to this kind of borderline behavior.
If the male protagonist is so good-looking, wouldn't there be many people who want to marry him?
