Reborn in 1980, Making Money to Enrich the Whole Family

Lin Wanxing, the youngest researcher in the field of archaeology, had spent her life among thousand-year-old artifacts. Steady, perceptive, and resilient, she died in an accident when an archaeological site collapsed during an expedition.

When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn in the countryside in 1985, as a fifteen-year-old orphan whose parents were both dead.

The girl whose body she had taken over had known nothing but hardship. Her parents had died one after another, leaving only her two young, naive siblings. The three of them had been living under someone else's roof, mistreated and exploited by their mean-spirited eldest uncle's family.

On the very day she woke up, her aunt was scheming to sell her to a lazy old bachelor in the village in exchange for a bride price, claiming it would "lighten the family's burden" and giving no thought at all to her niece's fate.

Lin Wanxing, an independent and clear-eyed scholar in her previous life, would never let others push her around and turn her into an object for sale.

In front of everyone, she tore away her aunt's hypocritical mask, speaking with conviction and reason. She forcefully reclaimed her father's martyr's compensation and moved out of her terrible uncle's home with her two siblings!

The start was a disaster: the family had nothing, three mouths to feed, and their meager compensation would not last long. Her uncle's family was just waiting to see the siblings starve to death in the street.

Even in dire straits, Lin Wanxing never accepted that her fate was sealed.

She picked up an iron wok, a cleaver, and some firewood she'd scavenged, then took her siblings to the county seat to make a living.

She earned money by helping people slaughter chickens and ducks and clean fish. The chicken and duck blood and innards that everyone else turned up their noses at became mouthwatering dishes in her skilled hands, solving their food problem.

With an eye for business, she became a middlewoman between town and country, selling genuine local produce on behalf of rural farmers. She slaughtered the animals on the spot, making things clean and easy for customers. It was a win-win, and she earned the goodwill of her neighbors throughout the village.

When others copied her and maliciously stole her customers, she struck back with a secret, exclusive recipe for braised delicacies. Their rich, savory aroma and unbeatable taste let her dominate the county's braised-food market and rake in the money.

From a destitute orphan with nothing to her name to the owner of a thriving braised-food business, Lin Wanxing took one solid step after another and turned the tables against all odds.

When the spring breeze of the restored college entrance examinations swept across the land, she put aside her business and her sharp edge, picked up her pen, and began preparing for the exams. She had never once abandoned what she had learned in her previous life.

She made a living amid the bustle of everyday life, and built her future with books and learning.

She had lived freely in her previous life. In this life, she could protect her younger siblings as they grew up, make a fortune through her own ability, earn a place at a top university through her knowledge, and live a brilliant life that everyone would look up to!
