The Green Tea Big Sister of the Seventies

Jiang Xue had been an only child for more than twenty years. Then, in a single moment, she transmigrated and became Jiang Chunxue, an eighteen-year-old eldest sister in Jiangjiawan in the 1970s.

When she arrived, her new body's parents had just passed the seventh day after their deaths. They left her not only a courtyard of broken bricks and crumbling walls,

but also five younger siblings, as skinny as bean sprouts, crying out to be fed.

The villagers felt sorry for her, but also thought she was doomed.

The eldest sister was like a mother. With their parents gone, she would have to take charge, make selfless sacrifices, and raise her younger siblings to adulthood!

Jiang Xue: Taking charge is fine. Making selfless sacrifices? Dream on!

A hardworking older sister can only raise lazy younger siblings. A lazy older sister can teach them responsibility and accountability!

As long as they were not nursing babies, she could find a way for them to be useful.

Want to eat for free in this household? No way!

And so, with a new soul inside her, Jiang Chunxue began her unconventional child-rearing journey.

While other eldest sisters worked hard to cook for their younger siblings,

Jiang Chunxue praised her eldest younger brother's cooking, and soon had three meals a day ready and waiting for her.

While other eldest sisters stayed up late washing their younger siblings' clothes,

Jiang Chunxue used delicious food as an incentive. Not only did her younger siblings wash their own clothes, they even fought over who got to wash hers.

While other eldest sisters dropped out of school to earn money to support their younger siblings' studies,

Jiang Chunxue spent her days sending them up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and gather medicinal herbs to pay her tuition.

As time went by, the villagers all said Jiang Chunxue was a disgrace as an eldest sister. Not only was she selfish, she spent all day exploiting her younger siblings for labor. She did not act like an older sister at all. Children raised that way would never amount to anything, and would surely resent and hate her one day.

But what became of the Jiang siblings they had written off as failures?

The eldest younger brother rose through the ranks with his cooking skills and eventually opened a chain of restaurants.

The second younger brother drew on his childhood experience gathering medicinal herbs to build a hugely profitable herb business.

The younger sister, influenced by her older sister for years, became a renowned fashion designer.

The fourth younger brother and fifth younger sister made a name for themselves in the college entrance exams, becoming the province's top student in the arts and top student in the sciences!

The five siblings transformed into well-known, successful people throughout the province and city.

Later, when the provincial television station came to interview them and asked whom they were most grateful to and admired, the Jiang siblings did not hesitate. All at once, they turned their eyes toward the eldest Jiang sister, Jiang Chunxue, sitting below the stage!

Everyone was ready to praise this selfless older sister who had devoted herself to lighting the way for her younger siblings,

but they discovered that she was no obscure nobody at all.

She was the secret boss of a real estate company that had just gone public!

Everyone: ...What kind of incredible eldest sister was this?

What to expect: An unconventional child-rearing story. The heroine and her younger siblings grow together, with no one-sided sacrifice.
