Daily Life of Raising Kids and Farming in the Countryside

Shen Ning and Pei Changqing had successful careers and a happy marriage. One day, they transmigrated into a couple who were both poor and utterly awful. The man was devoted to his older brother, supporting his studies while mistreating his own wife and children, and eventually dying a miserable death. The woman constantly fought to split the family apart while working herself to the bone, and eventually died a pathetic death. Pei Changqing: "Honey, our first step, our second step... We'll do this and that and climb to the top of the world." Shen Ning went straight to their door with a knife, demanding compensation, food, and a family split! Pei Changqing: "I never expected that after transmigrating, I'd get to live off my wife. It's great! Though, these two kids we got saddled with..." Later, they discovered that their daughter looked like a sweet, pitiful little thing, but was actually a strong girl who could beat up bratty kids. Their son looked like a little dummy, but was really a scheming child prodigy and a genius at studying. Shen Ning: Starry-eyed. "Our kids are amazing! Just like their dad!" Pei Changqing: - - The two kids: Hehe. * When they split from the family, the second branch had nothing.

Eventually, she became a famous philanthropist across the land, and the emperor bestowed on her the title of Lady of Good Fortune. Pei Erlang led a team to build a spacious, bright new house. He formed a construction crew, built heated brick beds and houses, and made a fortune. Later, he studied for the imperial exams alongside his son, passing the county, prefectural, and palace exams and becoming a favorite of the emperor. As for the poor little children, they fell into a nest of good fortune as soon as the family split.
