[Blurb]
Lin Wei transmigrated.
The good news: her younger brother, Lin Wenhao, came with her.
The bad news: they had just been "kicked out," and all they had were two dilapidated thatched huts, two acres of barren land, twenty jin of brown rice, and the pots, bowls, and other utensils for two. Nothing else!
Lin Wei: Fine. We survived, and my brother and I are still together, so we're already lucky. We can't ask for too much. So what if we're poor and life is hard? I can... no, we can do this!
She immediately told her brother, "Don't worry. I can farm and raise livestock."
Her brother wasn't about to be outdone. "It's fine, Sis. I can open a restaurant, too."
And so the two of them got to work: improving the farmland, clearing wasteland, planting rice, corn, soybeans, and more, starting a pig-raising operation, setting up a stall, opening a restaurant, and building food-processing and liquor factories... They even helped the whole village get rich along the way.
Just as life was getting better by the day, their sworn elder brother, who had been conscripted to fight and was supposedly dead, suddenly returned.
He said he'd earned great merit and been appointed to a high-ranking position, and wanted to take Lin Wei and her brother to the capital to enjoy a life of comfort.
Lin Wei and her brother held a quick discussion behind their house. Farming was farming wherever they went, livestock could be raised anywhere, and business could be done anywhere. Since they had a powerful backer, they might as well go see what the capital was like.
But why did their sworn elder brother have a different name after they reached the capital?
Lin Wei and Lin Wenhao: Oh, so our sworn elder brother has a complicated background.
And why did their sworn elder brother stop finding suitable matches for Lin Wei, and start looking at her in a way that felt more and more strange?
Lin Wei and Lin Wenhao: What do I do if our sworn elder brother has fallen for me (my sister)? Help, it's urgent!

[Preorder: The Young Lady of the General's Household. Here's the blurb. Please add it to your collection!]
Yun Ying was born into the household of the Grand General Who Guards the Nation.
She thought she could eat, drink, play, and live as a carefree slacker for the rest of her life.
She never expected that after fifteen carefree years, an enemy army would reach the border and her father and brothers would be ordered north to the battlefield.
Before the things Yun Ying had prepared could even be put to use, urgent news arrived from the border: her father and brothers had died in battle, and the border had lost two cities.
In a single night, her grandmother died of grief, her mother fainted from sorrow, and her elder sister went to the palace and came back with the post of Grand General.
Yun Ying had no choice but to step up from her slacker life. From then on, she buried her grandmother, dispelled rumors, expanded the shops, comforted the fallen heroes' spirits, steadied the General's household, made down jackets, and headed to the border...
One thing after another left the people of the capital in awe. So the young lady of the Yun family could do more than eat, drink, and have fun!
"A Ying, the Yun family motto is: the nation comes first, the family second. The General's household is responsible for the people's well-being and the safety of our land. As long as even one Yun family member can go to battle, they must uphold this motto and shoulder this responsibility!"
But there was no one left in the General's household but us! Yun Ying cried out in her heart, but she knew she couldn't stop her elder sister!
"Go without worry, Sister. A Ying will hold up the General's household."
"A Ying, I believe in you!"
From the day Yun Ying took charge of the General's household, she planned to spend her whole life alone!
But all along the way, one person stayed by her side. Before she even knew how he felt, he had already made a vow to his mother at home.
As winter approached, the lady in charge of the Marquis of Xin'an's household looked at her eldest son kneeling before her and asked helplessly:
"Back then, you wanted to help that young lady of the Yun family for two reasons: you admired the Yun family's fallen heroes, and she once helped you when you were children. Now you insist on protecting her as she heads to the border, even against your father's objections. Are those still the reasons?"
Ye Qing'an stood with his back straight, his cool eyes filled with resolve. "No. This time, it's because she is the one I love. For the rest of my life, Qing'an will have only her. Of course I should protect her."
Theme: Life keeps getting better.
I don't understand. I know that everyone is biased against konjac, but I told the restaurant that this thing is made of konjac and cannot be called crystal tofu. Then I told them to keep the recipe secret and let them try it first. Otherwise, even if they sell it with a shameful face, if there is any food safety problem later, it will be all your fault.
... I said being too soft-hearted is not a good thing. Is it because the author is too soft-hearted or because the siblings are too soft-hearted. It feels like I'm seeing a lot of trouble
Didn't do anything? He also promised to be nice to others! If nothing happens, I owe you a favor! [Gotou] I still want to repay you just because of one sentence. I won't tell you if someone gave you food when you were separated and you didn't have food. It's just that you owe a favor first. It's inexplicable. Just because you had a good time, you sold paper to teach literacy. I read the article and saw that you inexplicably showed your heart to others, okay? The key is that she's not the real heroine, right? Why are you in such a hurry?
Can you get down to business? Why do you keep talking about common things? Just take the things and leave. It's so relaxing at home when things are so difficult.
Couldn't he be the heroine's eldest brother? Why don't we recognize each other for some reason?
Did you whitewash the little Wang family? I feel like my attitude toward Xiao Wang has changed from the very bad description before to now. There is a kind of utopian whitewashing, which is very idealistic Previously, I was trying to force my sister and brother to speak harsh words about Xiao Wang, but now my attitude has changed? Even if poverty makes people picky and picky, can little Wang with the character described above really turn into the person described in this chapter through just a few days or a few months of brainwashing and changes in family circumstances? Really ideal Although it doesn't have to be bad to the end, it doesn't have to be good to the end to be good. But the description of this change is a bit thin, and I don't believe that a person who has been there for decades can change his nature in just a few months. Now that I have read the full text, the plot feels very reasonable, but the specific descriptions and some of the specific changes in it are a little thin and idealistic, and there is a feeling that after just a few strokes, it is taken for granted. For example: When my younger brother runs a restaurant, he just describes it in a few sentences. He doesn't write much about how the business will be run and how it will develop. My sister's side is fine, a little more concrete, but not quite enough. Because the introduction of this article and the plot I have seen so far all indicate that the focus will be on how the brothers and sisters struggled to make a fortune in ancient times. However, as of this chapter, the description of the specific struggle is not in-depth enough, and it always feels like a few strokes. It's a little more specific when it comes to buying pigs, but the golden finger is very open. When you encounter a problem, you just jump to the one who was caught and speculated, and you don't use the wisdom of the heroine at all. When I was running a restaurant, I was thinking about what to sell in the early stage, what to do in the middle, how to design the restaurant, how to attract customers and open it later, etc. It was over very quickly, and I didn't have the opportunity to use my younger brother's talents. Not much focus Every day I focus on who the supporting characters like, this one is passionate, that one is passionate. I came here because I really like the setting of the introduction of this article. I thought I could see the development and struggle of the siblings in ancient times. I don't really want to see the supporting character's point of view (which is a bit cheesy in my opinion) having feelings for the heroine.
I read the article late at night. Throughout the article, the heroine shines like a holy mother and makes money.
It's too much. If a caring person approaches the heroine and gives a little bit, wouldn't it be enough to squeeze the heroine dry?
After marrying an unreasonable woman and being suppressed, it's not because you love her that you respect your wife, so what do you think about not being able to hit or scold her and not retaliate?
It's not worth my money to watch. It's too holy. Only Ergou has forgiven him three times in front of the readers. If Ergou's mother hadn't set herself on fire and the whole family, Ben and Ben would not have died.
