Jiang He got into a car accident on her way to a job interview and, unfortunately, transmigrated.

When she opened her eyes again, she had gone from an unemployed young woman to a scruffy girl. The family's ramshackle hut couldn't keep out the rain or wind, the rice jar was nearly empty, and the money box was bare.

Before Jiang He could react, three gaunt children, from tallest to shortest, came in from outside.

The littlest one blinked and called her "Mama."

Jiang He was stunned.

After asking around the village, Jiang He learned that Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, and she herself had all been picked up during the war by her unreliable husband.

As for that unreliable husband, he had been conscripted two years ago. No one knew where he was, whether he was still clearing battlefields or even if he was alive.

Fortunately, the war was over, and the country was ready to rebuild. There were opportunities to make money everywhere.

While waiting to collect her absent husband's enormous compensation and inherit his house, fields, and possessions, Jiang He earned money and made a life with the three children.

The fields! Fill them with crops!

The chickens in the yard! Fatten them up!

Dabao studied hard to prepare for the imperial exams! Erbao practiced martial arts and became a fearsome force!

Xiaobao learned to make delicious egg burgers!

The family's life got better and better.

As Jiang He's little courtyard grew bigger and her wallet fatter, one group after another of people looking for family members came from the capital.

The usually hostile Marquis Ding'an and the princess royal got into a fight right at her gate, each insisting Xiaobao was their child. The Secretariat Chancellor kept showing up every day, insisting that Dabao needed a home.

While Jiang He was comforting Erbao, the regent came to visit and asked to adopt Erbao as his goddaughter.

Jiang He was getting a headache from all the commotion. She had the three children bring out two large tables, then personally hung a huge sign by the gate.

"Farmhouse Restaurant (Admission charged; meals and lodging cost extra)"

The wealthy cabbage-heads from the capital came in one after another, and Jiang He laughed as she harvested them.

Then, one morning, a burly man on a tall horse appeared at the courtyard gate.

Jiang He held out her hand. "Pay the admission fee first."

The man dismounted and stared at her pale palm for a moment, puzzled. "Do I have to pay to come home?"

Jiang He was stunned. Her bargain husband had come back alive?!

Gu Pei realized that his wife had changed. She didn't love him at all anymore, and even wanted a divorce!

He hurriedly and humbly asked the people around him for advice.

A comrade suggested complimenting her cooking.

Gu Pei ate five steamed buns in one sitting.

Jiang He: Tsk, what a waste.

A childhood friend suggested showing off his strength.

Gu Pei went out to work in the fields wearing only a short shirt. His muscular body made passersby turn their heads again and again.

Jiang He: Annoying! Don't pick the vegetables I planted!

His friends all said it was hopeless and he should give up.

That night, the worried man turned to face Jiang He as they lay in bed.

Jiang He: Gasp! Eight-pack abs!

Gu Pei: ?! You should've said you liked looking at this!!!
