The General's Wife's Daily Life of Farming and Raising Children

Jiang Zhen transmigrates into the role of a widow's stepmother, a wicked woman hated by everyone in the surrounding villages.

From the start, she has a bare house and two children on the verge of starving.

She plans to go up the mountain to hunt and find something for the children to eat, but unexpectedly brings home a man too!

He's badly wounded, but has a distinguished air. He clearly looks like a rich family's young master.

But once you're on her turf, you're picking up a hoe and working the fields!

The man's name is Sheng Xun. It's a nice name, but he's sharp-tongued. All he ever talks about is the laws of the land!

Jiang Zhen says, what laws? You just don't want to work the fields!

She glares at him, and the man who was just talking back immediately gets to work with nimble hands and feet.

Just as their life is beginning to get on track, the man recovers from his injuries and transforms into a great general with countless military achievements. He even declares that he'll give Jiang Zhen a hundred mu of good farmland.

Sheng Xun says a lot, but Jiang Zhen only hears four words: "a hundred mu of farmland."

Sheng Xun leaves for a while. When he returns, he arrives at her door with a grand sedan chair carried by eight men, wraps an arm around her waist, and calls her his wife.

Jiang Zhen: I don't understand, and I'm deeply shocked.

Do shameless rogues really harass people in broad daylight now?!

She berates Sheng Xun and threatens to report him, but he points to the hundred mu of farmland and says, "You agreed."

It takes Jiang Zhen a long while to understand. She widens her eyes and demands, "Wasn't that payment?!"

Sheng Xun's face darkens. He stuffs the thoroughly bewildered woman into the sedan chair, picks up the two children, and says with complete confidence, "It's the betrothal gift!"

-

Sheng Xun is ambushed and stabbed several times. His life is nearly over. He never expected Jiang Zhen to find him and take him home. At first, he thinks she's a kind benefactor who saved his life. Who could have guessed she is a heartless woman who doesn't treat him like a person?

She drags him all the way down the mountain, scraping the skin right off his back?!!

Seeing how poor the woman and her two little children are, Sheng Xun doesn't know what to feel. He plans to leave as soon as his injuries heal.

But as they spend their days together, he finds himself falling for Jiang Zhen.

But when, exactly, did he fall for her?

Perhaps it was when he was suffering from a cold poison that left him in unbearable pain every fifteenth day of the month, unable to let anyone near him.

He means to drive Jiang Zhen away and endure it alone, but she drags over a hoe and knocks him unconscious with it.

Sheng Xun: Well... it's hard to stay alive.

Once healed, Sheng Xun leaves. When he comes back, he really does bring a hundred mu of farmland, intending to marry Jiang Zhen and take her home.

But she turns on him and drives him out, and only the two children secretly open the door for him.

After tricking her into coming home with him, whenever the cold poison flares up again, Sheng Xun wraps his arms around Jiang Zhen's waist and rubs against her pitifully, whining, "Dear, don't hit me with the hoe again. Give me a hug~"

Who would have thought that a mighty general would have Jiang Zhen cure his cold poison every time by hitting him with a hoe?

Well... that's pretty amazing.

Jiang Zhen can only spread her hands helplessly, still completely bewildered. Somehow, she's gotten married... to a general, no less?

Well... her life with a golden finger is about to begin.

Jiang Zhen: I'm slacking off. Do not disturb.
