The Superlative Widow's Farming Comeback

Modern single mother Jiang Zao transmigrates into the body of a village woman in ancient times after a car accident.

The bad news: things are pretty “moving” from the start. Her husband died of illness just over a month ago, her three stepchildren are all under ten, the youngest girl has a high fever that won't break, and the family's grain jar is completely empty...

The good news: her daughter transmigrated with her! What's more, she accidentally triggered a time-space trading System, even though there's not a single cent in it.

She grits her teeth. Her most urgent task is to get food and fever medicine.

Can they survive? Can they make it through all the hardships on the road as refugees? Will life get better after this?

Jiang Zao doesn't dare imagine. Looking at the child who looks exactly like her daughter, she makes up her mind: even if every step is strewn with thorns, she has to keep going!

Gradually, she discovers the System has a pretty satisfying setup...

When she tears into her snarky sister-in-law,

the System prompts: [Ding-dong, detected “satisfaction points,” worth 5 yuan. Exchange?]

When she brings her in-laws fragrant rabbit meat,

the System prompts: [Ding-dong, detected “family affection points,” worth 10 yuan. Exchange?]

When the villagers rescue a man whose face is swollen like a pig's,

the System prompts: [Ding-dong, detected today's “handsome points,” worth 100 yuan. Exchange?]

Jiang Zao, whose only goal is making money, freezes. Today's handsome points? Is the System blind? Wait, does this mean that as long as she keeps this pig-faced man in the village, she can earn 100 yuan for free every day?

Shen Huaichuan, an older unmarried county magistrate: This little widow is unusually warm toward me. Could she have ulterior motives? I need to recover quickly and get back to the county seat, before I get dragged into trouble!

After returning, Shen Huaichuan thinks of all the delicious food that woman made every time he sits down to eat. Everything tastes bland. But by the time he returns to the village, it's already deserted.

Four years later, on the prefect's orders, he goes to a neighboring county to inspect intercropping techniques and meets again the widow who suddenly turned cold toward him back then…
