I Raise My Daughter-in-Law in Ancient Times

Having read over 400 chapters, here are my overall impressions: the writing is excellent, the plot is well-developed, and there aren't too many extreme conflicts, making it a comfortable read. Unlike many novels where the protagonist encounters only good people, and even the minor characters are morally corrupt, this one is much better.

Before we knew it, 2018 had passed. I really wish time would slow down, just a little bit more. So many things were only half done, and now they have to be rushed to the end. It feels a bit rushed, but I also feel that I can't force it! After all, there is no such thing as perfection in this world! This year has been very rewarding.

When we first settled down, rice and flour were still expensive, costing 300 coins per pound. Zhang Dali's family sold braised noodles for 15 coins a bowl and gave away two steamed buns. Are their noodles served in bite-sized bowls and their steamed buns only the size of a little finger? Otherwise, how could they make any money? They'd be losing money hand over fist.

It's a very good novel about farming with a male protagonist, full of rural life atmosphere, and it's very well written.

A foot-operated spinning machine costs only thirty taels of silver, while a few wooden shelves for holding soap cost over two hundred taels. This is utterly unreasonable.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my lovely fairies! 😊 Just a quick note: I'm taking a day off 🤭. I'll definitely try my best to update tomorrow! Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement, muah! 💋

Zhang Dali's family bought a cow for 200 taels of silver to open a noodle stall. A bowl of noodles cost 15 coins, and one tael of silver was equal to 1,000 coins. They would need to sell over 13,000 bowls of noodles to earn 200 taels, not even counting costs. And that's not even considering the 300 coins per jin (500 grams) of rice and flour. @Reader

I've read up to chapter 150-something. The plot is still good, but the handling of money is particularly unreasonable. I'd like to ask if it will remain like this later on? If it does, I'll drop the story; if it's been improved, I'll continue reading. @Reader I hope the author will see my comments and reply to me. Thank you.

The plot is still enjoyable, but the money is poorly handled. For example, when the protagonist first starts making soap, the wooden frame costs over 200 taels of silver. In ancient times, there were many trees, and unless it was a particularly fine and precious piece of wood, almost anyone in the countryside, except for carpenters, could build a frame. 200 Taels is outrageous!

Erni knows way too much! In the beginning, she only learned to read from the villagers, and then she seemed to know everything without any transition. It's one thing if Zhang Chuanxue didn't notice, but the author made all the other characters so different, how come they didn't notice? A peasant girl, never exposed to those things, how does she know? Did she read it in a book?
