Farming and Raising Kids in Ancient Times

After transmigrating into the body of a young widow in ancient times, Jiang Zhi planned to quietly build a fortune and become a happy self-made rich woman. Unfortunately, a widow's doorstep is always rife with trouble. First, a madwoman from the village wrecked her sugarcane field. Then the estate manager tried to harass her and steal her land. Damn it, just because the tiger hasn't shown its claws, you think this old lady is a pushover? Believe me, I'll kick you to death! … When Jiang Zhi came to, her husband had just been buried, and she was left with three children to raise. Her family was dirt poor, and three little mouths needed feeding. Jiang Zhi was at her wit's end. But what was going on? Her adoptive father traveled a long way to bring gifts, insisting that his grandson start his studies at four. He was determined to raise him into a little prodigy who could write poetry at five, compose essays at seven, and sit the imperial exams at twelve. Her sister-in-law went out to gather wild greens one morning, then came rolling and scrambling down the mountain, threw her arms around Jiang Zhi, and burst into tears, vowing to make something of herself. When her eldest brother, away on business, heard that his sister's husband had died, he threw his head back and laughed as he strode out: A man will only slow a woman down when she's drawing her blade! … So what if the family was poor? So what if she was a widow? Jiang Zhi kicked out the worst sorts, outwitted bullies, and led the whole family to wealth through farming. She farmed with her magic space, made white sugar and soap, distilled alcohol, crafted perfume, improved looms, and promoted cotton cultivation, spurring the growth of the textile industry... Her son did her proud, sailing through the imperial exams and earning her a first-rank noble title. Her second brother devoted himself to farming, while her younger sister focused on textiles. Each family member eventually made their mark in their own field. And Jiang Zhi, too, met the one who was meant for her.
