With an Encyclopedia in Hand, I Farm My Way to Fortune During the Famine

Song Zhaodi accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by an unrelated man. Her fiancé, who already had a lover, seized the chance to break off their engagement and even demanded the betrothal gifts back. Grandma beat her chest in despair. “I told you girls were money pits! I’ll never be able to hold my head up again.” Song Zhaodi went berserk on the spot. “You old money pit, if you can’t hold your head up, just stick it between your legs. What’s the big deal? And forget this stupid name, Zhaodi. I don’t want it anymore. From now on, I’m Song Xingchen.” Everyone: The eldest Song daughter has lost her mind! She’s gone crazy! Her two-faced best friend challenged her. “It takes two to tango.” Song Xingchen smacked her across the face. “Well, did that make a sound?” The meek little lamb who used to accept whatever came her way had become a shrew. She could argue her case even when she was in the wrong, and if she was right, she certainly wouldn’t let anyone off the hook. Her motto: None of my business, none of yours! Get rich, see through fake women, and crush scumbags. A relative mocked her. “With a reputation like yours, why haven’t you hurried up and gotten married?” Song Xingchen rolled her eyes. “You’re so old. Why haven’t you hurried up and died?” The next day, the village bully came to propose to Song Xingchen. Everyone thought Song Xingchen was in for a miserable life, and waited to see the bully beat her, berate her, and eventually cast her off. They waited and waited, until they saw Song Xingchen go from never having enough to eat to enjoying fish and meat at every meal, and from a leaky thatched hut to a house with brick walls and tiled roofs. They even saw the bully, Shen Che, kneeling with one knee on the ground while Song Xingchen twisted his ear and scolded him. Even crazier, the bully Shen Che became a great general, while the shrew Song Xingchen earned a first-rank noble title! Everyone said Song Xingchen must have been blessed by heaven. Song Xingchen: Of course. With my lucky koi constitution and my golden finger, an encyclopedia of cheats, shouldn’t I be living a good life?
