Shui Qing recalled her last days in China.
As a successful businesswoman who has worked her way up, she is childless and plagued by illness.
Before her death, she donated all her wealth to girls in impoverished mountain areas to help them complete their studies and leave the mountains.
I also made a few wishes to the gods:
The most important thing is, of course, to have a healthy body—only when you are tormented by illness do you realize that no amount of money can buy back health.
Secondly, she wanted a biological child of her own—any child, male or female, as long as they shared her bloodline.
Finally, starting over is all the rage these days. Rebirth goes without saying, but if she were to transmigrate, she hoped she could transmigrate into a novel she had already read!
...She did make a wish back then, and it came true, but was the fulfillment of that wish somewhat hasty?
My body is actually quite healthy, but we're poor here. We go hungry sometimes and our safety isn't guaranteed.
Not only do they have biological children, but they also have both sons and daughters—it's just a bit too many at once...
She did indeed transmigrate, and she did indeed transmigrate into a novel she had read. Not only had she read it, but most people in China had probably read it as well, since it was hard not to have read Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination in The Scholars.
Shuiqing, on the verge of tears, wanted to shout: "She won't accept being assigned to another major!"
But there's nothing we can do. It was her wish, and how can we say it didn't come true?
It's all because she didn't make her wish clear!
She did want to send her back to China, but the original owner was gone, and her body in China had also died. What could she do? She'd just have to make do and keep going...
"Sis, where's brother-in-law?" A cheerful young voice came from behind, filled with joy.
The listless Shui Qing raised her head and looked at the bright-eyed boy, her younger brother, Hu Wenhua, who was fifteen years old this year.
The original owner's parents only had two children. After giving birth to her, Hu's mother's health was damaged, and it wasn't until many years later that Hu Wenhua was born, so the two siblings were quite far apart in age.
Although Hu Wenhua's name sounds scholarly, his burly physique is exactly like that of Butcher Hu!
He was only fifteen years old and was even half a head taller than Butcher Hu, and as strong as a big black bear.
She should resemble Hu's mother, with a slender figure.
Shui Qing was about to reply when she heard a booming voice from the side humming, "What else can your brother-in-law do besides copying books?"
"You're useless at farm work, and you can't even do scientific research. You've truly wasted the trust your father placed in you back then!"
Shui Qing silently added in her heart: ...You're just enjoying your words now, but once your son-in-law passes the imperial examination, you'll be the kind of person who'll be following behind him and tugging at his clothes dozens of times.
Passing the imperial examination and becoming a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations) wasn't just about having a secure job, it was about getting rich quick. Then you could rise through the ranks to become the head of the provincial education department...
“Grandfather, Father didn’t copy books today,” Fan He replied crisply.
"He's not even copying books anymore? How is he going to support my daughter then!" Butcher Hu said angrily, his thick black eyebrows furrowed.
"Father went to sell bamboo mushrooms and skirt mushrooms," Fan He said immediately.
Butcher Hu was about to say that those worthless things could be sold for a few coins when he was interrupted by a villager who had come with him: "Butcher Hu, don't worry about it."
Your son-in-law is at least a scholar; he humbled himself by copying books and selling mushrooms. What more could you ask for?
"Come here, my dear niece, don't listen to your old man. Your husband might just pass the imperial examination next year!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
