Through the 60s: I Want Life, Not Just to Survive
Plain and short-lived Jiang Shushu died six hours earlier than fated, all thanks to a drop of virgin boy's urine from the King of Hell's son.
To compensate, the King of Hell offered Jiang Shushu three choices.
First, she could reincarnate according to her original trajectory, into the animal realm. (The King of Hell promised she would be well-fed and cared for her entire life.)
Second, he would fulfill her wish to become a billionaire. (However, she would be an 80-year-old billionaire with only 6 days left to live.)
Third, she could become an 18-year-old village girl in the parallel world of the 1960s, responsible for supporting her parents. (The King of Hell would generously provide 600 units of supplies each month.)
With beef costing 40 yuan a catty and 600 yuan to be spent among three people, Jiang Shushu was unenthusiastic just thinking about it. Ultimately, Jiang Shushu tearfully chose the third option.
After transmigration, Jiang Shushu's life was truly bitter. Every meal consisted of sweet potatoes, with not a drop of oil to be seen.
Jiang Shushu would drool daily, looking at the 20 catties of meat she had purchased at a huge expense. Yet, she couldn't find an opportunity to eat it, as everyone knew she had no money or tickets. After much sneaking around, she finally managed to steam some meat slices with boiling water. She had barely eaten a few pieces when she was almost discovered.
After more than half a month of farm work, Jiang Shushu was so exhausted she nearly shed a layer of skin. She learned from her pain, and to be able to eat some meat, decided to go into the city to find work.
Jiang Shushu finally found a job in her old line of work (wiping tables, collecting dishes). However, after just one month, she heard news of impending layoffs. To keep her "iron rice bowl" job, Jiang Shushu worked hard with all the employees of the state-run restaurant, striving for excellence. They turned the worst-performing state-run restaurant in N City into the industry leader.
