The Abandoned Daughter’s Return: Farming My Family to Prosperity
kaili_shell
Kicked out by her husband’s family on the charge of “being barren”, Lin Wanxing dragged her exhausted body back to her maternal home, which was nothing but four bare walls and a scene of devastation. Her mother lay gravely ill on the earthen kang, her father hunched over with guilt, and her younger siblings, sallow and emaciated, huddled timidly beside them—at a single glance, all she saw was utter despair.
In her past life, she had coveted vanity and placed her trust in the wrong man, meeting a tragic end. Reborn and back home, she put aside her delusions, clinging to only one thought: to stand by her family and live a down-to-earth life. With no system to aid her, no miraculous luck to rely on, she drew solely on her past-life knowledge of farming and herb identification. Together with her family, she reclaimed wasteland, improved the soil, sowed crops, gathered medicinal herbs, and launched side businesses, step by step solving their food shortages and healing her mother.
She shunned household feuds and melodramatic scheming, treating others with sincerity and rallying her neighbors to help one another and prosper together. She watched as their dilapidated thatched hut turned into a brick house, as her younger siblings grew up to achieve success, as her family thrived in health and harmony, and as the barren mountain village transformed into a land of plenty and contentment.
With her pair of diligent hands, Lin Wanxing never built any earth-shattering grand cause. Yet she led her entire family and neighbors to cultivate a human flourishing that belonged to ordinary people, penning a warm, healing, and down-to-earth legend of rising from adversity through farming.
