The Story of the Song Family’s Eldest Daughter Building Fortune Through Farming

Song Yuanxiang had transmigrated into the body of a young girl from a farming family in ancient times. A flood had swept through her hometown, taking her parents’ lives. She had fled with other members of her clan to this place, and now her home was utterly bare—no grain left in storage, only two younger siblings, a brother and a sister, crying from hunger. Looking at the dilapidated thatched hut and the weeds growing nearly waist-high in front of the door… she rolled up her sleeves and got straight to work. She made pottery, fermented bean curd, planted soybeans, bought oxen, and acquired fields… Bit by bit, their life grew better and more prosperous! Before long, Song Yuanxiang became known far and wide as the “Fortune-Bringing Maiden.” Starting from nothing but a single thatched hut, she had completely turned her circumstances around. Besides earning money, she also had a habit of taking in stray people in need. The first person she picked up was a “fool” who seemed simple-minded. She named him A’yun. And it was A’yun who stayed by her side for the rest of her life. Four people under one roof, sharing three meals a day through all four seasons of the year.
