Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Tong Yao never expected that getting a milk tea could result in getting struck by lightning on a sunny day, and then waking up in the 1980s. She became a mischievous, spoilt wife of a top-tier doctor from the future. Rather than leading an ordinary life, she was caught eloping and stealing money, and reacted with crying, making a fuss, and hitting walls. Under the hopeless circumstances, she discovered she could understand animal language. While other time-travelers were busy making money to support their families, she was just enjoying the show. "The deputy director's wife accepted five jins of pork from a patient's family. The old couple is squabbling behind closed doors right now." "The Dean has had a flare-up of hemorrhoids these past few days and can't sit on a chair." "Mr. Li's wife is a tough woman. That missing tooth on the left was knocked out by her." "Tong Yao has improper conduct. She used to secretly meet people in the village." Tong Yao didn't expect the day would come when she would be the talk of the town. ... One day, Tong Yao heard a stray cat at the door muttering, "Dr. Si is having a date with a nurse in the corridor." Furious, Tong Yao went to catch them in the act, only to find the doctor was discussing a patient's condition with a nurse who was over fifty. Wanting to run away, Tong Yao found her escape route cut off by the doctor, who backed her against a wall, "So I heard you came to catch us, huh?" Tong Yao never expected the saying, 'Those who always walk by the river eventually get their shoes wet,' to come true.

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

Farm System, Baby, and a Fortune: My '70s Divorce

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
