Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"Mom, mom, wake up!"

This childish cry woke Zeng Zhengen from her sleep. She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in an unfamiliar environment. She couldn't help but feel confused. The thatched roof and the gray earthen walls all seemed so strange and incredible.

She just took a nap on the plane, how did she suddenly end up here?

Just when Zeng Zhengen was puzzled, the child's voice came again: "Mom, wake up!"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a skinny little boy lying on the side of a wooden bed, choking and calling out. The boy was wearing a ragged coarse cloth shirt that was obviously one size too big, revealing half of his wrist. However, the most surprising thing was that the boy's clothes were very similar to those in costume dramas.

Zeng Zhengen's pupils contracted instantly, and an absurd idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

Then, a sharp pain came. A strange memory kept pouring into Zeng Zhengen's mind, shocking her. She realized that she had traveled through time, and to an ancient dynasty that was not recorded in history books.

This continent is now divided into three kingdoms, namely, Mobei Kingdom, Hansu Kingdom and Longyuan Kingdom. Zeng Zhengen's current village is called Zhangguanbao, which belongs to Mobei Kingdom. However, what she couldn't accept was that she had traveled through time and space and became the mother of triplets.

Fortunately, the original body's name was also Zeng Zhengen. The original body was 25 years old this year, two years younger than her previous life, but she was already a mother of triplets. Zeng Zhengen couldn't help but sigh that in this backward ancient time, giving birth to triplets was indeed a miracle. According to the saying, giving birth to three sons in one pregnancy was also a blessing.

However, the court has been in turmoil in recent years, with internal and external troubles. The original husband went to the battlefield three years ago.

Not long ago, bad news came from the front line that her husband was ambushed in a surprise attack and was killed. This blow was too much for her to bear, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and fell ill.

However, misfortunes never come singly. After the news came back, her husband's family ruthlessly kicked her and her three children out of the house, claiming that she was a "husband-killer". Having lost her husband and being kicked out of the house, she had to raise three young children alone. All these hardships completely overwhelmed her, and she eventually died in despair.

Later, Zeng Zhengen traveled into this body. After receiving the memories of the original body, Zeng Zhengen couldn't help but sigh. This original body had such a bad fate, which was really distressing.

At this moment, the little boy next to him found that Zeng Zhengen had opened his eyes, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face. He immediately shouted outside: "Big brother, second brother, come quickly! Mom is awake!"

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside. Two equally thin little boys rushed into the room, looking nervously at Zeng Zhengen lying on the bed, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in their eyes.

Seeing that their mother really opened her eyes, the two children showed happy smiles on their faces.

"Mom, you finally woke up."

"mother……"

Zeng Zhengen looked at the three almost identical little faces in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, she had been single in her previous life and had never raised children, so she had no idea how to get along with them.

Seeing their mother was silent, the children's smiles gradually disappeared, replaced by deep worries. They knew their mother was very ill, but the family had no money to treat her. Even though they had begged their grandparents many times, they still received no response. In the end, not only did their grandparents not help, but they drove the four of them out of the house and coldly said that if their mother didn't get up, they would sell the three brothers for food.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Feeling the children's worry, Zeng Zhengen forced a smile and spoke to comfort them.

"mother……"

The three children looked at their mother lying weakly on the bed, their eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in their eyes, full of helplessness and heartache.

Zeng Zhengen really didn't know how to coax the children, so he could only gently ask them to go out and play first. The children nodded obediently, and although their eyes were full of worry, they still went out obediently.

After the children left, Zeng Zhengen sighed and began to think about what to do next. She learned from the original owner's memory that it was a famine year with natural disasters. It had not rained for more than a year and the crops in the fields had dried up. It was for this reason that Old Lady Zhang cruelly drove her and the children out in order to save some food.

Just when Zeng Zhengen was at a loss, a prompt tone suddenly rang in his head.

[Ding, the system is binding...]

"System?" Zeng Zhengen was stunned, and then she was ecstatic. This is the standard configuration for time travelers! When she was in college in her previous life, she read a lot of novels. Whenever she saw the heroines in the books had golden fingers, she was always envious. She didn't expect that such good luck would befall her now.

【Ding, system binding successful. 】

The familiar electronic sound sounded again, and then, Zeng Zhengen saw an interface similar to a computer screen. She looked closely and found that the content on the screen was very similar to the Taobao App in later generations. A wide variety of goods were displayed on the screen, including food, various seeds, seasonings, cloth, clothes and other daily necessities. Almost everything was available.

Zeng Zhengen looked at the content on the screen and couldn't help but grin. Great, with these supplies, she wouldn't have to worry about life even in a famine.

"System, can I buy everything here?" Zeng Zhengen asked anxiously.

[Yes, host, you can purchase these products with system coins. ]

"System coin? What is this?" Zeng Zhengen asked puzzledly.

[System currency is a currency used specifically to purchase goods within the system, similar to the Huaxia currency of later generations.] The system explained considerately.

"Then how do I get system coins?" Zeng Zhengen's mind moved. Does he have to exchange them with cash like exchanging game coins in later generations?

[The host can use the currency of this dynasty to exchange for system coins. One copper coin can be exchanged for ten system coins. ]

Hearing this, Zeng Zhengen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the exchange rate between copper coins and system coins was ten to one, which was not bad. But even if it was a good deal, she couldn't afford a single copper coin now.

When the Zhang family drove the original owner and her four children out of the house, they didn't even give them a penny, leaving them in a desperate situation. It seemed that she had to find a way to get some money back, otherwise, if things continued like this, they would starve to death in this famine.

Just as Zeng Zhengen was thinking to himself, a curse suddenly sounded outside.

"You are such a jinx, you killed my son and yet you still have the nerve to stay here? Why don't you take those bastards and get out of Zhangguanbao."
