I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

Chapter 2? I'm a grandmother now? And I have to raise six grandchildren?

For three consecutive years, the Great Sheng Dynasty had not seen a single drop of rain, leaving the land parched and the fields littered with corpses of the starving.

Even in the capital, under the emperor's nose, no one, even among noble families, could remain unscathed.

Since last year, ordinary people in Beijing have also been living in poverty.

Compared to other wealthy families in the capital, life was even more difficult for the General of the Cavalry, who was already poor and had to support a large number of soldiers on the border.

Now there are only seven masters and ten servants left in the mansion.

They are Yu Wanwan, who is eighteen years old. She was originally the third daughter of a concubine in the household of the Minister of Rites, but she was mentally challenged and acted crazy since childhood.

She was a notorious madwoman in the capital.

Originally, it was thought that such a crazy young lady would never be able to get married, but unexpectedly, a year ago, the General of the Cavalry sent a letter from the distant northwest border.

He requested the Emperor to grant him a marriage with Yu Wanwan.

So, the Ministry of Rites, having received the imperial decree, used the excuse that the general's family consisted of a bunch of young children who needed their grandmother to take care of them, and regardless of whether the General of the Cavalry was in the capital or whether the two had held a wedding ceremony, they couldn't wait to send the crazy Miss Yu Wanwan over.

People in the capital, struggling to survive due to the drought, had no time to care about the trivial matters of others.

There wasn't even anyone in the capital discussing whether this was reasonable or not.

Most of the people in the General's Mansion dared not speak out against her anger, because Yu Wanwan was the matriarch of the General's Mansion.

That's right, an eighteen-year-old lady.

Her husband, the Grand General Pei Yi, who hadn't yet married her, was only twenty-three years old, but his seniority was undeniable.

He was the youngest son of the old general; even his closest brother, the third brother, was twenty years older than him.

His youngest nephew is two years older than him.

Unfortunately, the entire General's family, including the women, were loyal martyrs, and all except Pei Yi and his six young grand-nephews died on the battlefield.

Today, Pei Yi is still leading troops to guard the border.

The eldest of the six grandnephews was only eight years old. To ensure their safety, they were all left in the capital and entrusted to servants for care.

The six grandnephews are Pei Yucheng, the eldest at eight years old; Pei Chenhao, the second at seven years old; Pei Shiya, the third at six years old; Pei Haoyu, the fourth at five years old; Pei Yajing, the fifth at five years old; and Pei Yuxuan, the sixth at two years old.

As soon as Yu Wanwan transmigrated, these memories that did not belong to her immediately swept over her brain.

She realized she had been transported to another world.

After learning her current identity, her lips twitched.

Not long ago, she swore that she would never take care of her grandchildren in her life.

Damn, it hasn't been long, and she already has six grandchildren.

And she even transmigrated to such a tragic dynasty.

No wonder she had never seen any description of this dynasty in history books; she suspected that the drought had directly brought this dynasty to an end.

The original owner was a crazy young lady, who not only acted crazy indiscriminately towards people, but also liked to scratch and claw at them.

And he's very domineering.

So domineering was he that he seized all the remaining grain in the general's mansion for himself.

Yu Wanwan frowned.

It seems that her six adopted grandsons have been relying on servants to find tree bark to fill their stomachs lately. Many are so hungry that they eat tree bark, and with the continuous drought, the vegetation has withered, and even tree bark is scarce.

Her youngest grandson is only two years old. Could he be starving to death?

Miss Crazy is quite ruthless.

***

The servants of the manor all went out to find food.

Pei Yuchen and the others lay in bed, not daring to move, afraid that they would get hungry even faster if they moved, but they really had no other choice.

Pei Yuchen's face was dark and grimy from not washing for a long time, and his eyes looked at the sixth brother, Pei Yuxuan, with worry.

The older children could still gnaw on tree bark, and if all else failed, they could eat some clay, but Pei Yuxuan was still too young.

Born during a time of famine, he suffered from malnutrition from a young age. Now he can't even walk, can't chew tree bark, and they dare not feed him clay.

He is so weak that he seems unable to breathe.

They had unknowingly walked outside the Begonia Garden.

This is the courtyard where Yu Wanwan lives.

Pei Yuchen took a deep breath, his eyes instantly hardening.

"Let's go ask Grandma for some food; she must still have some."

***

The original owner hid all the food in a box under the bed.

Looking inside the wooden box, there were several hard, flat cakes wrapped in a dark cloth, a bag of millet weighing about five pounds, and another bag of coarse grains, also weighing about five pounds, mixed with sand.

Yu Wanwan had absolutely no appetite.

She suddenly remembered her online space.

She sensed the space with her mind and breathed a slight sigh of relief as she looked at the space crammed full of supplies.

Fortunately, it's not too bad.

At this point, she had a little free time and could sort out what had happened.

All of this happened after she put on the bracelet.

Oh, right, the bracelet.

Yu Wanwan lowered her eyes and rolled up her wide sleeves.

The bracelet is still on my wrist.

If wearing the bracelet allows you to travel through time, what happens if you take it off?

She raised her other hand and tried to take the bracelet off.

It ended in failure.

It was as if there was a barrier around her wrist; once the bracelet was pulled to that spot, it could not be pulled any further.

Yu Wanwan sighed helplessly. Well, at least this bracelet, which looks like its value has skyrocketed, is something that no one can steal even if they wanted to.

As she fiddled with the bracelet, a new text notification appeared in her mind.

[Ding-dong, countdown to traveling to the modern era begins, 167:57:52]

That is, one week.

Does that mean she'll be back in the modern world in a week?

She still remembered that the system's name was "Time Travel System: Raising Children and Getting Rich," which meant that she would travel back to the present after spending a certain amount of time in the modern world.

"Tongzi, is there something wrong with my understanding?"

Tongzi did not reply to her.

Yu Wanwan knew she had to figure it out herself.

The only certainty right now is that she will definitely travel to the modern world after a week.

In this way, she won't have to be stingy with the food stored in her space.

She had just roughly counted that there were fifty bags of rice weighing fifty kilograms each in the space, and a total of one hundred bags of rice weighing ten kilograms each from various brands.

There are fifty 18.9-liter bottles of water, about ten boxes of 500-milliliter bottles of mineral water, and seven or eight boxes of milk.

There were also five or six barrels of cooking oil, a box of salt, a box of white sugar, five boxes of pickled vegetables such as pickled mustard greens and kelp strips, two boxes of ham sausages, two boxes of braised eggs, a box of canned black bean dace, a box of canned luncheon meat, several boxes of instant noodles, several boxes of self-heating rice, and two boxes of small bread rolls.

Several packs of White Rabbit milk candy and a large tub of lollipops.

The space was so full that even if a mouse wanted to come, it wouldn't have a place to stand.

This space is still too small; it's far from enough to store everything in the warehouse.

It can't even hold snacks and drinks like soda or spicy snacks.

Although the original owner of this body had hoarded a lot of food in her madness, she wasn't completely insane and still knew how to eat sparingly.

The consequence of being frugal with food is that I've never been full.

Yu Wanwan was hungry, so she took out a small bread roll, a sausage, a braised egg, and a bottle of mineral water.

She prepared to go outside the courtyard, taking in the large yard that temporarily belonged to her while also dealing with the problem of food and clothing.

After you finish eating, go see her six grandsons.

Unexpectedly, the door opened.

"what……"

"Grandma is out! Grandma's going to hit us!"
