I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

A history that will haunt them for so long that seemed forever. Secrets will be revealed and exposed. Will they be able to handle it together as a family?

When freedom costs too much and happiness is hard to reach, will life turn Cammy into bitter from sweet? ********** Hearts shattered by pain and unrequited love, yearning for warmth… Souls that are grieving and heavy with sorrow, longing to reclaim what's been taken… Minds consumed by anger and wrath, seeking revenge… Bodies that are on fire, searching for a tender touch and embrace… ********** Story Excerpt: “What’s going on here?” Cammy asked the three staff members who were struggling to calm down an irate guest. “Ma’am, Mr. Cross is demanding more drinks, but his assistant specifically instructed us not to let him drink alone before leaving. We are not allowed to serve him any more drinks!” one of the staff explained. “This is what all the fuss is about? Just give him what he wants and let him pass out. Problem solved!” Cammy said, hands on her waist. “Ma’am???” the staff member replied in disbelief, while the other two stood there with their mouths agape. The previously enraged guest grinned, clearly pleased with what he just heard, his anger quickly fading away, he was furious no more. "You heard your boss—go get my drink," the guest demanded. "B-But, she’s not our boss..." one of the staff hesitated. "What would you like to order, sir?" Cammy asked the smirking guest. "You…" the man replied as he settled into the sofa without removing his gaze from Cammy. He leaned back and spread his arms along the backrest, making sure everyone could see his chiseled six-pack beneath his unbuttoned black shirt. Cammy’s eyes widened, and her heart stopped beating—or at least that’s how it felt—after hearing his bold response. "E-Excuse me, sir?" she asked, uncertain. “If I drink alone I will go for tequila. But I want my senses sharp and clear while I am in the presence of such a beautiful lady. Bring me four bottles of vodka and I also want a ‘Sex on the Beach’. How about that?” the man finally said. Cammy frowned and snapped, “Excuse me?!” “You heard me—I want ‘Sex on the Beach’,” he drawled with a mischievous grin. One of the staff quickly leaned in and whispered, “Miss Cammy, it’s a cocktail.” “Oh!” she blurted, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she realized her mistake. “Y-Yes, sir…” “Call me sir one more time and I will seal that mouth of yours with mine! Do it again unless you really want me to kiss you. Do you want to have a taste of me?” ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023
