Reborn in the 70s Famine: Dredging Canals to Change My Family's Fate

In her past life, Lin Wan watched her parents sell her younger brother for grain and her little sister die in her arms after gnawing on tree bark from hunger, dying with hatred. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in a small mountain village in 1972, just as the famine began! She knew well that the village would have no harvest next year due to lack of irrigation water. So she mustered up the courage to propose dredging a canal to divert mountain spring water to Village Chief Wang, only to be scolded: "A girl is messing around!" Neighbors gossiped that she "was crazy for fame"; even her mother advised her: "Don't cause trouble." Lin Wan clenched her teeth, drew the water conservancy blueprints from her past life on the earthen wall, led her siblings to pick up stones to build the canal foundation during the day, and described "eating white rice every meal in the future" to her family at night. Finally, they diverted mountain spring water before the summer flood—when the first rice seedling sprouted, her little sister rushed into her arms holding a tomato, and her father cried while holding her hand: "Our Wanwan saved our family!" She finally turned the regret of her past life into the reunion of this life.
