I Was Butchering Pigs for Years—Now They Say I’m a Rich Heiress!

Su Miaomiao is a transmigrator who lived eighteen years as the adopted daughter of a state-owned restaurant butcher. She possesses a spatial ability from her past life as an elite operative, allowing her to store vast quantities of supplies in a timeless dimension. Her quiet life is shattered when an inspection team arrives to identify her as the biological daughter of the Huo family, a high-ranking military household recently purged and sentenced to reform-through-labor in the remote, freezing region of Mo City. The Huo family had raised a different girl, Huo Lingxiu, believing her to be their lost daughter. Upon learning the truth, Huo Lingxiu attempts to shift the punishment onto Su Miaomiao, but Su Miaomiao outmaneuvers her by exposing that all of Huo Lingxiu’s wealth and status were purchased with the Huo family’s money, forcing her to return the gold and cash or face association with the disgraced family.

The Huo family, comprising eight members across three generations, is forced to leave their comfortable life in the capital. Before departing, Su Miaomiao secretly visits the local black market, selling the valuable gifts given to her by her new relatives to raise capital. She uses the funds to purchase thousands of yuan worth of essential supplies, including rice, flour, meat, and winter clothing, which she stores in her spatial dimension to ensure her family’s survival in the harsh countryside. The journey is grueling, involving a two-day train ride in crowded conditions with inadequate food, but Su Miaomiao maintains her composure, observing the genuine concern her new family members show for one another.

Upon arriving in Shimatou Village, the Huo family is assigned a dilapidated cowshed with bare walls and straw bedding. The village is impoverished, with residents suffering from malnutrition and poor living conditions. Despite the despair of her parents, Su Miaomiao remains pragmatic and calm. On her second day, she encounters a local child, Goudan, who has suffered a catastrophic eye injury from a marble. The village barefoot doctor determines the injury is too severe for local treatment and that the county hospital lacks the surgical expertise to save the eye. Refusing to accept the death sentence, Su Miaomiao takes charge, transporting the boy to the county hospital and performing a complex surgery herself with a fifty percent chance of success.

The surgery is a triumph. Su Miaomiao successfully removes the marble and saves Goudan’s life, earning the gratitude of the village chief, Wang Hongjie, and the admiration of the county doctor. The doctor offers her a position at the hospital, but Su Miaomiao declines, citing her status as a re-education target. However, her actions change the village’s perception of the Huo family. Village Chief Wang instructs his people to protect the newcomers and not to bully them. Su Miaomiao continues to secretly provide her family with high-quality food and supplies from her spatial dimension, masking her generosity by purchasing small amounts of goods from the local cooperative to maintain appearances. As she integrates into this new life, she balances her hidden capabilities with the harsh realities of the era, preparing to navigate the political and social challenges ahead while protecting her newfound family.
