Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man

Su Wen read a popular period novel about a heroic man who was tough, gave women a sense of security, and was also somewhat cunning and flirty. He was exactly the kind of man she liked. Hence, she paid one million in subscription fees and transmigrated as the male lead's terrible ex-wife. In the novel, the original host was someone who waited at home for love to come knocking on the door. Although she never thought about starting a family, she was a hopeless romantic. Even when the male lead, Jin Datui, eventually showed up, she was persuaded by the sly female lead to fall for a jerk in the nearby village. After Su Wen transmigrated into the novel, she clung to Jin Datui. She worked hard to go from rags to riches. In the end, her younger sisters all became jealous. They cried about wanting to meet a man by waiting at home, just like she did. They even claimed they would name their children with her surname if they had children. Hence, Su Wen began choosing suitable husbands for her sisters. All the candidates were handsome, talented, and well-built. They all came from influential families too. It was so hard to choose! A certain someone, who felt neglected in the corner, pinned her against the door. "Are they as handsome as I am? Are they as well-built as I am? Are their families as influential as mine?" "But... They're my sisters' potential husbands," Su Wen said. "I belong to you. You can have my savings and even my life," he replied. Su Wen woke up the next day to find twenty bank books by her side. She became deep in thought...

Scarce Resources

Su Wen carefully put the special ticket into her pocket the next day and went to the county town with Su Qing. It was much faster riding a bicycle there. They made a beeline for the mall as soon as they arrived.

It seemed they had arrived in the nick of time. The store selling sewing machines only had one left in stock.

Initially, the salesperson refused to sell it to them. The whole country was experiencing a shortage of sewing machines. On the black market, sewing machines were going for over 20 times their original price.

Inflation was the result of scarcity.

In the city, men would buy bicycles while women, especially married women, would purchase sewing machines. It was said that the shortage was so bad that no one could buy sewing machines in the big cities, even if they could afford them. The store still had a sewing machine because no one in town could afford it. This was the same situation many other stores in the countryside were facing.
