The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 1

(Please read the ending notes!)

Li Jin’s head was dizzy, but very quickly, it seemed that his churning stomach woke him up completely.

“Urgh…” [tl: retching sound, he’s vomiting]

After the food and drink had been emptied out of his stomach, he felt his entire body become much more comfortable.

But the smell…it was really bad.

Where is this?

Li Jin suspected that he was dreaming, he just got off work and was ready to go home, how could he–

That’s right, his car was hit by a big truck!

But there was no pain in the body other than the emptiness and weakness from the hangover….

Before he could think clearly, a gruff voice rang out.

“Hey, my cart! Li Jin! Your wife is giving birth, Laozi used the strength of nine cows and two tigers to bring you back from the tavern and you vomit right on my ox cart!” [tl: I think most of you know what laozi means, but if you don’t, it’s an arrogant and somewhat disrespectful way to refer to yourself (usually exclusive to men). Literally means “old one”. “Nine cows and two tigers” means to expend great effort or strength. Also the word wife(媳妇儿 xí fu’er) can also mean daughter-in-law]

Huh?

The bumps beneath him and the unpleasant smells around him reminded him of what had just happened.

The man in front of his eyes was tall and strong, but his face had a waxy yellow color that lacked nutrition.

Li Jin was extremely puzzled, who was this person? What is he talking about?

“You really are good, Li Jin, I understand it now! Gambling and drinking are more important than your wife and children, right? Your wife is the one…” [tl: when he says ‘you are really good’, he’s being sarcastic. It’s like saying, ‘you really are something, Li Jin’]

The man paused, looked at the drunken Li Jin in front of him with pity, and added, “Although he is ‘that’, the more he is that kind of person, the more he has to walk around death’s door when giving birth, but that is still the wife that you carried through your door, it is really not justified not to be around at this time.”

[tl: this was so confusing to me tbh, so I put a massive tl note at the bottom of the chapter explaining it. I’m going to pretend that everyone has very little knowledge of Chinese culture/language so if it’s redundant to you, feel free to skip.]

Li Jin subconsciously pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, but there was nothing. His eyesight?!

This is not his body!

As for the big man’s words ‘your wife is a that’, he didn’t even hear it.

Li Jin just sat up and leaned against the other side of the cattle cart because of this huge blow, and after repeatedly pinching himself to make sure this wasn’t a dream, he felt dazed instead.

He was certain he wasn’t able to escape when that truck ran over him, and as to why he was in this place now, well, maybe it’s because this man called Li Jin died of a hangover. So by chance, he’s now Li Jin.

Although he still is not able to get over it, after all, the body that lived for twenty-nine years perished, right now he became this Li Jin of an unknown age.

Still, it’s good to be alive.

He originally had no worries, and now that he had a few more decades of life left, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to refuse. [tl: “no worries” can also be interpreted as “nothing left to lose” or “nothing holding him back”]
