Reborn in 1982: I Sent My Wife to University

He is reborn on the very day he tore up his wife’s university admission letter.

In his previous life, he drove Ye Qinghe away and used the recipes she left behind to grow a roadside stall into a nationwide chain.

But only after she died did he realize that what he had destroyed was not just an admission letter, but the life she should have had.

Given another chance, He Dayong snatches the scissors away in front of everyone and protects the admission letter.

His mother calls him a wastrel, the neighbors laugh and call him a gambler, and creditors come demanding to take her tuition in repayment of his gambling debts.

He sells the watch his father left behind and pushes a handcart to take his daughter to the hospital.

When he has no money for tuition, he buys pig offal, braises pig ears and sells intestines, earning the money back pot by pot.

With seventy-two yuan in gambling debts, he spends the night making meat-sauce flatbreads, then squeezes into the train station before dawn to grab customers.

Everyone laughs that all he knows how to do is gamble.

But with hands stained by brine, he carves out a path to university for his wife through sheer determination.

Yet before Ye Qinghe leaves, a line appears on the letter, visible only to him:

“If I weren’t married, would I have chosen Sun Zhicheng?”

This time, he may be able to keep her by his side, but that doesn’t mean he can keep her heart...
