The Protagonist Is Reborn and Finds Bargains in Antiques
I'm looking for a novel. At the beginning, the protagonist collects scrap and has four brothers. The eldest goes to prison, one sets up a street stall, and one follows the protagonist. After the eldest is released, he encounters his enemy again and is beaten half to death. The protagonist takes the traditional betrothal gifts to ask someone for help. I don't remember much of what happens afterward.

Very good, really good
This book definitely deserves a higher rating than 7.6; It's much better than those wish-fulfillment novels that get 9.2 Or lower. First, it's relatively close to the actual social conditions of the time; second, the marital relationships between men and women are realistic—those with jobs look down on those without, and those with urban residency look down on those with rural residency.
The story fits the situation at the time; I also once picked up a tattered piece of plastic film and went to the rural scrap collector to exchange it for popcorn sticks.
It's really beautiful and captivating! 👍
They keep up with the realities of social interaction, but not with the essential aspects of human life. We are, after all, ordinary people who eat grains.
The author worked hard; this is a truly heartfelt novel. It depicts both the darkness and the righteousness of society. I have many feelings, but I can't put them into words. Only those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life can truly understand...
It's pretty good, but the ending felt a bit rushed. Some of the villains were too stereotypical, and the conflicts felt a bit forced. It was always fraught with danger, but overall it was decent and original. I liked the part about antiques and jade, starting with scavenging. However, there was too much commercial content later on. There are too few good books by Tomato (the author), so I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. I hope the author continues to improve!
Overall, it's a pretty good book. Although I was drawn in by the "collecting junk" part, and there were basically no more treasure hunts later on, it was still quite enjoyable. The characters have both good and bad traits. I don't really like how the protagonist sometimes isn't "tough" enough on his relatives and family.
There are no words of praise, I can only say that it suits my taste. I stayed up for several nights in a row, and as a result, it seriously affected my work during the day. I want to say to the author, I hate you!
This is a rare gem among period dramas. It's also more realistic. The only downside is that the later parts are so large that they feel a bit chaotic. As a 20-year veteran reader who barely skipped any chapters, I still recommend it.
