A Peaceful Life in the Countryside

[Period Novel] [Fictional Setting] [Farming]

Grandpa was a teacher, but every day he did nothing but write IOUs and beat his wife. At least Second Uncle’s family could pay off the debts.

My younger uncle made a success of himself after completing his studies, all thanks to making his own sister work as a servant, then selling her to a man eight years her senior to be his wife. He even got rich off the blood of Second Uncle’s family.

Whenever my eldest aunt returned to her parents’ home, she did nothing but complain that her own household was poor. Grandma tightened the belts of Second Uncle’s daughters so she could save food for her own daughter.

A distant cousin of Grandma’s, eight generations removed, moved her whole family into Second Uncle’s home and lorded it over everyone like an emperor.

Only Third Uncle was clever. He left home early to become a live-in son-in-law, since Second Uncle was still there to support the family anyway.

See how, after Linglong is reborn, she changes her parents so they don’t become the pitiful Second Uncle’s family.
