Period: Now That I'm Reborn, Who'd Still Want to Be a Deadbeat Dad?

Chen Jian opened his eyes and found himself back in 1980. In his previous life, he was lazy, idle, and the sort of man even a dog would shake its head at. Worst of all, he failed to be a proper father to his five children, leaving them with miserable fates. His eldest daughter, Chen Aiying, was married off by him for five hundred yuan to a fool. She died even before her father. His second son, Chen Jianguo, had a chance to marry the daughter of an agricultural academician and change his fate, but Chen Jian broke them up. His third son, Chen Jianjun, picked up a habit of stealing chickens and dogs because Chen Jian never disciplined him. In the end, he spent his entire life behind bars, lamenting his lot. His fourth son, Chen Jianmin, was the promising one. He got into Yanjing University, but Chen Jian gambled away his tuition money. His youngest daughter, Chen Ailian, married a drifter because of her father’s irresponsibility. Unable to bear a son, she died of grief. Given another chance at life, Chen Jian no longer wants to be a lousy father. He doesn’t want his children to abandon him, hate and despise him, or cut ties with him. In this life, he will not only shoulder his responsibilities as a father, but also find good partners for his children and help them build happy, prosperous lives.
