[Historical era + farming + heiress from a capitalist family + getting rich + one heroine + sweet romance]
Chen Yang woke up to find himself transmigrated into a hapless educated youth in the Northeast countryside in 1975, publicly dumped by his fiancée!
His fiancée had run off with a city worker, and the whole village had gathered to laugh at him. A humiliating scene, upgraded!
Chen Yang tore up the breakup letter and flung the pieces in the cheating couple's faces. “May the bitch and the dog stay together forever!”
Then he turned, scooped up Lin Wanqiu, a delicate heiress from a capitalist family who had fainted by the roadside, and announced over the whole village's protests, “I'm marrying her!”
The young lady couldn't lift a finger, and her family background was bad too? The villagers berated him for ruining his future, waiting for a laugh.
Chen Yang grinned. “You ordinary fools don't know a thing!”
From the start, he had nothing but a stick, and all his prey depended on poking! He hunted rabbits in the mountains and caught fish in the water, enjoying meat at every meal!
He improved the soil to grow medicinal herbs and quietly started side businesses, raking in money and ration coupons!
He turned a shabby house into a warm home and kept his lovely wife glowing with health. Their sweet life made the whole village green with envy!
Just as life was getting better and better, a mysterious cadre from the capital suddenly showed up, always sneaking off to see his wife.
Chen Yang stepped in front of her, eyes wary. “Who are you, buddy? What do you want?”
Then the man revealed eyes and brows that looked just like his wife's...
Chen Yang: ??? Wait, this isn't how the story's supposed to go! Wasn't this supposed to be a sweet farming romance about getting rich and raising kids? What was this hidden big-shot father-in-law plot?!
When I read Chapter 8, it was not sweet at all. I felt that the male protagonist had no feelings for the female protagonist at all.
