My Grievance Meter Is Maxed Out, and My Stall Is Unbeatable

In the bustling heart of Jiangzhou, Chen Dayong is a divorced father struggling to make ends meet, selling braised snacks at the market while raising his child alone.

His ex-wife has vanished, leaving him and his daughter to depend on each other. The neighbors look down on him, and he is pushed around at every turn. His life is so miserable he can hardly stand it.

Then one day, whenever he is humiliated, five yuan appears in his pocket, accompanied by a “ding” in his mind.

He unexpectedly gains a golden finger: every slight he suffers can be exchanged for real money.

When people insult him, he earns. When they pick on him, he saves. The more grievances he swallows, the richer he gets.

While everyone else is still worrying about making ends meet, he builds his fortune on all that misery, and his stall grows more popular by the day.

From a walk-up apartment to becoming the night market’s top vendor, he goes from being looked down on to earning the whole street’s respectful greeting: “Boss Chen.”

In this down-to-earth world, who says an ordinary person can’t turn things around against the odds?
