Reborn in the 1970s: I Get the Whole Village in on the Rat Race

[Reborn]+ [Period]+ [One Female Lead]+ [System]+ [Building Wealth]

Reborn in 1976, Li Weijun is publicly humiliated at his engagement banquet when his greedy future mother-in-law slams the table and declares, “Want to marry my daughter? Pay more!”

He immediately slaps himself. Not because he’s a coward, but to wake up the fool he was in his previous life!

This time, he refuses to be a sucker who puts up with everything!

“Anyone who wants this engagement can have it. I’m done!”

[Ding! Comeback System activated!]

[Herb Identification] Lets him spot treasures in the mountains at a glance. [Hunting Expertise] Helps him catch rare game.

He quickly earns his first fortune and leads his whole family into sideline businesses, turning their lives into a thriving success.

But Li Weijun isn’t content to get rich alone when his neighbors are so honest and hardworking.

“Neighbors, if you want to eat your fill and stay warm, come work with me!”

From a medicinal herb cooperative to a mountain-goods processing workshop, from household side businesses to a village-run factory, he gets the entire production team fired up, and life keeps getting better.

His greedy ex-fiancée regrets everything, while his malicious future brother-in-law keeps causing trouble. One quick report, and he turns them into public enemies of the whole village!

He also helps a beautiful young intellectual sent to the countryside who dreams of taking the college entrance exam. Knowledge changes her fate, and she puts her name on his family’s household register.

Years later, when a reporter asks business mogul Li Weijun the secret to his success, he puts an arm around his professor wife and says with a smug grin:

“Nothing special. It all started when I called off that engagement, and somehow I ended up getting the whole village caught up in the hustle!”
