80: From the Start, I Cut Ties with My Family and Make a Fortune with My Pregnant Wife

[reborn + cutting ties with family + getting rich + doting on his wife + bitter regret]

In his previous life, Lu Xuan was the biggest pushover for miles around. In the name of filial piety, he gave his iron rice bowl job to his younger brother, gave him his new house, and let his parents drain every last drop of blood from him like an old workhorse. But before he died, all he got from his mother was a scornful remark: "You couldn't even pick a better time to die! Now you've delayed your brother's wedding!"

He opens his eyes again and finds himself back in 1981. His parents are pressuring him to hand over a recruitment form for the steel mill, all to benefit his useless younger brother.

Lu Xuan laughs and flips the table right then and there. "Fine! He can have the job, but I have one condition: we're cutting ties, and I'm leaving with nothing!"

His parents and brother laugh at his foolishness, certain that he and his pregnant wife will starve within three days. They wait for him to get on his knees and beg for mercy.

But what reaches them instead is news that Lu Xuan has turned his fate around!

Only Lu Xuan knows that in the gold-rush 1980s, technical skills are the real currency!

Starting with the first radio he repairs at a junkyard, he sells goods from a street stall, opens an electronics shop, and builds a business empire!

When Lu Xuan has his arm around his lovely wife, drives a Santana, and becomes the richest man in town:

His brother, who stole his job, ends up in prison for embezzlement, while his bloodsucking parents spend their days picking through trash in the cold wind.

They kneel in tears at the entrance to his villa. "Son, we were wrong. Please give us something to eat!"

Lu Xuan coldly shuts the gate. "Get lost. We cut ties a long time ago."
