The Iron-Blooded Ergou and the Landlord's Womenfolk

After the village beauty used him and tossed him aside, Li Ergou clenched half an egg and stormed into the Hu family estate! Strong enough to carry three hundred jin and sharper at reading people than any bookkeeper, this poor country boy is determined to carve out a way to survive in a mansion full of intrigue! The spurned Madam sees him as a pawn, only to find herself outmaneuvered by him. The gorgeous Second Concubine calls him crude, yet when danger strikes, she clutches his sleeve and cries, “Help me!” Even the innocent young maid secretly mends his worn-out cuffs. The steward’s nephew throws his weight around? One punch breaks his leg! A traitor covets the estate’s wealth? Li Ergou sets a trap that ruins him! From water carrier to the Hu family estate’s undisputed backbone, Li Ergou rises step by step, and all the women’s thoughts revolve around him. But when the Japanese invaders’ iron hooves reach the town, Li Ergou grabs his hunting rifle and stands atop the courtyard wall. “We used to fight over a living. Now we defend our home and our country!” He leads the people of the estate in hiding grain, carrying messages, and waging guerrilla warfare. His old romantic entanglements are all transformed into a fervent will to defend home and country! From intrigue in the mansion to battles on the front lines, Li Ergou proves with his fists and his wits that even a nobody can become a hero. In these chaotic times, it’s our turn to take charge!
