[Sweet farming romance + face-slapping after a broken engagement + rugged live-in son-in-law + making a fortune from the sea]
Lu Shizhu narrowly escapes death on the battlefield and returns home, only to find that his mother has been sold off by his scumbag father, the family property has been seized, and he himself has been thrown out.
In a fit of rage, he digs up the Lu family's ancestral graves and is driven out of the village. After finding his mother, the two decide to go to another town and seek help from a friend of his.
Xu Qingmai of Xiushan Village had been promised in marriage as a child to Xue Ren. After reading a few books, he got full of himself. Before even passing the county-level examinations, he turned around and broke off the engagement, humiliating the Xu family in public and trying to swallow up their property.
Xu Qingmai's parents felt for their daughter and made the decision on the spot: they would find a new live-in son-in-law! They wanted nothing to do with a heartless ingrate!
While helping his friend escort his bride, Lu Shizhu fell in love with Qingmai at first sight. He promptly asked a matchmaker to visit the Xu family and volunteered to become their live-in son-in-law.
Xu's father asked about his background. Lu Shizhu answered honestly: “I've only got my mother left. I dug up my ancestral graves and got driven out, and I'm not much of a reader.”
Xu's parents' eyes lit up. “Not being able to read makes him all the more dependable. Looking after his mother shows he's kind, loyal, and filial, and he's strong enough to provide for a family. He's the one!”
Later, when the village is struck by disaster, this rugged man keeps the whole family afloat by farming, gathering seafood, and hunting, and builds them a thriving life from the ground up.
Let's give it a five-star rating. It was not easy to create. The deaths of Lu's mother and Xu Ying's parents were a bit difficult to deal with, but other plots were good. That County Magistrate Zhou is really good, a rare good official.
This is your new book!! You're still updating, even though it's Chinese New Year, at least update once a day [rolls eyes], at least so that your favorite book friends won't chase after you and run out of content!!
It was written with laughter and tears. I have finished reading it.
It's very good, very comfortable, not verbose, and it doesn't have any top quality or white lotus flowers. Anyway, the annoying ones are not very satisfactory. I recommend it to read.
I like this kind of life where family life is short and water flows slowly.
It's so beautiful. I'm uneducated and can only say it's beautiful.
