Sixty-year-old Liu Yapeng, an old hunter in Xing'an Mountains, died in a broken house on his birthday.
When he opened his eyes again, he returned to 1984 - the wedding night between himself and Wang Hongxing.
The woman in front of him was shy and weak, but he knew that she was carrying someone else's bastard for two months;
The father-in-law outside the door, Wang Daqing, is the deputy director of the commune's revolutionary committee. He is waiting for him, the "successor son-in-law," to get married so that he can use his shotgun and strength to support the Wang family.
In his previous life, he believed it.
I believed Wang Hongxing's tears and Wang Daqing's nonsense about "treating you as my own son".
The game he brought fed the Wang family, and the money from selling skins helped his three brothers-in-law marry. When he got injured from exhaustion, it was Li Xiaobei, the neighbor he had always ignored, who stole the family's money to buy food and bought him life-saving medicine.
He didn't learn the truth until he froze to death alone.
In this life, Liu Yapeng smiled.
That night, he turned the carefully disguised "Luo Hong" into a real miscarriage.
The next day, he "considerately" took Wang Hongxing to the health center and asked the doctor to announce in public that she had miscarried after two months of pregnancy.
On the third day, three letters of complaint written by his left hand were sent to the door of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, the regional newspaper and the father of the "bastard father" - Deputy Director Li of the County Revolutionary Committee.
The storm swept through Red Star Commune in an instant.
Wang Daqing Yin Dang was imprisoned, and the Wang family tree fell and the hozens dispersed.
Liu Yapeng took back the betrothal gift, picked up the invasion knife and water-linked shotgun left by his grandfather, and plunged into the Xing'an Mountains where the wind and snow were howling.
