In his previous life, Chen Shanhe spent his whole life blindly obeying his family.
He watched his mother and third younger brother sell off four of his daughters. Of the others, three either died or went missing. They drove his kindhearted wife to her death, and even his eldest sister, who loved him most, was married off to an old widower in exchange for his betrothal gifts and tortured to death!
Only after he was abandoned and froze to death on the street did he realize he was nothing but a tool for his mother and younger brothers to bleed dry!
When he opens his eyes again, it’s the snowy winter of 1980, and his daughters are crying their hearts out.
This time, to hell with filial duty! To hell with the idea that an older brother is as good as a father!
He grabs his double-barreled hunting rifle and presses the muzzle right against his own brother’s forehead!
One gunshot is enough to scare his wicked mother into wetting herself, cripple the human trafficker, and settle the family split once and for all!
Everyone thinks Chen Shanhe will let his wife and daughters starve to death in the snow.
But who could have guessed he’d have heaven’s help!
[White intelligence: In the sewer behind the health clinic, there’s a family heirloom tobacco pipe made of golden-thread nanmu wood, lost by the chief surgeon.]
[Green intelligence: A century-old ginseng has appeared beneath a boulder on the back mountain.]
[Blue intelligence: A position at the coal plant will soon open up, bringing access to coal rations.]
[Gold intelligence: In five days, a high-ranking official will be in danger aboard a train.]
With his hunting rifle in hand, Chen Shanhe heads into the mountains to dig up ginseng, hunt wild boar, collect antiques, go into business, and find his daughters. Together with the people he loves, he builds a thriving life.
The awful relatives who once looked down on him watch enviously as he puts up a red-brick villa and buys a car.
His mother and brothers kneel at the door, begging for forgiveness. “Shanhe, I’m your mother! Please, give us something to eat!”
Chen Shanhe tosses them a bone and puts his arms around his well-fed wife and daughters. “That’s your share!”
The plot holes you dug in this book are too deep; readers simply can't climb out. The wife gave birth to six children in a row, and the mother and brothers managed to survive despite their machinations. The author is truly a genius!
