Lin Mu arrives in 1960 and opens his eyes to find his stepmother has locked him in the woodshed.
He hasn’t eaten for two days, his whole body is burning with fever, and he’s on the verge of death.
His stepmother stands outside the door and sneers, “I didn’t give birth to him. If he starves to death, that’s none of my concern.”
His cousin kicks the door open. “Are you dead yet? If not, say something!”
Just as everyone waits for him to draw his last breath
A ding sounds in his mind.
Immortal Estate Space, activation successful.
One mu of spirit farmland, irrigated by a spirit spring, grows ten days’ worth of crops in one hour.
From then on, while everyone else chews tree bark, he eats big, fluffy steamed buns. While they drink cold water, he drinks spirit spring water. While they starve until they’re gaunt, he stocks enough food to feed the entire courtyard for three years!
But there’s a problem: the courtyard is full of hungry wolves.
Jia Zhangshi eyes his rice jar every day. Yi Zhonghai uses the excuse of “courtyard-wide mutual aid” to try to take his grain, while Xu Damao secretly schemes to steal his procurement job.
Even his stepmother regrets her decision and shows up with his cousin. “The family separation doesn’t count. You have to support us in our old age!”
Lin Mu smiles.
With the space at my command and spirit farmland in my possession, who dares oppose me?
Jia Zhangshi wants to take advantage of him? A karmic mission is in order, making her lose face in front of the whole courtyard at a general meeting.
Yi Zhonghai tries to guilt-trip him? Sorry, the System has recorded every scheme of yours, and it’ll return the consequences tenfold.
Xu Damao wants his job? He exposes Xu Damao’s secrets and sends him packing from the steel mill in disgrace.
His stepmother kneels and begs to reconcile? In front of the entire alley, Lin Mu says, “Sign here and seal it. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
Later, the people of the courtyard discover a shocking secret
