In his previous life, Lu Jianghai was the very picture of a man who blindly obeyed his parents and endlessly propped up his younger brother.
To keep his brother living it up in the city, he forced his pregnant wife to work in the fields for work points. He watched helplessly as his own parents sold off all eight of his daughters for food. In the end, his wife was worked to death in despair, taking both herself and their unborn child with her!
Only after his parents had drained his last drop of blood, thrown him out, and left him to freeze to death on a snowy street did he finally come to his senses!
Reborn into his former life, he returns to that snowbound winter of 1960.
When his biased parents try to drag away his eldest daughter to trade her for five jin of cornmeal, Lu Jianghai completely loses it!
He flips the table, beats up his younger brother, and grabs a cleaver, forcing the village chief to write up a document dividing the family!
“To hell with this Lu family. I'm done with you!”
He leaves with his wife and daughters, taking nothing, and moves into a ruined cave dwelling deep in the mountains.
The whole village laughs at him, saying he's lost his mind and that nine mouths will starve to death in the mountains.
But then Lu Jianghai awakens the Mountain God Space, with a thousand mu of spiritual spring water and black soil at his left hand, and expert hunting skills at his right.
He catches wild boars, raids bear dens, works the black market, and trades supplies!
While his awful parents and brother are still fighting over a bite of tree bark, Lu Jianghai is serving braised pork at every meal to his eight daughters and dressing his lovely wife in fine dacron, on his way to becoming the richest man of the era!
His awful family, starving and desperate, kneels outside the Lu family's grand villa and begs for forgiveness.
Lu Jianghai picks up a basin of foot-washing water and splashes it down on them. “Get lost! Don't dirty the new tiles I just laid!”
