Book Description
In his previous life, Tang Laoqi was notorious in his northeastern village for being a good-for-nothing: lazy, idle, bad-tempered, and utterly irresponsible.
He personally let down three good women who had sincerely cared for him:
His first wife, Beibei, was gentle and kindhearted, yet he neglected her for years and left her to suffer one grievance after another;
His second wife, Liu Siyao, was clever and strong-willed, but gossip and his lack of ambition broke her heart;
His third wife, Bian Xiaohong, was simple and patient, silently enduring hardship without ever receiving the slightest appreciation.
He spent his whole life muddling along, with nothing but bare walls at home and everyone turning against him. He grew old in loneliness and poverty, and as he lay dying, he was left with nothing but endless regret: regret for mistreating three good women and ruining his own life.
One day, he opened his eyes and unexpectedly found himself reborn in 1980!
It was still the same rundown farmhouse. He was still buried in debt and disgraced, with people from every village for miles around talking behind his back.
And Beibei, Liu Siyao, and Bian Xiaohong were all still there, each carrying her own grievances and burdens.
The whole village was waiting for him to keep going downhill. Little did they know that the reborn Tang Laoqi had already turned over a completely new leaf.
He quit drinking and lazing around, and took on the responsibilities of a man;
Drawing on the experience of his previous life and his hard-earned hunting skills, he hunted game, foraged for mountain delicacies, and seized the opportunities of the times to build a fortune;
He stood up to greedy, rotten relatives and tore into neighbors who spread rumors, standing up for Beibei, protecting Liu Siyao, and bringing peace to Bian Xiaohong.
He owed them a little affection in his previous life, and in this one, he would repay them a hundredfold.
From then on, he farmed and hunted, made his fortune, and treasured the three women above all else in the Northeast
The story structure is very good and quite absorbing.
Nice! Come on, author!
A very nice period story with a strong sense of immersion. After rebirth, it also vividly shows how to make up for the regrets of the previous life!
