Reborn in 1980: From the Start, Half a Bag of Rice Bought Me a Lovely Wife

In his previous life, Zhang Zheng forced his wife Ruan Wenxiu, the daughter of a so-called “capitalist,” to cut ties with him so he could save himself. He let her suffer every humiliation and freeze to death on the street. Only on the brink of death did he learn that she had chewed tree bark for half a month just to save him a bite of cornbread!

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the bitter winter of 1980. Seeing Ruan Wenxiu collapsed with hunger in a cornfield, clutching his trouser leg in despair, Zhang Zheng’s eyes reddened. Without hesitation, he pressed half a bag of precious white rice into her arms. “Marry me. From now on, I’ll work myself to the bone to provide for you!”

The villagers laughed at him for marrying a burden, saying he was destined to be poor for the rest of his life.

Zhang Zheng sneered and headed into the Changbai Mountains to hunt wild boars and dig for ginseng, building his first nest egg. Then, riding the wave of the times, he opened factories, took on village bullies, and became a cross-border trader, crushing his rivals at every turn!

Years later, when his old enemies knelt and begged for mercy, the fallen heiress whom the whole village had once looked down on had become the most honored billionaire’s wife in the world.
