[Period Setting + Rebirth + Raising Kids + Research]
In his previous life, Lin Guishan favored sons over daughters. For the sake of the younger boy his second wife bore him, he drove his most promising eldest daughter to her death.
In his old age, his second wife and younger son joined forces to throw him out. He froze to death by the wall on New Year's Eve, and only then realized what a bunch of ungrateful wretches the people he'd treated sincerely for most of his life really were!
When he opens his eyes again, he is back in 1980.
The eldest daughter his former wife left him is only ten. The tragedy hasn't happened yet. Right now, she is peering at him timidly from behind her grandmother, her big eyes brimming with tears.
Belated remorse fills Lin Guishan's heart.
“Raise sons to support you in old age”? What a load of nonsense!
In this new life, he has only one goal: to make sure his daughter lives a safe and happy life!
His daughter wants to study? Then study!
The university she couldn't attend in her previous life? She'll go!
He'll sell everything he owns before letting his daughter worry about tuition!
Someone in the village laughs at him for working himself to the bone to put a worthless girl through school.
Lin Guishan punches him straight away. “I want to, so what? Did you pay for it? You can look down on me for sending my daughter to school, but don't you dare call her worthless! Understand, you little bastard?”
Years later, his daughter's name appears on the list of the youngest researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, causing a sensation across the surrounding villages.
The people who once mocked him are dumbfounded.
And as Lin Guishan watches his daughter standing on the national awards platform, he laughs until tears stream down his face.
Now this is what bringing honor to the family means!
