[Period setting + rebirth + family life + bringing parents to the city + making a fortune]
Reborn in 1985, fifteen-year-old Jiang Yuan woke up with a high fever.
In his previous life, his mother’s fingers were cracked by the cold and her body was emaciated, yet she single-handedly kept their little family going.
His father had spent years working like an ox for the extended family, while the elders played favorites and took whatever they wanted from him as if it were their due.
When Jiang Yuan’s older sister Jiang Ying was seventeen, his step-grandmother sold her to a blind old butcher. Her bride price was six hundred yuan, and the wretched old woman pocketed four hundred.
Less than five years after his sister married, she was gone from their lives!
Every cent of his father’s allowance was seized by his step-grandmother and spent on the four children she had given birth to!
His mother, an educated youth from the city, had lived in poverty all her life and never made it back to her hometown. When she died, all she had was a tattered mat to wrap her in!
Jiang Yuan hated his step-grandmother for her cruelty and his three uncles for helping her. Most of all, he hated that he had been too young to do anything but watch his sister being dragged away!
When he opened his eyes again, his fever was gone, and outside the door his step-grandmother was glaring as she demanded that his mother hand someone over!
Jiang Weiqiang and his two brothers had already rolled up their sleeves and were coming to drag his sister away!
In this life, Jiang Yuan would not only protect his eldest sister, but also make sure his father stopped being a workhorse and devoted himself wholeheartedly to their own family!
They were cutting ties. First, he’d make that pack of bloodsuckers cough up every cent they’d stolen, with interest!
Then he’d take his family to the city, get his parents stable jobs, make their little household prosperous, and change the lives of his eldest sister and younger siblings!
Jiang Yuan moved step by step, relying on his intelligence and talent to build up even greater capital in this great new era!
This makes me laugh to death, why couldn't we repay the public opinion in that era? There are obviously so many reasons why I am a useless person after rebirth?
