[Mountain foraging] [Repentance and comeback] [Enhanced sense of smell] [Pocket dimension]
“Li Shanfeng, you call yourself a Northeastern man? What kind of man ties up his own wife on the kang and hands her over to another guy?”
Li Shanfeng, a vagrant who had married into his wife’s family, returned to 1978. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife bound hand and foot with hemp rope, about to be handed over to the village bully to settle a debt.
In his previous life, he gambled, drank, and beat women, and his second uncle had easily manipulated him.
He had indirectly caused his wife’s death, leaving the Wang family without an heir. His father-in-law had died of anger by the well, and his sister-in-law had been sold into the mountains...
This time, he swore to change his ways and make things right for the whole family!
“I’m a grown man, not some animal. Only a beast would use his wife to pay off a debt!”
“Try laying a finger on my wife, and I’ll break your wrist, Li Hu! I’ll smash all three of your legs!”
As for running short of money or meat from now on? Not a chance!
Heaven had given him an enhanced sense of smell and a storage space.
His nose was even sharper than a dog’s. The forests of the Northeast were full of treasures: golden pheasants, frogs, roe deer, and wild deer. Head up the mountain and you could practically pick meat off the ground!
This time, he would make sure the whole family lived well. Meat at every meal was just the beginning. With the tide of reform and opening-up sweeping in, getting rich was only a matter of time...
Well written, it has a 1970s feel to it.
