Reborn in 1982, with beautiful countryside all around, Lin Jianshe begins a new life of farming in the village. While others stockpile goods, use foreknowledge, or cozy up to powerful people, all Lin Jianshe has are his own two hands and a System that recognizes only the work he does himself.
His parents favor his younger brother, treating Lin Jianshe like a beast of burden and even planning to trade him for a bride price to support the younger son. Relatives show up to freeload meals, lazybones sneak into his fields at night to steal vegetables, and a middleman from town offers fifty yuan for his farming formula. When Lin refuses, the man files a report, blocks his sales routes, and tears down his greenhouse. Every move is vicious.
Lin Jianshe has one thing to say: No one's freeloading off me.
Work gets paid, and pay is based on effort. Anyone who tries to take advantage of him gets face-slapping right to their face. He improves his soil and fertilizer, builds greenhouses, and raises out-of-season seedlings. Even the agricultural station chief comes to see him in person. While the whole village loses its harvest, he's the only one who brings in a crop. Heaven rewards hard work, and every drop of his sweat counts.
Watch this young man who failed the exams push back against the freeloaders, the envious, and the schemers, one by one.
