Reborn in 1980: From Finding a Leaky Bowl to Becoming a Tycoon

In his previous life, Zhou Hua had no System and knew nothing about antiques.

On March 8, 1980, his uncle Zhou Degui tricked Zhou Hua's father into signing a guarantee agreement, claiming they would "reopen the Qingshan Ancient Kiln as partners."

In reality, the kiln had already piled up enormous debts.

Zhou Degui took the money and ran, leaving Zhou Guodong saddled with all the debt.

To pay it off, the Zhou family sold their ancestral home and land.

Zhou Guodong was injured while working at a quarry and left disabled. He died of illness a few years later.

His mother, Li Xiulian, fell ill from overwork but could not afford treatment.

His younger sister, Zhou Xiaoyan, was forced to drop out of school. She later married a short-tempered man and suffered for half her life.

Zhou Hua left home and struggled his way up from laborer to junkyard apprentice, eventually becoming an antique restoration expert. By the time he finally uncovered the truth, his parents were gone, and he had lost contact with his sister.

Only on his deathbed did he learn that the chipped bowl the Zhou family had sold was actually a priceless masterpiece of Qianlong-era folk kiln porcelain.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the day his father signed the guarantee agreement.

The agreement lay on the table.

His uncle stood outside, urging them to hurry.

The chipped bowl everyone in the Zhou family despised sat beside the agreement.
