Civil engineer Jiang Qiao had an accident at the construction site. When he opened his eyes, he was transported into the ancient novel "Jin Zhi Mou".
She became the cannon fodder original wife in the book who was not even given a name and only said in half a line that she "died of illness in a refugee camp".
Her husband, Xie Heng, was fifteen years old, the son of a guilty minister, and the future feared Living King of Hell. Three years later, he crawled back from exile, slaughtered his entire family, and was finally executed by Ling Chi. And her first wife, according to the fate in the book, would not survive the first winter.
When he woke up, his family was destitute: half a cornbread, forty cents, a sick mother-in-law, a five-year-old sister, and a shabby house with enough air leakage to grow snow.
Jiang Qiao counted the accounts with his fingers: first build the kang, then make coal cakes, and set up a stall to sell hot soup cakes. What happened to the penal colony? What's wrong with being poor? She is an engineer, so she is still afraid of this?
But her little husband looked at her more and more wrong every day.
"What are you planning?"
"I want you to live and this family to stay together."
"That's all?"
"..."
Jiang Qiao looked down at his clenched fists and then at the red tips of his ears.
"... That's it."
