[Transmigrated in the Womb + Everyday Rural Life + Imperial Exams + Sibling Bonds + Building Wealth]
Transmigrated into ancient times before he was born, Zhou Xiaozhou becomes the youngest son in a poor farming family.
He has three loving older sisters, and an entire extended family waiting for them to support their cousin’s studies.
He thinks he can spend this life as a little sweetheart, but when he’s four and a half, his eldest aunt plans to sell his fifteen-year-old eldest sister into six years of hard labor at an embroidery shop for four taels of silver!
Zhou Xiaozhou is furious!
He clings to his eldest sister’s leg and points out the trick in the contract in front of everyone, winning her freedom back by sheer force.
But his family is so poor they can barely afford to eat, and his three sisters can’t even decide their own futures.
What should they do?
First earn money, then study!
His eldest sister is good with numbers, so he’ll send her into business. She can become a shopkeeper one day!
His second sister loves reading, so he’ll help her learn to read and open a school!
His third sister loves raising chickens, so he’ll help her earn her first pot of gold selling eggs!
And what about him?
He enters school at four and a half, passes the county and prefectural exams at ten, and becomes a licentiate at eleven!
Years later, the Zhou family is finally living well.
The three sisters each have their own careers, their parents can finally hold their heads high, and the once-poor farming family now has two licentiates.
Zhou Xiaozhou pats his chest. “Don’t worry, sisters. I still have the provincial and metropolitan exams to pass!”
