Period: I Refuse to Return to the City and Spoil the Village Beauty Rotten

“A voluntary divorce? I’m not divorcing her. I’m not going back to the city!”

Winter, 1978. The policy allowing people to return to the cities takes effect, and all married sent-down youths are disqualified!

In his previous life, Song Chengye was tricked by a hypocritical sent-down youth into jumping into a river to force a marriage. As a result, Su Zhihe, the most sought-after beauty for miles around, died by suicide in despair!

Reborn on the day he jumped into the river, he sees his heavenly beauty of a wife crying her eyes out by the bed, and his father-in-law standing guard with a hunting rifle. Song Chengye tears the divorce papers to shreds!

Return to the city to squeeze into a ten-square-meter pigeonhole and become an unemployed drifter? Why do that when he can stay by his beautiful wife’s side in their warm bed?

Armed with a forty-year head start on wealth-building insights and outstanding farming skills, while everyone else spends the winter cooped up, chewing tree bark, Song Chengye sprouts fresh bean sprouts and forces yellow chives in a heated brick bed, making a fortune in the dead of winter!

While his fellow sent-down youths are fighting tooth and nail for a spot on the list to return to the city and pushing their way in just to eat pickled vegetables, Song Chengye secretly gets his father-in-law to put down a red fingerprint on a household farming contract!

He raises fish in winter ponds, grows seedlings in greenhouses, and eats white rice with stewed pork every day, making his lovely wife glow with health and envy from everyone!

A few years later, his fellow sent-down youths are laid off and fretting over half a pound of grain coupons. Song Chengye is driving a Santana and embracing his village beauty wife, who has just been accepted to a top university. Together, they have turned their poor mountain village into the nation’s most famous village of millionaires!
