When Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes, people from the gambling house were kicking down the door to drag him away. The previous owner was a hopeless gambler: he'd sold his father-in-law's fishing nets, racked up a mountain of usurious debt, and gambled away the last of the family's food.

I'll cherish this wife of mine, and I'll shoulder the burden of this family!
