The Workaholic Dragon-Aotian's Fussy Little Widower

[Posted every other day after the sixth, please don't let it pile up QAQ] 🥰Coming soon: Reborn as a Cannon Fodder Educated Youth in a Period Novel; The Reborn Foil in a Period Novel. Please add them to your reading list~🐾 Lin Zhou had a stunning face, but had spent years free of romantic desire. Just as he was thinking about finding a partner, he opened his eyes and found himself in a period novel, as the vicious... male widow of his brother's wife. A pure-hearted college guy had suddenly become a young widower. Lin Zhou didn't freak out. He calmly decided to lie flat. In an era of material scarcity, he relied on his younger brother-in-law, a natural-born hero with maxed-out skills, and clung to his coattails all the way to the top. But... where exactly was his brother-in-law putting his hands? 😒 In everyone's eyes, He Zhengnan was a pitiful kid. His parents had died young, and his older brother had died on the very day he got married. All that remained in the family was a male in-law who couldn't lift a finger to help. He Zhengnan hated those looks. Only his little sister-in-law was different. She had an inexplicable faith in him. “Zhengnan is definitely going to make something of himself.” “Zhengnan can definitely get into Qingbei University.” “Zhengnan, I know you can do it!” He Zhengnan listened to those words and climbed step by step to heights beyond even Lin Zhou's imagination, becoming a mechanical engineering giant everyone looked up to. Faced with countless honors, all he could think was: Thank goodness I didn't let Lin Zhou down. Lately, everyone in the neighborhood had been talking about one thing: He Zhengnan, once the pitiful kid, had made it big. Even provincial leaders had to submit a report before meeting him! And his lazy, gluttonous male in-law? Tsk, he wouldn't have many good days left~ Then one day, they happened to see that male in-law, with a pale, delicate face so soft it looked like you could pinch water from it, ordering He Zhengnan around. He Zhengnan lowered his eyes, wrapped a large hand around the other's ankle, and knelt to put on his shoe. No one heard Lin Zhou grumbling, “He Zhengnan! I told you to get my shoes, not put them on me!” “Ah! Don't play with my feet! And don't kiss me with a mouth that's kissed my feet!” 🤬 Those who had once mocked Lin Zhou for being lazy and said he'd eat them out of house and home eventually couldn't even see the car's taillights as he drove off...
