His father doesn't care for him, his stepmother doesn't love him, and during a famine, he's traded to the Du family in the neighboring village for two dou of sorghum to become their child bridegroom. When he wakes up, all that's left of the household is three thatched cottages, two hens, and the Du family's siblings, thin as sticks. The villagers are saying that the Du family's eldest son, Du Yunshe, whom he's never met, has lost his prospects and is about to return to the village and sponge off his family.

He rolls up his sleeves and says airily, "It's fine. I'll support him." * Du Yunshe was hailed as a child prodigy at the age of ten and became a disciple of a renowned scholar of his era.
