Everyday Life Raising a Kid as a Hoodlum

Contest entry reason: The male lead farms clams and makes a fortune.

Blurb:

Lu Shiqiu was a notorious hoodlum in the local area. At twenty-five, he still loafed around all day, living off others and waiting to die.

Then one day, he got bound to a child-rearing System!

[Bind to the System, and you'll get a biological child!]

Lu Shiqiu was overjoyed. Ever since he'd spent a night in the sea at age fifteen, he'd believed there was no chance he'd ever have children!

Knowing that free lunches didn't fall from the sky, Lu Shiqiu asked warily, "What do you want me to do?"

[Buy one, get three free. You just have to raise three adopted daughters!]

Lu Shiqiu: !!!!

This is the story of a hoodlum who goes to great lengths to raise an heir, only to find himself healed in the process.

[Bonus Scene]

His daughter was four and still loved playing in the mud.

Lu Shiqiu tried reasoning with her, but she wouldn't listen. He held her by the arm and said, "Nannan, I'm your dad. You have to listen to me."

His daughter answered with conviction, "But you never listened to Grandpa."

Lu Shiqiu: "..."

One-line summary: I'm a piece of work, I'm a hoodlum, but I'm a good dad.

Blurb:

In her previous life, Zhang Xiyao struggled her way up and finally became a manager at a securities firm.

Who knew that after falling asleep, she'd wake up as a peasant girl in the Northern Song Dynasty, cursed to bring misfortune to her parents and just dumped by her fiance?

The villagers avoided her like the plague and wanted to lock her up in a nunnery. Even her own family secretly suspected her.

Only the village's old blind man predicted that she would one day become a person of great importance!

His words were still ringing in their ears when the villagers soon realized the Zhang family had struck it rich!

Zhang Xiyao set up a stall selling stinky tofu, liangfen, ice pops, youtiao, and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes... and step by step became the richest person in the Northern Song Dynasty!

Years later, magnificent carriages began arriving in the remote village. They all had the same purpose: to ask for the hand of Zhang Xiyao, the orphan girl the villagers had once looked down on.

Among the suitors were the prefect of Kaifeng, a vice minister of works, the minister of revenue... Even the emperor's youngest son came to steal her away.
