In the Eighties, My Whole Family Was Obsessed with Looks

[The heroine is reborn, no romance; a cheerful farming story, set in a partly fictionalized era] Meng Dashan is an ugly old man with an extreme obsession with looks. Seeing his own face in the mirror always puts him in a bad mood. To improve his descendants' genes, he defied everyone's objections when he was young and married Meng Granny, a beautiful woman with a questionable family background. They had a tall, straight-backed eldest son, a handsome second son as elegant as bamboo, and an utterly ordinary, even somewhat ugly, third son. To keep the good looks in the family, Old Man Meng urged all three sons to work hard and save up enough for their betrothal gifts. They married three daughters-in-law who were respectively radiant, pretty, and fair-skinned. So the eldest and second sons both won beautiful brides, while the third married a woman who was just as ordinary as he was, apart from her fair skin. Old Man Meng, desperate to hold beautiful grandchildren in his arms, sighed and pinned all his hopes on his eldest and second sons. Who could have guessed that this thoroughly ordinary third couple would have a little fairy for a daughter? Reader's Guide: 1. Stories from a family obsessed with looks.
