Back to the Sixties with a Stingy System

My other novel, The Top Student in the Nineties, is currently updating. Come check it out. Zhang Funian developed a terminal illness. When he died, his wife was still young, and their two outstanding children hadn't come of age. He couldn't accept it. After dying, he opened his eyes and found himself back at eight years old. His father had just run off with another woman, and he had gone from being the son of the village's respected Party secretary to a poor little cabbage. Zhang Funian unexpectedly discovered that the stingy Rebirth Comeback System had come back with him. Chase off awful relatives, get an egg as a reward; come in first on an exam, get a pound of meat... While training and leveling up with the System's help, he also built a new house, became a teacher, and got into college. Through his own efforts, he once again became the envy of everyone, and his rewards kept getting bigger. So many people came to ask for his hand in marriage that they wore a path to his door... Zhang Funian turned them all down. He could think only of his wife. But she was still in a little mountain village, a thousand miles away, gathering pigweed! After going through so much to find her, he grabbed her hand, tears of excitement streaming down his face. But the girl across from him, her hair in two thick braids, warily raised a wooden club. "Who are you?" Zhang Funian stammered, "I-I'm your husband!" The girl flew into a rage and brought the club down on his head. "Help! There's a pervert!" Blurb for The Top Student in the Nineties: Zhang Yueyue was reborn. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found her parents arguing over the tuition for her and her older brother. Her father said, "Let your brother go to school. We don't have the money." Zhang Yueyue said, "I won't ask you for money." Her mother said, "You're a girl. Why do you need so much education?" Zhang Yueyue answered in her heart: Because I don't want a little dowry to buy the rest of my life from me. Zhang Yueyue picked tea leaves and sold ice pops, finishing elementary and middle school. She wrote articles and took holiday jobs to complete high school, then earned a place at a key university. To move her household registration, she handed most of her savings over to her parents. Once she got to university, both her studies and career began to take off. By graduation, Zhang Yueyue had excellent grades, some savings, and a very good job offer. Her parents showed up at her workplace without warning. Her father said, "Things are difficult at home. Could you help us out a little?" Her mother said, "You're a girl. What do you need all that money for? Are you planning to give it all to someone else's family?" The next day, Zhang Yueyue promptly quit her job and left for faraway places. Theme: A life of hard work is the most beautiful.
