The Richest Wife in Eighties-Era Siheyuan Town

(My new book, The Luo Family's Daughter-in-Law Is a Tycoon, Eighties Edition, is now updating.) Her fiance, who had just gotten into college, broke off their engagement. Then the richest young man in town proposed to her, and they married.

After the wedding, she learned that her husband had treated her as nothing more than a tool for getting married.

Once she came to her senses, Tang Bao became convinced that having money of her own was better than relying on anyone else.

She started selling goods on the street, then went alone to the provincial capital to make her fortune, achieving her dream of becoming a wealthy woman.

"Grilled lamb skewers! Tasty and affordable!"

"How much for table three?"

"Forty-one yuan in total."

"Sister-in-law, my big brother is your husband. Why are you charging him?"

"I know he's my husband, but do these lamb skewers know who he is? We can't let them think a tycoon like him is trying to eat without paying, can we?"

Later...

Her ex-husband's business was thriving, but he had no interest in the women around him. His gaze kept getting drawn to Tang Bao.

After agreeing to the divorce, he would feel inexplicably empty every night.

His sidekick asked, "Boss, what do you think is the hardest thing?"

The mighty business magnate replied, "Winning your wife back."

The next book in the queue: The Luo Family's Daughter-in-Law Is a Tycoon, Eighties Edition

His family's yard was overgrown with weeds, and the front gate was locked, its padlock covered in rust.

Only after asking around did he find out that the man had been sent away for reform, and wouldn't be released for several more months.

"Jun, someone has taken over your house."

"My sister-in-law?"

"No, some strange girl. She says she's your wife!"

"I don't even have a girlfriend. How could I have a wife?" the young man with a buzz cut insisted from behind the iron bars.

"What? She said she'll come see you next month. You can ask her then."

"What's going on? Where did this wife come from?"

In her previous life, Feng Yao met Luo Erjun while being taken to be sold in a remote mountain village. She begged him for help.

He saw her, but turned and walked away. Then he ran off.

Just as the battered bus was about to leave, he came back, followed by several other people.

The people who were selling her had blood on their hands and were utterly ruthless. Just as Feng Yaoyao was about to be rescued, one of them stabbed her in the heart.

She died, but her spirit remained by Luo Erjun's side.

She later learned that Luo Erjun's parents had long since passed away. He had an older brother who had married into the Zhang family, a family in the county that ran a vehicle business, and hadn't returned in years.

Luo Erjun could do just about anything when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun. He was also handsome, so plenty of girls liked him. But either he wasn't interested in them, or their families refused to let their daughters marry a man with nothing to his name.

He never married. He had a decent life when he was young, but as he grew older, one by one his friends, none of whom had lived particularly well, either died or fell ill. His own life became increasingly unsettled, with no fixed place to stay and no guarantee of a meal. In the depths of winter, he had neither a padded coat nor a thick quilt, and his body was covered in frostbite sores.

When Feng Yaoyao met his older brother, she began to wonder if they were really brothers at all.

The Reborn Supporting Female Lead Awakens is nearly complete.
