The Dragon-Protagonist Counterpart in a Period Novel

Everyone in Osmanthus Village says, "The Meng family may be doing well now, but hard times are still ahead!"

Their only child, Meng Bao, is spoiled rotten. He's chubby, lazy, and slow as can be. He's not even as useful as a girl when it comes to work!

Nothing like the neighbor, Wang Liuwawa, a tiny, skinny kid who's smart, hardworking, and capable. He's bound to go far!

Meng Bao pouted. His family wasn't going to have hard times!

The System babysitter said that when he grew up, he'd take over from Grandpa and work at the liquor factory in town, with a secure government job and meals provided!

And that kid next door wasn't Liuwawa at all!

His System babysitter said Liuwawa had been possessed by a ghost!

The Wang family was in for a terrible time!

Wang Liuwawa's father and mother would die, his engagement would be called off, and the whole Wang family would perish. Only then could he go around slapping people in the face and become a success!

Meng Bao wasn't going to learn from Liuwawa!

The System babysitter said that once he got into the liquor factory and received shares, he could eat fish and meat, take one bite, and toss the whole bowl away!

Money would flow into his pockets all by itself. He'd live in a huge apartment building, keep one unit for himself, and rent out ten!

But what were shares? Were they like ration coupons?

He was so impatient. When would the Moutai Town Liquor Factory start handing out shares?
