With her excellent tofu-making skills, the Song family's life soon starts to thrive.

Who could have known that one day, just as Fu Niang finishes grinding tofu and is about to go sell it,
her father comes in beaming. "My dear girl, your grandfather has been exonerated. Your father can become an official!"
Right behind him, a matchmaker bustles in with a grin. "Fu Niang, a foolish young widow has taken a fancy to your father. Let's see who dares say you'll never marry because you're the eldest daughter of a motherless family!"
Then an old friend of her father's arrives, beaming too. "Brother Song, the new emperor has ordered the capital moved. This place is going to become the capital!"
Fu Niang only cares about the last thing. "What? This place is going to become the capital? Then the half street my mother left me is going to be worth a fortune!"

Upcoming novel: The Imperial Examination Candidate at the Farmhouse
Pei Guanchao dies suddenly just before the college entrance exams. When he opens his eyes again, he has become Pei Erwa, a pitiful boy in the Great Sheng Dynasty whose father is dead and whose mother has remarried.
His mother remarries and takes the family's remaining money with her.
His father dies in battle, and his biased grandmother takes the compensation to support her younger son.
His uncle claims he'll raise him, moves his whole family into a grand three-room house, then finds an excuse to throw him out.
*
Pei Guanchao has no father or mother, no food or drink, and even the place where he can shelter is something he has to fight a stray dog for.
Luckily, he has no shame. He latches straight onto the private tutor in town.
The old teacher has no children, is unmarried, and lives all alone.
Pei Guanchao rushes up to him and says, "Dad, let me be your son. I'll take care of you in your old age!"
The old teacher can't persuade him to leave or drive him away, so he can only grit his teeth and take on another son.
It isn't until Pei Guanchao gradually reveals his astonishing ability to learn that the old teacher finally takes an interest in him.
He raises his ruler. "Don't call me Dad again unless you bring home the top score in the imperial exam!"

Are there any extras? I feel like there are a lot of things that haven't been written clearly. Will there be any updates in the future?
Is the author going to inherit the family business or become rich overnight? Why the hasty ending?
Although it is fully booked and there are very few emotional lines, it is a bit outrageous to only write it out at the end that the male protagonist is a super hero...
It's like raising a son, but I don't take care of him. Like to eat or not
Liang Dalang is also out! When will Madam update the comic?
This kind-hearted soft glutinous rice dumpling is so cute
This episode is a bit bloody.
Take a look at the "Advanced Acceptance of Agricultural Examination Candidates"! Pei Guanchao died suddenly the night before the college entrance examination, and all his efforts in preparing for the examination fell short. When he opened his eyes again, it was not the ICU he thought, but a thatched house on a mud floor. He became the poor little Pei Erwa whose father died and his mother remarried in the Dasheng Dynasty. Before her remarriage, her mother took away the remaining money from the family on the pretext of taking away the dowry, leaving Pei Erwa with only two coarse grains. Pei Erwa didn't even see a word of the pension earned by his father who died in the battlefield, before his eccentric grandmother took it away to subsidize her younger son. The cruel uncle used the excuse of raising him and moved the family into the three large tile-roofed houses left by his father, but his biological son was kicked out. The cold wind was blowing and the shabby thatched hut was blowing. Pei Erwa had a high fever and returned to the grass in the windy and rainy night. Pei Guanchao went from an eighteen-year-old college entrance examination student to a poor orphan Pei Erwa who was only six years old. She has no father or mother, no food or water, and even her shelter has to be fought over with the wild dogs in the village. Fortunately, Pei Guanchao was thick-skinned and fell in love with the private school teacher in the town. The old gentleman had no children and was alone. Pei Guanchao rushed up and said: Dad, I will be your son and I will provide for you in your old age! The old gentleman could not persuade him to leave, nor could he drive him away. He could only hold his nose and gain a son. It wasn't until Pei Guanchao gradually demonstrated his amazing learning ability that the old man was delighted. He held the ruler in his hand: If you don't come back with the top prize, don't call me dad in the future! The military marshal returned from fighting the enemy on the frontier for more than ten years. When he returned home in fine clothes, he learned that his wife had run away and his son was dead! He was very sad and married a new wife and gave birth to a new son. In the days that followed, there were constant fights between wives and concubines in the backyard, and he was tired of coping. The sons he gave birth to flirted with cats and dogs, were arrogant and extravagant, and none of them became successful. Just when he was lamenting that he had no successor - alas! That new scholar from the Hanlin Academy, you look like my son! Pei Guanchao: Marshal is joking, my father's surname is Kong. Marshal of the Army:... My son's surname is Pei and my surname is Kong?
Fortunately, it's such a fat extra. I'll take a look today.
I was still fattening up, and suddenly I realized that it was over, and I was shocked.
