A Farmer's Child's Daily Road to Prosperity

The new novel next door is already well underway: The Reborn, Fierce Little Husband. Come check it out! Blurb: Zhang Xiaoshui is born in a thatched hut in a refugee village. One parent is mentally disabled, the other frail and sickly. At six, Zhang Xiaoshui is quiet and sensible, and takes on the household chores at an early age. Just as he grows up with hardly enough to eat, his father brings home another child. The child walks in with a gloomy, sullen look. Zhang's father points to six-year-old Zhang Xiaoshui standing inside the door. "From now on, you're responsible for taking good care of your little brother." The vicious little wolf's eyes light up. He abandons his plans to run away, grabs the honest Zhang father's hand, and says, "Daddy, change my name to Zhang Youdi." Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshui bursts into tears. Dragging a stick longer than he is tall, he tries to beat up this stranger who's stealing his father. When the village children bully Zhang Xiaoshui, Zhang Youdi is the first to rush in and protect him. When the next village withholds the wages owed to the Zhang family, Zhang Youdi takes Zhang Xiaoshui by the hand and goes to their house every day to demand payment. Before long, everyone knows that Old Zhang is easy to push around, but his adopted son is vicious. The villagers are jealous and embarrassed. They used to mock Old Zhang for being too honest, but now the quail has hatched a fierce hawk. Their life gets better and better. They build a new house, eat white rice and meat at every meal, and the older brother slaughters pigs while the younger son works as an escort. They even open a shop in town. Anyone with sense knows what a catch this family would make as in-laws. When Zhang Xiaoshui reaches the age for matchmaking, Zhang Youdi drives off every suitor. He also declares that he has two requirements for anyone who wants to marry his younger brother: Earn more money than him. Be a better fighter than him. Zhang Xiaoshui is so angry he could cry. "No one within a hundred li meets your requirements. How am I supposed to get married?" Zhang Youdi wipes away his tears. "Spend your life with your big brother. I'll always treat you well." Every matchmaking attempt falls through. Oblivious, Zhang's father holds a dry tobacco pipe in his mouth and watches his son remain unmarried, deeply worried. "You're a pig butcher, and your brother has spoiled you into a pampered young master's bad temper. Which family in the village could put up with you?" Hearing that, Zhang Xiaoshui inexplicably blushes. At night, his brother insists on pecking at his feet and won't leave even when kicked away. He calls him "good boy," and calls him... "my little treasure." When Zhang Xiaoshui hits his brother, his brother gives him silver. What can Zhang Xiaoshui do? His older brother has protected him since childhood, so he can only indulge him in return. It's definitely not because of the silver!
