The Wicked Husband Takes Charge of the Whole Family

Pre-registration: Everyday Life in Xiqiao Town. Please add it to your favorites. Miao Ying, who had always been alone in the world, transmigrated. Before he did, he made a wish to the god of transmigration: he wanted to experience the warmth of family. Sure enough, he transmigrated into a big family. A sharp-tongued grandmother, a gambling, hard-drinking father-in-law, a gossipy mother-in-law, a toddler brother-in-law, and a taciturn husband who wouldn't say a word even if you beat him with three sticks. Miao Ying: Ha, let's just burn it all down! Damn heaven, men can marry men? Miao Ying had a fit and passed out. In a dream, he saw the original owner's story. The original owner stole his grandmother's coffin money and eloped with a good-for-nothing from the next village, only to be abandoned when their money ran out. He shamelessly returned home and spent every day stealing egg custard from his baby brother-in-law, who couldn't even walk yet. Miao Ying: ? So I was the bad guy? Miao Ying decided to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. Looking at the family's three cramped rooms, he made up his mind to improve their finances. Luckily, he had the transmigrator's golden finger and accidentally discovered rapeseed, which hadn't yet become widespread in this era. He planted rapeseed, learned to press oil, and sold skewers, making the family's life better and better. With control of the household finances, Miao Ying got the old drunkard and gambler to straighten up. He also won over his grandmother and mother-in-law. His little brother-in-law learned to walk, and Miao Ying packed him off to school. His taciturn husband... Well, he wasn't entirely useless. At least he could be of some use at night. Miao Ying looked at his family with satisfaction. At last, he had experienced the warmth of family. Miao Ying: Perfect. Important Notes 1. This is mostly about everyday family life.

Pre-registration: Everyday Life in Xiqiao Town Chang Xiao was frail from childhood, and his parents died early. He grew up on the food donated by the townspeople. A master at Baolin Temple once read his fortune and declared that his life would be full of hardship and cut short. Still, he managed to grow up, though not without stumbles along the way. The Chang family used to run an herbal medicine shop, and Chang Xiao had picked up some knowledge from being around it all his life. He could treat the townspeople's minor aches and fevers, earning a few coins here and there. He was gentle by nature and greeted everyone with a smile. He should have made a fine spouse, but his frail health meant that no one came asking for his hand when he reached marriageable age. Lin Zhouhui was the former young master of the Five Flavors Restaurant in Xiqiao Town. Why former? His father was a gambling addict, and after selling off the family business to pay his debts, he died. Lin Zhouhui had only two wishes in life. First, to buy back his family business. Second, to find his good friend Chang Xiao a spouse he would love. The first was simple. The second was as hard as reaching the heavens, because Lin Zhouhui's standards were simply too high. Someone who couldn't take care of Chang Xiao wouldn't do. Someone who couldn't cook wouldn't do. Someone who couldn't earn money wouldn't do. Someone too gentle might be bullied, while someone too fierce might bully Chang Xiao. After failing to find anyone suitable, Lin Zhouhui happened to see his reflection in the water vat one day while washing his face. Why couldn't it be him? He was good-looking, had cared for Chang Xiao since childhood, was an excellent cook, and knew how to make money. Why couldn't it be him? While countless matchmakers shook their heads and left the Chang family courtyard, Lin Zhouhui slipped inside and found Chang Xiao covering his mouth as he coughed, his brows slightly furrowed.
