My Husband Is a Jack of All Trades

Xiong Jinzhou is just like his surname suggests: tall and burly, the kind of man no one in the surrounding villages dares go near. His elders tried every possible way to get him a wife, eventually managing to get him into the county yamen. But even after he went from a junior constable to the chief constable, he still had no wife in sight. Even the matchmakers had started to fear him. Just as the Xiong family was growing worried, a strange matchmaker came to their door with a slender, handsome young man. The matchmaker sighed. "He used to work in the city. The young master of the household took a fancy to him, but the mistress didn't want her son to have him. She also didn't want to make his life miserable, so she asked me to send him somewhere far away." The matchmaker made him sound pitiful, and the young man was truly beautiful. He could read and write, knew how to embroider and weave, and was willing to marry into their family. The Xiong elders were pleased with him in every way and immediately took him in. Who knew that the very next day, the young man would fall ill? Ning Guizhu struggled through life until he was nineteen, finally making his way to a big city. Just as his life was barely getting on track, death came unexpectedly. When he opened his eyes again, he had become someone else. Although he had become a ge'er and might have to bear children in the future, the Xiong family got along well and loved one another. Ning Guizhu was reluctant to give up a family like that, so he stayed. Gradually, his unfamiliar husband became his beloved husband, and life in a little village in ancient times began to flourish. [Reading Guide]: 1. The focus is on the couple's life together, farming, and delicious food. No vile characters or power struggles. 2. The young master who liked the original owner has no role in the story and won't affect the protagonists' lives. 3. The anti-piracy lock covers 50% of the text. There is plenty of food and casual conversation. Coming soon: Snake's Travel Diary in the Beast World. Blurb below The Snake King tribe had a lazy snake. He would swim for a little while, then rest for half a day, giving the usually easygoing beastfolk a profound lesson in frustration at wasted potential. Couldn't he swim a little farther just once?! * You Yuan was a versatile streamer on a certain platform. To climb a mountain and steal bamboo shoots from a panda, he slipped down a steep slope and cracked his head on a rock. That was the end of him. When he woke up again, he had become a newly hatched snake tribe baby. It was said that his birth father taught him how to walk in beast form. You Yuan: I wiggle, I wiggle, I wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, ah, I'm so tired. His father watched the little snake straighten itself out, then looked back at where it had started. After all that effort, the distance it had swum was shorter than the snake's own body. After teaching him for half a month, his birth father and other father gave You Yuan the same name. Their expectations were exactly what the name implied: they hoped he could swim just a little farther in one go. But then When he was three, You Yuan learned to take human form. From then on, the little carrot-top ran all over the place, preferring to tumble around the forest until he was covered in dirt rather than move about in beast form. His fathers were deeply worried. Their little one seemed to be a mad beastfolk. But before long, the little one showed a cleverness beyond his age. He could make all sorts of things, so even if he couldn't hunt when he grew up, he would still be able to get enough food. His fathers relaxed. His fathers relaxed too soon. Their little one! Had been! Taken away! By a passing! Wandering beastfolk! Their little one, who couldn't even swim properly, had gone wandering!!! [Reading Guide] 1. The protagonists are both snakes. Proceed with caution. 2. The author absolutely loves food-related plotlines. The pace is very slow, a long, gentle read. 3. The protagonist has a spatial golden finger (he can't farm in it, and time doesn't stop; it is only for storage). Theme: Live earnestly. Every day is a happy one.
