Life at the Foot of Baiyun Mountain [Farming]

[About this novel]

The elderly Hes favor one branch of the family and casually buy a cheap young man, Lin Yu, to foist on their second son's grandson. What they don't know is that Lin Yu has transmigrated from the modern world and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

He Yaochuan is forced to accept a husband and is unhappy about it. Having lost all hope for his marriage, he plans to part amicably with this stranger.

Then Lin Yu appears by his side like a little sun. He Yaochuan chops down trees, and Lin Yu follows behind to gather firewood. He Yaochuan hoes the fields, and Lin Yu follows behind to plant seedlings. When his clothes tear, someone mends them. When he gets hungry from working, someone brings him food. When his family is bullied, someone stands up for them. At last, he no longer has to watch his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law show off their love.

The young couple work hard, and at last their life gets on track. They work from sunrise to sunset, walking along the country paths in the morning beneath the rising sun and returning home slowly in the evening glow. They eat the plainest meals and live the most ordinary, peaceful life.

Coming soon: My Little Husband Dongdong. Please add it to your favorites! ≥v≤

Hong County is struck by a flood, leaving Dong Ge'er a poor, homeless boy. He goes with his grandmother, his only family, to seek help from relatives, but they are driven out with nowhere to go.

To pay for his grandmother's medical treatment, Dong Ge'er can only hang a little sign around his neck and sell himself.

A man passing by buys him on the condition that he become the man's husband.

The man promises to pay for his grandmother's treatment and support her, too. But he is tall and intimidating, and Dong Ge'er is afraid of him. Still, he bravely follows the man home, tears in his eyes.

Xiao Yi is twenty years old. Other men his age have children already old enough to run around.

He has never liked any of the girls or young men in the village. He only takes a liking to one young man selling himself with a sign around his neck. Xiao Yi thinks he's handsome and filial, so he brings him home for two taels of silver and pays for his grandmother's treatment.

But the young man is so afraid of him that he watches Xiao Yi's face even while bathing and eating, and trembles whenever Xiao Yi touches him.

People in the village see that Xiao Yi has no parents and owns ten mu of good farmland. They fight tooth and nail to marry their daughters and sons to him. But Xiao Yi turns them all down and even drives the matchmaker away.

Then they hear that Xiao Yi has bought a young man on a whim while out in town. The young man comes with his whole family in tow, and his pregnancy mark is faint. A young man who can't bear children will be divorced sooner or later.

But they wait and wait, and all they see is Xiao Yi quietly coaxing his wronged young husband. He doesn't even dare touch a single strand of his hair.

[Reader's guide]

1. This is another story of rural life in the fields, a slow-paced romance about living day to day. Those who enjoy pastoral stories can give it a try. If you don't like it, you can spit it out and stomp on it a couple of times.

2. Some aspects are fictional and based on authorial invention, so don't expect strict historical accuracy.

3. This is my second time writing. Feedback is welcome "^-^"

4. This is purely a farming story. No imperial exams, no business ventures, and no move to the city~

Theme: Love life, take it slow, and don't rush.
