The County Magistrate's Family Travels to the 1970S

Tang Jin'an was serving in Fengling County with his wife and children. The old emperor was senile, and rebel forces were surging toward the city. The wealthy families and common people of Fengling County fled. As the county magistrate, if Tang abandoned the city and ran, his superiors would make him a scapegoat, and the senile emperor would hold him accountable. He would surely die. If he stayed, he would fall into the hands of the savage, cannibalistic rebels. Either way, death awaited him. He planned to send his wife and children away, then drink poison. But they refused to leave him, insisting that the whole family should live and die together. At the moment the city fell, all five of them drank poison together in the back hall of the county office and went to their deaths. On the road to the underworld, the family saw the Black and White Impermanence and a strange family. The man had short hair, and both the man and woman wore bizarre clothes. Then the five of them awoke inside the bodies of that strange family. They even had the same names, but now there was an extra little daughter, a younger sister, so their family of five had become six. That family had only recently moved out of their old home. They had fallen ill and died in the bitter cold and hunger, leaving nothing but bare walls... Fortunately, the county office's back hall and garden had come with them. This was a place with no emperor or servants, where men and women were equal, women could attend school and earn a living, and there were no Three Obediences and Four Virtues... Qin Shu, who had loved practicing martial arts as a child but had been confined to the inner quarters after marriage, shot upright as if from the dead. I can do this! Tang Jin'an was startled. “My lady, your husband will provide for the family.” Qin Shu shot him a sideways glance. “You can't even catch a pheasant!” Tang Jin'an lowered his head in embarrassment. The eldest, Tang Wenyang, was about to explode. Becoming a farmer's son after being a young master of an official family wasn't so bad, but his hands, once white as jade, had become black, bony claws. He had lice in his hair, and when he rubbed his body, dirt came off in clumps... Ugh! The second child, Tang Wenxuan, loved the new place. Girls could study alongside boys, and women could even become officials. She was going to study and become an official! The third child, Qin Wenchen, happily became the village children's ringleader. The fourth, Tang Wenqing, was the little sister, so naturally everyone doted on her. But the fourth... Tang Wenqing, a woman born in the 1990s, had been driven into depression by her parents, who kept demanding money from her to buy a house for their precious son. Even then, they wouldn't leave her alone. As soon as the pandemic lockdown ended, they pressured her to go on a blind date and trade her for a bride price. When she was struck by something thrown from a high-rise, she felt relieved. But when she woke up, she had become a three-year-old child, and the apartment she had bought had come along too. She decided to give up and do nothing, but her new parents and siblings were a little strange. Tang Jin'an was known throughout the production brigade as a jinx. His mother had nearly died giving birth to him, and misfortune had followed him since childhood. His parents and siblings hated him, and being separated from the family was more like being driven out. After carefully analyzing the original owner's memories, Tang Jin'an boldly concluded that the original owner's parents had deliberately spread the rumor that he was unlucky. The original owner wasn't Tang Changrong's biological son. Over thirty years ago, during the war, a man had entrusted his infant son to Tang Changrong and his wife. After the new dynasty was established, the man returned to take the boy back, reportedly giving the Tang family a great deal of money and valuables. Everything about the way Tang Changrong and his wife treated the original owner suggested that the son the man had taken away was actually their own. Tang Jin'an was the real Yi Jinyu.
