Pei Le is the most arrogant brother in the village. He is an old man, his family is well off, and he is so spoiled that he dares to push the men in the village to the ground and beat them.
Some bitter people in the village sighed when they saw him, saying that he would never be able to marry when he grew up, and no man would dare to marry him.
Pei Le said that a man without courage was not worthy of being his husband, and he did not want to marry. He wanted to find a son-in-law.
Not long after he said these words, Pei Le's marriage was decided. He was a scholar of the same age. His parents and relatives at home had passed away, so he came to his house.
The twelve-year-old scholar was short and thin, but his bright black eyes looked at him, and Pei Le looked down on him.
But the marriage was not up to him. The eldest brother arranged a place for the scholar to live, which was fortunately far away from his room.
Scholars are arrogant and ignorant, at least in Pei Le's eyes.
But his fiancé is different. He can study hard, work hard, save some money and buy him sweets to please him, and teach him how to read and read...
Gradually, he felt that his eldest brother was very visionary and far-sighted.

When Cheng Li was young, his hometown suffered a disaster, and his family fled until only he and his biological father were left alive.
The father and son re-established their household registration and settled down in a strange place. His father is a scholar and it is easier to make money than ordinary people. It is not difficult to raise him.
However, the good times did not last long. After saving money for several years to live a good life, his father fell ill and couldn't afford it. He spent all the family's money and left.
He left a thatched hut and a box of books.
Cheng Li has no fame yet. When he goes out to look for work, there are always people who deceive him because of his young age, trick him and squeeze him out of wages.
While staying in the thatched hut, there were people who stole his things in the middle of the night. If they were caught, they would not apologize and just rob them openly.
He was so angry and helpless that he decided to get married.
He took a fancy to the Pei family brother from the neighboring village.
He had seen Pei Le beating people. He was very powerful and powerful. One person could beat two men of the same age.
This is the kind of husband he wants.

Many years later, the scholar became a high-ranking official, and the arrogant peasant boy in his youth became a general praised by everyone.
The names of the two are engraved at the entrance of the village. All the children in the school know their examples and know that they must study hard to be as successful as the two in the future.
When I went back to the village, the people who had ridiculed Pei Le were almost scared out of their wits. They hid in the house and did not dare to go out. From the crack in the window, they saw Pei Le being surrounded and passed by, and they felt regretful.
*Arrogant brother & gentle scholar, a combination of civil and military fortunes, there are more plots in the later stage.

Intention: Diligence and hard work will eventually lead to success.
