My Educated Youth Husband Came from a World of Cultivation

My other novel, Raising Kids the Opposite Way in an Eighties Blended Family, is now underway. Please add it to your favorites! Many thanks! Its blurb is below. Blurb: “I suspect my husband isn’t human at all.” In 1983, Jiang Hongguo said this to a police officer visiting the countryside beneath the old locust tree at the village entrance. A bolt of lightning struck the tree, and Jiang Hongguo ran home in fright. After that, she didn’t dare say her husband wasn’t human anymore. In 1983, Gu Changzong finished work and headed back with a hoe over his shoulder. On the field path, the local police officer visiting the countryside eyed the young man’s solid muscles and teased him, “Changzong, your wife says you’re not human. What part of you isn’t human, exactly?” Gu Changzong smiled. “I guess I’m a bit too much at night.” Soon, the village aunties were laughing about it. “Hongguo, everyone knows your man’s amazing. You don’t have to brag about it.” In 1983, Jiang Hongguo’s estranged husband, a sent-down youth she’d been living apart from for a year, started coming to her room every night with great enthusiasm. She couldn’t beat him or even bite him hard enough to stop him. After a while, she gave up and asked, “Gu Changzong, are you actually human?” What could Gu Changzong say? “I’m human, of course.” Blurb for Raising Kids the Opposite Way in an Eighties Blended Family: Lin Wanying is reborn and learns the real reason her husband divorced her: his first love’s family has been politically rehabilitated, and the two shameless lovers couldn’t wait to divorce their spouses and get together. Everyone mocks Lin Wanying, saying her sent-down husband wants a divorce because she’s always playing with weapons like her late father, won’t focus on having children, and insists on bringing her little brother along. To change the fate she had before being reborn, Lin Wanying decides to go to the capital and find Gu Liansheng, another divorcee in a bind, so they can form a blended family and raise their kids by agreement! Gu Liansheng receives an urgent telegram: his wife of five years is making a scene and demanding a divorce. On his way back, he comes across a clash with bandits. A lovely young woman suddenly springs into action, knocking one bandit down with a single punch and preventing anyone from getting hurt. As Gu Liansheng chats with the heroine, he can’t help asking, “Miss, are you going to the capital to stay with relatives?” Lin Wanying casually replies, “I’m divorced. My family set me up with a good match for a second marriage. He’s a police officer named Gu Liansheng. I saw you catching thieves and couldn’t help pitching in.” Gu Liansheng: ...There are plenty of people with the same name. It must just be a coincidence. Gu Liansheng has been married to his wife for five years, but they’ve been as cold to each other as ice. Now that her family has been politically rehabilitated, she can’t wait to divorce him, leaving him with her mischievous little brother to deal with. Freshly divorced, Gu Liansheng is at his wits’ end when a neighbor from the family compound praises him. “Liansheng, you’ve found a new wife right after your divorce. That’s the way to get back at her! She’s already at your door, so hurry home and take a look. She’s so gentle and pretty.” Gu Liansheng: ...Since when did I have another wife? Lin Wanying finds Gu Liansheng’s home. When he gets back, he’ll be a single divorcee. They haven’t even formed their blended family yet, and her little brother and Gu Liansheng’s younger brother, Gu Shuisheng, two boys of about the same age, are already locked in a brawl. Lin Wanying pins one boy under each hand and ties them up neatly with hemp rope. She thinks the two boys together aren’t half as naughty as she was as a child. As long as Gu Liansheng agrees, raising kids together shouldn’t be too bad! Lin Wanying has already won over the Gu family’s boys when the young police officer she ran into on the road a few days ago salutes her. “Hello, Comrade Wanying. I’m Gu Liansheng.” Lin Wanying: ... The two of them make do and start a chaotic, lively life with the kids raising them! Theme: Be self-reliant, respect and cherish one another, and build a future together.
