The Farmstead's Cherished Son-in-Law

After transmigrating into an ancient farming family, Han Xiaoman found no bare walls or missed meals. The family patriarch, her grandfather, had divided up the household early, and they lived in the village’s finest three-room brick house with a courtyard, eating their fill while the whole village looked on enviously. Han Xiaoman grinned. Wow! I’ve got a huge head start! But what was this about her family bringing in a son-in-law? Was this live-in son-in-law the county’s youngest and most promising scholar? And had her family spent six years raising him? They’d better have a breakup feast early! She wasn’t stupid enough to raise a heartless ingrate for the whole family. They weren’t married yet, so she’d better call off the engagement right away! And what was going on with her arrogant scholar father? In her memories, he had never looked after her or her mother, nor had he earned a living for the family. Their comfortable life had come entirely from her mother’s hunting, thanks to her superhuman strength! And her arrogant father had even left her mother a lonely wife all these years? Damn it! Divorce, divorce! This life is unbearable! Mom, I fully support you in ending the marriage! I’ll find you a new husband, and I guarantee he’ll be better! The live-in son-in-law proved his worth when a severe drought struck the county. He devised a plan to fight the drought and prepare for floods the following year, earning ten taels of silver from the county magistrate. His mother-in-law immediately urged the whole clan to demand that the engagement be called off. “Call it off! Call it off! We absolutely cannot let our son, a reincarnated star of literature, marry a country girl with brute strength! With his talents, he’ll marry the daughter of an official one day!” Han Xiaoman was delighted. Please, call it off! But Father-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you refusing to end it no matter what? Don’t do this! Check out and support my new 2021 novel, The Ruthless Daughter-in-Law!
