Reborn in a New Era: A Little Lucky Wife at Home

The Gu family had a daughter named Mingzhu, meaning “precious pearl,” a treasure in the palm of their hands. She finally grew up into a lovely young woman of marriageable age, but not a single matchmaker came calling. The Gu family: Our Mingzhu is naturally beautiful. Are those people blind? Villagers: Who’s really blind here? Your girl is lazy, ugly, and fat! The Gu family rolled up their sleeves: What did you say? Say that again, if you dare! The villagers scattered in every direction: If I can’t afford to offend them, I can at least stay away! ** Her third brother was good for nothing. He’d copied other people by squandering money and racked up a mountain of debt. When the creditors came demanding payment, the family would be seized and forced to work off the debt if they couldn’t pay. Before long, the villagers avoided the Gu family like the plague, afraid of getting dragged into trouble. Yet one man came to their door of his own accord: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” ** Gu Mingzhu: “Farming, farming, farming.” Before they knew it, the Gu family had become one of the wealthiest households in the village. People from all the nearby villages were stunned: “The Gu girl is beautiful and clever, the perfect choice for a daughter-in-law. I’d better hurry over and propose!” A certain man honed his knife with a threatening look: “Whoever comes to propose, I’ll deal with them!”
