In his previous life, Jiang Qin was a refined (spineless) and timid scholar. As the Lin family's live-in son-in-law, he suffered the cold stares of his relatives.
After his father-in-law died in an unexpected car accident, the elders in the clan took advantage of his weakness, joining forces to seize the supply and marketing cooperative his father-in-law had left behind and occupy his family's two-story house.
He gave in at every turn and compromised time after time, but all it got him was a family torn apart and lives destroyed:
His mother-in-law died of grief and anger;
His sister-in-law went south for work, was kidnapped, and disappeared, her fate unknown;
Even his beloved wife, trying to borrow money to treat their child, who had a high fever, was set up by her beastly cousin and a vile classmate, then forced to get drunk. To protect her honor, she leapt to her death!
Reborn!
He returns to the day of his father-in-law's seventh-day memorial in 1976.
Facing the aggressive relatives and seeing his wife and daughter trembling behind him,
Jiang Qin, weathered by the vicissitudes of life and the ups and downs of business, speaks in a quiet, expressionless voice:
"In this life, from today on, I'll protect my home. Everyone who owes me will pay back tenfold!"
Starting with taking over the supply and marketing cooperative, he plans every step and lays his schemes at every turn, riding the waves...
In an era where gold lies everywhere, Jiang Qin carves out a path for himself, tramples those beastly relatives underfoot, and builds his own business empire!
Note: The background of this book is the southwestern Shandong region in the 1970s and 1980s, so people are generally not called 'brother-in-law' but 'brother-in-law'. "Evil bag man" is also a dialect in southwestern Shandong, which means making people feel numb and goosebumps.
