Reborn in 1970: Everyone in the Village Gives Me a Pound of Grain Every Day

His parasitic ex-wife's family drained him dry. His wife took his demobilization settlement to support her gambling-addicted younger brother, constantly funneling money to her family. In the end, to cover their debts, she conspired with her mother to trick him into handing over the deed to his house, leaving Jiang Fan with his family destroyed and his life in ruins.

Jiang Fan is reborn before the tragedy begins. When the loudspeaker sounds again, he kicks open the door and catches his awful ex-wife stealing the house deed. To his surprise, he activates the Village Guardian System.

As long as he protects the village, he receives premium grain each day, in an amount equal to the entire village's population.

He buys grain at high prices, builds factories, and makes liquor, creating his own business empire in an era of scarcity. At the same time, he beats up bullies and puts eccentric troublemakers in their place, paying back every grudge from his past life several times over.

When the once-dirt-poor man owns a mountain of gold and becomes a tycoon of his era, everyone is stunned: this village guardian is absurdly rich!
