In his previous life, Chen Yongchang spent his entire fortune marrying his first love, only to become a father nine months later.
His father died of anger, the family fell into decline, and she ran off with their child and her lover.
Reborn in 1979, she climbed into Chen Yongchang's bed again, demanding a bride price of fifty yuan, a sewing machine, a bicycle, and more...
This time, Chen Yongchang turned on the lights and opened the door, so the whole village could see just how much this “chaste young woman” was worth!
“Qin Xianglian, did you just not have time to get out of my bed, or had someone already had his way with you?”
His words exposed her scheme. Before long, she was pregnant with another man's child and forcing educated youth Zhang Jianshe to come ask for her hand.
Meanwhile, Chen Yongchang took his last eight yuan, picked up a pot of braised meat, and headed straight for the county town.
He didn't want to be a cuckold. He wanted his first pot of gold.
He wouldn't be a sucker raising another man's child. He would become the first ten-thousand-yuan household after China opened up and began its reforms!
The winds of 1979 had begun to blow. Those who caught them would feast, while those who stood still would eat dirt.
This life, he would smash every bad deal he'd accepted in his previous life and make them pay!
