[Rural Life] [1980s] [Hunting] [Fishing] [Mute Heroine] [One Female Lead] [Entrepreneurship]

Lu Chuan transmigrates into the body of Lu Dashan, a fool. His former wife, Fang Yi, gets into university, then turns around and reports the Lu family for arranging her marriage. She divorces him and leaves him with a debt of 300 yuan.

Between the debt and a poor harvest, the Lu family doesn't even have enough grain to get through the winter. With no other choice, Lu Chuan finds a way to sell his father, Lu Dashan, to Aunt Ju. But he discovers that Aunt Ju's mute daughter, Liu Xiaoran, has been secretly in love with him for years. So both father and son marry into their respective families.

To pay off their debts, Lu Dashan, now over forty, and Huang Ju go to work in the county town, leaving Lu Chuan and Liu Xiaoran at home to have children and settle into married life. But how could Lu Chuan be content with an ordinary life?

Gazing at the loving look in his treasure of a mute wife's eyes each day, Lu Chuan swears to make his family prosperous!

He starts by training dogs, turning Aunt Ju's best friend's big yellow dog into a trusted hunting companion. Soon every dog in the village is at his command, and on his very first day in the mountains, he brings down a wild boar.

After his successful hunt, the village chief gives Lu Chuan an old-fashioned hunting rifle, and the village bully, Shuanzi, lends him a hand. Together, they establish a hunting team in the village.

From then on, every trip into the mountains to hunt and every trip out to sea to fish yields a plentiful haul. Selling his catch, Lu Chuan earns his first fortune during the era of reform and opening up, becoming the village's first household worth ten thousand yuan.

After the New Year, his parents return from the county town and stare at the newly built, spacious brick house, completely dumbfounded.

"Did my fool of a son really build all this himself?"
