Back to 1980: Hunting in the Mountains to Support My Beloved Wife

[Reborn] [Hunting in the Mountains] [Multiple Heroines] [Stockpiling Food in a Bygone Era] [Tough Man with a Tender Heart]

In his previous life, Chen Weidong struck it rich gathering seafood and owned factories worth tens of billions. Yet in the coldest winter of 1980, he could only watch helplessly as his newlywed wife, Ye Xiaomei, starved to death in their earthen house.

He was reborn in that winter.

The flour jar was nearly empty, with only a few ounces of cornmeal left. Heavy snow blocked the mountain paths, and his widowed sister-in-law next door, Pan Xiulan, was nearly out of food for herself and her child. The whole village was waiting for spring, but spring was still three months away.

Chen Weidong ran his hand over the chipped hatchet in his grasp.

All the survival skills he'd built up over decades of gathering seafood in his previous life were still in his mind. On the snow before him, the tracks of a wild rabbit were plain to see.

This time, he was heading into the mountains.

Gray-brown hares, badgers, roe deer, wild boars... The old forests of the Changbai Mountains were full of things that could keep a person alive. Others saw no way out; he saw a backyard garden ripe for the picking.

His wife, Ye Xiaomei, was sweet and sensible but frail, so he had to build up her strength. His widowed sister-in-law, Pan Xiulan, was bold and capable but often bullied, so he had to protect her. Later, a young woman fleeing famine from the mountains and a pretty accountant from the supply cooperative also came along... One by one, they all ended up clinging to him.

Chen Weidong had wanted to spend his life with just one woman, but Ye Xiaomei blushed and ushered the others into their home. "Sister Xiulan has had a hard time. Let's all live together."
