Reborn in the Sixties: After Cutting Ties, I Take My Wife and Daughter to the Capital

In the bitter winter of 1960, Chen Shouyi watched helplessly as his pregnant wife was driven into the cowshed by his parents. His son and daughter starved to death one after another, and his older brothers broke his legs and tossed him into the snow to die. When he opened his eyes again, he was back at the family division. This time, he flipped the Eight Immortals table and signed a severance of family ties in front of the entire village: "From this day on, I, Chen Shouyi, have nothing more to do with the Chen family. We are strangers, in life and in death!"

He left with his wife and unborn child, taking nothing with him. Relying on his fists and memories from his previous life, he traded mountain goods, going from carrying a shoulder pole into the county town to opening the first privately owned restaurant. His wife, Shen Yunqing, was the daughter of someone who had been sent to a cowshed. He was determined to put her through school, help clear her family's name, and accompany her to the college entrance exams. The day her acceptance letter arrived from the capital, the eldest Chen brother knelt outside the restaurant and begged him for help. Chen Shouyi had only two words for him: "Get lost."
