My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

Lin Chuan ran back to the drafty pigsty in the pouring rain. In his previous life, because of his status as one of the "Five Black Categories," his family had been sent to this place and could only live in a drafty house.

He later learned that the pigsty collapsed after his mother took him away, and Lin Hai was seriously injured while protecting his younger brother Lin Zhe.

He eventually caught a cold, coughed up pneumonia, and died tragically in a haystack without even taking any medicine.

Lin Zhe, being heartless, simply buried his father somewhere and then lived a carefree life for a while with the money his father had saved for his funeral.

In his eyes, everyone in the village looked down on him and targeted him, which is why he lived such a miserable life.

Little did they know, it was simply because everyone knew about his filial impiety!

In this life, he not only wants to live a healthy life himself, but also wants his father to live a healthy life.

"Dad!"

Lin Chuan rushed into the dilapidated pigsty and saw Lin Hai leaning against a pile of hay, his face pale and breathing heavily.

Lin Hai's eyes widened suddenly. Before he could even express his unyielding spirit as a scholar, Lin Chuan wrapped him in a tattered straw mat and a worn-out quilt and carried him directly onto his shoulder.

"Where are you going!"

"Dad, the brigade said the pigsty is about to collapse, so they've moved us to a new place. Just close your eyes and rest!"

Lin Chuan slipped away without giving his father a chance to resist, and rushed up to the Guan family compound halfway up the mountain.

Lin Hai wasn't stupid; he started to resist halfway there.

"You unfilial son! What are you doing! Put me down! This is an insult to scholarship! An insult to scholarship!"

Lin Chuan almost stumbled as the raindrops pelted his face!

"Dad! Don't move! Use your brain and think this through! Winter is coming soon, and the two of us have been living in this dilapidated pigsty. It's drafty, and we have to feed the pigs and help with the hard work!"

"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own body? In the end, I'm still the only one doing the work!"

"Everyone else is off living a good life, so what? You don't want to live anymore? You're just going to give up on yourself in the pigsty?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Hai froze.

Lin Chuan sighed silently in his heart and stepped into the courtyard.

At this moment, the Guan family compound no longer smelled of blood from the pig slaughter.

The bluestone slabs were washed clean by the well water, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of food and meat.

Lin Hai was placed on a scorching hot kang (heated brick bed) by his own son, with a brand-new red satin quilt underneath him.

He had just pulled back the quilt and peeked out when he heard a creak as the wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Lin Hai was so frightened that he shrank back into the blankets, his mind filled with images of a female killer wielding a butcher knife.

But when he looked closely, he froze in place.

The woman who walked in was carrying a large, steaming bowl, and she was no longer wearing the tattered, blood-stained blouse she had worn before.

Even today, Guan Hongying is wearing a faded but clean blue floral shirt, and her face is no longer covered in mud and filled with murderous intent.

In fact, Guan Hongying's face was quite pretty. She had delicate eyebrows and a high nose. Years of hunting and working had prevented her from becoming sickly thin like women from the city, nor did she have the wrinkles caused by the wind or the nasolabial folds etched by the sun like women in the village.

On the contrary, she exudes a healthy, vibrant, and wild beauty!

Even though she is thirty-six years old, her figure is still slender and toned.

At this moment, Guan Hongying was somewhat nervous because she was facing the person she had been longing for, and even her ears turned a suspicious blush.

How can she be a shrew?

She's clearly a stunningly beautiful woman with a unique charm and a heroic air!

"Professor Lin, you're awake?"

Guan Hongying walked forward hesitantly. She was used to shouting at the top of her lungs, so when she suddenly lowered her voice, she sounded even more flustered and didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

"Um... Xiao Chuan said you're feeling weak, so I just made a stew of sauerkraut and glass noodles with fresh lard and pork belly. Would you like to have a bite while it's hot?"

As she spoke, she sat down next to Lin Hai, her face slightly flushed.

Lin Hai subconsciously swallowed, unsure whether it was because of the oily, fragrant pork stew with vermicelli or because of the stark contrast in Guan Hongying's appearance.

"You, you're Comrade Guan?"

Lin Hai stammered as he spoke, his gold-rimmed glasses almost falling off.

"Hmm~"

Guan Hongying gently placed the bowl on the table, her eyes burning as she stared at Lin Hai's handsome face, which, though thin, was still strikingly handsome, her heart pounding wildly.

She cleared her throat and said softly, "Don't listen to the rumors. I'm just usually busy and a little too lazy to tidy up. Besides, I have to raise a few daughters to make a living, so I can't keep things under control if I'm not a bit stern. Actually... actually, I have a pretty good temper."

Lin Chuan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, almost burst out laughing.

Good-tempered?

You kicked that vicious dog at the village entrance two meters away just the day before yesterday!

Lin Hai coughed twice. Although his stomach was growling with hunger, his scholarly pride made him force himself to sit up straight.

"Comrade Guan, one should not accept undeserved rewards. Although I am down on my luck, I will absolutely not be a gigolo..."

"Dad!" Lin Chuan pushed open the door and walked in, interrupting his father's spellcasting.

"Who said you're a kept man? We're legally married, with both families supporting each other. Besides, this is also a form of 'technology investment'!"

As he spoke, Lin Chuan waved to the outside, and the next second, Daya, Siya, Liuya, and Qiya walked in together.

These girls looked like bandits when they were butchering the pig, but now that Guan Hongying had ordered them to wash their faces and change into clean clothes, they looked as fresh and beautiful as wild lilies in the mountains!

The Guan family's daughters were all quite beautiful, and with Guan Hongying's competence, the girls had rosy complexions from being well-fed. However, their eyes revealed a hint of wildness, as well as a timidity stemming from their lack of formal education.

"Dad, look! Aunt Guan raised seven daughters all by herself, it wasn't easy for her. The girls can't even write their own names now! You're a professor at Peking University, keeping you in the pigsty is a waste of your talents!"

Lin Chuan pointed at his sisters, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"You're right here, teaching these older sisters to read and write. This is what we call 'knowledge changing destiny,' this is what we call 'supporting literacy initiatives'!"

Upon hearing about "teaching and nurturing people" and "supporting construction," Lin Hai's previously bent spine instantly straightened, and a sense of mission as a scholar arose spontaneously!

He looked at Guan Hongying: "Comrade Guan, is this really true? You truly want the children to go to school?"

Lin Chuan and Guan Hongying's eyes lit up, and they exchanged a glance.

Sure enough, his father had the integrity of a scholar... even offering a way out requires a special consideration...

"Really? Absolutely!" Guan Hongying laughed and seized the opportunity. "As long as Brother Lin is willing to stay and teach them, I'll take care of all their meals and clothes for all four seasons! Even if you want a flying dragon, I'll go up the mountain and shoot it down for you! As long as you... don't look down on us for being clumsy."

Looking at the girl in front of him, eager for knowledge, then at Guan Hongying's expectant face, and finally at the aroma of the pork stew with vermicelli that wafted into his nose...

Lin Hai took a deep breath and shakily picked up the bowl of soft rice.

"In that case... I, Lin, will respectfully comply."

Slurp a mouthful of vermicelli coated in lard into your mouth, and the tender pork belly melts in your mouth!

Lin Hai's eyes welled up with tears.

Screw the pigsty! Screw the five black categories!

This gigolo... cough, the power of knowledge is really tempting.
