Reborn in 1982: My Father-in-Law's Family Forces Me to Marry

Reborn in 1982: My Father-in-Law's Family Forces Me to Marry Plot:

Lin Chuan is reborn to the dusk before a rainstorm in 1982. Just after picking up half a bag of rotten sweet potatoes from the scrap yard, he’s blocked at his courtyard gate by his father-in-law Li Jianguo and three sons—their daughter Li Wanqing is pregnant with his child, and he must gather the betrothal gifts to marry her within three days. In his previous life, he fled the marriage out of fear of poverty, leading to Wanqing’s desperate abortion and subsequent depression until her death; he spent his remaining years alone, clutching her old scarf. This time, he hides a “1982 money-making code” (reselling overstocked aluminum lunch boxes from state-owned factories), pretends to comply meekly, and secretly goes to the county town to find connections. But he doesn’t know that Wanqing, in the inner room, is holding abortion pills stolen from the clinic, her tears falling on a note that says “I’ll wait for you”—she fears her pregnancy will burden this man who can’t even afford to eat.
