After the Family Split, I Unearthed Antiques and Gold

About the story

Forty-two-year-old Li Shuisheng dropped out of high school to care for his parents and pay for his two younger brothers' education, laboring for more than twenty years. When the family receives 800,000 yuan in demolition compensation, he gets none of it, only a dilapidated old house. Yet hidden inside the house are silver dollars, gold and antiques worth five million yuan, left by his ancestors. The wealth gives him a chance to treat his injured leg, while fully exposing the favoritism and scheming within his family. After leaving his family of origin, Li Shuisheng uses his twenty years of skills to form a renovation crew and rekindles his relationship with high school classmate Wang Xiuqin, who also sacrificed her youth for her younger brother. In the end, he gains a home, a career and a marriage, and learns to draw a clear line between fulfilling his duties to his parents and living for himself.
