Chapter 1029 Unexpected Past_1

Bai Fu was not a native of Back Mountain Village; shortly after his marriage, with his wife and newly born eldest daughter in tow, he left Maple Leaves Village and settled down in Back Mountain Village.

The reason was simple: since childhood, he always had everything he wanted, like calling the wind and summoning the rain, because he was the firstborn son of his family and the only child allowed to study. His father was a merchant who had made a bit of money and wished for their family to become an Agricultural and Scholarly Family, with hopes of having an officer among their ranks. Unfortunately, Bai's journey in academia halted at the level of Scholar.

He felt that it was because he had failed the Imperial Examination that the Family did not allow him to become the clan leader, instead handing the position to his worthless brother who could only scrabble in the earth for food. Out of indignation, he moved to Maple Leaves Village.
