The Big Shot in the Village

Chen Erdan, thirty years old, is called the village guardian by the villagers. Three tiled houses, two acres of thin land, a dozen chickens, and a second-hand Wuling Sunshine bought for eight thousand yuan are all his possessions. The young and strong in the village have all gone out to work, leaving the women to guard the empty courtyards—life goes on uneventfully, and no one expects him to amount to anything. But it is precisely this guardian, whom no one thinks highly of, who becomes the most eye-catching presence in the small village where undercurrents surge. — Description from novelcodex.org
