Born into a Poor Family at Four: I Used the Imperial Exams to Protect My Three Sisters

[Rebirth into the Womb + Historical Farming Life + Imperial Examinations + Sibling Bonds + Building Wealth] Reborn into ancient times, Zhou Xiaozhou becomes the youngest son of a poor farming family. He has three older sisters who dote on him, while the entire family is expected to sacrifice everything to pay for his male cousin’s education. At first, Zhou Xiaozhou thinks he’ll get to enjoy a carefree childhood as the family’s precious little boy. But when he’s just four and a half, his eldest aunt decides to sell his fifteen-year-old eldest sister into six years of hard labor at an embroidery workshop—for a mere four taels of silver! That’s the last straw! Furious, Zhou Xiaozhou clings to his sister’s leg and exposes the hidden traps in the contract right in front of everyone, managing to win back her freedom against all odds. But their family is desperately poor, and his three sisters have little say over their own futures. So, what’s a little boy to do? Simple! Make money first, then hit the books! His eldest sister is good with numbers, so he’ll help her get into business. One day, she’ll become a successful shopkeeper! His second sister loves reading, so he’ll support her education and help her open a school of her own! His third sister loves raising chickens, so he’ll help her turn selling eggs into her first fortune! And what about himself? He enters school at just four and a half, passes the county and prefectural examinations at ten, and earns the title of **Licentiate (Xiucai)** at eleven! Years later, the Zhou family finally leaves poverty behind. All three sisters have successful careers of their own, their parents can finally hold their heads high, and the once-struggling farming household is now home to two Xiucai scholars! Puffing out his little chest, Zhou Xiaozhou proudly declares, “Don’t worry, Sisters! I’ve still got the provincial and palace examinations to conquer. Just wait until I become an Imperial Graduate!” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Born into a Poor Family at Four: I Used the Imperial Exams to Protect My Three Sisters — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
