Chen Donghe is reborn in 1979, recalling how Li Ergou and Li Hongmei conspired against his family in his previous life. He resolves to protect his family and ensure a better life, starting by confronting Li Ergou and recovering a fraudulent IOU.
Chen Donghe activates a hunting system, which grants him enhanced abilities. He quickly demonstrates his improved hunting skills by catching deer and wolves, planning to sell them to support his family and pay off debts. He secures a crossbow from the village chief to aid in his hunting.
Li Ergou and Li Hongmei confront Chen Donghe and his family for the debt. Chen Donghe exposes their deceit, forcing Li Hongmei to confess and Li Ergou to sign an IOU for 500 yuan in emotional distress compensation. He also sells his game to 'Master Kui' for a significant sum, bringing financial relief to his family.
While searching for wild vegetables, Chen Donghe's family encounters a bear. Donghe intervenes, kills the bear, and secures a valuable 'golden gallbladder.' He shares the bear meat with the villagers, gaining their respect and support. He also uses this opportunity to further solidify his relationship with Li Xue, promising to marry her.
Chen Donghe visits his elder sister, who has faced hardship due to his past mistakes. He brings her meat and money, and through Master Kui's connections, secures a prestigious 'iron rice bowl' job as a ticket inspector at the county train station for his second sister, ensuring her financial stability and social standing.
Upon learning that Uncle Zhang and other villagers are trapped in a wolf den, Chen Donghe rushes to their aid alone. He single-handedly defeats a large pack of wolves, saving the villagers and further cementing his reputation as a brave and capable protector of the village.
Chen Donghe learns of Li Ergou's plot to hire thugs to harm his family. He uses intelligence from his father and contacts with Master Kui to expose Li Ergou's father, Li Jinbao, and his involvement in a national treasonous plot, which leads to their downfall. He confronts Li Ergou, who is left to fend for himself against the dangers of the wilderness.
Chen Donghe orchestrates the exposure of Li Jinbao and his son, ensuring they face consequences for their crimes and treasonous activities. With the threats eliminated and his family's honor restored, Chen Donghe looks forward to marrying Xiaoxue and building a prosperous life together, having secured their future and the safety of his community.
