he made disposable fine diapers when others can barely afford to make new clothes once a year, babies potty so often and are diapered for a few years! If he has more kids he'll repeat it. That's just so much money thrown away when he can pay the sister to wash them or something! And he wants to pass that habit onto his siblings saying they can afford such things. And that just drives me bonkers, like such habits could drive you to the poor house! Especially in that era! Like they don't have the same level of wealth that ML and MC do, they who make multiple recipes and hunt big game in the mountains for thousands of taels. The dad's savings got wiped out not once but twice (once by the divorce/greedy mother & son and the second time the house caved in and the dad got hurt) and both time the younger two siblings (mainly the girl) had to be the ones working and saving up money. MC can be so snooty about it because modern sensibilities feeling like he's different because it's for his benefit but then calls his husband a spendthrift and that he'll drive them to the poor house from his random shopping like honey you guys have the same habits. You want to give pigs ice rather than build shelter for them. You can both be bad with money management.

the younger siblings are worried about their dad changing and mistreating them if they get a stepmom especially after they meet a character who was in that scenario, MC is like "how dare you accuse our dad of that? Dad is young and doesn't deserve to be alone, he won't change." But like their bio mom wasn't the best to them as a parent always favoring the eldest male (not ger) and the dad was so focused on farming he ignored the wrongdoings she did to all her kids (the original goods was the most mistreated while the others were neglected/undisciplined) if MC didn't keep him in check he'd probably still do it. But MC won't be allowed to be as involved if the dad remarries.

THE ORIGINAL GOODS HAVE BEEN REBORN WITH AWARENESS OF THEIR PAST LIFE AS THEIR OLD BODY'S CHILD THATS JUST SO WEIRD AND HOW THEY TREAT HIM IS JUST ARGH. I CANT GET BEHIND IT.

he is not poor man he have saving which is little different in this kind of story. ML have sick bother because of which ML have not married till MC came through. Both parents are dead and no relation with other relatives.

he was already living in countryside before he came through. His personality is kind of eye for an eye. The real tang xu was given hard time by his mother but after MC came through he gave the mother the hard time. MC was not real son which was kinda obvious. MC father kind of support MC and help him.

The MC transmigrated after dying and taking over a side character in a novel he read with the same name. The original passed away from illness and a bad mother. He knows he needs to turn his luck around and begins building better relationships with those who are good to him. The original story was about a ML who becomes a general after feeling rejected by original side character. MC recreates a way to properly reject him to continue that ML's future directory. MC then looks for another ML for himself to find happiness and this is where MC's life has moved beyond the novel he read. The original ML is rarely heard of again and almost forgotten. The rest of the story has turned to about MC just living his life and his relationships with the people around him.

There's an ongoing joke about how MC's ML and brother-in-law can't cook. The author should have just told this joke once and allow the characters to develop. Unfortunately, author used this old joke many times for humor. I believe any person can learn to cook basic, uncomplicated foods, but author enjoys the extreme of starving characters because of how bad they cook. Another old joke is coming up with naming babies. Out of a bunch of names they use generic labels. Author also carried on a lot about child raising anecdotes. And my least favorite was throwing away the cloth diapers. I understand if MC can't stand reusing diapers, but he should have allowed those who were willing to clean them to take them. There are expensive services in today's society that offer clean cloth diapers for conscientious parents and will take away and clean the dirty, cloth diapers. I found this stinky diaper joke unrealistic and not funny.

but the father is too ready, to quick to try to hit MC. It was never funny in the beginning and it still isn't now, and I've read as far as chapter 181. Spoiled? More like violent/threatening.
