Transmigrating to the Ancient Times with Lu’s Convenience Chapter 5 Discussion

Chapter 5

I've only just started reading so I don't have much to say, but it seems promising so far. It's very realistic, in that the ger/bio is actually a "manly" man who is cold-hearted and ruthless for the sake of his family. Family as in his brothers, not including MC because right now MC is just a half-dead man ML paid to marry. 🙂Something I'm confused about:

Spoiler

The fine for being unmarried past 18 will cost ML 3 taels while marrying the half-dead suicidal MC costs 10 taels, so why did ML do it? ML doesn't care for MC's survival and knows MC probably won't last long, and even ML's brother complained that they needed the money to get through winter. MC is an extra mouth they need to feed and will only increase their burden. Is the 3 tael fine something that ML has to pay every year? Maybe it is. 🤔

This is completely different from My Favorite Manly Husband, The Only Favorite Ugly Husband and Li Jin's Daily Farming Life where although the ger (ML) is physically manly, they have a more soft-hearted and caring personality, and is very obedient to their husband (MC). MC will then influence ML to become more independent and ambitious. But this ML is already like that from the beginning. 😍
