About This Novel
Sijiu's engagement was broken off by the Wang family, and the whole Repulse Bay knew about it. Those whose wives had died or those over forty came to propose marriage, which made Sijiu Niang very angry. Her sister-in-law was so angry that she threw the broom and kicked her out. The homeless Sijiu, desperate for life, threw himself into the river, but he did not want to be saved by the mute who came to bathe at the river. The mute took the unconscious Sijiu home, blindfolded her and changed her into his own clothes. After waking up, Sijiu found that his clothes had been changed and his innocence was gone. He beat and beat the mute man and cried until he was unconscious. After coming out of the mute's house, she went to drown herself in the river again, but was rescued by the mute who was chasing her. The mute carried her back to his thatched house again. After Sijiu fell asleep, she developed a high fever. Mute took care of her carefully until Sijiu got better. Facing the reality, Sijiu worried about his sick mother at home. When she felt better, she changed into her own clothes and wanted to go back and see her. But before reaching the village entrance, he saw his mother and sister-in-law talking and laughing in the fields. When Sijiu was kicked out again, her heart was filled with despair, but she didn't want to die. She wanted to live, and live better than others. Sijiu, who had nowhere to go, cried helplessly in the dark night. Once again, the mute took her home. Although he was mute and silent, he understood Sijiu's thoughts very well. She slept on his bed, and he slept on the bench with a board propped up on it. He had never done anything wrong to her. Sijiu settled in the mute family and began to manage the mute family. An old-fashioned girl whose engagement was broken off went to live with a mute living alone. This matter was talked about by the entire Repulse Bay people after dinner. Sijiu's parents and brother and sister-in-law came to Mute to ask for a bride price. Mute found some silver from somewhere and sent them away. Then he bought a red candle, a red quilt, and red clothes, and coaxed and deceived Sijiu into marrying him into the family. If someone said that the mute was a fool in front of Sijiu again, Sijiu would smile disdainfully. Only when he sleeps under the same quilt can he know whether he is stupid or not! After becoming a mute, Sijiu discovered that life could still be lived like this. Plowing the fields, farming, hunting in the mountains, and collecting herbs, the two of them are everywhere. Sijiu wants to build a thatched house into a big brick house, she also wants to open up a piece of land in the back hill, she also wants to go to Anxi County to do some small business, she also wants to buy a shop and a house in Anxi County, she also wants to...
