A Tough Farm Girl Picks Up a Husband to Spoil

Su Ruo is the village tough girl of Jianxi Village, famous far and wide. With a single bamboo pole, she nearly beat her fiancé and his fox-spirit mistress to a pulp. Everyone in the village says she is destined to grow old alone.

Su Ruo refuses to back down and brings home a husband she picked up herself.

Her husband is devastatingly handsome, but frail and weak, unable to shoulder a load or lift a finger.

Su Ruo says she doesn’t mind. She can just support him, right? Surely she can spare him a bite to eat.

Her husband is learned and well-mannered, just a little too shy. Whenever she comes close, he tries to dodge her.

“Miss, shouldn’t we get to know each other a little better...?”

“You’ve been living at my place for more than ten days. Isn’t that enough? While it’s the slack season, let’s have a baby. You can lie there and do nothing. I’ll do all the hard work myself.”

The village had never seen a man so handsome, and he could read, too. The women and girls looked at Su Ruo with envy and gossiped about her behind her back.

Once the man recovered and made something of himself, he was sure to divorce that little firecracker!

But they waited and waited. By the time Su Ruo had become an official’s wife and their children were running all over the place, they still hadn’t seen a divorce notice.

Then they learned something even more astonishing.

The official was actually henpecked!
