The Qin Family Bun Shop is the most popular bun shop in the old neighborhood. The reason is that the second daughter of the Qin family, who makes the buns, is famous far and wide for her beauty. People call her the Little Xi Shi of the bun shop.
Sadly, everyone whispers that Mrs. Qin favors boys over girls. She spoils her fat, useless son while mercilessly exploiting her younger daughter.
One day, Qin Xiaowan was out delivering buns when her mother tricked her into marrying a widower. While trying to escape, she accidentally stumbled into an older man’s home... Three months later, Qin Xiaowan discovered she was pregnant.
She was terrified. After arguing with her biased mother in the dead of winter, she was locked out of the bun shop and nearly froze into a snowman. When Qin Xiaowan woke up after fainting, she found herself in the home of the older man she had spent just one night with.
To her surprise, he was not only willing to take her in and give her a place to stay, but also to raise the baby!
Qin Xiaowan promised she would eat less and work hard. Once she had earned some money, she would leave with the baby and never cause the older man any trouble.
Unexpectedly, the older man cornered her against the wall, his meaning unclear, and said, “Wanwan doesn’t have to work. You only need to say, like you did that night, ‘Uncle, help me,’ and I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
The Qin family thought their eldest son was their lucky charm, the reason the bun shop prospered. They saw their second daughter as a burden, good for nothing but earning dowry money for her brother. If she ran away, so be it. Sooner or later, she’d come crawling back to the impoverished older man, and then she’d have to accept her fate and work as a drudge at the bun shop for the rest of her life.
But after Qin Xiaowan was driven away, business at the Qin Family Bun Shop got worse by the day. Eventually, they couldn’t even pay the rent. As the family was thrown out and left homeless, they happened to see the richest man in Hangzhou, Mr. Ji, embracing his beloved wife on the big screen in the central plaza as he announced...
The novel is superbly written, and Qin Xiaowan and Mr. Ji's good buddies are vividly portrayed by the author. Mr. Ji is a good man of flesh and blood, so he gives the author a thumbs up. Hope to write more good works.
