The Little Brat of the 1970S

Dads raising kids: as long as they don't get hurt, that's good enough. Demons raising kids: as long as they're still breathing, that's good enough. Little Taishui was a baby raised by demons, struggling through one life-threatening ordeal after another every day. Thankfully, less than a month later, she was sent to a new home, where she began living a normal life and was doted on by her family. In Luo Family Village, everyone knew that Luo Tianxiang had another son. The whole family went from hopeful to disappointed. But the very next day, Luo Tianxiang excitedly announced that he had a daughter. The chubby little girl didn't look like a newborn at all. The boy, on the other hand, looked so frail he might not survive. That was more like it, considering he'd been expected to be difficult to raise even before birth. Still, Liu Rong had insisted on having him. The villagers thought Luo Tianxiang was just happy for the moment, and that sooner or later he'd see the girl as nothing but a burden. But everyone in Luo Tianxiang's family treasured her, and they even named her Luo Baobei. The little boy who wasn't expected to survive made it, and he was healthier than most children. Grandpa Luo, who had broken his leg, could walk normally again, and Liu Rong, who had been frail, regained her color. When Little Taishui was three, she saw an exceptionally handsome little boy. His face was terribly pale, though, and he coughed up blood from time to time. He looked like he didn't have long to live. Remembering what the villagers had said about child brides, Little Taishui toddled over to Xiao Jincheng. “I can help you live to a hundred. Will you be my child bridegroom?” Eight-year-old Xiao Jincheng looked at the little bean and sneered coldly. “If you can keep me alive that long, I'll work like an ox and a horse for you.” In the years that followed, Xiao Jincheng willingly served Little Taishui, Luo Baobei, like an ox and a horse for the rest of his life.
