Yu Niang had a miserable life. When she was 8 years old, her mother passed away after giving birth to her younger sister. Her father could not bear the pain of raising a child alone, so half a year after her death, he married a stepmother for the two sisters.
She worked hard, took care of the children and worked hard, and the young stepmother took on the heavy burden alone. A few months later, the stepmother gave birth to a son, and the father and the stepmother intensified their efforts. Yuniang pitied her weak sister and never resisted. Until Yuniang turned 14, the stepmother arranged a marriage for her. Brother Nian from the same village was 5 years older than Yuniang. I was willing to work hard and never complained. I had a bedridden old lady at home and a thin younger brother. But I was willing to work hard in the new year and finally saved some money at the age of 19. I asked someone to go to Yu Niang's house to propose marriage. The stepmother agreed on the spot as soon as she heard the money was given, and she looked forward to a good day to marry off this dragster.
Yu Niang also looked forward to marrying Brother Danian. She knew that Danian was an upright person and she wanted to marry him and serve her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law well. She begged Brother Danian to take over and raise her sister. Just like that, the wedding day came, and on the day of the wedding, Danian was in high spirits. All the men in the village knew that Yuniang had a good face, and they were jealous. Some of them laughed at Yuniang for being poor and made dirty jokes about Yuniang. Danian couldn't swallow this breath and started fighting with several people. During the pushing and shoving, one of them hit Danian on the head with a hard object. Danian died on the spot.
On the wedding day, Yuniang lost her husband.
The unreliable father, the paralyzed mother-in-law, the weak brother-in-law, Yu Niang's life
