In the countryside of the 1970s, Cheng Xiaocao was reborn and returned to the summer after graduating from junior high school. There were only three days left before the acceptance letter was delivered. In her previous life, she had excellent academic performance but was deprived of the qualification to go to higher education by her family. She was forced to earn work points all day long and serve the whole family. She was eventually used as a bargaining chip to marry a butcher in the next village. She suffered domestic violence, three miscarriages, and finally died tragically at a young age. However, due to the preference of her grandparents and the strong protection of her aunt, her cousin Cheng Xue successfully completed her high school entrance examination and entered college, and her life was smooth.
After rebirth, Cheng Xiaocao determined to change his destiny. Faced with the majesty of her grandfather, the meanness of her grandmother, the strong suppression of her eldest aunt, the secret calculation of her third aunt, and the cowardice and silence of her parents, she no longer accepted the situation. At the dinner table, she defied her family in public and fought for her right to study; secretly, she secretly prepared for exams and guarded her admission notice while hunting pigweed and earning work points.
With her wisdom and tenacity, she overcame the family's difficulties and calculations time and time again, resisting the rumor that "girls are useless in studying", and finally broke through the shackles of her native family and entered the classroom of the county high school. From then on, while taking care of her studies and farm work, she accumulated strength and gradually got rid of the control of her family. With knowledge and hard work, she fought back in the barren years. Not only did she earn a bright future for herself, she also worked hard to protect her mother who was equally weak but loved her deeply, and finally lived to be the light that illuminated her life.
