Abandoned on My Wedding Night, I’m Kissed by the Village Bully in a Haystack

On her wedding night, the groom runs off with the money, while her wicked mother-in-law frames her and demands repayment.

Wicked mother-in-law: “Sell her to three bachelors as their shared wife and get fifty yuan in bride price!”

Just as she closes her eyes in despair, Zhao Ye, the village bully, kicks down the Li family’s door.

He kicks open the woodshed door and pulls her out of despair. He snaps a wooden post to intimidate the crowd and roars, “You dare lay a hand on my woman?”

That night, he stuffs a wad of “Great Unity” bills and a gold ring into her arms. His voice is hoarse, his gaze burning: “Consider the money a loan. The interest... you can pay in the flesh.”

Facing the whole village’s jealousy and schemes, Li Chuntao grips her tailor’s shears and works her sewing machine, with the most untouchable man in town standing behind her.

From paying off someone else’s debts to becoming the queen of fashion, who says a woman in the 1980s can’t become her own guiding light?
