[Era, countryside, cool articles, group portraits, short stories about parents. Rough guy VS pretty widow + slap in the face and abuse + running in both directions.
In Huangtupo in northern Shanxi in the 1970s, when Lin Xiulian's husband left, the baby in her arms had just turned one year old.
Her mother-in-law deducted her pension, her aunts were gossiping, and even the tofu seller at the entrance of the village dared to give her a short pound.
Everyone said that she was a soft persimmon without a backer and could be manipulated by others.
Until that day, the hunter with a notorious reputation at the head of the village blocked the door of her yard with half a wild boar on his shoulders.
He kicked his mother-in-law who came to the door to make trouble, and swept his black eyes over everyone: "From now on, I will take care of her affairs."
Livelihood is a mountain on her shoulders, and he carries it for her; rumors are a needle that pricks her heart, and he blocks them for her.
When restrained concern turned into blatant preference, when hidden feelings met with worldly criticism, she finally no longer flinched:
"Whoever dares to gossip again, I, Lin Xiulian, will be the first to refuse!"
The scumbag relative was slapped in the face, the tongue-tied woman shut her mouth, and the wind on the loess slope finally brought her warmth.
