A Young Bride in the 1960s: My Educated Youth Husband Spoils Me Rotten

In 1965, the family is so poor they can barely scrape by. There aren’t enough grain coupons to eat, work points are hard to earn, and life is too bitter to swallow.

Lin Wanxing’s father is honest, her mother is frail, and her younger siblings are still small. The whole family’s burden rests on her shoulders.

She harvests wheat, feeds pigs, spins thread, and earns work points, working from dawn to dusk just to keep her family from going hungry.

Then a sent-down youth from the city, Shen Zhinian, arrives in the village.

Fair-skinned and refined, he knows how to read and write. Shunned because of his family background, he gives all his tenderness to her alone.

People accuse her of reaching above her station and call her ungrateful.

Lin Wanxing clenches her fists. “I’ve done nothing wrong. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to live a good life?”

He shields her from the wind and rain,

and she serves him hot meals and warm soup.

He teaches her to read and write,

and she protects him from mistreatment.

In the hardest years of the 1960s,

she takes in a down-and-out sent-down youth,

never expecting him to spoil her until she becomes the happiest young wife in the whole village!
