[Era, countryside, realism, group portraits, filthy parents, forced love, rough guy VS little widow + the cutest age difference.
Yufang has been a widow for four years and has been looked down upon by Murakami.
Widow Liu pointed at her nose and scolded her as a "broom star", while her father-in-law cowered in the corner and pretended to be deaf and dumb. People in the village said that the Zhao family's little daughter-in-law had a hard life and a bad husband, and whoever got into her would be unlucky.
But no one knows what happened in the woodshed that night——
The man's rough palm covered her mouth, and his hot breath sprayed on her neck, "Don't move." She thought it was a nightmare.
But when she ran for her life barefooted under the moonlit night and ran into the man's arms, Zhou Jianguo took off his coat and wrapped it around her, "Don't be afraid... Slow down."
He protected her behind him, with a cold light in his eyes, "If you lay a finger on her again, I will destroy you."
Under the earthen wall of the west wing, his rough hands applied medicine on her. When his fingertips touched the fingerprints on her neck, he breathed heavily.
He said word by word, "Yufang, you have been with me. I am rough, but I love you."
He fought for her, blocked gossip for her, and stayed outside the woodshed late at night until dawn.
When the paranoid rough guy turned into a maniac who doted on his wife, when the forced pull turned into a two-way rush, this "living widow" who was looked down upon by the whole village became a woman that everyone envied.
