The Beloved Darling of the 1970S Cries in Her Rugged Man's Arms

Chen Yiyi returned to 1972, to the very moment her cousin pushed her into the river and the “mute” laborer Fang An pulled her out. In her previous life, she looked down on him for being poor and working as a butcher, never knowing that he would die in a raging fire after saving her entire family. In this life, she lay against the man’s drenched chest, listening to his heart pound like a drum. Her eyes grew teary as she said in a sweet, plaintive voice, “Brother An, carry me home.” The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed rapidly, his muscles taut as stone. He took off his still-warm, patched coat and wrapped it tightly around her. His movements were rough, yet tender in every way. From then on, Chen Yiyi lived a happy, prosperous life, gathering wild boars in the mountains and catching fat fish in the river. Her awful relatives wanted a share? The three Su brothers, all fiercely protective of their sister, chased them away with sticks! Under Chen Yiyi’s guidance, the Su family became the village’s first household with ten thousand yuan in savings. When everyone said Fang An wasn’t good enough for her, the silent man was making waves on the black market, all so he could buy her a fashionable watch. With red-rimmed eyes, he pinned her against a woodpile and said in a low, trembling voice, “Yiyi, don’t leave me.”
