When Su Yunzhi opened her eyes, she became a girl who could be manipulated in the county town in the 1980s. Her stepmother wanted to sell her to a widower in his forties in exchange for a bride price, but her biological father pretended to be deaf and mute. She didn't even bother to cry, so she picked up her bags and got on the boat to Qingluo Island.
Others said she was crazy.
Dao Zhou's family is poor and broken, with two children in tow. The man Zhou Haizheng has been fishing all year round, he talks a lot but is tough, and he is full of wind and waves; the wife of the Zhou family is cruel, and she can make audible scratches every day; the rice tank at home has bottomed out, the fishing net is leaking, and she has to save even the little fish soup in the pot.
Everyone was waiting to see if she wouldn't last three days.
But Su Yunzhi refused to accept his fate.
She can read accounts, divide goods, calculate routes, get a good price out of a basket of worthless fish, and turn a shaky poor family into a decent family bit by bit.
First, the stove heated up.
The child dared to approach her again.
Later, the drying ground, the tidal flat, the second boat, and the small storefronts in the county were all included in the Zhou family's life inch by inch.
Some people are jealous, some are mischievous, and some want to climb up the Zhou family's path.
But Zhou Haizheng stood behind her. No matter how strong the wind was or how fierce the waves were, no one could easily touch her.
This is a woman's abrupt change from a life of being sold to a life of being the head of her own family.
It is also the story of a couple who went from living together to supporting a whole family side by side.
