In 1982, Su Maisui had spent eight years working herself to the bone, supporting her husband as he climbed the ranks to become a supply and marketing cooperative cadre. Now he was keeping a pampered young woman in the city, while her wicked mother-in-law plotted to trade her for a bride price and sell her off to a bachelor from the neighboring brigade. To hell with being a virtuous wife and mother. She was done with this miserable life! Instead, she set her sights on Lu Zheng, the hot-tempered, rugged veteran who repaired trucks at the edge of the village. His former wife, a sent-down youth, had just cheated on him. He had money in his pockets, and plenty of fire in his belly.
In the repair shed at midnight, Su Maisui leaned against an oil-stained tire, her fingertips gliding over the man's rough arm. “Brother Lu, I need someone to back me up, and you need a wife who'll care for you. Why don't we team up and make a life together?”
Lu Zheng's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night. He tossed aside his oversized wrench and pinned the alluring woman against the truck bed, his scorching breath warming her ears. “I'm not playing house. If I take you, you'll be sleeping beside me on a warm kang every night from now on. Do you dare say yes?”
See how a clearheaded heroine tears down a no-good man, gets a wild and rugged veteran wrapped around her finger, and makes a fortune on the crest of reform, turning her second marriage in the 1980s into a life full of prosperity and warmth!
Why is nobody watching this? The female lead is independent and clear-headed, the male lead dotes on his wife, and their joint efforts to build a good life are worth watching.
Not bad, I just started watching and it seems pretty good.
