The Adorable Husband of the Sixties: His Tough Wife Is Fiercely Protective

Gu Qingxu, a young urbanite sent to the countryside, is fair-skinned, beautiful, frail, and sickly, an easy target for everyone to bully.

Then one day, Su He, the toughest woman in the village, corners him against a wall.

Everyone thinks she’s about to beat him to death, and even he is so scared his eyes turn red.

But Su He simply wipes the mud from his face, presses a hot meat bun into his hands, and says gruffly, “I’ll look after you from now on. If anyone dares bully you, tell me!”

From then on, a pretty little shadow follows Su He everywhere.

When Su He works in the fields, he brings her water. When she gets into a fight, he cheers her on.

The villagers grumble enviously, “Su He’s doomed to a life of hard work. Looking after a man is even more tiring than raising a son!”

Su He plants her hands on her hips. “I don’t mind! My Qingxu’s hands are for painting, not for labor!”

Later, Gu Qingxu becomes a celebrated painter, and countless people beg him for a painting without success.

Yet he paints only one woman’s brows, coaxing her gently: “Hehe, what would you like to eat today? I’ll make it for you. Don’t cook so much, you’ll hurt your hands.”
