In the 1980s, I Refused to Be Left Home Alone and Got Spoiled by a Rugged Truck Driver

Period setting, countryside, both leads are devoted only to each other, rough trucker VS timid wife

No rebirth, no System, no transmigration into a book

[A story of Li Ying, who spent twenty years living meekly, growing and prospering with a man’s love and protection.]

The day Li Ying, timid and insecure since childhood, was sold into the Zhou family, she became a widow.

Her in-laws schemed against her, men lusted after her, and women called her a seductress.

Her life had sunk into the mud.

Li Ying resigned herself to barely scraping by, but the village troublemaker, a rough trucker with a steady job behind the wheel in Qingshuiwan, put money and ration coupons into her hands.

“Eat and drink your fill. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”

When the villagers bullied her,

“Stop crying! All you ever do is cry!”

The man scolded her for being useless, frustrated that she wouldn’t stand up for herself.

Yet he awkwardly wiped away her tears with his calloused thumb.

Li Ying placed all her hopes and trust in this incorrigible man.

When her in-laws pressured her to have a child,

Li Ying said, “I’m going to remarry!”

She thought the womanizer was only playing along, and never imagined she could be with him openly as his wife. Then one day, the man stood in Qingshuiwan with their child in his arms, heedless of what people thought, and announced that he would marry her. Li Ying burst into tears.

After a lifetime without love, she had finally found a man who would cherish her for the rest of her life.
