Widowed and Hounded by In-Laws, My Second Husband Becomes My Support

[1990s + everyday life + rural setting + family and neighborhood affairs + a touch of ensemble cast + drama + social realism + no rebirth + no transmigration + no golden finger + widow + remarriage] In 1990, at Haigang Steelworks, Su Wan, a teacher at the factory’s elementary school, found her husband, Zha Gang, critically injured after being killed in the line of duty. Before he had even been taken out of emergency care, her mother-in-law arrived with the whole family to lay claim to his secure job, pressuring Su Wan to give the injury-replacement position to her good-for-nothing younger brother-in-law.

When she refused to give in, her in-laws made a scene at the school, causing a public disturbance. Her butcher brother-in-law blocked her way every day and threatened to ruin her reputation and destroy her livelihood, driving her toward desperation.

After twenty-one years of meekness, Su Wan finally stood her ground, refusing to compromise on her late husband’s dignity. In her darkest hour, the upright doctor Lin Wenbin stepped in to protect her, and a young deputy factory director stood up for justice on her behalf.

She had planned to spend the rest of her life alone, but someone came to her with a sincere heart, shielding her from every rotten person and every ugly affair, and giving her the steadiest affection and support of the 1990s.
