The Lazy Wife of the 1970s: She Gets Rich with Her Kids and Dazzles the Whole Village

“Have you heard? Ji Mingsui, that lazy shrew, actually broke off her engagement and turned around to marry the filthy, scruffy brute at the end of the village, the one with two kids in tow!”

The whole village waits for a laugh, betting the pampered Ji Mingsui won't last three days before that brute beats her half to death.

But then

“Good heavens! Ji Mingsui's family is eating braised pork at every meal again, and she's dressed the two kids in brand-new polyester clothes!”

“This is incredible! The leaders came in a little jeep to give Ji Mingsui a hundred yuan in prize money!”

Her scumbag ex-fiancé from the original story shows up with his city green-tea girlfriend to show off, only for Ji Mingsui to fling a letter of denunciation at him: “You stole my brother's place and took my family's hard-earned money. Now give it all back, with interest!”

And what about that supposedly violent, ill-fated, penniless brute?

Once he washes off the mud, he turns out to be a top-tier hunk with an eight-pack. He stuffs all his belongings into Ji Mingsui's arms and spoils her to the heavens. “Wifey, it's windy out. Let's go inside and count our money.”
