#Marrying to Bring Good Fortune #Ancient-Era Farming #Building Wealth #Mutual Healing
At just sixteen, Lin Sui is traded for money by her greedy older brother and hurriedly married to Zhou Yan, a frail, chronically ill man, to bring him good fortune.
Barely after the wedding ceremony, her cruel mother-in-law throws her out. With nothing to her name, she takes shelter in a ramshackle house in a desolate village.
With little food or money, they’re met with cold stares and jeers. Everyone is waiting for them to freeze or starve to death.
Lin Sui refuses to accept her fate. She cleans up the small yard and raises chickens to make a living, improving her methods until the eggs keep coming and sell for a high price.
She earns money to support the family and cares devotedly for her sick husband. Zhou Yan cherishes and protects his wife, sharing both hardship and happiness with her.
The young couple join forces to farm and make a living, building up a chicken-raising business. From having nothing to living in comfort and security, these ordinary people beat the odds and bring warmth and healing to each other.
Two filial sons and grandsons.
