[The 1980s + Rebirth and Broken Relationships + Sister-in-law's Entrepreneurship + Female Group Portrait + Slow Love]
On her wedding day, Lin Wanqiu learned that her biological parents had received a gift of 8,000 yuan to marry her to an old widower who had beaten his ex-wife to death.
In her previous life, she gave her job to her younger brother, gave her salary to her parents, and endured beatings from her husband. But in the end, her biological parents forced her to take the blame for her younger brother.
When I opened my eyes again, the suona was blowing to the door of my house.
Lin Wanqiu tore up the marriage certificate in front of the whole village and threw the red hijab into the brazier.
"Whoever collects the money will marry!"
She left the Lin family with her widowed sister-in-law who was bullied by her husband's family and her five-year-old niece. She only had twenty-seven yuan, a broken iron pot and half a bag of sweet potatoes with her.
Everyone is waiting for them to starve to death on the streets.
Unexpectedly, she started from a pot of pig waste that no one wanted, set up stalls, opened shops, and built factories, turning a group of women who were abandoned by their husbands and despised by their natal families into the first batch of female workers and households worth ten thousand yuan in the county.
Later, her parents, who had scolded her as a loser, knelt at the factory gate and begged her to go home.
Lin Wanqiu only looked at them coldly.
In this life, she wants money, a career, dignity, and an upright love for a worthy person.
Reader comments
The most attractive thing about this book is the strong atmosphere of life in the 1980s.
An old pot, a small shop, handwritten account books and neighbors are both warm and calculating. After the heroine Lin Wanqiu broke off her marriage, she did not rely on golden fingers to reach the sky in one step. Instead, she and her widowed sister-in-law started by setting up a stall, and relied on their craftsmanship, credit and a little accumulated contacts to slowly live their lives.
The book is not only about making money and getting slapped in the face, but also about family relationships, neighborhood interactions and the pyrotechnics of life that were unique to that era. It is very real and heart-warming to see two women supporting each other in difficult days and earning a career, dignity and a home of their own.
Delicate emotional description, vivid characters, good book
The description is particularly delicate, and the bad guys are especially vivid.
