In 1970, I Overturned the Whole Village with My Embroidery

In the frost of 1977, in Zhaojia Village in northern Jiangsu, Su Qinghe gave birth to two daughters one after another. Her husband's family, who favored sons over daughters, conspired with the clan to send their three-year-old daughter away for foster care in exchange for food. As her cowardly husband watched with cold eyes, she was kicked out of the Zhao family's main house and took her children to live in an abandoned woodshed with drafts everywhere. In a desperate situation, she relied on the authentic Suzhou embroidery skills passed down by her grandmother, breaking the rule that women in the village could only earn work points from the production team to survive, and won a long-term purchase order from the supply and marketing cooperative with her superb embroidery skills. The best-in-law mother-in-law comes to her home many times to calculate her wealth. Wang Banxian, a wandering liar, tries to manipulate her fortune by relying on superstitious rumors. Women of the same clan are jealous of her craftsmanship and secretly counterfeit inferior embroidery to steal business. Su Qinghe held the legal foundation and worked hard to make a living. Not only did he support his two daughters, he also led a group of poor sisters in the village to gain a foothold with their embroidery skills and completely break free from the shackles of women in the old era.
