In the Eighties, the Village Girl Took Her Sister's Place to Marry the Village Bully, a Fake Good-for-Nothing and a Real Crown Prince

When Lin Susu's own father slapped her in front of Wang Qiang, Wang had just issued a threat: “Pay back the six thousand in three days, or I'll take your family's ox, land, and house.”

Her older sister, Lin Yue, had run off with a man, and the three thousand in bride price had gone to waste.

Her parents knelt and begged her: “Susu, take your sister's place.”

Lin Susu neither cried nor made a scene. She simply negotiated with Wang Qiang: “Give me five hundred yuan, and I'll go with you. This money isn't for my family. It's mine.”

The whole village waited to laugh at her: how could a wife bought for five hundred yuan possibly have a good life?

But then...

She learned to read, grew melons, raised chickens, and held the household together. She even got the village's roughest, fiercest man completely under control.

Wang Qiang went from “I don't want her” to slipping his family's heirloom gold bracelet onto her wrist:

“Now you're mine. And I'm yours.”

After that, no one dared say a bad word about her. When her birth family came hoping to take advantage, she coldly shut the door in their faces.

Later, when her sister returned in disgrace, Lin Susu didn't slap her. She just hugged her and said, “I'm glad you're back.”
