“Good thing that woman’s dead. One less mouth to feed. I’ll find myself a younger one.”
Lin Wanqiu was jolted awake by those words.
When she opened her eyes, a red bridal veil covered her head, and a tractor was chugging along. She had been reborn.
Worse, she was on her way to the wedding, on the very day her stepmother had sold her for five hundred yuan to a crippled wife-beater!
In her previous life, she had endured sixteen years in the Wang family, working like a beast of burden the whole time. Every day, she got up before dawn to haul water, feed pigs, cook, and work in the fields. She ate leftovers and wore patched clothes.
At last, on the night of her thirty-fifth birthday, she coughed up blood and died on the earthen kang.
This time, she jumped off the tractor and ran away from the wedding!
Then she “met again” with Gu Chen, the cold-faced quartermaster.
He helped her find a place to live, gave her money and ration coupons, and was the first to stand up for her when she was bullied.
“I’m here. You don’t have to bear it alone.”
She brought down her stepmother, crushed the scumbag, and trampled her unscrupulous rivals. With her time-stopping cabinet, she started out selling steamed corn buns, then opened a snack shop and went into the clothing business, building a commercial empire step by step.
She had only meant to focus on her career, but he spoiled her more and more until he had her up in the clouds.
