[Entrepreneurship in the 1990s] [Mutually Faithful] [Marriage First, Love Later] [Height Difference] [Six-Year Age Gap] [Slow-Burn Romance]
[Leads] A soft, gentle, and reserved beauty × a clingy, rugged man with a high libido
Su Xiaohe catches her younger sister, Su Yanhong, secretly meeting with the man who came to court her.
By a stroke of luck, she discovers that when she falls, she can hear the thoughts of small animals:
"Your adoptive parents are even worse than me! If you don't marry into the Lei family in your sister's place, they'll sell you off to some remote mountain village!"
Su Xiaohe decides to play along and agrees to marry Su Yanhong's childhood betrothed, Lei Zhanye, a truck driver.
Su Yanhong complains: The Lei family couple are farmers who slaughter pigs in their spare time. They're rough and vicious, dirt poor, and have a six-year-old wild boy who climbs all over the house.
Worst of all is Lei Zhanye: handsome but useless, and he never touches women!
Su Xiaohe smiles.
He doesn't touch women? Perfect. She doesn't want to do that sort of thing with anyone either.
An instant child? Even better. She'll have a child calling her Mom as soon as she enters the household. What a bargain!
Poor? What's there to fear?
She makes excellent tofu, and he works hard on long-haul routes. If the whole family pulls together, they'll surely build a prosperous life.
After marrying into the family, Su Xiaohe discovers that her in-laws are loud and quick to fight with outsiders, but if anyone dares bully her, they come right to the door with a pig-killing knife.
The mischievous little rascal calls her "Mom" so sweetly, and even brings her water to wash her feet at night.
Lei Zhanye, a rugged man strong enough to carry a two-hundred-jin pig, follows her around every day like a shadow.
There was just one thing Su Xiaohe didn't expect: Su Yanhong had called him a sissy?
But not long after the wedding, he pins her against the headboard night after night and asks in a husky voice:
"Wife, want to go again?"
Su Xiaohe finally sees the truth: this man is a starving wolf who has gone hungry for more than twenty years!
