A Village Girl in the 1980s, Loved Roughly by Her Man Every Day

Village Girl Li Meimei

A hundred yuan in bride price bought out two years of Li Meimei's youth.

The groom died on their wedding day.

Her mother-in-law cursed her as a husband-killer, and her husband's family treated her like an unpaid laborer. Every filthy, exhausting chore fell to her, and the slightest protest earned her a beating and a tongue-lashing.

She once sneaked back to her parents' home to beg for help, but her own mother shoved her right back outside.

"The bride price has already been spent. You were married into the Du family, so even if you die, you die in the Du family!"

Li Meimei finally gave up all hope.

If no one was willing to give her a way to live, then she would fight her way to one herself.
