No system, no space, no golden fingers, the heroine is reborn. In her previous life, her husband died in a fight while helping her friends. After the heroine was reborn, she slowly changed her husband (she made the hero gamble, but when she came back every night, she would plunder her pockets and leave only 1 cent). Later, triplets were born. The male and female protagonists were very good at raising children, and the three children were well behaved. The eldest aunt doesn't do human affairs, the heroine doesn't give in and is not a virgin, and directly puts divorce on the agenda

My top 1 period novel. The heroine was pushed down by her half-sister and was almost sold to an old man by her stepmother. The hero bought her with all his savings and took good care of her. The beginning is that the heroine is no longer stupid. She got married in the past few years and has a well-behaved and sensible baby. Zaizai is often beaten by the male protagonist because he always uses the male protagonist's cup to fill cow dung.

The story is short, the plot is compact, and the text is warm and heartwarming! I strongly recommend this book👍You think it is a novel, but it is actually a very interesting historical record. It focuses on small characters. Hundreds of typical characters are based on real people and real stories. Those born in the 50s, 60s, and 70s should read it. You may be able to find stories that mark yourself or that era. The story is touching and the plot is well arranged.
