I Chopped Wood and Rescued a Husband

As soon as Ye Ning’s biological father left, his stepmother sold him to a wealthy man in the county to be his concubine. In his despair, he tried to prove he would never give in to his stepmother by putting a rope around his neck. But Ye Ning was rescued, and through a twist of fate ended up engaged to a farmer in the village who was handsome but had no ambition. He expected to spend his days enduring his husband’s moods, but after they married, he had enough to eat and warm clothes to wear. The man seemed carefree and boorish, but he was considerate. Who in the countryside worried about getting bitten by mosquitoes? Yet he bought Ye Ning mosquito-repellent incense. How many villagers who scraped a living from the fields celebrated their birthdays? Yet he prepared a birthday gift for Ye Ning. When Ye Ning’s frail body couldn’t take any more? On that, the man wouldn’t take no for an answer. In time, Ye Ning stopped living in fear. All he wanted was a peaceful life with He Hailang. He Hailang lost both his parents when he was young, but fortunately his uncle’s family helped him out. He thought his life would simply carry on, neither good nor bad, until he rescued someone while up the mountain gathering firewood. That rescue got him entangled with the man’s stepmother, and He Hailang figured they might as well share a life together. As time went by, he realized his husband was not only hardworking, but gentle too. To him, everything about Ye Ning was wonderful. And so He Hailang’s stagnant life finally had something to look forward to: Save money, save money, save money!! So he could work without ever leaving his husband’s side!! A sudden natural disaster shattered the hard-won peace between them. A wild pond hidden in the mountains gave them a chance to survive, and the two joined hands to turn their situation around. Years later, they sat by the pond, with their young child playing nearby. They recalled all that had happened and sighed with emotion. P.S. 1. There will be a child. 2. A slow-paced story about the steady rhythm of everyday life. 3. The protagonists aren’t perfect. They’ll grow over time, so please don’t flame them if you dislike them. 4. Updates will follow the rankings for now. I have chapters saved up, so there won’t be any hiatuses ◑.◑ 5. I quietly changed the anti-piracy threshold to the lowest setting, 30%. I recently found out that 50% would make readers who are following the story buy the first eleven chapters again. That wouldn’t be fair to my longtime readers. Thank you so much for your support! I’ll listen to any suggestions, too. Have a lovely day~ Theme: Finding the most genuine affection in the simple pleasures of everyday life
