The He Family’s Child Bride

Young Wang Er Ya gets along wonderfully with her in-laws, thanks to her superb acting skills and winsome looks. There is only one drawback: she has to drag around a husband seven years younger than herself. When Wang Er Ya is twelve, her husband is five. “My mother says you’re my wife, and a wife has to listen to her husband. ... I command you not to talk to Shunzi next door! Don’t speak to him, and don’t give him any sesame candy! Do you hear me?!” When Wang Er Ya is fourteen, her husband is seven. “A woman’s lack of talent is a virtue. Wang Er Ya, you’re certainly virtuous!” When Wang Er Ya is eighteen, her husband is eleven. “Wang Er Ya, if you dare hit me, I’ll divorce you!” When Wang Er Ya is twenty-four, her husband is seventeen. “Er Ya is already good enough. She may not be educated, and she has a strange temper and isn’t exactly gentle or refined, but at least she has wide hips and will bear children easily. That Miss Cheng is so delicate, she looks like she couldn’t have children. If you want grandchildren, Mother, Er Ya is worth three of her!” Other works by Xiao Mo Yao: The Child Bride by Xiao Mo Yao updates every other day. Thank you all for reading.
