The Darling Wife of the 1950S

The household of Ancheng's former richest family was in an uproar. The little daughter they had doted on all her life had actually found herself a soldier for a husband. She had been pampered and sheltered, and they couldn't bear the thought of her marrying one, so they took turns trying to talk her out of it. An's father: "Daughter, your Uncle Lin's son is back for a visit. He's handsome, and he's studied abroad. He teaches at a prestigious university in the capital, and he'd have much more in common with you than a soldier would." An's mother: "Your aunt in Xianggang wrote to say there's a fine young man over there. His family runs a jewelry store, so you'd never have to worry about food or clothes if you married him." Her married sister came back with her brother-in-law, and her eldest brother returned from work with his sister-in-law. They all dropped everything to persuade her to give up on the soldier. But An Ru was determined to marry him. The man she'd set her heart on had a rough face, but he wasn't rough at all. He was the one she'd won over by hitting him with a high heel, and she liked him very much. Everyone was terribly worried about An Ru's choice and expected her to come back crying after the wedding. But after she married, her complexion was rosy and she wore a smile, living the happy life everyone dreamed of. Reader's Guide: 1. This story is set in a fictional world.
