In 1977, the college entrance examination was reinstated.
After being manipulated by others, Bai Yue grew suspicious and paranoid, convinced that her educated-youth husband, Shao Yinghua, had passed the entrance exam and planned to abandon her and return to the city.
She followed him to the city and became so neurotic that she watched him constantly, forbidding him to speak to any female classmates.
While Shao Yinghua was in college, she watched his female classmates. After he started working, she watched his female colleagues. She had no life of her own.
She was plagued by illness, and the two had no children. Only when her previous life came to an end did she realize how absurd and laughable it had been.
Given another chance, she decided to start over.
She would refuse to be manipulated by petty people, seize the opportunities of Reform and Opening Up to build a business of her own, and support her husband in pursuing his studies.
Everyone assumed that once Shao Yinghua got into college, he would abandon his country wife.
They waited and waited, until Shao Yinghua took his wife with him to the city.
They waited and waited, until the country wife transformed into the owner of a chain of restaurants in the city.
They waited and waited, until the country wife helped the entire village get rich, turning it into a prosperous village famous across the region as a supplier of fresh produce for the restaurant chain.

Updated alongside this novel: [The Sweet Little Wife of the Seventies]
A beautiful, fair-skinned, pampered girl vs. a tough, tender-hearted, secretly passionate man
The first time Song Yi saw Shen Jiaojiao, he wondered how there could be such a beautiful girl in the world. Especially the red beauty mark between her brows, which made her look just like Zhou Zhiruo from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. She was so beautiful it broke his heart.
He wanted to marry her and cherish her, then have three, four, five, six, seven, or eight children with her. His life would be complete.
Shen Jiaojiao has a secret. She had a dream. In the dream, just as in reality, she muddle-headedly married Song Yi and got pregnant.
But later in the dream, she received notice that she had qualified for the college entrance exam. She wanted to take the exam and return to the city, but Song Yi refused. After they fought, she secretly had an abortion...
The child was gone, and the two divorced. All that remained in her memory was Song Yi's gaze, burning like a flame in the night...
*
As the first marriage between a commune member and an educated youth in Hongqi Commune, Shen Jiaojiao and Song Yi were unpopular with everyone.
After all, apart from being pretty and somewhat educated, Shen Jiaojiao was useless in every way. She couldn't carry a load or lift a finger, and wasn't even as useful as a half-grown boy.
Song Yi, on the other hand, was clever and hardworking, and had a cousin who was the village leader. Everyone said a beautiful flower had been stuck in a pile of cow dung.
Song Yi was the flower.
Everyone wondered when the two would get divorced.
They waited and waited, until Song Yi spoiled Shen Jiaojiao like she was in heaven.
They waited and waited, until Song Yi became a big-city tycoon. Surely now he would start fooling around, everyone in the commune wondered.
Nope. The two had three, four, five, six, seven, or eight children and still lived happily together. The people waiting to see them fail were furious!
P.S. Don't be fooled by the serious blurb. This is just a sweet, very sweet period romance.
Theme: In the best of times, build from nothing and make a fortune.
Who doesn't know how to use public opinion? It's so uncomfortable for me to be manipulated by an eccentric father. A stepmother and stepbrother who don't even know how to show face, can't deal with this! You have to use the best methods to deal with the best, but you still feel chilled. Why should you be cold? It's about taking action. If you don't talk about so many grievances, how will the people around know? How can you not save face for that family? It's depressing.
I'm speechless. I have to go the route of slowly slapping people in the face. Two adults, one is tolerant and the other is watching other people's drama on the surface. This is not a question of whether it is enjoyable or not, but a character flaw of the protagonist.
That's it, what about the career line?
