Guan Yu had a dream. In it, she married Song Zhihai, a worker at a printing factory, and took over her mother-in-law's job at a textile factory. From then on, she worked herself to the bone for the Song family!
She had to care for her unhappy mother-in-law, who had lost her job, while also supporting Song Zhihai's five troublesome younger siblings.
Just when she had finally made it through the hard times, Song Zhihai suddenly struck it rich and decided to leave her for another woman.
The younger siblings she had supported and helped raise didn't stand by her at all. Behind her back, they even called her stupid, petty, and uncouth, saying she couldn't hold a candle to their new sister-in-law's thoughtfulness.
Poor Guan Yu worked hard for half her life, fell ill from exhaustion, and died miserably in a little house at the edge of the village.
Only after her death did she learn that her life was a book. She was the supporting female character, there to make the heroine seem noble, wonderful, radiant, and generous. The heroine was the woman Song Zhihai later married.
When she woke from the dream, Guan Yu was lying on a mule cart, basking in the sun.
The bad news was that she was on her way to the county seat to meet Song Zhihai for a matchmaking date.
The good news was that she'd somehow bound herself to a vegetable basket that refreshed its everyday necessities on schedule every morning and evening. It was stocked full of supplies, enough to make anyone feel secure!
Thinking of the Song family's faces from her dream, Guan Yu decided she must have been out of her mind to serve a bunch of ungrateful wretches!
The matchmaking date failed, but Guan Yu wasn't worried. Her mother, however, was so anxious she was beside herself, and quickly arranged another match. This time, the man was someone Guan Yu knew.
Lu Changfu, the cold-faced, brawny outsider who had come to their village. Guan Yu remembered that in her dream, before she died miserably, he'd kindly brought her a bowl of rice.
He looked fierce, but he had a good heart. After thinking it over, Guan Yu agreed.
At first, Guan Yu thought she was only repaying him for the bowl of rice he'd given her in the dream.
Later, she fell for the rough man herself, and he spoiled her like a treasure!

Upcoming: From the Start, a Pickaxe [Survival]
Twenty years into the wasteland era, the environment has grown increasingly hostile, and all of Blue Star is searching for a way to overcome it.
At that moment, the planet Fairy sent Blue Star an invitation to a game called [Global Digging].
Start with a pickaxe. Dig up whatever you want!
Tu Mengmeng had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday. Apart from nutritional paste, she'd never tasted fresh vegetables or fruit. She thought: Is there really such a good thing?
She picked up her pickaxe and got right to it!
Other people mined for ages and might come away with a piece of iron or copper ore, or, if they were lucky, crystal or jadeite.
Tu Mengmeng, on the other hand, casually dug up the game's top-tier ores: crystal, spirit jade, dragon's blood ore, and more.
She also found little bread rolls, soap, mineral water, and all sorts of other bonus goods.
After three months of mining, other people were so exhausted their eyes were crossed, but at last they had built a sturdy stone house.
After three months of mining, Tu Mengmeng had a refined little cottage, a sun umbrella, a lounge chair, a hammock, and ice-cold soda.
In the [Global Mining] game, Country A managed to select only 88 people. Other countries thought Country A was doomed.
Tu Mengmeng: ?
Who said that?
Bring out some of the rice and vegetables from my warehouse!
Everyone: Did Country A cheat?
Tu Mengmeng: I just got lucky, that's all.
Theme: Live life one step at a time.

Is this the end? Is this a hard finish midway through? The writing is very good, why did you write half of it?
I still have more to say, but life has no end. Congratulations on the completion
You're not mute, you still have to practice speaking, so cute hahahahahaha
There are too few younger brothers and sisters like this. No matter what kind of wife Dongfang needs to find, he can survive the day when these best-in-class family members go out.
The aunt obviously made trouble because the heroine saw someone else and didn't get a good response. It was so normal for the heroine to be deceived in her previous life. Any kind-hearted person would be grateful to her mother-in-law for letting her work go. After all, it is logical that the mother-in-law should leave her job to her other son. Who would have thought that the mother-in-law had to calculate all the salary of the heroine and use all the living expenses. Her husband's family is too scheming. I hope they marry an unkind person this time. If such a family doesn't pay out their wages, then it's probably impossible for the ex-mother-in-law to let her eldest son sell his job and go out to work. I can only live on my eldest son's salary.
Although the ending does not mention whether there are children, the two of them are very happy and warm.
Your cover is quite... Unique, haha
It's a short story. It's not bad. It's well written. It seems to be the only period novel I've read that doesn't have children. Haha, the writing is pretty good.
It's so funny, what happened to this family is like a curse
Are there worms on cabbage? I've never seen one. I know that worms are on sesame seeds, and they're big green worms. Catching chicken feeders gives me a sense of accomplishment, because they're really big...
