◆Opening this one in June: "What! Her Ex-Husband Came to the City to Find Her [The 1970s]" This story: At five years old, Xiangcha had a fierce, cold pen pal who appeared in her dreams. One day, her distant pen pal sent her a letter for the first time, and it held a huge secret. Xiangcha jolted awake, jumped out of bed, leaned against the doorframe, and wailed hysterically: "Dad, I don't want a stepmother!!" Zhao, who was waiting in the courtyard for the matchmaker, was startled by his daughter's frightened, helpless eyes. He quickly crouched down and held her, soothing her tenderly. Zhao: Since his daughter doesn't want a stepmother, he won't remarry. He'll raise the child himself! - It was strange. After he turned down the match, good things kept happening to the Zhao family of Yaoshan Production Brigade. Money flowed in from all directions, they were named one of the city's Five Good Families, and eventually they moved to the city. Xiangcha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her pen pal said the Zhao family hadn't been like this in her previous life... After her stepmother married into the family in her previous life, Xiangcha, who had always been well-behaved, seemed to be possessed by the spirit of laziness. She suddenly became slovenly, greedy, and lazy. Her hardworking, studious eldest brother was swept away by a mudslide on his way to school, crushing both his legs. From then on, he gave up on life and his temperament changed completely. Her second brother was framed, and spent the rest of his life muddling through prison. As for her father, the year after remarrying, his new wife took all his money and abandoned him. He died of depression. And her stepmother? She cheerfully took her stepdaughter off to raise another man's child... Xiangcha clenched her little fists in secret. Hmph, with her around, no one was allowed to mess up her family of four! - Matchmaker: "The Zhao family isn't interested in you." The proud Zhou Sufen didn't care. It was the Zhao family's loss that they hadn't chosen her. She was beautiful, and plenty of men would want her. Zhou Sufen wasn't in a hurry, but her eight-year-old daughter, Li Xiu'e, was beside herself. It was because Li Xiu'e had also had a dream. In it, after her mother left the Zhao family with her, she remarried into another household. Her mother worked hard to raise that family's children, but in the end, her stepsons and stepdaughters showed her no gratitude. Her husband abandoned her, and Li Xiu'e ended up wandering the streets with her mother, freezing to death in a strange place... Check out my completed novel about building a strong nation.
