Sheng Anning transmigrates into the body of a mother in the 1970s who is fiercely biased in favor of boys.
Her husband is serving in the military far away, while at home she plays the wicked matron. She spoils her son like a crown prince and treats her daughter like a beast of burden, beating and scolding the girl at every turn. And that's not all: she's even planning to give her daughter away for money to raise her son.
Anning is furious. Boys and girls are equal, and favoring boys over girls is wrong. She'll raise them equally and help them all succeed, so they'll understand that whether they're boys or girls, if they work hard, they can shine.
Just as she's begun to change the children's thinking, the original owner's husband, who hasn't been home in five years, suddenly returns and says he wants her to join him at his military post.
Living with a man she barely knows will be awkward, but going with him means she won't have to work in the fields. And since he's stationed on an island with plenty of supplies, she'll have all the seafood she wants.
Anning immediately packs her things and takes the children with her to the island.
On an island in 1970s China, the people are simple and kind, and seafood is plentiful. After arriving, Anning takes the kids fishing one day and lobster-catching the next. The family lives a happy, prosperous life.
What's more, while other wives complain that their husbands are cold and ignore them, Anning's rough-around-the-edges husband chases after her every day. While other husbands come home expecting to be treated like kings, Anning's husband comes home as her assistant, helping her with everything.
The young couple work together to raise the children, and their life together is sweet and happy.
Coming next: Married to a Devoted Educated Youth in the 1970s. Please add it to your reading list.
Plot synopsis: In 1976, her mother-in-law brings a child home and tells Shen Ru that since she has been married for four years without having a child, she should raise the child as her own.
Shen Ru raises the child with great effort, sends him to university, pays for his wedding, and buys him a house in the city. Only when her adopted son pulls out her oxygen mask does she realize that her mother-in-law's family set her up: she has been raising her husband's illegitimate child.
When she opens her eyes again, Shen Ru has returned to 1972. She isn't married yet, and her future husband is discussing with his mother how to pay the lowest possible bride price.
Since heaven has given her a second chance, Shen Ru will never repeat the mistakes of her past life. She turns instead to the educated youth who liked her in her previous life.
Later, when her former husband comes to the Shen family to offer betrothal gifts, Shen Ru throws her marriage certificate in their faces. "Sorry, I'm married."
Romance synopsis: In 2001, Shen Ru lies in a hospital bed watching an interview with Lu Zhixing on television. The host asks why he has never married, and he replies calmly, "When I was sent to the countryside, I liked a girl. I've kept her in my heart, and I've never felt that way about anyone else."
Beside her, her husband and adopted son discuss without bothering to hide it that they'll bring the adopted son's biological mother home once Shen Ru is dead.
Tears roll down Shen Ru's cheeks. In this life, she was blind, married a faithless, rotten man, and raised his mistress's child. If she gets another life, she absolutely won't be so foolish again.
When she opens her eyes, she really has returned to the past.
Looking at the man hiding behind a woodpile, blushing as he says he likes her and wants to court her, Shen Ru smiles. "Let's skip dating and go straight to the registry office to get married."
Theme: Boys and girls are equal. Given the right education, any child can succeed
Why can't you just say you graduated from high school, like you told the principal? Why does it have to be so secretive? Or does the author want to give the heroine a low-key persona? It's really not necessary
It's fast-paced and good-looking, but it's also too short and not enough to watch, haha
Why do I feel that Sheng Anning and Sheng Tuan are related, not biologically related to that family? Otherwise, why would the family treat her daughter badly? Sheng Anning also has a younger sister, and her younger sister worked before.
It's too hard to wait for each chapter. I have to wait for a while before coming back.
The follow-up article "Marrying a Loyal Dog to an Educated Youth at Seventy", please add it to your collection~ The new article is still a recipe for sweet pets. The male and female protagonists talk about sweet love and slap the best scumbag in the face together. It's a sweet and refreshing little daily routine. Please collect it~
"Sheng" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Zheng
This is a bad ending. I feel like I should have been able to write more than 100 chapters. Why is it gone at chapter 35?
Come on! So the heroine has a family~
Sprinkle some flowers and press your claws
Why was it later said that Sheng Guochao came back with Sheng's mother? Isn't it Sheng Guodong? Also, the two people's names are so similar that one would mistakenly think that they are a family. Or did I miss something? Are they a family?
