Synopsis:

On his wedding night, Tang Qiao, who had been tricked into marriage, pointed at Lu Qingsong and cursed him out.

“You limping, stuttering bastard! If I’d known your Lu family was plotting to trick me into marriage, I’d have married the widower at the village entrance rather than you.”

At first, Tang Qiao could barely bring himself to look at Lu Qingsong kindly. Later, he realized that this little stutterer was not only handsome, but also as good to him as anyone could be.

He even supported him in opening a tofu shop.

On the way to the wedding, Lu Qingsong learned that his mother and younger brother had used a marriage trick to bring Tang Qiao into their family.

It turned out Tang Qiao wasn’t his younger brother’s husband, but his own.

Lu Qingsong thought that deceiving Tang Qiao was wrong and unfair to him, so he escorted him back to the village.

But for some reason, Qiao-ge’er decided not to leave after all.

Later,

When someone in the village laughed that he was a stutterer unworthy of Qiao-ge’er, Qiao-ge’er rolled up his sleeves and charged over, greeting him warmly with a slap. “Why’s your mouth so filthy? Did I eat your rice? So what if he stutters? I like stutterers! Say one more word about my husband and I’ll curse you so badly flowers will bloom on your grave.”

His husband spent all day grumbling.

“You’re so stupid! If someone insults you, why don’t you insult them back?”

“You’re a mute gourd. The way you do business, you’ll be bankrupt in no time.”

“Qiao-ge’er, Qiao-ge’er, this family can’t get by without me, can it?”

Lu Qingsong loved Qiao-ge’er just the way he was, and loved their life together, too.

In spring, they picked a handful of fragrant toon shoots, their green leaves tinged with red. In summer, they slurped bowls of cold jelly noodles drizzled with chili oil. In autumn, they gathered baskets of plump, juicy, crisp peaches. In winter, they bit into steaming sweet potatoes.

Through the everyday business of food, clothing, and shelter, they walked side by side amid the warmth of ordinary life. Through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, they grew old together over the long years.
