The Real Heiress Does Research in the 1980S

[Extra chapters are now updated. I take no responsibility for people reading pirated copies. A similar story, Picking Up Trash with My Husband [The 1970s], is currently being serialized.] After a spaceship accident, Liang Hao was forced into the world of a novel. She had hoped to continue her unfinished research, but she wasn't the protagonist and had no protagonist's halo. She transmigrated straight into her wedding night in an arranged marriage. Her husband was a veteran, tall and handsome, but disabled in one leg. He also had two unmarried older brothers, both bachelors, and a rebellious younger brother he'd taken in. Worse still, their four-room house leaked when it rained and let in the wind when it blew. The whole family couldn't scrape together ten ration coupons. On her first day of marriage, Liang Hao nearly burned down the kitchen. She eagerly set out to make a rice cooker, only to learn that electricity hadn't reached the village yet. Fine, fine. So that's how you're going to play it. Full of guilt, she burned three sweet potatoes while waiting to be scolded. But her husband, who looked like a terrifying brute, came home, wiped the soot from the bottom of the pot off her face, and told her she wouldn't have to go into the kitchen again. He would do the cooking. That one promise kept Liang Hao out of the kitchen for half her life. Wen Yan, the richest man in the country, lived an upright life. The only person he had ever wronged was his wife. He woke up to find himself back on his wedding night. Overcome with joy at having her back, he vowed to cherish her in this life. When Liang Hao wanted to experiment, he went to the salvage yard to find junk and spare parts. When she wanted to go to university, he studied hard alongside her. When she envied her colleagues' private lab, he donated money to the research institute to rebuild its laboratory building. Before the reform and opening-up, the residents of Spring Wind Brigade avoided the Wen family, afraid they'd be asked to lend grain or ration coupons. But then the Wen family rode the wave of reform. The two lifelong bachelors, Wen Ershan and Wen Sanhe, went into business and became big bosses. Wen Yan and his wife, Liang Hao, got into university, and Wen Xi, the stray little rascal they'd taken in, rose to success along with them. The women in the village envied Liang Hao's good fortune. After getting married, she didn't have to earn work points. She just tinkered with scraps at home every day, yet still got into university, gained an urban household registration, and became a scientist. Extra scene: Wen Yan handled the family's money, so Liang Hao always thought they were poor. Even after they moved into a courtyard house, she still thought the old wooden house was worthless. Then one day, a leader told her that Wen Yan had donated an entire building to the research institute for a new laboratory. Liang Hao asked him, "If our family is so poor, where did you get the money?" Wen Yan kept a straight face as he played the poor man. "I invested in Big Brother and Second Brother's business and got dividends. That's all the money I have. From now on, you're the breadwinner of our family." Liang Hao had no idea that her husband, who cooked for her every day and took her to and from work, had quietly become a tycoon. Content warning: Both leads are faithful to each other in both lives. The heroine is the same person, and the male lead has loved only the transmigrated heroine from beginning to end. The male lead's leg will be cured, and he gets full marks for being a devoted husband. Theme: Love means understanding and accepting each other.
