Su Xiao was the prettiest and most capable young woman for miles around. She could take down five strong men by herself, but no one dared marry her.
Everyone feared her strength, and even more so her “bad luck.” Anyone who made her angry would suffer: at best, they'd get mouth sores; at worst, they'd lose a limb or break a leg.
When the villagers said she'd never find a husband, she not only got married, she married a city man with a secure government job.
It turned out her husband was Song Linxuan. Though he worked as a train conductor, he was an unlucky mess who choked on food, spluttered on water, and got nibbled by mice in his sleep.
On their first night living together, the bed collapsed the moment they lay down.
Song Linxuan calmly got up. “We have a spare. I'll go get it.”
When they went to visit her family the following weekend, her mother-in-law gave Su Xiao no gifts to take home.
Song Linxuan stormed out of the house and called out, “When Eldest Sister-in-Law went to visit her family, Mom bought meat and prepared cigarettes and liquor. When my wife goes, she doesn't even get a single leaf of cabbage.”
They wanted to kick them out unless he gave his brand-new job to his younger brother?
The young couple picked up the bags they'd packed in advance. As Song Linxuan walked away, he shouted, “Mom, that job was specifically assigned to Xiaoxiao by the boss. I really can't give it to my younger brother.”
They'd thought life away from his parents would be lonely and dull, but their new apartment building turned out to be livelier than ever.
Today, you can watch my brothers turn against each other; tomorrow, I'll watch the scandal between your shameless old man and the young widow...
