A Military Wife's Everyday Gossip in The 1970s

After accidentally starving to death, Cui Liu transmigrates into Cuiliu, a pitiful girl being forced by her stepmother to marry.

The candidates are a commune accountant on his third marriage with no children, a silk mill director on his second marriage with three kids, a supply and marketing cooperative director whose three wives are dead but who has only one daughter, and a first-time groom who's a comatose soldier with no hope of waking up.

Cui Liu: Do I even need to think about it? Let someone else be the one stuck with somebody else's baggage. I only want a first-time groom. And as for a comatose husband, no problem. Wouldn't it be great to be a military wife with money and no husband telling me what to do? My father-in-law even works at the commune grain station. What more could a girl ask for?

Everything is great after the wedding, except her mother-in-law is a handful.

She wants to know the Zhao family's gossip, the Qian family's secrets, the Sun family's secrets, and the Li family's dirty laundry. She wants to know everything.

As luck would have it, Cui Liu gets bound to a gossip System, so she gives her mother-in-law what she wants, reporting the gossip the System updates each day straight to Wang Po.

At first, Wang Po doesn't believe her, until her daughter-in-law adds her to some kind of gossip red-packet group.

Good heavens!!!

So the village Party secretary acts so respectable all day, but behind closed doors, he does it with the sow after it's given birth...

So the new educated youth refuses to live at the youth center because every night, at midnight...

So her younger daughter-in-law can't have a baby because her younger son doesn't have...

So her old man goes out to fish every day, but what he's actually fishing for is the fishwife's... behind the village...

Before long, her mother-in-law becomes a regular in the gossip garden, treating Cui Liu like a queen.

When her father-in-law retires, her mother-in-law arranges for Cui Liu to take over his job at the grain station.

Cui Liu spends her days guarding the granary and catching up on the gossip. Whenever she has a moment, she passes along a little information to her brother-in-law, a public security special agent. Life is carefree.

One day, she comes home from work to find a group of unfamiliar people in military uniforms in the courtyard.

Her husband, who has woken up, is holding a baby and calling one of the officers Dad.

Cui Liu: ??? Was my husband adopted?

While she's still puzzling over it, the officer cries out with red eyes, "My daughter! I've finally found you!"

Cui Liu: ???
