Before she married, Xianguo was the prettiest girl in Xinghua Village. Even after marrying, her beauty continued to attract unwanted attention.
Her husband had barely died of illness when matchmakers started showing up at her door, nearly wearing out the threshold.
After weighing her options, she married the strongest, roughest man in the village. His name was Tieniu, and he was just like his name: he was a blacksmith, built as sturdy as an ox, and excellent at his work.
He lived alone, and Xianguo expected that once they were married, she would be in charge of the household.
After their wedding, their lives just kept getting better.
Core theme: Hard work leads to wealth.
