Slaughtering Pigs to Support the Villainess

Shen Chu transmigrates into a book and becomes a butcher who marries the villainess of the story.

The original owner is addicted to gambling and has spent most of the family's savings.

The original owner's parents, out of their minds, think that bringing home a wife will keep him in check and get him back to the honest work of butchering pigs.

Who could have guessed that when the original owner saw his petite, timid wife, he would become even more irritable and short-tempered? Not only does he refuse to listen to her, he also insults and punishes her.

The wife is pitiful, so thin she's little more than skin and bones. She spends her days in ragged clothes doing all kinds of chores, and if anything goes wrong, the original owner berates and beats her, then withholds her food.

Shen Chu, who has transmigrated into her body: Damn it, you're a butcher, and yet you've let someone get thinner and thinner! It's embarrassing!

She rolls up her sleeves, picks up the butcher's knife again, and decides to fatten her wife up until she's plump and rosy, so she can sit at home counting money all day!

Back at her parents' home, Song Zhiyao was always scolded for being useless after all the effort they'd put into raising her. She couldn't even get much of a dowry.

She was nothing but a bad-luck charm!

So after joining her wife's family, she lived in constant fear, careful not to put a foot wrong.

She thought that if she obediently finished all the chores and obediently endured the scolding and beatings, everything would eventually get better.

But it didn't. She was a bad-luck charm, and she would never get to live a good life.

Just as she thought she would starve to death one night, her wife suddenly changed for the better!

She stopped beating and scolding her, stopped leaving her hungry, and even gave her special permission to sleep in the bed!

One day, Shen Chu came home after slaughtering pigs and slapped a stuffed money pouch down in front of Song Zhiyao. "If I earn an extra tael of silver, will you reward me with one more kiss? How about it?"

Before Song Zhiyao could answer, Shen Chu hurriedly added, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. All right, count the silver! I'm ready for my kiss!"

Song Zhiyao tilted her head in confusion. But wouldn't she let Shen Chu kiss her even without any silver?
