The Sweet-Farmhouse Wife Is Quite a Treat

On his wedding day, the bride ran off with another man halfway there, and everyone waited to see him become a laughingstock. But she arrived in her wedding dress and climbed into his bridal sedan. Her breathtaking beauty left everyone envious. His parents were miserly and greedy, his elder brother and sister-in-law were sharp-tongued and mean, and the local rich man deliberately made things difficult for them. So what? With a husband like this, what more could a wife ask for? They started from nothing and made a fortune overnight. The runaway bride wants to come crawling back? She smiled. “Sorry, I've already sprayed the pesticide. If you want to die, do it soon.” Relatives from every direction show up to mooch off them? He smiled. “My wife says you're dismissed. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.” “All I know is that you're the one I married, and you're the one I cherish and love. I don't care about anything else.” “Now that I've married you, I should share both your joys and your hardships. You're kind and loving to me, and that's all I need.” Her sister-in-law slandered her: “With that fox-like face, all you do is seduce men. Anyone can see you're no respectable woman. Who knows how many men have already had their way with you?” She replied, “By that logic, with your looks, you must be the most respectable woman in the world.” Her other sister-in-law warned her: “They say men turn bad as soon as they get rich. You'd better keep a close eye on your husband.” She laughed softly. “I'd sooner believe a sow could lay eggs than believe he'd ever stop loving me.” She asked, “Husband, will you always pamper me, love me, and indulge me in everything?” He replied indulgently, “My lady, just give the order. Anyone who disobeys it will be put to death on the spot.”
