A Feisty Wife's Struggle in the 1980s

After Grandma gave Ru Yue to her aunt to raise:

Grandma: “Without me, would you have become a city girl?”

Aunt: “Without you, my younger brother wouldn’t have been an over-quota birth!”

Birth mother: “You ungrateful girl, all you care about is that side of the family.”

Older sister: “I’m the one who let you go to the city. You should thank me!”

Everyone hated her. Only one man said, “If nobody else loves you, you have to love yourself. Got it?”

After returning to the 1980s, Ru Yue met that man again. But he seemed a little too cheeky.

“Hey, how about letting this toad try his luck with the swan?”

Was he asking her out? Ru Yue was just a tiny bit smitten.

The man, even cheekier this time: “If you won’t say yes, this swan’s flying away!”

Ru Yue: “?? So I’m the toad?”
