Sent Down to the Countryside in the 1970S, a Beautiful Firecracker Joins the Farm

【Bold, fiery heroine who loves and hates fiercely VS gentle, nourishing big softie】 Shu Na, a young woman sent to the countryside, has always been tough and headstrong, with sharp, stubborn eyes. When her older sister dies young and her brother-in-law plans to remarry, Shu Na marches right to his door and takes back custody of her niece. To support the clever little girl, Shu Na goes to sell the labor-protection gloves her father had saved up, but is unexpectedly rescued by Pei Runsheng, a fellow farm worker. That’s how they meet, and Shu Na discovers that this taciturn man has plenty of endearing qualities. Pei Runsheng has thick brows and bright eyes, and is gentle and well-read, but he stutters. Everyone at the farm says he’s no good and can’t have children, and they tell Shu Na to stay away from him. “He can’t have children. If you marry him, your life will be over.” Pei Runsheng stands among the crowd as their slander pierces him like countless spears. Shu Na presses her lips together. “Pei Runsheng! Do you dare marry me?” Gasps rise around them. “Shu Na’s gone crazy! If she marries a man like that, she’ll never get back to the city!” Everyone says marrying him will ruin her life, but Shu Na refuses to believe it! Shu Na pays no attention to the gossip. She’ll make her own life. She keeps her rebellious younger brother in line, raises her precocious niece, and even looks after Pei Runsheng’s grandparents, who have long lived in seclusion. With the traditional dressing cases made by an old carpenter in the Pei family, she successfully breaks into the wedding market and makes a fortune. She also gets to rub her rivals’ noses in it. Turns out your husband is the one who can’t have children! Shu Na builds herself a thriving life at the farm.
