The Eighties' Money-Grubbing Little Wife, Pampered by Her Rugged Husband

Lu Xiaotang transmigrates into a period novel as a cannon-fodder character. In the original story, she was married off to a poor man for a bride price of thirty yuan, then driven back to her parents' home three days later, where she starved to death.

When she opens her eyes, it's her wedding night. Shi Dazhuang, a big, burly, rough-edged man, grins and hands her a stack of money. "Wifey, here's everything I own."

Lu Xiaotang's eyes light up. Those muscles, that stamina! He's practically a walking money-printing machine!

She immediately scraps her escape plan and takes her husband up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs, hunt game, and forage for mountain treasures. In three months, they earn five hundred yuan, making her the richest person in the village.

The villagers tease Shi Dazhuang for being henpecked. He just grins, carrying a sack on his shoulder. "My wife is capable."

Two years later, Lu Xiaotang has opened shops across three provinces, and Shi Dazhuang's past as a retired reconnaissance soldier comes to light. His certificates of merit fill an entire box.

The awful relatives who once threw her out now kneel and beg for help. Lu Xiaotang counts her money and sneers. "That's not what you said back then."

Shi Dazhuang pulls her into his arms. "Wifey, we've got plenty of money now. How about we have a child?"
