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

Lu Xiaotang transmigrates into a period novel as a doomed supporting character. The original was married off to a poor man for thirty yuan, then driven back to her parents' home three days later, where she starved to death.

She opens her eyes on her wedding night. Shi Dazhuang, a big, burly, rough-hewn man, grins bashfully as he hands her a stack of money. "Wife, here's everything I own."

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

She immediately scraps her escape plan and takes her man up the mountain to gather herbs, hunt game, and dig for mountain produce. In three months, they make five hundred yuan, making them the richest family in the village.

The villagers tease Shi Dazhuang for being henpecked. He just hefts a sack and grins. "My wife is amazing."

Two years later, Lu Xiaotang has opened shops across three provinces, while Shi Dazhuang's background as a retired reconnaissance soldier comes to light, along with a whole chest full of commendations.

The awful relatives who once threw her out now kneel and beg for help. Lu Xiaotang counts her money and sneers. "You didn't say that back then."

Shi Dazhuang pulls her into his arms. "Wife, we've got enough money. How about we have a child?"
