Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Aunt Li slapped her thigh and muttered, "Yuanchun, it's so hard for a woman to live with a child. There needs to be a man to support the family, and others won't bully you."

"I don't have a man in my family, and no one dares to bully me. I am the widow of a martyr. Who is so blind as to dare to bully a martyr's widow?" Yuanchun put the fried and fragrant dried fish in a porcelain basin and said, "Auntie Li, although I don't have a man in my family, I can do everything. I don't need to find a man to work for me."

"Hey, Yuanchun, you are young and think so now, but when your son grows up and gets married, you will be left alone and helpless, and you will not think so anymore."

Aunt Li advised, "I know you are worried that your son will be treated badly by your spouse after your remarriage. Don't worry, my nephew is well-known for his honesty and loyalty. He will definitely treat your son as his own son and love him as if he were his own."

"No, Aunt Li, I don't want to remarry, nor do I want to break the oath I made to my husband." Yuanchun refused expressionlessly.

Aunt Li said earnestly, "Yuanchun, why don't you listen to my advice? I am here to advise you for your own good. You are young now and don't think too much. When you are my age, you will regret it."

"Yuanchun, listen to my advice. A woman must find a man to live with no matter what. Without a man, can your family still be called a home? Even your son will want a father when he sees that others have fathers."

"Auntie, I asked my son, and he said he doesn't need a dad, just a mom like me is enough. Auntie, I'm going to start braised pig ears, I won't talk to you anymore."

If it weren't for the business, Yuanchun would have wanted to scold Aunt Li and kick her out long ago.

However, she wanted to make money by being harmonious, so no matter how impatient she was, she had to deal with it in a good temper.

However, the next day, when Yuanchun sent her son to school and arrived home on a tricycle with a cart full of goods, she saw a man in his thirties standing at the door of her store.

At first, she thought he was here to buy something, so she smiled at him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll open the store right away."

The man said, "You are Yuanchun, right? You are back. Are you tired carrying so many goods? Go and open the store door. I will help the tricycle into the yard."

Yuanchun was stunned for a moment, "No need for your help, I can do it myself, you are here to buy something, wait at the door, I will open the store soon."

"Yuanchun, my name is Li Dazhi. You should have heard of me. I am here to help you with your work. It is not easy for a woman like you to run this store. I am here, so you only need to take care of the three children and my parents, and I will take care of all the work in the store. Oh, by the way, my aunt said that your store also sells braised food and fried food. You can teach me later. I used to be a small chef, but later the state-owned restaurant was contracted out, so I came out to do it myself. In the future, our family will have this store to look after, and I don’t have to work for others. Making braised food and fried food in the store is also my old business."

As the man said this, he tried to snatch the tricycle from Yuanchun.

Yuanchun kicked him out, pointed at the man's nose and cursed, "Who are you? What is your relationship with me? You want to take away my shop as soon as you open your mouth."

The man got up and pointed at her, his face livid. "Shrew, you are such a shrew. I must teach you how to be a good wife and mother in the future. You...ah..."
