Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Xu Fengjuan has not had a good life in recent years.

Although she successfully remarried, given the circumstances at the time, a good family would not have dared to let her in.

Li Yongfa was a well-known honest man in the surrounding area. He was thin and small, and was half a head shorter than Xu Fengjuan.

His parents died early, and he had come from elsewhere to escape famine in his early years, so he had no roots in the village.

Living alone, unable to work on my own, and penniless at home.

The first wife was mentally challenged. Her family didn't ask for a dowry; they just wanted their mentally challenged daughter to have an honest man to take care of her, which is why they got married.

Although the simpleton was slow-witted, he was strong and a good worker, which gradually made Li Yongfa's life better.

However, the good times didn't last long. Not long after giving birth to Li Meihong, the mentally challenged man accidentally fell into the pond and drowned.

So Li Yongfa returned to his single life, raising his infant daughter alone.

However, Li Yongfa was not good at work and could barely support himself. He also had a child to support, and his family almost never had enough to eat.

The child was so thin and small from hunger that only his head appeared unusually large.

Who would have thought that a few years later, his luck would change, and Xu Fengjuan would actually take the initiative to come to him and ask to marry him.

At that time, no one else dared to marry Xu Fengjuan except Li Yongfa.

That very evening, Xu Fengjuan moved from the large brick house to Li Yongfa's small thatched hut, carrying her luggage and belongings.

After marriage, due to the huge gap between her expectations and reality, Xu Fengjuan became increasingly determined to improve her life and make others look at her differently.

They really gave everything to the Li family.

She hadn't made a new piece of clothing for over ten years; her clothes were patched upon patched, so worn out they were almost unrecognizable. Yet, every year she would try her best to make new clothes for the Li family.

They would rather eat coarse food themselves than let the Li family father and daughter drink wine and eat meat.

Despite such difficult conditions, he managed to raise his stepdaughter, Li Meihong, to be just as good as any of the girls in town.

They even doted on Li Meihong more than the village chief's family did on their daughter, raising her to be spoiled and willful.

She's a twenty-year-old girl, and at home she still waits for someone to serve her food, otherwise she throws a tantrum and refuses to eat.

This time, Xu Fengjuan was truly out of money; she had borrowed from everyone she could over the years.

Borrowing money time and time again, yet unable to repay it, wears away even the strongest bonds of friendship.

This time, when she went to borrow again, it was still under the pretext of making new clothes, and even Xu Fengjuan's family kicked her out.

After several days of running around without being able to borrow a single penny, Xu Fengjuan thought of her son, Gu Qingsong.

Although Gu Qingsong's life was not easy either, Xu Fengjuan heard that he had married a sent-down youth.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The educated youth from the city, no matter how poor, could at least borrow ten or five yuan, right?

If all else fails, she'll spend money to rent Li Meihong a new outfit, just to get by with the matchmaking, and then figure out another way.

Thinking of this, Xu Fengjuan roused herself and said with a fierce but weak tone, "How can you get married and live without money? Even if you don't have money, your wife definitely does!"

"A woman can't have more money than a man. You're the man, the head of the household, so you have to keep her in check, otherwise she won't feel at ease living with you."

Xu Fengjuan was still speaking earnestly when Gu Qingsong's face darkened.

Xu Fengjuan said he could do it, and he wasn't afraid of what people would say.

But Xu Fengjuan can't bully his wife.
