Chapter 1 My Fierce Wife

My wife is a shrew.

When Ji Huaizhi woke up, his leg was in excruciating pain. He frowned and gently lifted his head. The original owner's leg was broken.

After blocking out the pain, I noticed a little girl silently shedding tears next to me.

She was wearing an ill-fitting black cotton-padded jacket, her little face was rosy, and she had two little pigtails tied on her head.

"Dad, does it hurt?"

Ji Huaizhi blinked. Another father?

A shouting voice came from outside: "Look at your son! He can't even keep his wife. His leg is broken and his wife ran away. He lies in bed all day like a useless piece of trash."

"What's the use?"

"It's not even a family that's died out!"

Then another male voice said, "You've gone too far! What do you mean by 'no descendants'? He's still my son!"

"You have more than one son! What are you yelling at me for?"

"With his useless appearance, what else could he be but a childless heir? And you dare to yell at me! Keep yelling, do you believe I'll kick him out?"

After listening for a while, Ji Huaizhi suddenly felt a chill in his ear.

"Dad won't listen, Grandma is mean, I won't listen."

The child's eyes were so big and watery, which softened Ji Huaizhi's heart. The two little pigtails on his head swayed back and forth.

Ji Huaizhi squeezed her two cold little hands: "Don't listen, go to sleep."

The child obediently closed her eyes, and then her stomach started rumbling.

"Grandma won't feed us." She was so hungry and felt so wronged.

Ji Huaizhi pretended to rummage under the pillow, took out two White Rabbit candies, peeled off the candy coating, and put them into her mouth.

"Eat candy."

The little girl's eyes lit up; she was so sweet.

After spitting it out, he bit off half and gave it to Ji Huaizhi: "Dad, you can eat too."

Ji Huaizhi looked at the food, not wanting to eat it: "...Dad has another one here, you eat it."

The original owner was a farmer in the village, and the two people arguing outside were his biological father and stepmother.

He had a hard time in this family; his stepmother treated him harshly, and his biological father ignored him.

His two younger brothers and one younger sister were all half-sisters, so the original owner was ostracized in this family.

Perhaps the original owner was not valued since childhood, so she went out of her way to please their family.

They do the most work but eat the least.

He never competes for anything, always giving way to his younger siblings, just so they would say that Huaizhi is truly sensible and filial.

After the original owner's two younger brothers got married, someone told Ji's father that the original owner should get married soon, and that he couldn't keep dragging it on like this, or he would become an old bachelor.

Only then did Ji's father allow Ji's mother to arrange a marriage for him.

The original owner was hardworking and considered good-looking among farmers. Several girls in the village liked him, but none of them dared to marry him.

The reason is that he is too filial, plus he has a difficult stepmother.

Those who were interested in him hesitated, and even if a girl wanted to marry him, her family would not agree.

If a family doesn't separate, and the parents don't love or care for them, they'll only suffer.

Which family would be willing to marry their daughter to someone like that?

The original owner was anxious because he couldn't find a wife. One day, Li Chuncao, an educated youth from the educated youth settlement, stopped him.

She said she was willing to marry him, but only on the condition that they separate their households.

The original owner was stunned by this news. Li Chuncao was not the most beautiful among the educated youth. On the contrary, among a group of educated youth who did not know how to work, she was very diligent and had a strong drive.

In the past, many families in the village wanted to arrange marriages for her, but she refused them all and kept waiting for a quota to be allocated so she could return to the city.

She's been working in the countryside for almost ten years and is now an old maid.

The chance to return to the city seems far off.

If she continues to waste her time like this, she really doesn't know what to do next.

She recently heard that the original poster wanted to arrange a marriage for her. She knew him; he was hardworking and capable, but he had many brothers and was a stepmother.

Li Chuncao thought that if they separated from the family, marrying the original owner of the body wouldn't be a bad idea.

After all, hardworking people will never starve.

Li Chuncao told him to think it over before giving her an answer, and she also said many heartfelt things.

She said that if she married the original owner, she wouldn't think about returning to the city and would live a good life with him. She would only go back to see her parents if she had the chance.

Li Chuncao also said that she knew about the original owner's family situation, which is why they wanted to separate. She would not miss the annual filial piety payments, but they would not live together.

The original owner went back home in a daze and told his family the news, but to his surprise, his family said it was impossible when they heard about the family splitting up.

She dares to take charge of the household before even marrying into the family; who does she think she is?

The biggest reaction came from his stepmother Huang Zhaodi and his younger siblings. What would happen to the household chores if he left?

He works hard and earns a lot of work points.

Ji's father actually thought that it would be good if he could get a wife and then separate from the family, because some people had told him that with Huang Zhaodi as his stepmother, it would be difficult for his eldest son to find a wife.

Unexpectedly, not only did the whole family disagree with the division of the family property, but the eldest son, seeing their reaction, also foolishly thought that his family couldn't do without him and was very touched.

They repeatedly assured each other that they would never separate.

(Li Chuncao is not the female lead.)
