Pu Xiaoli was a child from a poor family. She had an older brother, Pu Jinbao. There were only two children in the family, but the two siblings did not get along.

Pu Jinbao often bullied her, taking away her few snacks, and sometimes even taking away her dinner, leaving her to go to sleep hungry.

When Pu Xiaoli was sixteen and Pu Jinbao was eighteen, a matchmaker arranged a marriage for them. No dowry was required, and there were no other demands, which made Pu's poor parents very happy.

However, the in-laws had one request: to arrange a marriage exchange, in which Pu Xiaoli would marry the woman's 25-year-old mentally challenged brother.

Pu's parents hesitated a bit. Their daughter was good-looking and they thought they could find her a good match.

The family is poor, so they can't arrange a marriage for their son. How can he get a wife?

Pu Jinbao went to see the girl named Ni Jiahui, and he recognized her at first sight.

He went home and made a scene, insisting that he marry Ni Jiahui. In the end, Pu's parents agreed.

And so, on the very day Pu Jinbao got married, Pu Xiaoli also hastily left home.

Having been neglected by her parents and bullied by her older brother since childhood, Pu Xiaoli is very sensible. She understands her fate and considers it as repaying her parents' kindness in raising her.

That's just how the world is, she accepts her fate, and only hopes that things will be better when she gets to the man's family.

The Ni family has two sons and one daughter. Besides their mentally challenged sons Ni Dazhuang and Ni Jiahui, they also have a younger son, Ni Jiarong, who is sixteen years old this year.

On her wedding day, she met her husband, a tall man who, although a little simple-minded, was very obedient.

He was always smiling, doing whatever he was asked to do. He did the most work, ate the most, and was also the one who got scolded the most.

After Pu Xiaoli got married, her life was no different from before, and it was even more comfortable than before.

She was very capable and could do housework with ease. After getting married, she was just doing her job in a different place.

However, Ni Dazhuang, having listened to someone's advice, decided to treat his wife well, so Pu Xiaoli felt the only warmth she had experienced in the past sixteen years.

When Ni Dazhuang went to chop firewood, he would bring back wild fruit for Pu Xiaoli and secretly give it to her to eat alone.

When Ni Dazhuang went to bathe in the river, he would hide the lotus pods and lotus flowers he picked and secretly place them on Pu Xiaoli's pillow.

When Pu Xiaoli was scolded, Ni Dazhuang would quietly take her hand, silently comfort her, and share her depressed mood.

When Pu Xiaoli was punished by not being allowed to eat, Ni Dazhuang would secretly hide his sweet potatoes and quietly slip them to her.

Pu Xiaoli felt that her mentally challenged husband was better than a normal person; although life was hard, it still had a touch of sweetness.

After Pu Xiaoli married him, he became the only light in the original owner's life.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ni Jiarong got married. The family grew larger, and so did the conflicts.

Ni Jiarong's wife, Pu Guixiang, is also from Pujia Village. She grew up with Pu Xiaoli, but she looks down on Pu Xiaoli.

Not only did she marry a fool, but she also did more work and ate less, making her even more foolish than the fool himself.

The discord between the two exacerbated the conflicts, and the fact that Ni's mother, Ni Wangshi, favored her younger son made Pu Xiaoli, who was already upset, even worse.

When the meal was being served that evening, Ni Wangshi noticed that the rice was too dry and there wasn't enough. So she found a pretext to punish Pu Xiaoli by not allowing her to eat.

Pu Xiaoli was so angry that she went back to her room and cried. She didn't know what to do to please her mother-in-law.

?

Xiao Li arrived at this moment. She looked at the fool Ni Dazhuang opposite her and kept encouraging herself.

"Hold on, hold on, this is the original owner's husband, you can't kill him."

Ni Dazhuang was completely oblivious and continued to shove the wild fruit in his hand into Xiaoli's hand with a grin.

"Wife...eat..."

Xiao Li looked at the rotten little fruit in her palm; the peel was severely deformed and juice was dripping out.

Luckily, the clothes I was wearing were gray-black, otherwise they would definitely have been stained beyond recognition.

She threw it away in disgust; the fruit looked unwashed and had dead insects on it.

She couldn't eat them, and only the original owner of this body, who had never had anyone share snacks with her, considered these wild fruits as delicacies.

However, Sha Zizhuang's intentions are commendable.

When Ni Dazhuang saw the fruit being thrown away, he hurriedly went to pick it up. His wife must be too hungry to hold the fruit properly.

Xiao Li grabbed him and said, "Don't pick them up, they've been bitten by bugs and can't be eaten."

Ni Dazhuang objected. He was strong, so he pushed Xiaoli, and Xiaoli landed on her bottom.

"So annoying..."

But there was nothing he could do. Ni Dazhuang picked up the fruit and handed it to Xiaoli.

Xiao Li sighed, took the fruit, and pretended to put it in her mouth, but actually put it into her spatial storage.

Forget it, why bother arguing with an idiot?

Ni Dazhuang smiled happily when he saw Xiaoli take the food.

He was tall, with a childlike, innocent face that contrasted sharply with his physique, making it obvious at a glance that he was a fool.

Looking closely, the "fool" is actually quite good-looking, and Ni Jiahui is a beauty, so it's conceivable that Ni Dazhuang wouldn't be too ugly either.

He just doesn't know how to take care of himself. He can't tie his hair properly, and it's been greasy and tangled since he hasn't washed it in a long time.

The original owner had helped him wash a few times, but he always liked to go to the mountains to play, or go to the fields to chop firewood, and he would turn back to his original state after a few days, so the original owner stopped bothering him.

Xiao Li looked around the room. It was a very spacious room, thanks to Ni Dazhuang's strong physique; a small room wouldn't be enough for him to move around in.

The original owner was a diligent person, and the room didn't have many things, so it was kept quite tidy and clean.

However, Ni Dazhuang was covered in mud and had sweated a lot during the day while hiking on the mountain, so he smelled really bad.

Ni Dazhuang yawned; he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

Xiao Li quickly grabbed him. The original owner had just washed the sheets today, and she couldn't let him get them dirty; she still needed to sleep tonight.

Ni Dazhuang looked at Xiaoli with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Li pointed to his clothes, "They're dirty, I'll wash them for you."

Ni Dazhuang understood. He took off his clothes and was about to crawl back onto the bed.

Xiao Li's face darkened. Isn't it bad to take off your clothes without showering?

She grabbed Ni Dazhuang's arm. "Dazhuang, I'll take you to take a bath and catch some fish."

Ni Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously; he liked to eat fish.

Xiao Li helped him put on his clothes, pulled his arm, and the two quietly opened the door and went out.

By this time, the Ni family had already gone to bed, and the courtyard was quiet.

The two arrived at the riverbank. It was already autumn, and there was a slight chill in the air.

Ni Dazhuang wasn't afraid of the cold. He was about to take off his clothes and go into the water when Xiaoli kicked him down.

These clothes are also very dirty, let's wash them together.

"young married woman……"

Ni Dazhuang felt a little wronged; his clothes were all wet.

Xiao Li couldn't help but laugh when she saw his aggrieved look.

When Ni Dazhuang saw Xiaoli smile, he chuckled too, though he didn't understand what his wife was laughing about.
