Chen Wende, the eldest son of the Chen family, was gifted in studies. A few years ago, when the country resumed the college entrance examination, he became the only college student in the village. However, for some unknown reason, he was persuaded to drop out of college after only two years, and he has never recovered since then.

Chen Yu carefully selected from all over the surrounding area and set his sights on the diligent granddaughter of the Qiao family, Qiao Jiangxin. When Qiao Youcai and his wife were worried about the medical expenses for their youngest son, Chen Yu came to ask for Qiao Jiangxin's hand in marriage.

Although she knew clearly that her son Chen Wende liked Chi Suzhen, the Chen family could not afford the three turns and one ring and the betrothal gift that the Chi family required, and Chi Suzhen was not the kind of hardworking woman who could work hard in the fields to support the entire Chen family.

Chen Wende is a handsome and well-mannered man, and he is also the only person in the village who has attended university. Qiao Youcai and Liu Afang believe from the bottom of their hearts that this is a good match. After asking Qiao Jiangxin's opinion, they nodded and agreed to the marriage.

In the end, the youngest son was not kept, Qiao Jiang was heartbroken, his father could not bear the blow and his body collapsed, and his uncle also ruined his body by working hard to raise medical expenses for his father.

Qiao Jiangxin married into the Chen family and worked like a slave, cultivating the family's fields, managing the family's life, and supporting her husband, a scholar, her parents-in-law, and her younger siblings.

Chen Wende, the husband who was "unappreciated for his talent", seemed to be oblivious to the empty rice jar at home and the patches all over his wife's body. He stayed in his room every day to write his obscure poems.

The whole family firmly believed that Chen Wende's manuscripts could be exchanged for money, but what they got was the publishing house rejecting their manuscripts again and again.

Qiao Jiangxin acted like a man, carrying vegetables to sell, carrying bricks to the fields, and working as a waiter everywhere, earning one or two dollars at a time.

She encouraged the frustrated husband again and again. Finally, more than ten years later, people's lives improved and everyone had spare money. Chen Wende gave up his poetry and prose and started writing novels at the suggestion of Qiao Jiangxin, which became an instant hit.

The Chen family's life has undergone tremendous changes. They now have a large apartment, delicious food, and health products. They no longer like their wife who only farms the land, and the divorced Chi Suzhen has returned.

Chen's father Chen Qi felt that he owed his son for marrying his great writer son to such an uneducated country girl. They looked down upon Qiao Jiangxin, and her younger brothers and sisters even felt that this sister-in-law was a burden to their godlike brother.

Including her own son Chen Zhi, everyone thinks that Qiao Jiangxin is not worthy of Chen Wende. They all wish she would die sooner so that Chen Wende and Chi Suzhen, the star-crossed couple, can be reunited.

Everyone was waiting for Qiao Jiangxin to file for divorce. Chen Wende had lived a respectable life, and his character as a scholar would not allow him to abandon his wife and children. Qiao Jiangxin hated him and left her isolated and helpless.

Chi Suzhen moved in with everyone's tacit consent. Chen Wende took Chi Suzhen to live everywhere and bought her silk scarves worth thousands of dollars and bracelets worth tens of thousands of dollars. He played the piano when Chi Suzhen sang and accompanied her when she danced. The lovers who had been separated for thirty years reunited.

Qiao Jiangxin, who had dedicated her entire life to the Chen family, knelt down and asked Chen Wende for 10,000 yuan for surgery to save her mother, but she did not ask for money.

The entire Chen family has forgotten that when the villagers occupied the Chen family's land, it was the brothers Qiao Youcai and Liu Afang who fought with others with hoes in their hands and snatched back the two ridges of land from the Chen family.

There was no rice at home. In order to protect Chen Wende's reputation, Liu Afang secretly sent food to him in the middle of the night again and again without telling the villagers...

Finally, after Liu Afang died in his arms, Qiao Jiangxin was completely desperate.

She bought three packets of Sanbudao from a vendor selling rat poison in the market and cooked them into a pot of soup for the Chen family.

Looking at them twisting on the ground in agony, begging for help and repenting, he set a fire amid their pleas, and died together with the Chen family.

Before Qiao Jiangxin came back to his senses, the yelling and cursing of her nephew Lei Honghua was heard outside the house.

"Qiao Jiangxin, why are you still lying in the house? Don't you see that the people who work are almost back? You are almost old enough to go out, but you are still pretending to be sick. You are shameless. Your grandfather is already sixty years old, and he is still working in the fields under the sun~"

When Qiao Jiangxin heard the shouting and cursing, a flash of blood flashed across her eyes. If the Chen family was the devil that pushed her into a desperate situation, then Lei Honghua was the culprit that led to the destruction of her family.
