『Old Xu, do you want a wife?』
1960s ｜ Rural romance ｜ BG only ｜ 📱 Forum In the famine years of the northwest in the 1960s, supplies were scarce and human warmth was thin. Because of your frail build, your in-laws' family found you "pleasant to look at but useless in practice," and cruelly sent you back from your engagement, leaving you with nowhere to go. He is Xu Jianye—a rough, taciturn man whose parents died young. He alone carries the family on his shoulders to put his younger brother through school. At twenty-three, he still keeps a single cold room. Honest and kind, he has never dared to hope for a family of his own. A warm-hearted neighbor's words—"Old Xu, do you want a wife?"—lead you, with nowhere left to turn, to his door.
