Cherry Blossoms Falling

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter.
Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed?
Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money.
Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The men went up the mountain to chop bamboo and made some sellable items at home, which they then took to the town to exchange for some grain and cash.


If the bamboo chairs and bamboo tables at home were broken, they would also need to be repaired or remade.


The women needle-worked shoe soles, made clothes for spring and summer, and embroidered handkerchiefs among other things. In short, the people of the farm were busy throughout all the seasons of the year.


Wang Shun's mother carried a basket to Gu Youyou's house to mooch some fire, and at the same time, she taught Gu Youyou some handicrafts.


Gu Youyou was ill and couldn't be away from the stove in the cold weather, but ordinary families didn't keep a fire going—it was too wasteful.


Wang Shun's mother was going to embroider handkerchiefs anyway, so by going to Gu Youyou's house, not only could she teach her, but she could also enjoy the warmth of the fire and have a chat with Gu Youyou, which made both of them happy.
