The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

At that time, she truly felt content.

But all of her satisfaction crumbled with the arrival of Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao was an intellectual, and from the moment she entered their village, she hardly suffered. Instead, she took on the enviable job allocation, teaching at the school—simply giving some lessons to the children was enough.

Her mother-in-law was good to her too, discussing everything with her, unlike how she treated her, like a lowly servant.

Ruan Jianguo was especially fond of her, she remembered one year during farm work, when the sun was scorching, Shu Jiao fainted after just half an hour in the field. Ruan Jianguo carried her around the village looking for Doctor Lu, and it turned out she was pregnant and couldn’t withstand the hard work.

After that, Ruan Jianguo would rather do the work of two people by himself than let her step into the fields again.

At the time, she thought Shu Jiao was overly delicate. Which rural woman wasn’t working while pregnant? Why was it that she alone couldn’t do it?

It was the season for harvesting peanuts. Since Shu Jiao couldn’t go to the fields, she stayed home to pluck peanuts.

But after just half a day, Ruan Jianguo wouldn’t let her work anymore, simply because her fingers had blistered from shelling peanuts. She even saw Ruan Jianguo kneeling on one knee beside Shu Jiao’s bed, kissing the palm of her hand, his voice hoarsely expressing sorrow for the blisters she got from shelling peanuts.

Standing outside the door at that time, she looked at Shu Jiao’s delicate hands and then her own rough, dark hands, and inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
