It feels so tiring to marry a rural wife. My parents’ incomprehension caused me to lose her in the end.

I have lived in the city since I was a child, and I am used to seeing those pampered little girls in the city, so when it came to my marriage choice, my family also supported me very much in marrying a wife from the countryside. But after I got married, I discovered that there were more and more irreconcilable conflicts between my wife and me. It felt so tiring to marry a rural wife, and we eventually got divorced.

When I met Bai Jun, I had just fallen out of love.

Bai Jun’s gentleness and thoughtfulness diverted the pain of my lovelorn. Six months later, we confirmed our relationship. Not long after, they got married at the urging of their family.

My mother said that when you want to marry a wife, you have to choose someone from the countryside. Girls in the city are too squeamish, but girls in the countryside can endure hardships. Bai Jun, this kid, can do it.

My family is in good condition. I have a house in the city and a self-built house in the countryside. My parents also have pensions. I don’t need to bear the burden of retirement. Such conditions are much better than those of Bai Jun's family. Bai Jun's parents are both farmers and he has two younger siblings who are in college. If Bai Jun hadn't graduated from technical secondary school early to help the family and relied on his family's few acres of land to support his younger siblings in their studies, those days would have been even more difficult.

Rural girls can indeed endure hardships and are considerate. Compared to my ex-girlfriend who was spoiled, overbearing and extravagant, I think marrying Bai Jun is simply a wise move.

When Bai Jun made a deposit before getting married, she told me that her parents had no requirements for the gift, they just wanted me to treat her well. I forwarded the message to my parents, who looked satisfied and felt more and more that they had done the right thing in letting me marry Bai Jun.

As far as I know, when the son of a colleague of my father’s work gets married, the amount of the gift can be enough to pay for the down payment of a house. The daughter-in-law who got married with high gifts still antagonizes them in every way. Colleagues often sigh, it would be better to marry a daughter-in-law from the countryside. This time, many years of savings are exchanged for a daughter-in-law who does not know what to do. Alas.

This incident left a thorn in the heart of my parents. Although my family had some spare money, it was not worth spending so much money to marry a woman with a domineering temperament and personality.

After marriage, Bai Jun took on the responsibility of taking care of the family. She would get up before dawn every day to make breakfast for the family. I asked her to sleep a little longer, but she said she was used to it and couldn't lie down anymore.
