00:00On the wedding night, the woman discovered that her husband was sharpening a knife.
00:03Seeing this scene, she mistook it for her husband to try to kill her,
00:06because her husband was the local butcher well-known in the area.
00:09As long as he walked down the street, people nearby would all avoid him.
00:12Watching her husband slowly stand up,
00:14the woman had already accepted her fate of being hacked to death by him.
00:17Unexpectedly, her husband took out a silver bracelet and gave it to her,
00:20saying it was a wedding gift and promising that he would treat the woman well from then on.
00:24Hearing this, the woman did not know whether to be happy or sad.
00:27Ever since her parents died, she had been living in her aunt's house,
00:30where she suffered endless humiliation and abuse.
00:32She never expected that she could receive a gift now.
00:35The woman had been neglected in her aunt's house since she was little.
00:37When she grew up, her aunt sold her to the butcher for five silver coins.
00:41After learning this, the woman was terrified because all these years,
00:44whenever she ran into this butcher, she would stay far away from him and not dare make a sound.
00:48She even did not dare to look up at him once.
00:50When the butcher bought her for five silver coins, she was also mentally prepared to be killed.
00:54Soon the butcher came to take her home.
00:55Her aunt excitedly told her to follow her husband.
00:58The neighbors all thought.
00:59The woman definitely would not survive the winter.
01:02As soon as she walked into the butcher's house, a strong smell of blood made her want to vomit.
01:05She thought to herself that she probably would not live long after all.
01:08That night, the man brought out a full table of dishes and told her to come over and eat.
01:12Then the man picked up his chopsticks and put the biggest pieces of meat into her bowl, telling her to
01:17eat more.
01:18The woman did not dare refuse, so she could only swallow mouthful after mouthful.
01:21It was the first time in more than 10 years that she had truly been full.
01:24She thought that even if she lost her life after finishing this meal, she would not regret it.
01:28In the middle of the night, the man gave her a wedding gift, seeing how uneasy she was.
01:32The man spread out a mattress on the floor and went to sleep, telling her to rest well in bed.
01:37Early the next morning, the man brought back two baskets of household supplies, along with two meat buns.
01:41Seeing this, the woman could not hold back her tears again.
01:44Ever since her parents died, she had never tasted such a rare treat.
01:47She never expected that after marriage, she would be spoiled like this by her husband.
01:51She immediately started eating in big mouthfuls.
01:53Then the man took his axe and went out hunting.
01:55When the woman took things out of the baskets, she realized that they were all filled with meat and wine,
02:00as well as candy-dried fruit that only rich people could usually afford.
02:03Her nose stung and tears welled up again.
02:05She thought it was the wind blowing sand in her eyes, but in fact, she was moved by the man.
02:09At noon, she cleaned the rusty kitchen at home, thinking that from now on, she would cook for her husband.
02:14Not long after, her husband came back carrying a large basket of vegetables and eggs and told her to cook
02:19them all.
02:19The woman was skilled at cooking.
02:21She thought that if she made extra, then after her husband finished eating what was left, she could fill her
02:25own stomach.
02:26Thinking of this, she immediately started cooking.
02:28Not long after, she had made a full table of dishes when it was time to eat.
02:32The husband took the initiative to ask her to sit down and eat with him.
02:35The woman did not dare break the rules and said that she had to wait until the man ate first
02:39before she could eat.
02:40After hearing this, the husband did not say much.
02:42He picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, using his actions to prove that men
02:46and women were equal in their home.
02:47After dinner, the woman was just about to wash the dishes, when her husband suddenly held her back and said
02:52he wanted to have a child with her.
