Original text of Xu Dishan's Spring Peach

Chuntao is a simple, dignified and unforgettable professional woman. On her wedding day, she was robbed by soldiers and bandits and lived in Beijing. She didn't want to be a maid for foreigners who smelled of coquettish, so she took paper as her occupation and lived a simple and equal life with her friend Liu, who met by chance.

One day, Chuntao went out to pick up paper as usual, but met her long-lost husband Li Mao at the back door of Shichahai. It turned out that after he separated from Chuntao, he went to Shenyang to be a soldier for several years. Later, his leg was injured by the enemy and was forced to be amputated because he was not treated in time. After leaving the hospital, he had nowhere to join but to beg.

Chuntao was so sad that she immediately took Li Mao home to live with her. At the beginning, Liu and Li Maogang didn't get along naturally. Because of the shackles of traditional ethics, both of them stumbled. Later, after discussion, they concluded a contract, which stipulated that Li Mao would return Chuntao to Liu.

Chuntao strongly disagreed and said, "Why don't we just live like this?" The idea of Chuntao is: Li Mao is the master at home and picks up paper; Liu deals in take-away goods; I still pick up paper, and they "start a company with three people."

That night, Liu suddenly ran away. Chuntao looked everywhere, but no one was there. Li Mao hung himself on the window lattice with a belt and tried to commit suicide, but Chuntao, who was driven home, was rescued in time.

Chuntao spent a few days in a depressed mood. Xiang Gao finally wandered outside for two days and then returned home. He negotiated with Li Mao that he was the "head of the family". Li Mao lives together, and Chuntao is their daughter-in-law. These three people lived a simple and happy life again.
