12-year-old Lin Xiaoman had just lost her mother when her father married Zhou Guilan, a "rough-hewn stepmother"—broad-shouldered enough to carry two sacks of rice, with a voice loud enough to shatter bowls.

But Zhou shouldered the family's debts, used her "shrewish tricks" to chase away the bully who harassed Xiaoman, and even snuck to the county town at midnight to sell vegetables, quietly saving money for Xiaoman's tuition. When Xiaoman found the admission letter hidden under Zhou's pillow, she finally understood: this woman with "plenty of strength and tricks" held the softest heart.
