A Spring Breeze in the Twelfth Lunar Month
For ten years, Chen Xiuyun has worked the sewing machine by day and smoked cured meat by night, until the salt has cracked the skin of her fingers. Yet the fattiest cured pork and the most fragrant sausages are taken away every year by her younger brother-in-law, who arrives with a handcart. Her husband remains silent, while her mother-in-law insists that this is what she should do. Even the money their own son spent three years saving by collecting scrap metal for a bicycle was secretly stolen by her husband to buy expensive wedding gifts for his younger brother. This year, she is done preparing anything for them. There is only half a crock of sweet potatoes left. After enduring ten years of mistreatment, she has finally decided that she will endure no more.

Selama sepuluh tahun, Chen Xiuyun menginjak pedal mesin jahit pada siang hari dan mengasapi daging awetan pada malam hari, hingga jari-jarinya pecah-pecah akibat garam. Namun, daging babi awetan yang paling berlemak dan sosis yang paling harum selalu dibawa pergi setiap tahun oleh adik iparnya yang datang dengan gerobak tangan. Suaminya hanya diam, sementara ibu mertuanya berkata bahwa memang sudah seharusnya begitu. Bahkan uang yang dikumpulkan putra kandungnya selama tiga tahun dari mengumpulkan besi tua untuk membeli sepeda pun dicuri oleh suaminya demi membelikan barang-barang mahal untuk pernikahan adiknya. Tahun ini, dia tidak akan menyiapkan apa pun lagi. Di dalam tempayan tanah liat hanya tersisa setengah tempayan ubi jalar. Setelah bertahan selama sepuluh tahun, akhirnya dia tak ingin bersabar lagi.
