In her memory, the three fathers and mothers lived in different rooms and would not live together, as was the case in local marriage families. Her mother is married to three brothers, which means she has three fathers. Perhaps there are many women in the area who think the same as her. This is one of the biggest reasons why she does not reject partner marriages.

Together, the brothers support Nianjia, as well as three children.Īlthough in a married family, husband and wife have their own bedrooms, Nianjia can go to any husband's room, but the husband can't enter hers, and the two husbands don't mind each other's presence.īut there are still contradictions in living together, so after the husband of the Happy Horse Gang came back, sometimes the other husband lived in the house in the farmland across the mountain. The children born in Nianjia are regarded as their own, and the children call them "big dad" and "second dad". One husband ran horses outside to help support the family, and the other did farm work at home.
