This is a guy who has a farm next to a river. There is a girl squatting in a hooch/abandoned car at the other side. She had been looking for job at the nearby town but no luck, she dumpster-dove for food. There is a flood, the guy remembers the hooch and goes to look. He finds her almost dead with fever, crying in the cabin. He rescues her, gives her shelter. When they go to the town she finds an fat man who she had to give sex for food once. He tries to take her, but the guy defends her and beats the fat man. In the end they marry and stuff.
Does anybody remember this story?
