The Rugged Man Can Read Minds: The Spicy 1970s Wife Loves Gossip and Stockpiling

[Gossip System + Male Lead Can Read Minds + Supply Rewards + Feel-Good Story + Raising Kids]

Yang Xue transmigrates into the countryside of the 1970s as a shrewish woman, just as her rough-and-tumble husband is about to kick her out for making his life miserable.

Her troublesome children are impossible to manage, making her the village elders’ prime example of how “a bad wife ruins three generations.”

Hard mode from the start. Yang Xue plants her hands on her hips and laughs at the sky: “I’m a shrew! Who am I supposed to be afraid of?”

With a Gossip System at her disposal, she has fun taking on her biased mother-in-law and putting her greedy brother-in-law’s family in their place. She also gathers supplies and changes her whole family’s fate as cannon fodder.

Fu Haiming has had enough of his wife’s antics and resolves to stop indulging her. He goes straight to asking for a divorce.

“After the divorce, I’ll leave with nothing. You can have the house and the money, but I’m taking all the kids.”

To keep enjoying the gossip without breaking character, Yang Xue refuses to divorce him, though inwardly she grumbles.

[Divorce? Whoever doesn’t want one is a little dog. I just feel sorry for the kids. After the divorce, the stepmother you find for them will abuse them terribly, and you won’t lift a finger. Sure enough, once there’s a stepmother, there’s a stepfather.]

Hearing her thoughts, the man grits his back teeth and changes his mind about the divorce.

Yang Xue doesn’t care what he’s thinking. She’s too absorbed in the gossip to get enough of it.

Wow! Her sister-in-law is gorgeous and adorable, but she has terrible taste in men. She falls for an old guy and becomes his second wife, spending her whole life working like an ox and a horse while he swindles her out of her savings. What a tragedy!

[Ding! Stop a scumbag from tricking someone into marriage and earn a supply reward.]

Yang Xue charges ahead on her gossip-fueled journey, eventually becoming the director of the Women’s Federation. Life just keeps getting better.

Fu Haiming: “Honey, take it easy. Your man’s a bureau chief, you know. Everyone in the gossip circle is saying I live off my wife!”
