Reborn in 1989: Three Daughters, and Life Is So Sweet

Gao Mei is reborn at the moment her youngest daughter is born. It's 1989!

She looks back on her life. In her determination to have a son, she gave birth to seven children, but only three daughters survived. Her husband's family despised her, her husband gave up on life and spent every day playing cards with his no-good friends, and her own weakness led to tragedy for her three daughters. Later, her husband's older brother's family took everything from them, and in the end neither she nor her husband met a good end.

Now reborn, Gao Mei looks at the baby girl in her arms, and her eldest and second daughters by the door. Given a second chance at life, she resolves to become strong and be a good mother, to protect her daughters and refuse to keep having children with her husband. She'll reform that useless man who favors sons over daughters. Why should he get off easy? Why should he be allowed to marry someone else and have a son, leaving her daughters without a father? In her previous life, she put up with everything. This time, if they can't get along peacefully, then bring it on. Let's make each other suffer! Why not put free labor to good use?

In this new life, she must seize every chance to make money. With no skills or capital, she'll start by making steamed buns. As soon as the road to town is finished, she'll buy a plot and build a house with a wholesale shop. Then she'll expand into the county seat, with her next goal being to open the county's first supermarket. She'll focus on both the economy and education, and raise her children to be outstanding. She doesn't ask for much in this life: once she's earned enough, she'll buy a plot near the county seat and build a little house to retire in. That will be plenty!
