Synopsis

“The eldest grandson and youngest son are the old lady’s treasures.” As the youngest son in the family, Chen Shaohua grows up pampered by his parents and free to do as he pleases. He inherits his mother’s selfish, demanding nature and his father’s habit of turning a blind eye to anything that doesn’t concern him, becoming a good-for-nothing who spends his whole life loafing around. It’s one thing when he’s the one enjoying himself. But when his own son turns out the same way, it feels like karma coming back to bite him, and it doesn’t miss. Only then does he realize he has become a lonely man, disliked by everyone. Does he regret it? He regrets it bitterly. But by then, he is already old and frail. Determined not to go on living like this, he deliberately crashes his car and dies. He no longer cares what happens after death. At least the insurance payout means he’s done his part. Who would have thought that when he opened his eyes again, he’d be back in his childhood? Back when his big brother and sister-in-law were still around, and all his relatives and friends were by his side. This time, he resolves to turn over a new leaf and become a better person. He’ll look after his family and work hard to give them a steady, comfortable life. And in this era full of temptations and challenges, he’ll win back his dignity.

How should I put it? Although this is a rebirth novel, it is very different from the current online novels and cool novels. A large part of the time now, such as doing business or whatnot, can be said to be fantasy. I think you will be a prophet after being reborn or have a system. No one is as good as you. You are not an ordinary person. Even if you are reborn or have a system, you may not be better. For example, if you suddenly win the lottery and become rich, it will be like becoming an upper class and a social elite. It may be possible, but it is not enough. On the contrary, this novel is very realistic. Including all the bad things in the family, it can be said that life is really good.

Finished reading on February 20, 2025, a different story about rebirth, strange relatives, and mother-in-law... The male protagonist is not lofty, but he is so real and down-to-earth... [Like] [Like] [Like]

It's an ordinary book, but it's worth reading. There are indeed some top-notch ones. You can skip it if it's too troublesome, and it won't affect the plot. The male protagonist doesn't have particularly big ambitions. After being reborn, he improved the lives of himself and his family to the best of his ability. It's not bad.

It's so well written, it's not spacey or systematic, it's very real. Seeing his mother rolling around and moaning and screaming felt like it was right in front of me. It must be the old son, and the old son must have a conscience! Write more, don't read enough!

It's pretty good, except for some of the best ones from my mother's generation, everything else is pretty good. Brothers, sisters, cousins, cousins, etc. Are also very united.

The writing is quite good. Although I didn't have as many achievements as others after being reborn, it changed my life and the lives of my family and friends, which is already good.

Overall, it's good. It's all about family trivial matters and daily social life, not so much awesome stuff. This is a very realistic book

It's quite good-looking. It's not the kind of yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyquick-finger-gold-finger-bumping kind of thing that's written. It's written with a real sense of life.
