Reborn in the 1980S: While My Scumbag Father Runs the Sewing Machine, We Feast on Meat

In his previous life, Shen Xuan was raised by his stepmother to believe that filial piety came above all else. He obeyed her and his father in everything, growing distant from his biological older brother and younger sister. His older brother went to work in the mines to earn money, but the mine collapsed, and falling rocks crushed him to death. His father said, “Your idiot brother did it all to put you through college. You owe him, so make it up to your younger brother and let your big brother be laid to rest soon.” Shen Xuan was overcome with grief, guilt, and self-blame. But his father and stepmother immediately went after the compensation money, profiting from his brother’s death and burying his remains in some random mountain grave. His younger sister was married off, suffered domestic abuse, and came home begging for help. His stepmother said, “A married daughter is like water poured out. Family matters should be settled behind closed doors.” His sister ended up hanging herself, and his father and stepmother sold her remains for a ghost marriage. He worked hard to earn a living running a clinic, but his father and stepmother used the line that the kindness of raising him outweighed the debt of giving him life to bleed him dry for thirty years, all while living comfortably. He had no money, couldn’t eat his fill or sleep well, and his health gradually fell apart. With terminal stomach cancer, he was abandoned in a hospital corridor, where he watched his life ebb away bit by bit. In the afterlife, he saw his father and stepmother living in happiness and comfort, while the three siblings had been drained to the bone and met tragic ends! After being reborn, Shen Xuan understood that showing kindness to the wrong people only enables evil. So he became a scheming, amoral, brooding, deranged poison doctor.
