Widowed in the 1970s and Kicked Out? I'll Empty My In-Laws' Home and Raise the Kids

In her previous life, Lin Laidi gave birth to four daughters in a row.

Her in-laws and sisters-in-law bullied her at every turn.

Her sisters-in-law often said, “A woman without a son will be a lonely ghost after she dies. There won't even be anyone to smash the bowl at her funeral. Poor thing.”

Her mother-in-law said, “Raising a daughter is worse than raising a dog. What a fool. How did my Zhu Mo end up with such a useless woman?”

Later, her in-laws and sisters-in-law brainwashed her, saying daughters were useless, but a nephew was half a son. They told her to raise her nephew as her own, so she'd have someone to rely on when she was old and someone to smash the bowl at her funeral.

She wanted her daughters to have a family to turn to, too, so she believed them and raised her nephew as her son, saving all the best food, drinks, and money for him.

In the end, she failed to raise her daughters well. Each became a troubled girl. She worked herself to death, her husband died in an accident, and her daughters were sold. No one in the family had a happy ending.

Now that she has a second chance at life, what's wrong with having daughters? They are her pride. Anyone who messes with her will bring out the shrew in her.

Afterward, her meddling, troublemaking mother-in-law could only glare at her in anger and keep quiet.

Her scheming sisters-in-law cowered like mice before a cat.

Even her husband, once a mama's boy, became completely henpecked. His answer to everything was, “I'll talk it over with my wife.”

Lin Laidi built a thriving life for herself. She was bold and fearless, raised pigs, sold stuffed pancakes, opened a furniture factory, and took her daughters all over the country.

Not only did she make her own life wonderful, but each of her four daughters grew up more outstanding than the last.

The people who once bullied her for not having a son now fawned on her like lapdogs.
