Shi Yulan was widowed at a young age and raised her four children with great hardship. She thought that when she grew old, she would be surrounded by children and grandchildren, with the whole family living together in harmony.
Who could have guessed that every one of her children would grow distant from her?
Her eldest daughter went to work at a young age just to help support the family. After getting married, she settled far away.
Her second son did live with her, but he was henpecked and useless. His wife not only sent money to her own family, but also looked down on Shi Yulan for being too old to work, hinting that she should leave.
Her third daughter was calculating and cared only about pleasing her in-laws, bleeding her own family dry. Even as Shi Yulan lay dying, she was still trying to get her hands on her money.
Her youngest daughter was in poor health. After finally raising her to adulthood, Shi Yulan found she was overly sensitive, crying at the drop of a hat and falling ill whenever she did. In the end, she married into a family where she was mistreated every day.
This whole family had no end of problems, and without her, who knew what would have happened?
And yet she actually died of hunger in the end! The People's Republic of China had been founded so many years ago, and the famine had been over for ages.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the 1990s. Looking at her family before her, Shi Yulan decided she would no longer be their human ATM. Hands on her hips, she was going to set her children straight!
I still feel miserable in my previous life, and after my rebirth, I whitewash my wolf son, my daughter-in-law, and my son-in-law, and then continue to write about my old mother. Stop writing, no one will read it.
