The 1970s + the rise of women + short-lived parents + getting rich
Mrs. Qiao had a miserable life. When she was fifteen, her parents ordered her to be married off to a matchmaker in the next village.
After three years of marriage, Mrs. Qiao had nothing to do. In that era when unfilial piety was the most common, Mrs. Qiao's spine was broken by her husband's family. Later... Mrs. Qiao adopted a girl and gave birth to four daughters and two sons one after another.
In an era when boys were preferred over girls, the fate of girls was miserable. When she was a girl, she worked hard at her parents' house without complaining, and after she got married, she even worked as a cow and a horse.
Mrs. Qiao has been indoctrinated with this kind of thinking since she was a child, and so are her daughters. None of them can escape the prison of feudal thinking. The eldest daughter was tortured to death at her husband's house, the second daughter was insulted and died of hatred by a fool from the same village, the third daughter worked hard all her life like an old scalper, the fourth daughter and the fifth daughter ran away from home at the age of fifteen... No news.
Only the two sons have been pampered since childhood, and no matter how hard the family is, they have never suffered. Mrs. Qiao used the whole family's efforts to support her two sons' education. For so many years, the two sons had never had to do the dirty work at home.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son and the second son were like blood-sucking locusts. When they were young, they spent a lot of time and alcohol, courting cats and dogs. Even the money to marry a wife and build a house came from squeezing the bride price from the sisters above.
When Mrs. Qiao was sixty years old, her two sons carried her to the back of the mountain and forced her into a cellar to starve to death... The regret and hatred in her heart...
