The General’s Wife Crosses into the 1970s: Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child

[Ancient-to-modern transmigration + a fierce daughter of a military family + taking down scumbags + period setting + ensemble elements + slice of life + golden finger + feel-good story + family drama + 1970s]

The old madam of the Zhan General's household faints from shock and anger when she learns that her only son has died on the battlefield.

When she wakes, she has transmigrated into the body of Grandma Li, an old widow in the 1970s.

The Li family has one rotten son after another, six in all.

If she can change the fates of the Li family's six troublemakers and stop them from doing evil, she can bring the Zhan family's only son back to life.

Old Madam Zhan accepts the task without hesitation.

Good grief, one look at the Li family tells her that not a single one of them is worth the trouble.

The eldest, Li Youjin, is so lazy he could grow mushrooms in bed.

The second, Li Youyin, is treacherous and hypocritical, with nothing but profit in mind.

The third, Li Youfeng, looks honest and dull, but has a vicious heart.

The fourth, Li Youcai, is greedy and stingy, and would even gnaw on a dog's bone by the roadside.

The fifth, Li Youbao, has a sharp tongue that could kill.

The youngest daughter, Li Youzhu, is selfish and self-serving, and a master of putting on an act.

Together, the family has all six vices: lazy, treacherous, cruel, gluttonous, venomous, and greedy.

The sight of this unfilial brood makes Old Madam Zhan furrow her brows.

Born into a military family, Old Madam Zhan believes that a sapling needs pruning to grow straight, and that a good beating can turn anyone into a filial child.

If a beating doesn't set them straight, then they haven't been beaten enough.

Anyone who strays from the right path and jeopardizes her son's resurrection will get the beating of a lifetime!

P.S. This is a no-brainer, feel-good story. The heroine is good at fighting. If she can't reason with you, she's also got a few tricks up her sleeve...
