Reborn as a Vicious Mother-in-Law, I Feed the Whole Family Meat at Every Meal

Family life + a slow, steady pace + building prosperity + no romance

Before she opened her eyes, she was a twenty-five-year-old graduate student in medical aesthetics, about to enter the workforce and achieve financial freedom. Her future had never looked brighter.

After she opened them, she was a thirty-five-year-old widow, mother to four sons and a daughter, and grandmother to three children. Her family’s mud-brick house had crumbling walls and a roof whose gaps were stuffed with thatch. They’d spent everything to put her third and fourth sons through school, could barely afford to eat, and were about to sell their granddaughter.

Jiang Cuilian could only think, what a disaster.

Was Heaven messing with her? She’d only aged ten years, yet everyone called her an old woman. Why did she have to be both a mother and a grandmother? And worst of all, her predecessor had been a vicious, foolish, biased mother-in-law who’d raised her children to be a pack of troublemakers?

The old woman sold her granddaughter, causing her second daughter-in-law and unborn child to die in childbirth. Her second son became a walking corpse and treated her like a stranger.

She squeezed her eldest son’s family dry to support her beloved third and fourth sons. Now the eldest hated her, while the fourth, whom she doted on most, used his studies as an excuse to take up gambling and ended up sold to a brothel as a male prostitute.

The third son was talented but immoral. After passing the county-level civil service exam, he and his mother plotted to divorce his wife and replace her with a noblewoman, driving his child bride to jump into a river.

They had no idea that the child bride’s long-lost brother had become a great general. In the end, he sent the whole family to the execution block.

Jiang Cuilian slapped herself, wincing at the pain, then had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and get to work.

If the children had gone astray, she’d slap them straight.

If the family was poor, she’d use her modern medical-aesthetics skills to build a fortune.
