Reborn in the 1980s: Granny Chen Trains Her Wayward Descendants

[1980s + Reborn + Everyday Family Life + A Different Life]

In her previous life, Chen Baozhu had her husband give up his secure government job to their younger son so he could marry a wife.

Her younger son and daughter-in-law made all the right promises, saying that when she and her husband grew old and could no longer walk, they would care for them until the end.

Chen Baozhu and her husband had two sons and a daughter, but the child they doted on most was their smooth-talking younger son.

They poured most of their affection into his family, giving no thought to the feelings of their older son and his wife. Even their daughter came after the younger son's family.

Later, their daughter couldn't take any more abuse from her violent husband and drank pesticide to end her life.

Their older son, resentful and neglected by Chen Baozhu and her husband, grew volatile and hot-tempered. He was beaten to death in a drunken brawl, and his wife eventually left with their granddaughter.

By middle age, Chen Baozhu had only one child left to rely on: her younger son.

For decades, she and her husband worked themselves to the bone for his family, spending all their savings on them.

She had assumed her younger son would care for them in their old age, but when her husband became seriously ill, he not only refused to pay for his father's treatment, but drove the two of them back to their rural hometown to fend for themselves.

Chen Baozhu tearfully said goodbye to her husband, then spent the rest of her miserable life consumed by regret.

When she opened her eyes again, Chen Baozhu discovered she had returned to the age of forty-three.

At this point, her younger son was still unmarried, and her husband's secure government job was still intact.
