After Getting Rich, the 1980s Farm Girl Leaves Her In-Laws Panicking

[1980s + building wealth + career success + satisfying wish-fulfillment + sweet romance + face-slapping comeback + everyday life]

When she opens her eyes, popular blogger Li Lingxi has become a newly arrived country bride in an 1980s city.

Her in-laws all have stable jobs: her father-in-law is a level-six repairman at a textile mill, her mother-in-law is the head cook in the factory canteen, her eldest brother-in-law drives a bus, and his wife works at the textile mill as a team leader. Her husband's older and younger sisters are both university students, and her husband is a trainee editor at a publishing house.

Meanwhile, she and her daughter have rural household registrations, no jobs, and no income. They live off the family, and her in-laws look down on them in every way.

As soon as she moves in, her in-laws work her like a packhorse and treat her with contempt. The resentment builds until she comes down with a high fever that no one notices, and she dies.

Li Lingxi angrily curses, "If your in-laws look down on you, get a divorce if you can. If you don't want one, work hard to improve your life. Turning your anger against yourself is the most useless thing you can do!"

A modern woman needs both financial and emotional independence. First, she leaves her in-laws' home and rents a place of her own. Then she rides the wave of reform and opening up to build her fortune.

She starts with a street stall, then builds a factory and creates her own brand. Her wealth rises steadily, and she moves into a big house and drives a car, making everyone around her envious.

She even buys the textile mill where her in-laws work and becomes their boss. Her in-laws panic and bitterly regret everything, crying and begging her to forgive them.

She gives a cold laugh. "Back then, you treated me like I didn't matter. Now I'm someone you could never hope to reach."

The man who has quietly supported his wife all along asks, looking aggrieved, "Honey, can I reach you?"
