Granny Zhang Is Reborn in the 1980S and Hammers Her Good-for-Nothing Descendants

【Period】+【Family Life】+【Gourmet】+【Light Ensemble Cast】 Zhang Dalian was ambitious and determined to excel. She rallied the whole family to help her eldest son’s family move to the city. After her only grandson beat her so badly she was crippled, they abandoned her and dumped her back in the countryside. Her second daughter-in-law, whose husband had died and who had no sons, put the past aside and took her in. The second daughter-in-law was so poor she couldn’t afford to pay for Zhang Dalian’s medical care. While gathering herbs, she fell off a cliff and died. Confined to her bed, Zhang Dalian starved to death. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to eight years earlier. Her unfilial eldest son got a slap across the face, and a lesson in how to behave. When her eldest daughter-in-law shirked her duties, Zhang Dalian gave her every dirty, exhausting chore in the house. If she refused, they’d split the family up. Her grandson thought being the family’s only male heir entitled him to eat well and do no work. If he wouldn’t work, he could go hungry. Her eldest son’s family ganged up on her and demanded that she give her son, the only one eligible to attend vocational school, his sole chance to study, or they’d cut ties with her? If they wanted to cut ties, then they could do it properly. In this family, being male gave you no special privileges. Ability was what mattered. Anyone who wanted to stir up trouble in this family could get out. She never expected her decisive, iron-fisted methods would instead turn the family into a happy home, with a virtuous wife and filial children, admired by every village for miles around.
