The 1960S: A Terrible Old Woman Works as a Street Cleaner to Support Her Family

Shen An’an is reborn in the hardest three years of her life. She opens her eyes to find herself selling her daughter, and memories of her children’s tragic fates flood her mind. Selling her daughter was only the beginning in her previous life. She threw her weight around, and all nine of her children eventually left her. She sold her eldest for ten yuan to a thirty-five-year-old man, not knowing that he enjoyed beating and berating her. He beat her to death. Her second child went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables to feed the younger siblings, then accidentally fell down the slope and died. Her third… Thinking of how terribly each of her children had suffered, and of the agony of a mother outliving her children, she finally realizes that the friend she trusted has a house full of children and grandchildren and lives a happy, contented life. Only when she was dying did she understand: her children had all been sold off under pressure! She regrets it! Heaven gave her the chance to start over, but before she could even celebrate, it sent her to work at a scenic attraction. The job pays three hundred yuan a month! That’s much more than she could earn in their commune! She regrets it! Heaven gave her the chance to start over, only to send her to work as a cleaner at a scenic attraction. Seeing other people raise more than a dozen children to adulthood, she is convinced that with her monthly salary of three hundred yuan, she can raise her children well too.
