Granny Li Is Reborn in the 1980s: Her Ungrateful Descendants Had Better Get Lost

[1980s + Reborn + Family Life + Ensemble Cast of Ordinary People + Taking Down Scumbags and Face-Slapping + Feel-Good Story]

Seventy-year-old Li Shufen is reborn, back in the days when her children still depend on her to toil and sacrifice for them.

In her previous life, she and her husband poured their hearts and souls into their children for decades, finding wives for their sons and raising their grandchildren. They lived as if punishing themselves, showing favoritism to ungrateful children who repaid them by abandoning their parents. In their old age, her husband got cancer and no one cared for him.

After seeing how coldhearted her children could be, Old Madam Li returns with a heart turned to stone. This time, she decides to put herself first. Any unfilial children and grandchildren can get lost. She’ll argue with anyone who crosses her, and if anything displeases her, she’ll slap them with both hands. She’ll focus on making money and keeping herself stress-free.

Ungrateful brats team up with outsiders to swindle me out of my money? I’ll slap some sense into them. Want my money? No chance!

Leeches want to take our jobs? Keep dreaming! Having parents with money is no substitute for having your own. If I lose my job and pension, who am I supposed to rely on when I’m old, ghosts?

You want to climb the ladder, and expect your parents to give their lives to support you? If you’re capable, climb. If you’re not, stay put. But if you try to suck us dry to get ahead, I’ll beat you to a pulp!

Unfilial brats are jealous that I’m giving my money to the children who treat me well? Get lost! It’s my money, and I decide what to do with it. And pay me back for everything I ever spent on you.

You threaten not to take care of me when I’m old unless I give you money? Oh, I’m so scared! Hurry up and refuse, then. With money in my hands, why should I fear having unfilial children?

Living a second life, Li Shufen realizes that when you stop caring about propriety, no one can use it to hold you hostage. Blame yourself less and scold others more. Instead of wearing yourself out with inner turmoil, go crazy and wear everyone else out. Life has never been so comfortable.
