The 1980S: After Being Reborn, Old Lady Li Goes Mad

[Period setting] + [Reborn] + [Light ensemble cast] + [Family life] + [Face-slapping] In her previous life, Li Xuemei had four sons and one daughter. She spent her whole life working herself to the bone for her children, buying them homes and cars, arranging their weddings, and helping raise their kids. When she grew old and useless, her unfilial children dumped her in a nursing home and left her there. Her health finally gave out, and as she was being taken to the hospital, she overheard her children and daughters-in-law talking as she lay on her deathbed. So, one by one, they had all been wishing she would hurry up and die. Why had she worked so hard her entire life? Was it all for these wretches? Reborn thirty years earlier, she was now forty-five. She had a secure job at the factory. Her children were still decent to her then, since they depended on her for support and expected her to help buy their homes and arrange their marriages... But how could she, now reborn, keep serving those unfilial wretches like she had in her previous life? The house is hers. Want to live there? Pay rent. She buys the food. Want to eat? Pay up. Her eldest son wants her to buy him a house and arrange his wedding? Ha! Get lost. Marry or don't, it's up to you. Buy your own house. Her second son wants to go abroad and asks his mother to pay for it? Ha! What do I owe you? Get lost... Her third son wants to start a business and asks his mother for the capital? Dream on. Go wherever you please and stay there. Her youngest son does nothing but freeload. “Mom, give me some spending money.” Ha! Get lost. You're a piece of garbage. Go beg in the street and fend for yourself. As far as I'm concerned, I never gave birth to you... Her daughter wants to get married and asks for the traditional dowry of a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a wristwatch. Ha! Go elope with your abusive boyfriend. You're not getting a cent from me.
