A Gold-Digging Freeloader? The Wicked Mother-in-Law Is Reborn and Only Cares About Her Daughter-in-Law

In her past life, Wu Youhua disapproved of her son marrying a city girl. Even when her daughter-in-law died in childbirth, she never showed up.

Everyone called her a wicked mother-in-law, hard-hearted and utterly lacking in compassion.

Later, her son married a new wife and had a child, then brought Wu Youhua to the city to live with them. She thought she would finally enjoy a good life, but in truth, she had been brought there to work as a servant.

After she worked herself to the bone raising her grandson until he was old enough to start school, her daughter-in-law decided she was no longer useful and pushed her down the stairs.

Only as she lay dying did she learn that her son had ordered it all.

What was more, they had also caused his first wife’s death. While she was pregnant, the two of them had already been carrying on behind her back.

They coveted her family’s wealth and schemed to kill both mother and baby, hoping to inherit everything.

To make sure the first wife had no one to rely on, they had deliberately driven a wedge between her and Wu Youhua, creating misunderstandings between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Wu Youhua felt utterly ridiculous. She had been widowed young and refused to remarry so her son would not be bullied.

She had struggled to raise him, only to bring up an ungrateful wretch who egged his wife on to push her down the stairs and kill her!

When she opened her eyes again, Wu Youhua found herself reborn to a time when her first daughter-in-law was still alive. This time, she had made up her mind: she would get rid of the son and keep the daughter-in-law, then crush that ungrateful wretch who wanted to steal the family fortune!

With her no-good son out of the picture, Wu Youhua’s days became full and happy.

She studied reading and writing with her daughter-in-law, and even started writing novels.

When the country opened up, she went into business and made a fortune.

Most surprising of all, she remarried, and her new husband was an army officer!
