Reborn in the 1990s: A Happy Life

Liu Juan woke up one morning to find herself back forty years in the past, in 1990.

In her previous life, she had left home to work when her children were young, leaving her son and daughter behind in the village. Her daughter turned out fine, but now that her son was in his thirties, he still couldn't hold down a job, working for three days then slacking off for two. He had never kept a job for long, never married, and often relied on his sister for money.

This time, she was back.

She would use her knowledge of the future to make money and make sure her children never became left-behind kids again.

She started with the simplest thing: setting up a stall to sell everyday goods, then grilled sausages and milk tea, fried stinky tofu, and eventually opening a hotpot restaurant.

The villagers only saw the Zhou family heading into town, returning each time with beaming faces.

By the time people figured out what they were doing, the Zhou family had already started buying houses and storefronts, and their business had grown and grown. Word was, they had even built a chain, with people lining up to eat at their restaurants in the city.

Goodness, just how much money must they be making?

While everyone gaped in amazement, the Zhou family launched another venture, leasing vast tracts of land to plant fruit trees, setting up some kind of farm stay, and even developing hot springs.

The Zhou family bought one house after another, and every car parked outside was more expensive than the last.
