Reborn: I Became the Wicked Wife in the 1980S

[Period setting + raising children + family life] In her previous life, Zhou Tong was meek and timid, and her mother-in-law held all the power in the household. She took care of everything at home and outside, while also waiting on the whole family. Her eldest brother-in-law and his wife were lazy freeloaders, and her mother-in-law was both biased and cruel. “Women are brought into a family to work. If you won’t do it, I’ll have my son divorce you!” “Little sister-in-law, I’m not well enough to do much. I’ll have to leave everything at home to you!” Zhou Tong thought they were all family. A harmonious family brings prosperity, so she didn’t make an issue of it. But her brother-in-law, his wife, and her mother-in-law only grew more unreasonable. Her husband worked hard away from home, but not a cent of his earnings ever reached her. Her mother-in-law gave it all to the eldest son’s family. Even her children were treated differently. Her daughter was sensible and well-behaved, but her mother-in-law sent her away early, marrying her off to a man twenty years older. Her son was selfish and spoiled until he became useless. As Zhou Tong lay dying in bed, she looked at the dilapidated home around her. Her heart was filled with regret. If she had another life, she would make sure to be a “wicked daughter-in-law”! To hell with keeping the peace in the family! * When Zhou Tong opened her eyes again, she had returned to twenty years earlier. Her children were still young. Her mother-in-law sat with one leg crossed over the other, pointing at her and cursing her out. Zhou Tong flipped the table right over. If I can’t have a good life, neither can anyone else! Her brother-in-law and his wife could forget about staying at home and making her wait on them! And she would take control of the family finances! The old Mrs. Gu couldn’t believe how much her second daughter-in-law had changed lately. Say one thing to her, and she’d shoot back with ten. Curse her out, and she’d come at you with a broom!
