The Downtrodden Old Woman Is Reborn: She Dumps Her Husband and Kids and Thrives

In her previous life, Lin Ruying worked herself to the bone for the Lu family. Her husband beat and berated her, then blamed her for being unable to have children.

She gave her whole heart to her two adopted sons, gave up her job and all her compensation from the demolition, and raised her grandsons. But when she grew old and frail, they drove her out of the house.

She broke her leg collecting scrap and nearly starved to death in an old house during the hottest part of summer. Her adopted sons treated her like a hot potato. She watched as the two of them shifted blame, hurled accusations, and came to blows, openly admitting that they had never considered her their mother. Worst of all, the son she had raised with her own hands ended her life.

When she opened her eyes again, it was the day her eldest son was getting married. No longer timid as she had been in her previous life, she fought the Lu family’s coldheartedness like a woman possessed, doing everything she could to protect her poor adopted daughter and boldly escape that living hell with her.

After the divorce, the truth came out. Her ex-husband became a public disgrace, while her two ungrateful adopted sons were left abandoned by their wives, living as if they could barely survive.

Lin Ruying earned money selling dumplings from a street stall, bought a house, and put her daughter through college. Just as life was looking up, her daughter’s biological family came knocking.

More unexpectedly, a high-ranking police officer who was usually aloof began shamelessly flirting with her, holding her tight in his arms as his eyes burned with passion. “Little sister Jinyao, when are you finally going to take me to meet your family?”
