The 1970s Courtyard: A Feisty Beauty Takes Down the Worst of the Worst!

[Revenge against scumbags] [Strong female lead] [Ensemble cast and plenty of gossip] [Family drama and all kinds of troublemakers]

Jiang Nianyu transmigrated into a book, becoming a pitiful girl mentioned in passing by the heroine when she returned to her village to visit her family. Her parents, who favored sons over daughters, sold her to a fool for her first marriage, then sold her into the mountains for her second. Her in-laws beat her to death because she couldn’t give birth to a boy.

Well, she’d transmigrated into a book, and it was a lifelong regret, but not for her. It was for all those scumbags. From the start, her parents decided to sell her to a fool so they could find a wife for her leech of an older brother!

Her biased parents declared, “Marry the fool and bring home the bride price to find your brother a wife! Refusing to marry him makes you unfilial!”

Jiang Nianyu answered with a slap and a kick. “The character for ‘filial’ has ‘earth’ on top. I’ll bury you tonight!”

Her freeloader of a brother wailed, “Third Sister, if you don’t marry him, my life is over! Our family line will end!”

She grabbed a pair of scissors and cut away his troubles. “One snip to sever the root of your worries. You’ll have a son and a daughter!”

Rather than wait to be sold, she took matters into her own hands and decisively married into a crowded urban courtyard, becoming the neighbor everyone envied in the original leads’ household.

She gave up trying to help people and embraced a sharp-tongued life.

While the original heroine was exhausted from caring for her stepson, her sister-in-law had already made soup and was calling, “Sister-in-law, drink it while it’s hot!”

When the original heroine was left penniless by her mother-in-law, that woman simply pressed her passbook into her hands. “Dear, spend as much as you like!”

When the original hero complained that his wife wasn’t gentle enough, her man was rubbing her shoulders and back. “Honey, does that feel good?”
