[Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law + Reborn + Giving Up + Face-Slapping + Family Life + Pocket Dimension]
From childhood, Lin Yufang’s family drilled into her that she had to work hard and endure hardship.
A woman was meant to be a good wife and loving mother.
If she was too lazy, she would never find a husband.
When she grew up, her husband’s family told her that as a wife, she should support her husband and care for her children.
She had to take on more than her share of the dirty, exhausting work at home, while the men and children got first pick of the good food.
That was what made a good wife who brought her husband success and her children good fortune.
Lin Yufang believed every word.
After marrying into the Zhou family, she took on all the dirty, tiring work in the household and never let her husband or relatives lift a finger.
Zhou Guohua had no job, and the whole family fell into poverty.
To support her husband, she went to plead with the brigade leader again and again, finally finding him a job of sorts in the neighboring village.
Her two children had no good food and grew thin and sallow from hunger.
To make sure they had enough to eat, she worked in the fields year after year to earn work points, laboring until dark and often ending up with an aching back and sore waist...
The result:
Five years later, she worked herself to death.
And that wasn’t all...
Just before she died, her husband betrayed her, bringing back his first love and their child and demanding a divorce.
Her husband’s family thought she was bad luck, barred her from their home, and abandoned her in the cowshed.
Even her parents were cold, saying that a married daughter was like water poured out, and that only their precious son Ya Zu was dear to them.
No one cared for her. She received no treatment at all.
In the end, Lin Yufang died in that bitterly cold winter.
She was resentful. She was full of hate.
Her bitterness filled the sky.
Reborn into a new life,
she would never be that good wife again...
