Lin Wenjing opened her eyes and realized she had gone back to being twenty.
She was still the invisible one in her family, but now she had all her limbs, a pretty face, and none of the withered misery of a woman who had endured twenty years of domestic abuse.
In her previous life, she was forced to marry for her younger brother's sake. But because she couldn't give birth to a son, her husband beat her for twenty years. Her husband and his family favored boys over girls, taking the hard-earned money she made and giving it all to his nephew. Meanwhile, the daughters she bore were married off one by one so their bride prices could be handed over to the nephew.
In the end, the nephew grew fat and well-fed, while her eldest daughter nearly died in childbirth after trying to save money by giving birth at home. Her second daughter fell ill, but they refused to take her to the hospital for fear of the expense, and she died from her illness. And then there was her youngest daughter...
As for her birth family, her beloved younger brother completely cut ties with her after she married. At first, he was afraid of offending her husband. Later... he was afraid she'd come back to her family home and mooch off them.
Reborn, Lin Wenjing looked around the familiar family home and curled her lips. People had to be shameless to live better.
From then on, Lin Wenjing never looked back as she became a shameless hooligan, determined to be the toughest troublemaker in the neighborhood.
But she never expected that once she stopped being hardworking and virtuous, everyone she met would be crazier than the last.
Even the hooligans had to get in on the rat race to become the craziest. Otherwise, they couldn't out-crazy anyone.
As for the family,
Her younger brother gets meat while she gets noodles? Fine! Flip the table. Then nobody eats.
