[Era novel + everyday family life + building wealth + face-slapping and putting scoundrels in their place + romance]
In her past life, Zhou Baoshan died of overwork before she even turned fifty. After her death, she didn't get to be buried with her husband. Instead, Shen Ruiqian, who had once been sent down to Dazhou Village, was buried beside her.
From the relatives and friends who came to burn paper offerings for her, she gradually pieced together the truth:
Liu Guangfeng had another family, and after his death he was to be buried with Qin Fenglian.
The son she had carefully raised was Qin Fenglian's child. Her own son had been deliberately raised to be a failure.
The Zhou clan had known the truth for a long time, but under Shen Ruiqian's direction, they had kept it from her so she wouldn't be hurt.
Reborn, Zhou Baoshan said:
"Liu Guangfeng, you deceived me? Just wait and see how I'll make the Liu family weep."
"Shen Ruiqian has secretly loved me all his life? This time, I'm making him say it to my face."
The villagers of Dazhou Village said:
"We've been fed up with the people from Liu Family Village for ages. They act like the folks from Dazhou Village are their in-laws all the time. Turns out the marriage was a scam. What a disgrace."
"Bah... Our grandaunt says she'll marry the most handsome man in the village if she marries anyone at all."
There was indeed a most handsome man in Dazhou Village, but his class background was no good.
Now it wasn't only the people of Liu Family Village losing sleep. The people of Dazhou Village were right there with them.
And Shen Ruiqian, the one she was flirting with, was dousing himself with cold water night after night.
