[The 1980s]✚ [Reborn in a period setting]✚ [Everyday life]✚ [No golden finger]✚ [Family squabbles]✚ [Wish fulfillment]
Zhang Guilan worked herself to the bone her whole life, raising three sons and two daughters, draining her savings to get them jobs, find them spouses, and care for their children.
In the end, her husband became senile and she got cancer, yet her children passed her around like a ball. When her stomach cancer killed her, no one cared.
When she opened her eyes again, it was 1983. Zhang Guilan smiled.
This time, her husband was still sharp as a tack, and her children hadn’t completely gone astray yet.
In this life, she wouldn’t be a pushover or indulge them.
Her children want to sponge off her? Get out and make your own way!
Want to be dutiful children? Pay up first!
Trying to make empty promises to their mother? After a lifetime of empty promises, she’d spend this life making all kinds of promises to them.
Want to get married? Earn your own bride price!
Want a job? Take the temporary position or leave it!
Want to retake the exams? Let your grades speak for themselves!
Want to get married off? First, you’ll face your mother’s discerning eye!
And that sanctimonious daughter-in-law who egged her son on to steal her coffin money in her previous life?
Zhang Guilan plants her hands on her hips and sneers. “Marry into this family? Dream on.”
They say that these days, all you need is guts to make a fortune. She sets up a street stall, opens a little shop, buys houses, and builds a thriving life.
This heaven-sent fortune? She’ll enjoy it first!
In this life, she finally understands: relying on sons and daughters is no match for relying on yourself. With money in your hands, dutiful children appear everywhere!
Reborn, she kicks out the ungrateful wolves, quietly makes a fortune, and lives more freely than anyone!
