[1970s + Rebirth + Courtyard Compound + Elderly Woman + Ensemble Cast + Watching the Drama + All-Out Brawling + Drama Queen]
In 1975, at the Happiness Lane courtyard compound in Tianjin.
Lin Suqin opened her eyes to find herself reborn at her old man's funeral. It was a full ten years before her two ungrateful sons would wring every last bit of value out of her and her daughter, then leave them to freeze and starve to death!
In her last life, she'd been a weak, useless coward. Given another life, she was going to put on a show! Take down the trash! Enjoy the drama! Watch the chaos unfold!
When her two sons tried to snatch her job openings, she put on a ghostly act and scared the ingrates into begging for mercy on their knees.
When a horrible neighbor tried to sow discord, she dragged a little stool to the doorway and, crunching sunflower seeds as she called them out, turned the neighborhood's everyday gossip into a full-blown spectacle.
The courtyard was in constant chaos: Pan Yuegui tried to steal her in-laws' betrothal gifts, Niu Cui'e threw tantrums and cursed at people in the street, and Sun Weijun spied on a widow while she bathed...
Lin Suqin took down trash with her left hand and watched the show with her right, occasionally adding fuel to the “juicy drama” put on by the neighborhood's worst offenders.
From then on, Happiness Lane's courtyard compound had a drama-queen granny: merciless when taking down scumbags, and never too full to enjoy the gossip.
Hahahaha, another compound of monsters, demons and snake gods, all the Dharma Gods from the heavens have to suffer when they land.
