Back in the 1980S as a Grandma, I Become a Stepmom and Put Ungrateful Brats in Their Place

[Period Setting + Stepmother + Feel-Good Story + Building a Career + Raising Kids + Marriage First, Love Later] In her previous life, Su Lan was known far and wide as a “virtuous stepmother.” For the three children her husband left behind, she spent all her dowry, gave up her job, and worked from dawn to dusk to put them through school and help them marry. And what did she get in return? The eldest became a parasite who drained her of her last penny. Her second child, a daughter, was a devoted brother-supporter who stole her savings to give to her own family. The youngest was a man-child who, once she grew old, drove her out of the house to freeze to death in winter. When Su Lan opens her eyes, she’s reborn in 1982, the day after she agreed to marry the children’s father! Looking at the honest face of the man and the timid expressions of the three future ingrates, Su Lan smiles. “Marriage is fine, but we’re signing an agreement first!” She’ll have her premarital assets notarized and keep a firm grip on her dowry. No one is touching her money! The children’s father says, “Lan, the eldest needs money for school...” Su Lan replies, “He can get a part-time job. Your salary can’t support idlers!” Her stepdaughter says, “Stepmom, all my classmates have pretty dresses...” Su Lan replies, “Earn the money yourself. I have a sewing machine right here, and I’ll give you a fifty-cent commission for every dress you make.” Reborn for a new life, Su Lan is done being a devoted wife and mother! She’s going to do business, buy houses, and stock up on government bonds, living a life everyone envies! As their stepmother gets richer and richer and her life flourishes, the three stepchildren can’t sit still. They cry and beg, “Mom, we were wrong. Please love us again!”
