Wu Xiulan is reborn in 1980, just as her seven children are about to bleed the family dry like leeches.
The eldest wants money to go abroad, the third wants bride-price money, the fourth is in debt from gambling, and the youngest daughter wants new clothes.
Wu Xiulan sneers and slaps her husband, Li Mancang, awake before he can sell his job.
Drawing on her memories of her previous life, she finds gold bars at the salvage yard and snaps up courtyard houses.
At home, she introduces an “equal-share eldercare plan”: anyone who refuses to contribute can get out. With an iron fist, she forces the eldest to sign an agreement handing over his wages, sends the third to a labor camp, and makes the fourth quit gambling by cutting off his finger. Outside the family, she uses big-character posters and public opinion to tear into the cruel in-laws who bully her widowed eldest daughter.
She is no longer a loving mother, but an “Empress Dowager” who holds the purse strings. She watches her children tremble under her authority as she sets about reforming them.
