In her previous life, Lin Shufen spent her whole life working like an ox, only for her beloved eldest and second sons to join forces and pull out her oxygen tube on her eighty-eighth birthday!
“Mom, just hurry up and die. Then we can divide up the house!”
When she opened her eyes again, Lin Shufen was back in 1983, just after turning fifty.
Seeing her third son sneaking the family’s emergency savings to buy a gold ring for his “sweetheart,” Lin Shufen didn’t waste a word. She charged over and kicked him right in the gut!
First, she sprinted ten li to stop her husband before he went down into the mine, changing the fate that would have left her a widow after a gas explosion!
Second, she grabbed a sledgehammer and smashed open the wall of her eldest son’s house, exposing his 8,000 yuan in secret savings in front of everyone and sending the ungrateful lot packing!
Third, she picked up the phone and called the crematorium. When her second son’s family tried to force her hand by pretending to drink pesticide, she sneered, “The vehicle’s on its way. We’ll take you while you’re still warm!”
Given a second chance at life, Lin Shufen swore: anyone who made her miserable would have their whole family made miserable!
Facing her parasitic, ungrateful sons:
Her eldest son complains about being broke? She takes back the marital home, cuts ties, and throws him out!
Her second son lives off her? She calculates twenty years of support costs down to the last cent. If he doesn’t pay, she’ll send him to prison!
Her third son is blinded by love? She exposes his gold-digging girlfriend’s true nature and sends him to teach in a remote border region to make amends!
Facing her beloved daughters, who have suffered so much:
Her second daughter is slandered by her in-laws? Lin Shufen storms their home with ironclad proof that her father-in-law had an affair with his daughter-in-law. Her daughter gets divorced and takes half the family fortune!
Her third daughter is bullied by the village tyrant? Lin Shufen joins forces with the villagers to topple the clan’s evil power and sends the whole family to prison!
Her youngest daughter is brainwashed by scammers? Lin Shufen turns the tables and catches them in their own trap, earning not only a reward for solving the case but also recognition as a provincial model for public safety!
