“Mom, all you ever do is make trouble. What else are you good for?”
Her daughter-in-law’s words are like a knife, driving Hao Jingshu to leap from the balcony.
As she closes her eyes, a lifetime of grievances floods back: the pain of being bought out of her factory job, the family savings she spent on a home for her son, the bitter conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the oppression of being watched by security cameras, the suffocating cruelty of online abuse…
When she opens her eyes again, she’s back fifteen years in the past, in 2010!
In her hand is the buyout agreement that will decide her fate, and the factory director’s office is right in front of her.
This time, she turns down the agreement, grips a wrench, and flips the whole board of fate over!
This is a weighty work. Its “weight” comes from its unflinching portrayal of life’s hardships and its profound compassion for the people caught in them. It doesn’t settle for simply condemning “wicked mothers-in-law” or “difficult daughters-in-law.” Instead, it delves into the fabric of the times and the depths of human nature, examining how ordinary people, whether mothers-in-law, sons, or daughters-in-law, can struggle and become distorted under the pressures of life.
Ultimately, through Hao Jingshu’s rebirth in the flames, it lights a lamp for women who feel lost between family and society, and for ordinary people who feel adrift amid changing times. The light reminds us that true love begins with cherishing yourself, and true wisdom lies in finding the soil where you can take root and grow.
The world is not black and white, everyone has every advantage. The heroine is really a great person, she has a broad mind. The previous life was really painful, and I burst into tears watching it. The author writes so delicately. The heroine knows how to put herself in someone else's shoes, dares to learn and do, and loves her family very much. She has sacrificed for her family in her previous life, and in this life she lives for herself. At the same time, she still maintains her kindness, influences the growth of people around her, and has the courage to change. She has such a beautiful character, and she should have the life she wants 😢
Although I have only read more than thirty chapters, this book made me feel a lot. The heroine before her rebirth has more or less the shadow of my mother and mother-in-law in it. They are both women who are dedicated to their family but have struggled all their lives. When I get older, I prefer to read this type of novels, and I can better understand the hard work of my mother and others. They are both hard-working and simple women, but they have lived in the wind and rain all their lives because of unreliable husbands! I hope the author can update more and write more exciting content! I also hope that I can gain more self-encouragement energy from the author's works and overcome the current difficulties as soon as possible! Although life is short, why not find sweetness in the bitterness?
I rarely comment on new books. I read them here at the age of fifty and found resonance. As a daughter-in-law who wants to raise a child scientifically, she is faced with the pressure of work and the contrast between relatives and friends. In the early stage, she sympathized with her, but in the later stage, she felt a little resentful. Such a good mother-in-law has lost her home for almost 30 years for her son. The reason for empathy is that I have been a chicken baby for a few years. When my children went to college, I realized that the chicken baby was useless. It was a long process that required long-term persistence. Only if you can persevere can you gain something. If you can't persevere, your child will still be the same child. As a person of the same age who is about to become a grandmother, I also sympathize with my mother-in-law. Everything is for her son. She has given up so much and cannot be understood. She has lost herself in treating her son and daughter-in-law. This is wrong. You must have yourself and boundaries. Don't interfere too much in the family, just provide appropriate help. It's too difficult to do this. In this society, if you don't support your children, it will be difficult for them. If you support them, you won't have a free old life... I can't write anymore. I'm confused myself. I went to cook for a family. There was an old lady at the top and a child who was getting married at the bottom. I also wanted to dance in the square and travel. Just dream: you have to take care of the old man who is confused, and you have to make money for the child who is not married 😳
Strictly speaking, this book has gone beyond the scope of ordinary Internet articles. It can basically be read as a traditional serious novel. The writing is sophisticated and has a cold insight into the darkness of human nature. Personally, I feel that 95% or above is completely affordable. Readers with a certain age and experience can easily find the shadow of part of their own lives.
After reading too many cool articles, I felt aggrieved when I read this work, but it was also very real. The early content made me sigh helplessly more than once. Putting aside rebirth, the life and spirit of middle-aged women should not be ignored, and people should live for themselves.
Oh my god, the writing is so good, the tears of the times, the panic and helplessness of my mother being laid off, and the hardships that individuals go through while trying to work. It is such a warm and heart-strings-pleasing article! After staying up late to read it, I don't know whether I should be grateful that I wrote less, or sad that I wrote too little. It's a painful and sweet follow-up. When I wake up tomorrow, I will buy gifts to support you.
All I can say is that I'm glad I didn't read it carefully, otherwise I wasted my time. Of course, I've already wasted a lot of time. After all, I've already read the third volume. I pity myself 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺
It was a bit suffocating at first, because it is very realistic. Everyone has their own helplessness, ordinary people's financial difficulties, and the older generation can only burn their own candles. Cheap nanny? After the heroine was reborn, she focused on her career and kept enriching herself. Her husband was a kind and conservative person who needed a comfort zone, so in the end he couldn't keep the heroine just like in his previous life, and his heart was broken. However, it can be seen that character flaws and your partner may not lead to a long-term relationship. None of them are too bad, not counting the business villains, but overall there are still many people with conscience. In a larger sense, there is still a group of pure old fitters who work together to technically break the stuck high-precision machinery field. Their perseverance and persistence are admirable!
This is the first time I saw this kind of book on Tomato. It is an innovative way of the times for veteran craftsmen. Hao Jingshu came back with the concepts of the new era, fought for himself, and led everyone to a new path. Old craftsmen originally had a lifelong pursuit of excellence in their craftsmanship and a sense of responsibility as employees of state-owned factories, but the times were developing too fast, their concepts could not keep up, and they could not let go, so they were abandoned. Hao Jingshu's courage and determination to live a new life made her realize not to resist the changes of the times, but to go out and unite to seek development; her confident and true character made her shine in her career, and she received a lot of help. This journey is difficult, and it is not an absolute pleasure. External monopoly, internal encirclement and suppression, everyone has difficulties, even making it impossible for readers to criticize any character. It is this kind of plain description that allows readers to feel the relationship between the characters with their own emotions, whether they are angry, nervous, or excited. "My Eighth Level Fitter Mother" not only describes the halo of the protagonist, but also a plump group portrait. Currently 46.8W words, I look forward to Hongan going higher!
This book is very good, with vivid characters. It feels like the people around you in life. They are ordinary, down-to-earth, and work with the right goals. They are not foolhardy. A person who has died and is not afraid of death serves as the leader and leads a group of people who want to live well to try their best to break through. Barrier, although reborn, does not have a golden finger. It just changes the direction of life according to the heart, abides by conscience and justice, and meets like-minded people along the way to achieve mutual success. The timid ones fall behind, and the roadblocks of capital and ambition are knocked away. What are you afraid of? The result will never be worse than when we started before. In the end, the longer and wider the road is, the better it will be. The rating is now 7.1, Which is too low. Maybe it's because the previous chapters were too depressing. To be honest, I skipped many of the previous chapters without reading them. I really started reading them after rebirth, and then I couldn't stop. The various character portrayals in the work are too real, just like Lao Chen, is he wrong? But there are too many people with such weak characters in life, both men and women. Personally, I think this work should not have a score lower than 9.2. This is the first time I review a book so seriously.
