[Period Setting] [Space] [Light Ensemble Cast] [Building Wealth] [Golden Finger] [Medicine] [No Couple]
After choking to death on a piece of braised pork, a medical PhD transmigrates into the body of a wicked stepmother. She tears up the biased script, embraces a space with a spirit spring, and leads the whole family to prosperity in the late 1970s. (Shocking! The wicked old woman spoils her stepson rotten.)
Lin Cuihua's best quotes:
- "I can scold my own son all I want. Let an outsider try bullying him and see what happens." (Protective of her own)
- "They're all my precious sons. Not one of them is getting out of this. Every last one of you is going to work!" (The ultimate workaholic at home)
- "A woman needs money of her own if she wants to stand tall." (Advice for her daughter-in-law)
- "Raise girls with plenty. That way, they can choose their men instead of being chosen by them." (Advice for her granddaughter)
- "Fourth son, spend your own earnings. Don't think you can keep leeching off your brothers." (To her biological son)
Running jokes!
Eldest son: His greatest fear is his stepmother saying, "Dalang, it's time for your medicine."
Second son: His greatest fear is his stepmother saying, "With skills like yours, it'd be a waste not to take on construction projects."
Third son: His greatest fear is his stepmother saying, "Your leg's healed, right? Go help your big brother."
The fourth son cries out every day, "Mom! Am I even your real son?" Without looking up, his mother replies, "Of course. If you weren't, I'd have broken your legs long ago."
Classic scenes:
- When the eldest son's wife goes into labor, her mother-in-law rushes into the delivery room. "Everyone, get out!" The midwife says, "The delivery room is an unlucky place!" Lin Cuihua replies, "The only unlucky thing here is your mouth!"
- The second son is drawing blueprints, and Lin Cuihua offers suggestions beside him. He asks, "Mom, did I draw this?" Lin Cuihua replies, "Who else? Me?"
The introduction is quite interesting, Lin Cuihua is also very funny and has a bit of a venomous tongue.
