[Period setting + putting scumbags in their place + getting rich + no romance + not a self-sacrificing heroine]
Lin Guixiang has been reborn.
She’s back in 1991, at the turning point when her children treated her like a “free nanny” and squeezed every last bit of value out of her.
In her previous life, she swallowed her grievances until she died of illness in a storage room, forgotten by everyone.
This time, she dusts herself off. “I’m done being your nanny!”
Her grandson is throwing a tantrum? Not my problem. I’m off to dance in the square!
Her daughter-in-law is picking a fight? I’ll report you and send you back to your parents’ home to eat dirt!
Her son wants money? I’ll legally sever ties with you. You won’t touch a single cent!
The neighbors all say Lin Guixiang has gone crazy. Why give up a comfortable life to run a street stall?
But then...
She sells chili sauce from her stall and becomes a provincial role model for getting rich.
She buys land and builds high-rises, becoming a real estate queen of the 1990s.
While her ungrateful children are still fighting over a few yuan in electricity bills,
Lin Guixiang has already made the cover of a wealth magazine:
“At 60, my golden age is only just beginning!”
