The Demobilized Factory Director's Delicate Wife

[Period Setting] [Transmigrate into a Book] [Raising Kids] [Marriage First, Love Later] [Cold-Faced Factory Director] [Face-Slapping and Punishing Scum] [Making Money and Getting Rich]

Wen Suyao transmigrates into an 1980s novel. After struggling through the college entrance exams and making it home, her stepmother immediately sells her to a good-for-nothing from the east side of town for two thousand yuan in bride-price money, to pay off a debt.

Debt to repay, a way to survive to find: which of those doesn't take money?

She turns around and takes a job as a maid in the cold-faced factory director's home.

Room and board included, plus one hundred yuan a month!

The neighbors all bet she won't last three days: above her, a fussy mother-in-law constantly nitpicks; below her, three hungry kids need feeding; and in between is a cold-faced tyrant who takes a detour whenever he sees her.

But then everything takes a sudden turn: she gets the three kids completely under control, gives her mother-in-law's every nasty trick as good as she gets, and even lands the factory a huge order worth one hundred thousand yuan.

And what about the man who claimed he was "not interested in her"?

Later, when she merely mentions wanting to leave, the cold-faced tyrant grabs her sleeve with red-rimmed eyes and manages, after a long pause, to say, "Don't go, okay... I'll double your pay."
