The novel is still being revised. Readers are welcome to point out any bugs.
In her previous life, Li Guilan and her husband had almost nothing. They could barely scrape together the money to educate their children. To support the family, she went south to work, struggling with all her might so their five children could make something of themselves. But she was awkward by nature, knowing only how to send money and nag them to live frugally and study hard. Meanwhile, her in-laws, who stayed in their hometown, used her hard-earned money to bankroll their youngest son’s carefree lifestyle. They gave Li Guilan’s five children only their tuition, while constantly whispering in their ears that their parents were living it up in the city and had abandoned their own flesh and blood to enjoy an easy life.
In the end, her husband worked himself to death on a construction site in his sixties, never enjoying a single day of comfort! All five children became successful, yet they saw her as the enemy who had caused their father’s death. The siblings were selfish and cold toward one another, like a heap of loose sand. In a chilly luxury nursing home, Li Guilan drew her last breath, consumed by loneliness and regret.
When she opened her eyes again, Li Guilan had returned to the early 1980s, just as the wave of people heading south to work was beginning.
Given another life, she would earn money, but she would never do it by selling her labor! She would bring her husband along, seize the opportunities of reform and opening up, and make a fortune. Worried that the distance would weaken family ties? She would bring the children over to go to school so they could all be together. She had learned how to communicate, and would openly show her maternal love and firmly win the hearts of all five children.
As for the bloodsucking in-laws back home who were always causing trouble? Li Guilan would pretend to be a dutiful daughter-in-law, but she wouldn’t give them a penny more than she had to!
In this life, she would earn piles of cash and raise her five children. Most of all, she would make sure her husband, who had worked hard for the family his entire life, stayed healthy and lived to a ripe old age.
🉑Poor family! 🉑Poor five babies! I remembered that I also came to Beijing from my hometown in 1983, and I bumped into each other. I even met a human trafficker when I was buying food——
It's a very good book. Although there are many such genres on the platform, the details are perfect and very delicate. It's rare that I haven't jumped to read a novel recently. I hope the author will always maintain this level 👍👍👍👍
Urgent, please continue updating.
A good piece of period writing, not sloppy and fast-paced. Big cheers for the author
It's really well written. The part about building a dormitory for 500 people reminded me of the crappy house I lived in.
It's really good. I've been reading it for a week and finally found a good book.
Halfway through, the plot is very interesting, but the appearance and transformation of the child in his previous life at the beginning seemed a bit stiff. The heroine was portrayed very realistically, with touching and delicate emotions, so I kept reading!
