The Old Woman Everyone Used as a Cash Cow Is Reborn: She Splits from the Family and Gets Rich!

[Period, The 1980s, a lightly ensemble cast, Reborn, satisfying wish fulfillment]

Seventy-year-old Zhao Xiuying is reborn thirty years in the past, on the day her husband died in an accident.

In her previous life, the whole family depended on her and her husband to make ends meet. They worked several jobs a day, driving themselves into the ground to support his younger brothers and sisters through school, buy them homes, pay for their weddings, and save up betrothal gifts and dowries. They even raised their nephews and nieces at their own expense, all because her mother-in-law said, “The eldest son is a father, and the eldest daughter-in-law is a mother.”

After that, they continued to support their own children, helping them start families, build careers, and make something of themselves.

But when her husband died unexpectedly and she was no longer able to work, her children and her husband's younger siblings joined forces and sold her off to an old bachelor. They split the money from the demolition of her house and the compensation she received for an occupational illness. Suffering from pneumoconiosis and penniless, Zhao Xiuying was passed around like a ball and left to fend for herself. She could only survive by scavenging recyclables. In the end, she saw her family for who they really were and chose to end her miserable life.

Given another chance, Zhao Xiuying cuts ties with every relative. She'll kick those ungrateful wolves out, build a prosperous life with her husband, and enjoy her later years in comfort.
