Gossip in the ’70s: My Mother-in-Law Became the Crocodile in the Melon Patch

Shen Suihe's scumbag father is forcing her to marry, and she has four choices: a eunuch on his third marriage, a wife-beater on his second, a perverted old widower, or a military officer in a coma who can't wake up.

Shen Suihe decisively packs her things and marries into the Lu family!

Why be a stepmother and clean up someone else's mess? Isn't it better to be a military wife with money and free time, and no husband to keep tabs on her?

After the wedding, everyone waits to watch her get tormented by her fierce, wicked mother-in-law. But little do they know that Shen Suihe has activated the “Gossip and Red Packet Group System.”

[Ding! The village head is sneaking into the pigsty again at midnight to give the sow a midnight snack!]

[Ding! The cold, aloof male educated youth is actually a tomb raider, digging a tunnel in the backyard!]

Shen Suihe turns around and adds her gossip-loving mother-in-law to the gossip group. From then on, her wicked mother-in-law becomes a gossip-obsessed busybody, treating her like royalty. The two of them sit on little stools every day at the village entrance to watch the drama unfold.

Just as life couldn't get any more carefree, a group of military officers suddenly rushes into the courtyard, their eyes red as they call out to Shen Suihe, “Young lady, the commander has finally found you!”

More alarming still, the husband who had been lying in a coma for six months suddenly sits up behind her, grabs her by the waist, and grits his teeth, eyes red. “Wife, what did you just say… that being widowed is the best?”

Shen Suihe: “??? Did the gossip just end up being about me?”
