Mother-in-Law Throws a Fit? My Husband Pulls Out a Caliper to Calculate Compensation

In the autumn of 1982, a country girl arrives at the Hongxing Machinery Factory compound as a substitute bride.

As soon as she steps inside, her vicious mother-in-law teams up with her younger brother-in-law to force her to give up the newlywed room. All around her, the city women jeer and sneer.

Everyone expects Lin Qingwu to meekly put up with it like a quail. But she was a top psychologist in her previous life. She gives a cold smile and quietly activates the [Emotion Collection System].

She can read minds, empathize, and pinpoint people's obsessions. Without uttering a single curse, a few gentle words are enough to make her brother-in-law blurt out his gambling debts in front of everyone. She even redeems ten jin of meat coupons and a rare bicycle coupon!

She tears apart the compound's unwritten rules, saves the factory director's daughter from domestic abuse, and teams up with the other women in the compound to make a fortune from scrap fabric.

When a transmigrated woman who has taken over the plot tries to steal her fortune, she discovers the women in the compound are already armed to the teeth thanks to Lin Qingwu.

Her cold, aloof engineer husband even brings her all his bankbooks, his eyes red-rimmed. “Honey, it's cold outside. If anyone messes with you, I'll beat them with my calipers!”
