Reborn in the 1970s: I Dumped the Whole Scumbag Family

In her previous life, Chen Xiulan was famous for being soft-hearted. After marrying Wang Tao, who had a ten-year-old son, she worked from dawn to dusk to earn work points, scrimped and saved to raise her stepson, Wang Hao, and gave every bit of the family's savings to the father and son. In the end, her husband, who had been secretly involved with their neighbor Bai Gulan for years, joined forces with his longtime lover to make her drink arsenic. She died miserably on a cold kang, her life's savings stolen, reduced to a mere stepping stone for others.

Reborn at twenty-five, before any of the tragedies could happen, she refused to be the fool of a stepmother who revolved around everyone else. She chose to divorce, bundled up the scumbag and his ungrateful family, and sent them packing. Then she relied on her skills and forward-thinking to open a mending stall and make specialty pastries in a small village in the 1970s, gradually building a thriving life for herself. Meanwhile, without her managing the household, the Wang family descended into chaos. After the father and son brought their beloved Bai Gulan into the house, their days became a complete mess, and they could no longer leech a thing from Chen Xiulan. Once her business was flourishing, she ran into Lu Chen, a good friend from long ago. Reunited after years apart, they grew fond of each other and began a new life.
