[Satisfying Read] [Ensemble Cast] [Period Setting] [Rebirth] [Daily Life] [Family Affairs] [Watching the Drama Unfold]
At the age of seventy-six, Wang Meiji was smothered with a pillow in her bed by a nanny her eldest son's wife had hired for four thousand yuan.
Her eldest son put her ashes in a pickled-vegetable crock, then went to the civil affairs bureau to collect a 3,600-yuan cremation subsidy.
Her youngest daughter had been missing for twenty-eight years. When they finally got in touch just before Wang Meiji died, her daughter refused to acknowledge her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the 1980s.
Her family was gathered in the main room, discussing how to sell her seventeen-year-old youngest daughter to a supply-and-marketing cooperative manager in his forties, using the bride price to get wives for her two sons.
In her previous life, she'd tried to stop them. Her husband smashed a stool into her head, leaving her with thirteen stitches.
This time, she planned to grab a cleaver and fight back.
They say a woman taking charge will bring the house down?
Then she'll show them what it looks like when she runs the household.
Her lazy mother-in-law loses money at cards? Take away her card deck.
Her husband likes wearing cadre uniforms to keep up appearances? Make him work in the fields first.
Her eldest son embezzles public funds for personal gain? Confiscate his secret stash.
Someone bullies her daughter? Her mother will be there to back her up.
Her son tricks the family out of money to support his awful girlfriend? He'll get a Soul-Shattering Palm.
She won't let any of the shameless relatives who drained her, chewed her to the bone, and sold off her daughter get away with it.
But after she takes charge and gets her hands on the money...
She doesn't want this family anymore.
She'll take down this bunch of ungrateful wolves, watch them get what's coming to them, and live a comfortable life herself!
