[Farming] [Sign-In System] [Rural Life] [Family Squabbles] [An Old Woman Who Won't Be Pushed Around]
Old Madam Li's husband died young, leaving her to raise four sons and a daughter through years of hardship.
She thought life would get easier once the children were grown, but a sudden chill laid her low.
Her eldest son and his wife claimed they would take her to town for treatment. After tricking her out of her property deeds, they locked her in a room and left her to die.
Her third son was a shopkeeper in town, so Old Madam Li never had to worry about him. But as she lay dying, she thought she saw him standing behind her eldest son.
Her fourth child, a daughter, fell for a poor scholar who had recently moved to the village. Old Madam Li disapproved of their marriage and kept her daughter at home for several years, but still couldn't keep her from leaving.
Her youngest son had been born when she was already older. Though she didn't love him as much as her eldest, she still doted on him and sent him to a private school at an early age.
Only her second son, caught in the middle, was quiet and dull-witted, and never won her favor. Yet compared to the others, he was the most obedient and filial.
Old Madam Li spent more than a decade raising her large family, only to meet a miserable end.
Fortunately, Heaven gave her a second chance. When she opened her eyes again, Li Mingyu had returned to seven days before her eldest son tricked her into leaving the village in her previous life. She had also gained a Sign-In System, and her very first sign-in rewarded her with five jin of rice!
Reborn, Old Madam Li no longer showed favoritism toward her eldest son. She immediately sent him away and cut ties with him.
Words were tiring, so Li Mingyu opened with a beating at frame zero.
