   🤭🙂 Good news: She died and came back to life, and this time she was transported to the 1990s. Bad news: Her age doubled, and she became a 63-year-old rural old woman, with her status doubling even more—a triple leap: painlessly becoming a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Even worse news: The original owner of this body died of anger because her youngest son insisted on marrying into the family. Having finally dealt with this troublesome son, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she turned around and found a whole bunch of awful descendants behind her. Since she was lucky enough to live another life, she would cherish it. When she encountered unfilial descendants, her big feet weren't to be trifled with. 😎 One kick for selfishness, two for ingrates, and a full-blown dragon-slaying kick for ingratitude. But somehow, as she kicked them, not only did her children become obedient, but she also became rich, and her life became even more enjoyable!
