   The title is old-fashioned, but it doesn't really matter. The main point is that the female protagonist transmigrates and her mother-in-law is reborn. In her previous life, the mother-in-law was kicked out of her home by her children and was taken in by the female protagonist. In this life, she treats the female protagonist exceptionally well. The two of them secretly save money behind everyone's back. If this is considered a sweet romance novel, then it's the mother-in-law who spoils the female protagonist. As for the male protagonist, he's neither an eyesore nor a leech. It's really hard for the female protagonist not to help the female protagonist.
