In the 1970S, I Refused to Be the Big Sister Forever

Preorder: The Ultimate Mother-in-Law Handbook, launching April 5 Blurb: Liu Li lost both her parents, but through sheer determination she amassed a fortune in the business world. Then she discovered that the brother she trusted most had betrayed her and was conspiring with her rival to stage a takeover. What belongs to me is mine to give or withhold. I decide. Liu Li swiftly crushed the betrayal, but just as she was about to reap the rewards, her plane crashed, and for some inexplicable reason she was transported to the 1970s, straight into the 1970s of a melodramatic novel. Not enough food or clothes? Scarce supplies? Cold-hearted people? None of that could compare to the shock of finding four younger siblings who were all clamoring to be fed. You say I should be a doting sister who lives by the motto "an elder sister is a mother," sacrificing everything for my younger siblings? Liu Li gave a cold laugh. "I haven't been anyone's big sister in years. If you want me to raise them, you'd better hope they behave." Want to tell me how to raise my siblings? Ha. If you know better, you do it.

Until the day she died, she couldn't understand it. After her husband passed away, she built houses for both her sons, found them wives, helped raise her grandchildren, and rushed to do every chore at home and out. How had she become the ultimate nightmare of a mother-in-law? Her daughters-in-law didn't see how hard she worked. Her own sons criticized her, and the grandchildren she'd raised pushed her out the door. Xia Juhua couldn't help but take the pills. Why did the medicine taste so sweet? Xia Juhua thought Heaven was giving her one last bit of sweetness before she died. Then she realized she had returned to the time when her second son had just married. It seemed her reputation as a terrible mother-in-law had started after that marriage. So should she live up to the name and become a truly awful mother-in-law? You don't want me to go out and earn work points? Fine. They say I rush out to work because I want people to praise me for being capable. This time, I won't rush. Isn't it better to lie on the kang and crack sunflower seeds? You want to come home to a meal already on the table? No. They say I rush to cook so I can sneak a bite. This time, I won't rush. Isn't it more comfortable to sit at the table and wait for someone to hand me my chopsticks? You want me to help look after the children? No. They say I insist on doing it so the children won't be close to their own mother. Isn't it more carefree to visit the neighbors and catch up on the gossip? Eldest daughter-in-law: "My mother-in-law can be a little fierce, but she's rich. She's a good mother-in-law." Younger daughter-in-law: "My mother-in-law can be a little fierce, but she's rich. She's a good mother-in-law." What the daughters-in-law really think: "I'll cry and make a scene. My mother-in-law has money, and I don't dare pick a fight if she won't give me any." Theme: No matter how harsh the circumstances, they cannot stop a heart from striving upward.
