I Became the Eccentric Mother-in-Law in a Seaside Compound [The 1970S]

Pre-registration: Eighties: I Became a Fake Tycoon Returned from Abroad - Blurb - Song Lanmei transmigrates into a period novel as a vile, wicked mother-in-law. In the original story, the woman she replaces is extremely biased toward boys. When her daughter-in-law, Gu Xue, gives birth to twin girls as her first children, she grows displeased with her. But Gu Xue gives birth to another girl with her second pregnancy, and the difficult delivery leaves her unable to have any more children. From then on, the original woman goes mad, forcing her son to divorce Gu Xue. Soon, everyone in the military compound on the island knows her reputation as a wicked mother-in-law. Her son, once a promising young man, is eventually driven to leave the military early because of her, and becomes an ordinary nobody. But the fates of the male and female leads are the complete opposite of those of the cannon-fodder family. The female lead is the most envied daughter-in-law in the compound. Her first pregnancy goes exactly as she wishes, giving her twin boys, and her second pregnancy goes smoothly too, producing another boy. After giving birth to three sons, the female lead's mother-in-law obeys her every word, and the male lead treats her with loving devotion. When the male lead rises steadily through the ranks, people praise the female lead as a woman born to bring her husband good fortune. When Song Lanmei transmigrates into the story, she can't help but grin. What's wrong with sweet, adorable little granddaughters? She likes little girls best! When word gets around that Gu Xue can no longer have children, the whole compound buzzes with gossip: “I heard Gu Xue's mother-in-law is coming to help her through her postpartum recovery. Once she finds out Gu Xue can't have any more kids, she'll surely make a huge scene!” Holding her month-old son, the female lead smiles. “Even if her mother-in-law makes a scene, it won't change anything. Whether you have a boy or a girl is fate. Gu Xue just isn't destined to have sons. You can't force it.” After Song Lanmei arrives on the island, the gossips in the compound keep their eyes fixed on the Song family, waiting to see when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will clash. Instead, the delicious aromas wafting out of the Song home every day make the whole compound drool. The postpartum meals Song Lanmei makes for Gu Xue are so lavish that an old woman in the compound slaps her thigh in astonishment. “Good heavens! I've never seen a young wife have such a comfortable postpartum recovery!” * Before Song Lanmei arrives at the compound, the sisters Song Yi and Song Yue are constantly on edge, afraid their grandma will kick them and their mother out of the house. But after Song Lanmei arrives, the sisters discover that this grandma is nothing like they imagined. Spicy, savory grilled seafood, tangy and tender poached fish, smooth and fragrant taro milk tea... Song Lanmei's cooking makes all the children in the compound drool! The female lead's precious twin boys are terribly jealous of the sisters. “They're just two useless girls. Why do they get to live better than us and eat such good food all the time?” The female lead's mother-in-law agrees. “Exactly! You shouldn't spoil girls like that. They'll grow up spoiled for sure!” The female lead's family waits to see the Song family's embarrassment, but what arrives instead is the news that Gu Xue has been accepted to a top university. When the sisters grow up, one becomes a rare female pilot, and the other a diplomat skilled in strategy and negotiation. Even the youngest sister becomes a celebrated athlete known throughout the country, leading her national team to three consecutive Women's World Cup titles. Meanwhile, the female lead's three beloved sons amount to nothing, becoming lazy street loafers who spend their days idling around. Later, a reporter from the national TV station visits the Song family to ask about their secret to raising children. Gu Xue answers sincerely, “First, you need a good mother-in-law.” The three sisters speak in unison. “First, you need a good grandma.” The whole internet is instantly curious about Song Lanmei. When people learn that Song Lanmei is one of the top investors in China and around the world, and that she founded the country's largest private scholarship fund for girls, they suddenly understand how she raised such an outstanding daughter-in-law and granddaughters. From then on, the whole internet calls Song Lanmei “the greatest grandma”! ·The blurb and story premise have been screenshotted: April 23, 2022.
