A Fiery Couple in the 1990S

You've been reborn in the 1990s. Are you still going to put up with everything? The moment Zhai Mengting opened her eyes, she felt the rough cotton bedsheet, patched all over, beneath her. Her sister-in-law's shrill demands for money rang in her ears. In her last life, she put up with it until her stomach cancer reached its final stage, before finally realizing that there was no family love in this home that ate people alive. Given a second life, she grabs a chamber pot and smashes it straight into the face of the woman outside the door. "I worked for you my whole life. When I got sick, you begrudged me two jin of rice and nagged me about it for ten years. Fine, let's figure out how much you owe me in wages for all these years. Pay me what I'm owed!" You've been reborn in the 1990s. Are you still going to let them bleed you dry? Zheng Yanze kicks open the squeaking iron gate and catches his brother, who's faking an illness, stuffing a bankbook into his pocket. In his previous life, he worked himself to death and still couldn't fill this bottomless pit. Now he grabs his brother by the wrist and sneers, "You got seriously ill from working so hard for me, and need money for treatment? Fine, I'll take care of you. But first, let's go talk to the factory committee about the penalty for claiming wages that aren't yours." Everyone in the workers' compound says two lunatics live at opposite ends of the neighborhood. One chases her sister-in-law down the street with an iron ladle, demanding she pay her wages. The other grabs his brother by the collar with a ledger in hand, bangs on the table, and wrecks the union awards ceremony. Until their families can't take it anymore and come up with a revenge plan. They bribe a neighborhood committee auntie to put the two scourges together and force them to marry. "Once you're married, you can get a new apartment. You two are perfect for each other!" Their relatives glare at the two troublemakers, waiting to see what will happen when they turn on each other. On their wedding night, Zhai Mengting beams at the newly assigned apartment. "Let's get this straight: we're just living together. We'll split your money in half." Zheng Yanze is delighted by her reputation for being a spitfire. He hurriedly slaps his bankbook onto the dowry chest. "Deal. But you have to tell my brother, sister-in-law, and parents that you're in charge of the money!" "Oh, and remember to demand another ten thousand yuan in bride price. If they refuse, smash up my parents' and siblings' house." "You'd better make sure to demand a generous dowry, too. If they refuse, call off the wedding and have my father arrested for fraud!" The two foxes count their cash and cackle with satisfaction as moonlight spills into their wedding room, its walls covered in old newspapers. The next day, the workers' compound at the steel factory erupts. Everyone had thought the couple would finally turn their fire on each other, so they could all relax. The newly arrived finance director and his wife squat by the door, going over the books again. One cracks sunflower seeds as she counts: "The Wang family at the east end borrowed eighteen jin of coal briquettes two years ago. They need to pay that back." The other works the abacus, checking the books unhurriedly. "Section Chief Liu in the west courtyard took seven extra ration coupons five years ago." The abacus beads clack like firecrackers. The whole neighborhood is dumbfounded. Anyone who ever crossed them now has to pay up for their old debts? Their families are beside themselves. Why are they causing trouble again? Now that she's been reborn, Zhai Mengting is, of course, going to go wild. She thought she'd have to fight alone, but she didn't expect to meet another lunatic. Just as crazy as she is. This time, they're going wild as a pair. She's so grateful to the relatives who arranged this wonderful match for her. Both families are devastated. They told the pair to torment each other, but instead they thrive together, catching the wave of the 1990s business boom and becoming local tycoons. And now that the two lunatics have teamed up, they're even more terrifying? · This couple is no good. They'll tear through the whole compound in the 1990s! · Premise: Two swords together make an unbeatable pair
