The Sweet, Adorable Little Brats of a Tough Mom in the 1960S

Ladies, please check out my upcoming novel: The Substitute Bride of the 1950s Courtyard Compound Blurb One: Lin Yue transmigrated into a book. From the start, her parents were dead, her elder brother was far away with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and she'd been tricked by her uncle's family into becoming the young bride sent to a courtyard compound as a substitute. Her reborn cousin had no interest in the noisy, chaotic courtyard compound. All she wanted was to marry up and become a wealthy man's wife. Her uncle gritted his teeth and gave Lin Yue a generous dowry, making his niece marry in place of his daughter. In the 1950s, food and clothes were scarce, but Lin Yue was delighted by this unexpected marriage into the courtyard compound. Her father-in-law was a Grade Five fitter earning sixty-five yuan a month. Her mother-in-law was an outstanding worker at a state-run pig farm, her sister-in-law was a department head at the supply and marketing cooperative, and her husband was away serving in the military. The whole family treated their daughter-in-law like their own daughter. Lin Yue also had a space supermarket, so she ate braised pork and stewed bone soup every day, living the good life. When her husband returned home after leaving the military, Lin Yue gazed at the handsome soldier before her, with his sharp brows, bright eyes, and icy good looks... Lin Yue, a devoted admirer of handsome men: Sure, I'm in! I'm definitely in! Blurb Two: Lin Hongna was reborn. In her previous life, she married into a courtyard compound and spent her whole life envying her cousin. Her timid cousin had a pretty face, which helped her marry into a good family. After the reforms, her husband went into business and became a wealthy merchant, and her otherwise unremarkable cousin lived a comfortable life. Lin Hongna, meanwhile, married Gu Shian, a soldier from the courtyard compound. Unable to bear the loneliness, she took a lover and was thrown out of the house, spending the rest of her life steeped in misery. Reborn, Lin Hongna seized the advantage. She cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself until she finally persuaded her family to send her cousin to the courtyard compound in her place. She, meanwhile, got her wish and started dating the man who had been her cousin's partner in her previous life. As she dreamed of becoming a wealthy man's wife and looked forward to laughing at her cousin, she witnessed her cousin leisurely sunning herself in the courtyard compound, while Gu Shian, now an engineer, gazed at her tenderly and squatted in the yard to wash a whole courtyard's worth of floral dresses. Meanwhile, her own boyfriend dumped her. Furious Lin Hongna: ?!! The actual blurb: Su Mian is a little flower spirit, and she transmigrated into a book. She became a little girl in a period novel, with a shrewish mother and a father serving in the military. Her family was so poor they could only eat steamed corn buns, but little Mianmian wasn't afraid. The mother she had now was a fake. Her real mother was a beautiful strongwoman with a portable space full of meat and candy. Her father in the military would become a decorated war hero with great power, and her two older brothers would grow up to be amazing, too. She had nothing to fear. Sure enough, after Mianmian's fourth birthday, a bunch of troublemakers came to their door. Su's mother smashed the boulder by the entrance with one hand and beat the bullies until they wailed like babies, tossing them around like sandbags. The troublemakers fled with their heads in their hands: "Run! That shrew from the Su family is not someone you can mess with!" Just then, Su's father returned from leave: ??? Theme: Happiness and joy.
