The Villainess's Mother Wins by Doing Nothing [The 1970S]

[Upcoming novel: My Husband Came from the Apocalypse [The 1970s]] Lin Shu is a freelancer with poor health but a workaholic streak. Still young, she's already wealthy. After stepping in to help someone, she transmigrates into a novel set in a bygone era. The original owner was beautiful and had two adorable children. Her husband was away from home, but his high salary kept her comfortable. Yet somehow she ended up living like a doormat, and after her husband died in the line of duty, she stifled herself to death, too. Lin Shu: Good health, adorable kids who love me, money to eat meat, and no man to bother me. Where else can you find a life this good? Although the kids are major villains in the original novel, the story hasn't even started yet, has it? As long as I don't die, I've won! She decides to lie flat and cause no trouble, spending every day taking the kids out, enjoying the gossip, and watching the drama. The troublemakers are all waiting to laugh at the little widow. Her husband was supposedly cursed to death by her, and her fierce mother-in-law is bound to make her life miserable. Just wait, that widow's in for it! Lin Shu: Mom, they're picking on me! Her fierce mother-in-law grabs a stick and gives the troublemakers a good beating, then rushes off to buy an old hen to build up her daughter-in-law's strength. The troublemakers: ??? Hmph, you can protect the little widow all you want, but she's young and won't stay single for long. She'll remarry some old geezer tomorrow! The next day, the little widow's supposedly dead husband comes back in a big Jeep, dressed in a crisp military uniform and promoted at a young age. The troublemakers: She gets all the good luck! * Lu Shaotang was a notorious troublemaker as a boy. Once he was sent to the army, he thrived and repeatedly distinguished himself in battle. Many high-ranking officers in the compound wanted him as a son-in-law, but he had no interest in marriage. Later, his mother ordered him home to get married. He didn't return until his wedding day, and discovered his wife didn't like him. So, after just three days of marriage, he left to rejoin his unit. Five years later, he returned to his hometown after narrowly escaping death. Since his wife didn't like him, he figured he'd give her some money and set her free. He'd take the children. Passing a restaurant, he suddenly saw his beautiful, alluring wife with a young official... on a blind date? The young man: Comrade Lin Shu, I've admired you for a long time. Please marry me and join me in the revolutionary... Lin Shu: Don't joke around! Even though my husband is away, I'll love him for the rest of my life and wait for him forever. Lu Shaotang strode toward her, but she... ignored him and walked away? Lin Shu: Oh my god, did I just see Lu Shaotang's ghost? He's so intimidating and cold! He shouldn't recognize me... Can't see me, can't see me. I'm getting out of here. The young, accomplished, handsome, and aloof army officer discovers that, now that he has a son and daughter, he has to win his wife all over again! * The old acquaintances from the capital's residential compound all felt sorry for Lu Shaotang. How could such an outstanding officer marry a country woman? Later, Lu Shaotang brought his wife and children to the capital compound, and his old acquaintances were amazed. Could a country wife really be this stunning? Reader notes: 1. The original female lead is not villainized. 2. There are awful characters, and watching them get torn down is satisfying. 3. The female lead works with her whole family to build a better life. Upcoming novel: My Husband Came from the Apocalypse [The 1970s] (I spent two months preparing, then realized this one inspired me more. The ancient-times transmigration story needs more research, so I'll put it off for now.) Tang Yuan is a poverty-alleviation officer who works diligently until she falls ill. She wakes up transmigrated into a novel set in a bygone era. The original owner was despised by her grandparents, who favored boys over girls, used as a stepping stone by her adored cousin, and forced to switch fiances with her male cousin. After marriage, she was abused by her husband and met a tragic end. Tang Yuan: ???!!! She immediately goes wild, beats the troublemakers to a pulp, and splits the household! After splitting off, Tang Yuan eats meat every day and enjoys a happy life with loving parents. A transmigration can't make us forget our poverty-alleviation mission. Tang Yuan sets her sights on the future big shot living at the end of the village: a cold-faced man who avoids women and loves farming! * Feng Chen is a legend in the apocalypse. He survives through sheer strength until he's the last person alive, then dies of hunger. He wakes up as a layabout in the 1970s. With towering mountains and fertile land all around him, he makes a decision: he'll farm! The cruelty of the apocalypse taught him to keep outsiders at a distance, refuse to help others, and never share his food. He earns himself the nickname "stingy miser" until he meets Tang Yuan. Later, when he hears Tang Yuan is looking for a live-in husband, the big shot promptly shows up at her door. * After marriage: The big shot farms in the mountains by day and puts in work in bed by night. He's way too energetic! Tang Yuan rubs her sore back and regrets everything: I thought the big shot avoided women and loved farming? #I gave too much for poverty alleviation# #Go wild all the way and enjoy every minute# #Honey, get farming!# #Stories about my cold-faced, stingy farmer husband# [2024/4/30] Completed novels: The Fierce Wife of the 1970s The Spicy Mom of the 1970s The Bold Female Intellectual Youth of the 1970s A Happy Family in the 1960s Transmigrating into the Male Lead's Sister-in-Law in the 1970s The Wealthy Beauty Who Brings Good Fortune in the 1970s And many more.
