After My Mom Awakened in the 1980s

Lin Zheng was known throughout Shihe Village as a hardworking woman. Her husband was the village's most skilled carpenter, and their daughter was the prettiest little girl the village had seen in a hundred years.

They had a happy, loving family, but one rumor shattered it all.

Believing the rumor, her husband decided that their daughter was the child of Lin Zheng and another man. Her in-laws called her a seductress, her own family called her shameless, and everyone in the family tried to send her child away. In the end, her daughter was abused by her adoptive parents and died full of resentment.

When Lin Zheng heard the news, she was devastated. She spent countless nights soaking her pillow with tears, and the rest of her life was consumed by grief and regret.

Fortunately, Heaven took pity on her and let her be reborn in the year before her daughter was sent away.

Looking at her little girl in clothes patched all over, Lin Zheng wept uncontrollably.

"This time, Mom will never send you away! We'll never be apart again!"

Fang Zhiguo, who had just found a couple willing to adopt her: "The child's new parents are both here. When are we sending her off?"

Looking at the husband who claimed to love her forever but didn't trust her, Lin Zheng laughed bitterly.

"Send her away? Aren't you the one who should leave?"

Lin Zheng decided to take advantage of the winds of reform and opening up, save up some money, and move to the city with her daughter. Before leaving, she would divorce her husband and find a way to squeeze some child support out of Fang Zhiguo.

Not long after escaping the village that had been eating her alive, her former in-laws came knocking, demanding that Lin Zheng help them get rich, for the sake of the child.

Lin Zheng laughed in disbelief, then turned around and found her daughter a tall, handsome, never-married, sweet-natured stepdad.

Fang Zhiguo was furious: "Even if you remarry, the child will always see me as her only dad!"

Lin Zheng laughed scornfully, pointed at Fang Zhiguo, and asked her daughter, "Who is he?"

The little girl chirped, "Uncle!"

Then Lin Zheng pointed at her stepdad. "And him?"

The little girl flung herself into the man's arms and cried happily, "Daddy!"

Watching the happy family of three, Fang Zhiguo was left speechless: "???"
