A recent thunderclap sent the residents of the Machinery Factory Family Compound into an uproar: Li Chunfang, the sensible younger daughter of the Li family, turned out to be the child who had been switched at birth with a girl from a rural family!
Everyone in the compound knew that the Li family's eldest son and daughter-in-law were both shrewd schemers.
Two years ago, Li Chunfang got into the best high school in the county.
Her family could easily afford to put her through high school, but her brother and sister-in-law flat-out refused to let her continue her studies.
Recently, the elder Li couple had wanted to secretly buy Li Chunfang a job.
When their eldest son found out, he had his wife call her family over to block the door, crying and making a scene until they ruined the whole thing...
People whispered among themselves: That girl the Li family had switched back had grown up in the countryside and had never seen the world. Who knew how badly they'd push her around?
After Jiang Qiulan was reborn into a period novel as a supporting character with the same name, she quickly used a "coincidence" to tell her birth parents that the babies had been switched.
It wasn't because she was greedy for wealth or desperate to live in the county seat.
She had read the book and knew how the story would unfold.
The Jiangs lived a hard life in the countryside, but Jiang's father was fair and decisive, while Jiang's mother was bold and an excellent homemaker. The Jiang children were all close.
The Lis, on the other hand, were fairly well-off, but both parents were weak-willed and timid around their eldest son.
Whenever something happened, they would only tell Li Chunfang to put up with it, saying that once her biological brother made something of himself, she could benefit from his success and find a good future for herself...
But Jiang Qiulan knew that Li Chunfang would never find a good future, not even by the time she died.
Her brother and sister-in-law schemed against her, marrying her off to a second-time husband who liked abusing his wives. In the end, beaten and desperate, she jumped from a building...
By Jiang Qiulan's reckoning, it wouldn't be long before Li Chunfang was framed and forced into marriage. She had to get her back to her birth parents as soon as possible.
As for the Li family's den of vipers...
Jiang Qiulan, known by her coworkers as the "Living Yama," narrowed her eyes with a cold smile. Since I'm already here, it's anyone's guess who'll be setting things straight around here!
