Her biggest daily worry was how to spend her money, and her only regret was that her parents never had time for her. In this life, she was reborn into an ordinary two-income household in the capital. Things were a little more "difficult," but at last she could be with Mom and Dad every day. Unfortunately, on the second day of Lunar New Year, her birthday, a string of firecrackers blasted loose a memory that didn't belong to her. It turned out she was living in a period novel, and her family was the foil to the protagonists' family. The heroine was her mother's twin sister. Back then, her mother had taken over their grandmother's job and become a factory worker, while the heroine had gone to the countryside as an educated youth. Years later, the heroine returned to the capital through the college entrance exams, and while in the countryside, she had met the male lead, a son of a high-ranking family. Later, the male lead quit his job and became a successful entrepreneur. The heroine gave birth to clever, promising twins, a boy and a girl, and the family lived happily together. Meanwhile, as the foil family, her own parents would both be laid off and have to work several odd jobs just to make ends meet. Too busy earning a living to pay any attention to their daughter, they would ultimately drive her to an early relationship and dropping out of school, leaving the whole family in misery. Jiang Qingning, now aware of her family's fate: I'm seeing red! To avoid the tragic fate in the book, Jiang Qingning had no choice but to reclaim her identity as a rich kid. She'd start by setting up a street stall... * Jiang Lifeng and Su Guiying had always been proud to be workers. They never imagined that one day they would be laid off. The honest couple had originally been destined to scrape together a living through odd jobs, working hard for every penny to support their daughter. But under their daughter's influence, they took up the kind of profiteering and speculation they used to look down on. Jiang Qingning had wanted to lie flat, but to change her family's tragic fate in the original book, she set out to remotely steer her parents into starting a business. From running a ring-toss stall to selling soap with a television as a raffle prize, then buying the family a truck and starting a company, laid-off worker Jiang Lifeng transformed into a business tycoon, and Su Guiying became the boss's wife. Jiang Qingning, the one pulling all the strings behind the scenes, happily continued to enjoy her rich-kid life. Blurb for The Whole Family Gets Secure Jobs [Fifties]: Question: What should I do if I joined the Nationalist Army in 1949? This is kind of urgent... Lin Shuyan woke up and found she had transmigrated to 1949. She was the daughter of a high-ranking Nationalist officer, sitting aboard a ship bound for Taiwan... Before she could figure out what to do, someone threw her into the sea. After narrowly escaping death, Lin Shuyan quickly accepted reality, stripped the clothes off a corpse and put them on, slung a shabby bundle over her back, and headed straight for the countryside without looking back. She found her birth mother's cousin and his family, sought refuge with them, and passed herself off as a poor peasant. To repay this family (and keep them quiet), Lin Shuyan did everything she could to get every one of them a secure job. There, now they're all in the same boat: when one prospers, they all prosper, and when one suffers, they all suffer. Let's work hard together for a better life. Theme: Building a prosperous life
