The Crazy Mother and Daughter Strike Back in Their Era

Tang Lin and her daughter Leng Hui had been starving and freezing in the apocalypse. After falling asleep, they woke up in the 1970s. From the start, their lives were hanging by a thread, and they needed emergency surgery. Their grandmother was miserly and obsessed with money, while their father was a blindly dutiful pushover with no mind of his own? No problem. To save her mother, Leng Hui pulled down her grandmother’s pants and snatched her private stash of money to pay for the treatment. If they wouldn’t give her food, she’d pick the lock and make sure her stomach was full. If they wouldn’t give her spending money, Tang Lin told everyone else she was a widow, and told her own family that Leng Hui’s father had died. Her cousin wanted to steal the man she was being set up with. Leng Hui: “If a man can be snatched away that easily, he’s no good. I don’t want him anyway.” The second branch of the family wanted to take everything for themselves. Tang Lin: “You’re eating like pigs. Aren’t you afraid you’ll choke?” The men were rigid, old-fashioned, and stubborn. Tang Lin: “There are countless handsome men in the world, and countless women. Everyone manages just fine without anyone else.” Everyone said that Tang Lin and Leng Hui were a mother and daughter who flouted convention and refused to stay in their proper place. They just scoffed. Now that they’d arrived in this era, what man could compare to building a career? Mountains can crumble, and people can leave. The only truly reliable person to depend on is yourself.
