The 1980s' Worst Old Lady: The Whole Family Begs Her Not to Split Up the Household

A story with a small ensemble cast, no romance, no golden finger, family life and making a fortune.

Other people transmigrate and become powerful heroines. Su Li transmigrates and loses twenty years of her life.

A beautiful, fair-skinned woman who earned millions a year in the modern world, she blinks and becomes a fifty-year-old woman who can barely climb into bed.

The original old woman was a terrible sort: she played favorites, pinched every penny, was unreasonable, and had a talent for causing trouble.

Su Li worries for a day and a night. She managed a company with over a thousand employees. Surely she can handle a family of a dozen!

In Su Li’s eyes, there are no useless people. It all depends on how you put them to work.

For the eldest, who craves affection but is honest, she serves up a bowl of hot noodles on a cold night when he comes home, along with the words: “You’re your mother’s first child.”

For the second, who’s greedy and lazy, she says, “Your stomach hurts, so you can’t eat anything greasy. I’ll make you cornmeal porridge, and we’ll just have a few big bones.”

For the fifth, who’s all talk and never gets anything done, she says, “Give your earnings to your mother, and I’ll save them for you. Then I’ll live with you, and the money will be yours anyway.”

She brings out all thirty-six stratagems. If she doesn’t leave them penniless, it’s only because “Demon Su” is kindhearted.

After all that, they finally settle down, and Su Li decides to split up the household and enjoy a quiet life of her own.

But every one of them kneels and begs her not to split up the family.

Su Li: You can’t play it like this! We agreed we’d split up the household!
