Raise Someone Else’s Kids? Not a Chance!

In her previous life, Qian Hui lived to be eighty, devoting her whole life to caring for her three sons. Only on her deathbed did she learn that they were all the offspring of her husband and his mistress. It wasn’t that she couldn’t have children. Her husband wanted to take everything she had, so he secretly drugged her day after day, causing her miscarriages and leaving her infertile. He wanted to bring his illegitimate children into the family. By the time she learned the truth, it was too late. Her three sons hated her because their birth mother had never been entered into the family register and could not even be buried beside their father. Death should have been the end, but she awakened a System. Not only was she transformed from an eighty-year-old woman into a vigorous twenty-year-old, she could also earn business points by crushing her old enemies. From selling sweet potatoes to selling rice and grain, she can use her business points to seize every new opportunity. After obtaining the System, Qian Hui looks at the three hungry children clamoring for food and kicks one away. Aren’t they good at playing pitiful to win sympathy? Then she’ll make sure they really have something to cry about! Her husband angrily confronts her, and Qian Hui slaps him and kicks him where it hurts. He’s always called her a hen that can’t lay eggs, hasn’t he? Then she’ll make him a rooster that can’t lay eggs! His mistress shows up shamelessly, and Qian Hui greets her with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. What’s the sense in giving birth if you won’t raise the children? She dumps all three brats back at their mother’s home. Everyone for miles around learns that the woman’s daughter had children out of wedlock! A famine is coming, and the three brats grow gaunt with hunger. They kneel and beg her for even a single grain of rice. Her impotent husband says he wants to live properly with her, while the mistress’s daughter says she no longer wants the children or their father, and only begs Qian Hui for a bite to eat. Qian Hui’s answer: “I’d feed it to a dog before I gave it to you.” But as her business grows and grows, she goes from a small-time trader to the richest person in the country. Now she has a hard time figuring out how to spend all her money.
