The 1980s Wicked Mother-in-Law: Ungrateful Children, All of You, Get Lost

Zhou Xiulan and her husband worked themselves to the bone to raise seven children. Their kind and filial sixth and seventh children were tragically killed, while the other five all turned out to be ungrateful. She spent her life working for them, only to be abandoned in a remote estate in her old age, with not one of her children by her side when she died. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in 1983, at the scene of a wedding snatching. “Call off the engagement! Give me back every last cent of the bride price!” She tore up the marriage contract and publicly refused to let Huang Meiling marry into the Liu family. Then she grabbed a kitchen knife and raced to the west side of town, rescuing her seventh child, whose clothes had been ripped, from a gang of thugs. She set fire to some straw and scared the thugs out of their wits! Back home, she exposed the Huang family’s many scandals, took on the whole wicked family and the gossipy neighbors, and put her selfish sons and daughters in their place. She broke off the engagement and decided to live for herself and her husband, at home and beyond. Then she began dealing with her five unfilial children: “The eldest dares to stay in touch with the Huang family? I’ll beat you to death!” “The second daughter’s husband won’t learn a trade? Get out and live somewhere else!” “The third child’s family looks down on the Liu family? Pay up for your living expenses!” “The fourth is a traitor? You’ll pay for it!” “The fifth can’t be bothered with anything? You’re disowned!” The five ingrates trembled in fear and learned how to survive on their own. Five years later, the whole county knew how formidable the wicked mother-in-law was. The eldest begged her to accept the virtuous bride from the grain station, and the sixth opened the county’s first agricultural supply supermarket... Meanwhile, the coal boss she had sent to jail was crying and begging her not to expose his son’s scandalous secrets. Zhou Xiulan cracked sunflower seeds and crossed her legs. “What’s the rush? I haven’t even settled the score with you for what you did in my last life!”
