The Wicked Mother-in-Law of the 1980s: I Lose My Mind to Keep the Family in Line

Qian Laotai was famous in the village as a spineless pushover. Her daughter-in-law walked all over her, her sons treated her like an ATM, and even her grandson dared spit at her. In the end, she was forced to sell the family home to pay off her youngest son's gambling debts, then starved to death herself. After being reborn, she returned to the moment her daughter-in-law had pointed at her and called her an old hag. Qian Laotai stopped crying and making a scene. She smiled. Picking up the cleaver on the ground, she pressed it against her daughter-in-law's neck. “Say that again?” The whole family thought she'd gone crazy. That's right, she had gone crazy! Her eldest son wanted money? She chased him all the way down the road, sloshing a bucket of manure over him! Her second daughter-in-law was slacking off? She put a bowl right over her head! Her youngest son was gambling? She broke his leg and dragged him to the police station! Just when everyone thought the family was falling apart, Qian Laotai used her “madness” to cure them all of their “jerk syndrome.” With an iron fist, she took back control of the household and led the whole family to open workshops and factories, becoming a renowned businesswoman far and wide.
