A Seventies-Era Grandma Joins the Army: Raising Kids on an Island and Running the Household

In her previous life, Cai’s life was more bitter than the bitterest herb. Her first husband died young, and while she was pregnant, her in-laws nearly forced her to marry an elderly bachelor from the same clan. Her second marriage was nothing but endless labor. Even in old age, she had to care for the nasty old man who was paralyzed in bed. Even when he couldn’t move, he still found ways to torment her! She couldn’t count on her children, either. Losing a child before her time was bad enough, but every one of the rest accused her of playing favorites. As she lay on a cold kang, thinking back on her miserable life, she never expected to open her eyes and find herself reborn! Old Lady Cai flung off her apron. Whoever wants to be a virtuous wife and loving mother can do it themselves! She stops catering to everyone and heads straight to the island to join the eldest son who died young while serving in the military in her previous life, making up for all her regrets. Other people come back to life to fight over the household. She comes back to life to build things. In her spare time, she raises chickens, gathers seafood, and works the fields. Life couldn’t be more comfortable. And that nasty old man lying paralyzed in bed? He can stay right there! Building the motherland is better than serving a man! While her life gets better and better, her other children, who had grown estranged from her, come crying and begging for forgiveness one after another. Thanks to the memories of her previous life, the old lady somehow becomes one of the leading figures in developing the island, and her fame even reaches the capital!
