The Ultimate 1960s Life: Getting Rich with My Whole Family of Eccentrics

Ruomei has been transported to the 1960s and finds herself stuck with a whole nest of terrible relatives. What should she do?

Her father is a cripple with nothing but schemes on his mind. Her mother is a brazen scrounger who loves taking advantage of others.

Her eldest brother loves bragging and making empty promises. Her sister-in-law speaks in a syrupy, insincere way and picks fights for no reason.

Her second brother seems honest and simple, but he’s actually a wife-beater. Her second sister-in-law is hardworking, but she’s a son-preferring doormat who dotes on her husband’s family.

Her third brother is lazy, gluttonous, useless, and a gambler. Her third sister-in-law likes to burst into tears and clutch her heart in melodramatic distress at the slightest excuse.

Her fourth brother is lecherous and always making dirty jokes. He’s still unmarried.

Shen Ruomei: I can’t live like this anymore. Let’s just burn it all down!

The first time Xie Kai saw Shen Ruomei, she was chasing her own brother around the village with a shoehorn, beating him.

The second time, she was dragging her own mother home like a dead dog, her face dark with anger.

The third time, she was slapping her sister-in-law back and forth across the face.

Xie Kai: What kind of fierce, unfilial, unrighteous woman is that? Whoever marries her must have the worst luck in the world.

…

After countless meetings…

“Ruomei, marry me!”
