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

Granny Qian was known in the village as a "useless pushover." Her daughter-in-law walked all over her, her sons treated her like an ATM, and even her grandson dared to spit at her. In the end, she was forced to sell the ancestral 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 pointed at her and cursed her as an "old hag who wouldn't die."

Granny Qian stopped crying and stopped making a scene. She smiled. She picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and pressed it to her daughter-in-law's neck. "Say that again?"

The whole family thought she had gone crazy.

They were right. She had gone crazy!

Her eldest son wanted money? She chased him down the road, sloshing a bucket of manure over him!

Her second daughter-in-law was slacking off? She slammed a bowl down on her head!

Her youngest son was gambling? She broke his leg and dragged him to the police station!

Just as everyone thought the family was about to fall apart, Granny Qian used her "madness" to cure everyone's "wretched behavior." With an iron fist, she reclaimed control of the household, led the family in opening workshops and factories, and became a renowned businesswoman in the region.
