Reborn in the 1970s: I Married an Arrogant Man

Qin Mei transmigrated to the 1970s. The original owner was also called Qin Mei. This wasn’t an arranged marriage where the couple had never even met: she had her eye on Xie Jingchen. Somehow, she learned he was going to marry an elementary schoolteacher, so she struck first and forced his hand by sleeping with him before they were married.

Her methods were despicable, but they worked.

The original owner was such a troublemaker that by eighteen, she had managed to make herself a twice-married widow.

Her attempt to bring good fortune through marriage failed, and the man on his deathbed died anyway. She was branded a disgrace to the village.

She had none of the original owner’s memories. How was a woman from the 21st century supposed to survive in the 1970s?

Fortunately, before she died, the original owner had found her a husband. She would cling to him, live off his blood, curry favor with her parents-in-law, fight her sisters-in-law, tear apart the green tea schemers, help her elder sister-in-law, kick her brother-in-law, encourage her disabled younger sister-in-law, and ride the wave of reform to make a fortune.

“Why hasn’t your sister-in-law come to look after you yet?”

Xie Jingchen’s mouth twitched as he watched the busy figure at the next bed. His wife was looking after another man.

“Are you sure he’s your husband?” Xie Jingchen couldn’t help asking.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Would I mistake my own husband?” Qin Mei shot him a glare.

Only when the man’s wife arrived and mistook her for a mistress, beating her up, did Qin Mei realize something was wrong. She had carefully looked after him for a week, but who had she been looking after?

Under a tree, the neighbors sat together chatting.

“So-and-so’s wife drank pesticide and died.”

“Why drink it herself? Why not make her in-laws drink it? If you’re not afraid to die, why be afraid of poisoning their whole family? If it were me, I’d make sure they all came with me. The road to the underworld would be less lonely that way.” Qin Mei couldn’t help interjecting.

“...” The neighbors.

That conversation... left her in-laws trembling with fear.
