[Period setting + reborn + feel-good + a touch of ensemble cast + family life + no golden finger + ungrateful children]
Zhou Xiuqin never imagined that even as she lay dying, her son would marry her off again, all for a bride price of five thousand yuan!
After being driven to death by her own son, she opened her eyes and was reborn, back in the days when her unfilial son and daughter were still in the palm of her hand.
In her previous life, she had worked herself to the bone raising five children, only for every one of them to turn out ungrateful.
Now that she was reborn, she decided to abandon her sons and daughters and live for herself, enjoying her retirement in style.
Her eldest son schemed: “Mom, once I become a factory director, we’ll have the good life! I’ll build you the finest family grave when the time comes!”
Her clever younger son promised: “Mom, I’ll make a fortune and take care of you until the end! After you die, I’ll hold a banquet with 108 tables, the grandest the village has ever seen.”
Granny Zhou slapped her thigh and gave each of them a smack: “You could all die, and your old mother still wouldn’t!”
Her old man, Wang Shoutian, chimed in: “That’s my girl! With a tigress like you at home, our family’s fortunes will soar!”
The formidable old couple strode forward and tossed out a hefty gold brick. “Here, take it and play. We’ve got money!”
