Reborn in the 1980s: Raising Kids and Enjoying the Gossip

1980s setting + space and spirit spring + watching the drama unfold + multiple rebirths + bargain hunting and investing

After Xu Lanyi was killed by a flowerpot while watching the commotion, she unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Zhang Xiulan, a war martyr's widow in the 1980s, and became a mother of three.

She had to deal with her awful in-laws, guard against her selfish birth family, and raise her three children well. Well, she really did have to do everything at once!

Working at the neighborhood office, she spent her days either drinking tea and knitting sweaters or settling family disputes and neighborly squabbles.

And she had to admit, it was rare to have a job where she could watch the drama unfold every day. Zhang Xiulan loved this job.

But Zhang Xiulan soon realized that some residents were acting very strangely. Some had undergone a complete change in personality, while others seemed to be the only ones who knew the truth.

And then there were those who acted like they were the greatest under heaven, while everyone else was a nobody and a mere stepping stone.

Was any of this normal?

Wang Xiuying: “I'm going to avoid every pitfall I fell into in my previous life. This time, I'll take charge of my own destiny.”

Sun Dazhu: “My foolish filial devotion got my wife and children killed in my previous life. This time, I'll take on heaven, earth, and my ancestors. My wife and children are the only people in the world who matter to me!”

Chen Sanniang: “In my previous life, I poured my heart and soul into raising a bunch of ungrateful wretches. This time, no one's taking advantage of me. Those ungrateful brats just haven't been beaten enough!”

Xu Fei: “I'm not marrying that bride. I'm not going to be someone else's fall guy! Reborn, I'm going to ride the wave and become the richest man in the world! I'll make everyone who looked down on me regret it!”
