Raising Kids in the 1980s

Ye Qian woke up from a night of heavy drinking and opened her eyes to find herself sporting a huge belly. What was going on? She was single, so how had she woken up as a mother?

She'd strained herself during the harvest rush and gone into labor. After giving birth, she passed out from the pain. When she came to, she learned she'd landed in a book. The original character was nothing more than cannon fodder. Her name was mentioned once, and then she was gone.

But her children were all remarkable. Her eldest son was the book's biggest villain.

Her second son was a fool, repeatedly used by his older brother before meeting a tragic end.

Her third child, a daughter, had the saddest fate. Neglected by her family, she grew up timid, and the original character's own mother tricked her into going off into the mountains.

The fourth child died within days of birth from an infection.

And that wasn't all. Her husband was slow-witted, her mother-in-law disliked her, her own mother schemed against her, and her husband's younger siblings were leeches...

What kind of family was this? Whatever! If she couldn't go back, then she'd fight back!

She'd straighten out each of the kids in turn. If they wouldn't listen, they'd get the stick!

Her husband was slow-witted, but she could teach him. If that didn't work, she'd divorce him!

If her mother-in-law disliked her, she'd split the household!

Her husband's younger siblings wanted to keep leeching off her? Get lost!

As for her own mother, she wasn't getting any money, and she wasn't getting Ye Qian's life either. If her mother played dirty, Ye Qian could play dirtier. Let's see what you can do about that!
