Summary
Lin Lan woke up and transmigrated into a shrewish wife who drank pesticides. The original owner ruined her husband’s promising future, and all five of her children became villains in the end.
Her in-laws are biased. The uncles and aunts are insatiable. She has five bear children and a cold-faced husband to take care of. . .
Lin Lan: Trying to take my money? We’ve already separated. I’ll take it back!
My husband dares to run wild? I’ll teach him to be a new man!
It’s difficult to discipline wild children? That is due to the lack of love! Shower them with love!
What’s the matter with that cold-faced man?

Sir, are you having designs on a married woman just because her in-laws are bad? ? I’m watching you.
? Thanks for the update!
Pomelo
Same here. Please, Dr, have the good sense to be honourable when the woman hasn’t even personally shown any signs of wanting to separate!
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wut ? He heard about how a nice girl was driven to do crazy actions and was worried about her, ohh no what a horrible man.
I’m hoping he’s the actual male lead and mc divorces her dogshit husband tbh, but it’s pretty much impossible sadly enough considering the time frame and that Chinese stories in general just don’t do divorce.
abbygrey
You took my comment too seriously. ?
He’s definitely a very nice man and a good friend to help her so, especially after so long without having contact.
He is more than welcome to get together with her once she’s divorced but she’s still married and has not indicated this far in the story that she wants to get a divorce. However he’s not the male lead so it’s unlikely. ?
Also, give the dogshit husband a chance. The next chapters explain why he’s behaved the way he has until now.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Lol I get it man it’s just that sometimes you can’t differentiate between a joking tone and people that are just kind of slow.
But like what he can’t start trying just cuz she’s married ? Like I’m not saying people should cheat her everyone has different circumstances and for example here with a woman that only sees her man like once a year, if that, and she can’t get divorced without him being there is she supposed to not try anything until the guy decides to divorce her ?
Welp I doubt I’ll ever like the husband really, he really literally drove the original owner crazy, people called her a shrew and such but considering her circumstances she was just a very sad woman in a horrible situation and it was mostly his fault.
abbygrey
:))
You’re forgetting to take into account the context and the time period. Just for argument’s sake: she had already contacted him and knew he was going to at least reply to her so of course she’s going to wait. Secondly, divorcing is not very practical. She is poor, in a village and has all those children. Where does she go and how does she raise them on her own? If she wanted to get divorced she would have said so in her letter to her husband. Seeing how their relationship was, he wouldn’t have protested. And no, he can’t start trying because she’s still married. By webnovel definition, that constitutes cheating and a female lead doesn’t ever cheat. 😉
Finally, if you’ve caught up with the novel, then you’ve clearly read that she is at fault too. It’s definitely not all him, and not even mostly him. After all, he wasn’t there. She was in a miserable situation that got untenable of her own making.

In chinese (asian also) familes, elders take care of money and other major decision.
It’s same even in my family.

The most pathetic part of the 70s stories tends to be how worried the MCs are about their reputations and how their shameless relatives just keep getting away with stuff

What in the world is her mother in law doing with all the money!? Even the normal amount the husband sends back is a lot for the time.
Pomelo
Yep. I mean, her children seems underfed, FFS.
Dongdimples
Not sure if i remember it correctly but i think it was said that it was being given to the mother-in-law’s other children like the youngest. Because it was said in the past chapter that the youngest brother in law lives like he is rich (?)
Phaeme
Me tooa I would want to slit the family! Do you know how wealthy a person is with 260 yuan? It could sustained them for atleast 3-4 years.
Who’s splurging? I want receipts!
CUTESTSLOTHEVR
The mother in law playing poor after all the money her son has sent the family is what makes me angry. If nothing has been saved she hasn’t managed it properly and if there is money she’s badly neglected her grandson.

Thank you for the update. Lin Lan is one of my favorite mcs. The husband needs to get home soon though. She can’t get put of that house with the kids until he’s there.

While I understand why families had to pool resources like that, I’m so glad nowadays we don’t have to live this way.

I feel like Han Qingsong is either like a volcano – he’ll suddenly erupt – or a harsh cold blizzard – when he finally speaks or acts, he’ll freeze everyone out -.
Could this be a typo? ” The entire family should-n’t eat until they get the money back.” Also, “She didn’t expect that Erwang, who had a lot of sly intentions, would be willing to guard her instead of f-sucking up to his father.”

What kind of mother only thought about money, not his son’s injury?
A plus point to first brother who thought to ask him, although he didnt ask in the end.
Second brother and his wife were hopeless.

I bet first brother just doesn’t dare to interrupt his overbearing mother that’s still ranting on and on.
abbygrey
What a sad family. They’ve been in survival mode for so long, they only care about themselves instead of caring for each other. The eldest brother and his wife seem decent people but they’ve been suppressed for so long, they don’t dare to speak.

So basically: “The parent that has always been here, has slept on the bed in that spot for the last N amount of years didn’t leave that spot for me, which is *supposedly* the best spot, therefore the mans spot. I must be rejected.” Dude, whether it’s the original or our mc, you are a stranger to both. Why would she give her spot to you? Why would/should she immediately accept you? Because you sent your salary to your mother every month? LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE! LOOK AT YOUR CHILDREN! Can you honestly say your mother has taken care of them? Given them food or clothes? Why would she immediately welcome you, who hasn’t been there emotionally, physically, spiritually or even financially? -.-
poliii
I was like this before. But you’ll definitely love him in the next next next chaps ?. I hope they update more chaps next time!
Erella
I hope so. Tbh, I’m already kinda pitying him for having THAT as a mother. His father and siblings aren’t helping either. Dude just seems so lonely and almost homeless, like he is not welcomed or at *home* anywhere…
Still, doesn’t change my annoyance at that particular conclusion he made through the most weirdest channel/moment though~
Like not giving him her sleeping spot is considered rejecting? (?_?)
poliii
Ikr??? His mom is the worst. Her mom’s only using him to earn money for her youngest son and daughter. Even when Han Qingsong decided to separate his family with Lin Lan from his paternal family, she still wants a share from his salary. She’s literally the worst
Kazama Kiseki
His mom doesn’t just want a share from his salary she wants his whole damn salary
ry
he did explain why he thought so
Erella
You mean this: “His bed was placed at the end of the kang.
According to most people in their village, the head of the kang was the best position. Hence, it was usually the position of the male parent who occupied that space, then the women and the children.
Apparently, he was rejected.” ???
I already expressed my frustration for that “reasoning” and why it’s annoying.
The dude that came back suddenly, saw that his wife and children were sleeping in their (presumed) usual spot, and since they didn’t make way so the “best” spot could be left to him, it apparently means he is “rejected”. At least they cleared some room for him at the end of the kang, even with short notice. What did he expect? He is basically a stranger to all of them at the moment.
ry
that’s a valid point but i was more on the “ml doesn’t know his wife is not the wife he married anymore and he and og soul of fl’s body lived in the same village and might have the same belief” but i see where you’re coming from
abbygrey

Too true.
And tbh even the FL is quite iffy, she doesn’t appear particularly smart, she hasn’t really done much to changer her situation for the better, can’t talk with most of the kids, and now she’s already falling for the ML even after all the shit he pulled and even if he’s a block of wood.

I’m starting to wonder if Dawang’s behaviour is not modelled after his grandmother’s. This chopstick-throwing thing… Ugh…
But I hope his parents get through to him soon. It must be tough for him. Neglect and abuse from his mother, an ever absent father who’s just come back and whom he’s supposed to respect. All the adults around him have failed him so far. A lot of healing needed and trust to build.
Thanks for the update ?.
Pomelo
He’ll need to try to communicate with his son for once, and I wish him well on that endeavour. Lin Lan really already has too much on her hands right now to concern herself with Dawang as well on top of that. Maybe once the family has settled in their new homes, things could be different. Right now, she just doesn’t have the time or energy yet.
Pomelo
Yes, communicate, dammit, she can’t read your mind!
On the other hand, I do enjoy their slow and steady progress with each other. As always, thanks for the translation!

Pomelo
Nooooo, a cliffhanger!
As for her lack of fear about divorce…Well, she’s a modern woman. It’s no surprise that she isn’t intimidated at the idea of having to live on her own and earn her own living. At the very least, her family registry wouldn’t be bound to the original owner’s birth family anymore, so that’s one concern that she didn’t need to worry about.

I kinda enjoy how the novel portrays that the ‘strong and silent type’ might be great at many things, miscommunication can screw a relationship over as easily, especially if he really doesn’t know how to communicate. It’s a convincing flaw. It’s not one that’s just mentioned in passing but never became relevant in-story.
He feels pretty human to me and I appreciate that.

So shameless woman always comes with the fact she raised her.

She also stole all the money from his wife and provided bad food for them. Meanwhile she allows her other children to be lazy and doesn’t require them to be filial and provide her with money etc.

Yep, let the second son’s family work as much as the eldest’s. HQS, you’re doing well so far.
Thanks for the chapter ??!
Secretly a Plant
Gosh I hate that elder sister in law most of all. She is not good. at. all. Feeling embarrassed/pity knowing what the other relatives are doing are not right yet still catering to the whims of those abusive people. She is abusive herself, a prime example of what an enabler is. I would gladly take the outright scorn of the 2nd sister in law over her at any day cuz with her I know clearly she has no good intentions with me. Yall if you know someone like Elder SIL in your life, take caution, that person will not help you at all.
Pomelo
Yeah, better a fist in your face than a knife in the back.
Rutica
Same here. I just can’t stand her. The first sister in law. Everyone else is pretty much black or white, out in the open and actually knows how to be honest but she is so hardworking, so pitiful, striving to be a good mother and a wife and a daughter in law. Until she rebels of course. Meanwhile she feeds the sweet potato leaves and stems to the third son and his family, to the man who went to the army instead of her man and supported all of them for a decade, to starve him and his family essentially, and rich and nutritious tender white flour pancakes to her own. And she knows she is wrong yet continues to do it! Because she can get away with it in such environment. Kudos to the author able to create such a gray zone character, good or bad depending on her circumstances, that elicits such strong emotions :)))
Secretly a Plant
Now I’m not one to slap an elderly or anyone else really but this bi-
Pomelo
? Nah, I wouldn’t advise that as much as I agree with you. She’s too good at playing the victim. The best revenge against her is indeed living well. Separating the household fully, and then successfully start a business or something while only giving her rudimentary ‘filial piety’ money.
Erella
Don’t they understand what “separation of the family” mean? (?_?)

if you know that it is insane why the heck are you condoning it?!?! because you feel its too hard to have your wife making a fuss towards you? because even as it was there was no peace with the predecessor threatening sef harm all the time… smh
Pomelo
Because he’s not good with words? Dunno, I got the impression that Han Qingsong certainly got that trait from his father.
daeree
not an excuse. it speaks so much of his character when he sees children starving and has the money to take care off that but only allows his wife to give it away from the ones who aren’t starving at all. either he doesn’t care enough or he’s just too weak willed to do something about it.
Pomelo
He doesn’t even realise his children are starving. He only comes home for a short while before, and that’s between long periods spent in deployment. She’s not wrong to think of him as a passing stranger right now.
It’s not an excuse, it’s simply is. It’s what things are from her perspective.
Devi Shapfitri
I think @daeree was talking about Old Man Han (HQS’s father) instead of the ML.
I like to Eat and Read
What the heck is THAT?! dawang don’t even know anything and just go and follow her grandma… if I were the mc I’ll just divirce and leave dawang
Pomelo
In that kind of conservative past era? There’s no guarantee that life would be easier or any safer for her. Wouldn’t put it past some creeps to prey on a single mother/widow, and for people to blame her if something happened.
Cowri2ra
nah if i have knowledge from the future life is easy fashion, songs, and more yk how rich i would be if i were in her shoe
Pomelo
That still assumes that one lives in an era where there’s a clear and fair enforcement of the law. Let’s not pretend that many past eras in various countries were fair towards women, or wouldn’t blame the women when they were the victims of a crime.
Heck, women didn’t use to be able to have their own bank accounts and credit cards in the US in the 20th century!
Cowri2ra
If i MAGICALLY get reincarnated into the past im pretty sure i can MAGICALLY change the law and there is always pretending to be dude or befriend a nice guy to work and pretend to be me or sing if i can sing well rn im pretty sure i will able to sing then or work as a fashion designer in a small store as a clener and work my way up im pretty good With art i can make art or make ups soaps female hygienes i can steal song from now and sell it there

Lin lan’s husband should just let Lin lan handle it. He’s getting on my neeeervessss
daeree
true. he’s been absent for so long so he hadn’t known the whole situation but now he has been given a wake up call and should know better. being honoring your elders is good and well but one should also consider their children’s future. elders have so little years to live but the children have to endure longer.
Wondering soul
Yaaas grandpa you speak up! ??I am liking this old man more and more
MelayStuff
What is that saying…
Just because you were treated like shit does not give one permission to begin treating others as shit citing your own treatment as leeway
Being shitty is being shitty
Pomelo
Yep. Just because you were once a victim doesn’t give you the right to victimise other people.
That’s just perpetuating the cycle of abuse.

that’s the cycle of abuse. it’s a great and horriying curse that lasts generation after generation. it takes one person of high will and kindness to break it

freaking horrible how third is treated by his parents. steal his money under pretext, cheat him out of even an equal part if it was allocated to everyone (even though its all his in reality) and the father is only les bad but thats not much better, just more face saving. he took his brothers place in military, has that family with only 1 brother good and such a shrew wife that all his kids lives got derailed.
thankfully now with his new and impoved wife and his changing views he will have a better future.
this whole family drama is exhausting, but worth it to get out of there – hope its over soon though.
Claine
I’m glad lin Lan lol I do find the husband annoying but that’s probably because of the generation gap
Pomelo
Whoooo, Erwang! Great memory there! Let your mother educate you high enough, and you can go to the city and escape this shitty grandmother!
Pomelo
Heh heh. The kids’ complaints are going to fill up his ears day by day.
daeree
as they should. there’s a limit to his silence, if i was lin lan i don’t think i’d put up with him and his low eq.
Pomelo
I like how she’s seriously thinking of fixing the beginnings of Erwang’s potentially crooked character. It’s really one of the most important things for children—teaching knowledge you know is much easier than changing character.
Pomelo
Ha! She has the air and intimidation ability of an investigator! I like it.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
I wonder what was her job before, she said she was successful
Pomelo
Heh, dawang, you missed too much.
Pomelo
HAHAHAHA. Now, this is how you get the old lady to blow a gasket!
Speak calmly and with a clear tone, but speak frankly and bluntly, with Lin Lan couching none of her complaints and remembering all past ails. What’s wrong is still out there, and if the old lady doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the complaints and wouldn’t budge, then Lin Lan doesn’t see a reason to change or budge her own position either.
Pomelo
Heh, so a miniboss is coming up, huh? And she had no idea that Lin Lan had successfully dealt with the zone’s boss already. This is going to be fun.
Claine
they were using gingsong huh good for him that Lin lan came to his rescue

Sera Takafumi
A tree? ?
Rutica
She means wood, things made out of wood from the main room or from the room of the young twins: a desk, a wardrobe, a chest or a trunk to store clothes, a vanity etc. Whatever a bride gets or brings with her. Whatever the third son and his kids deserve as part of their state. She wants her in-laws to send them away with some valuable furniture from their estate, not just a broken dining table with missing leg and a few tree stumps to sit on. And her mother-in-law objects, she wants to give good wood (furniture and other worthy items made from wood) to her treasured golden twins when they marry.

Meihua88
I am getting anxiety with all her spending lol…I am so impatient to know the reason why she’s splurging like that, since she even says herself that she just wants to throw her money down and have them give her whatever her money can get…
Lynnx_013
Saame just wondering why she’s spending the money so much and im getting curious and tensed!
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Remember than acide from the money they got from the old couple she still has a bunch of money hidden from when she went to town.

Guess the Lin family would trouble her too
sara
begging that this is a “rich get richer poor get poorer” thing (where if you can afford a good quality product, you dont need to buy it over and over agaim, thus in the end actually it saves money) and not just mindless spending… but i don’t think that would justify the straw baskets that “literally everyone knows how to do”
scared for her lol
Tharan Ravichandran
So stupid they can just collect the evidence of expenditure and accuse them of stealing that stupid ml ‘s money and throw them in jail

then he’d be unfilial. and that would be considered immoral in the eyes of ther people.

You see this type of retarded “she’s just a kid” mentality is what turns children into wastes.
Bylee Victoriqua Malox
Thank you. You teach a child the right ways when they are young and they will remember it all their lives.
If you refuse to fix a misbehaviour or ignore it because the child is young, the time you realize how horrible that behavior is, its too late. It’s now part of their personalities. Some parents never address their childrens bullying behavior then make a surprised Pikachu face when said kids are arrested for assault in the near future.

mindseye
crazy, how is your home life?
Old Han ofc has faults but he’s not that evil as Lady Han(Now she’s evil af). He’s basically human
Favoritism is normal, it’s human nature, it’s good enough that he tries to be reasonable. It’s not a bad thing.
Lady Han is def out for blood tho, highly unreasonable
daeree
let’s not take digs from other people’s home lives.
especially for a comment on a webnovel about a fictional character.
while it’s true that people do have favorites but if it at the cause of someone else’s suffering then yes he is evil. not that evil is still evil. a stained blouse no matter how small that stain is, is still a stained blouse.

Man like c’mon the husband is absolute garbanzo and you cant really blame that on OW being a shrew or whatever, for 10 years she was just waiting air, the dide only came back to impregnate her 5 fucking times and left her with these blood sucking vampire of a “family” to fend for herself without caring for her or her children.
Like dude I’m over here wishing she divorces him really he’s just a garbage person.
Extremely unlikely, even current Chinese authors don’t have the guys to go through with characters divorcing it’s just not done in china.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Dogshit family, hopefully they get the Chinese mob character bad ending where they all end up fucked.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Man this guy sucks.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wow this ML is really useless.
Mc isn’t much better off really and it’s pissing me off so much author already has her thirsting after this garbanzo ML.
Pomelo
Her sister is amusingly a tsundere? Wow. I certainly didn’t expect that!
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wow china really sucks hu ? And even more so in these times, welp about the same really.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Dogshit husband, man I’m hoping and praying over here mc divorces him but ….. Very unlikely…..
JustCallMeDaBoss
? I wouldn’t mind this being the male lead.
But welp I think it’s gonna be some scumbag that saw a pretty woman that looked like an easy mark being a peaseant and was trying to smash her or something.
Cuz like in these times you just didn’t casually touch a woman.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Welp just look at your government overlords filling themselves on the literal blood and sweat of their people, but they gotta keep them uneducated and focused on getting enough to eat.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Women, be a little nice to them and they think you’re going after them, am I right or am I right folks ?
And welp there’s 2 paths from there really either you’re handsome and they flirt back or politely reject you or you’re ugly and the blow the little smidgen of self confidence you build up to talk to them to smithereens.
Lay
This is a novel set in ancient china. Where every kind of closeness between 2 ppl of opposite gender would be interpreted as them having an affair. And here, a married woman with an absent husband and the reputation of a shrew talking to a man (even if it’s a doctor) for more than a few seconds and going with him to the cafeteria (aka she accepted his help out of necessity) ALONE with a child but without her husband or any other woman of her family? Yeah no next day she’ll be labeled as a s*ut that cheated on her husband while using the excuse of treating her child. Also in that time and era a man approaching a woman he (supposedly) doesn’t know and being overly kind to her means only one thing and it isn’t a good one for a married woman. Pls think before comparing real life to a freaking novel next time ?
JustCallMeDaBoss
Ancient China? Bro it’s the 70s wtf are you on about ?
abbygrey
The original Lin Lan really had it hard. The in-laws from hell, the selfish mother who takes advantage of her daughters’ rivalry for her love and attention, the absent husband, the unruly kids… It’s no excuse but I can understand a bit why she was such a shrew. Stuck in this constant-in-fighting loop, no support system whatsoever… I’m surprised she didn’t die earlier.
Thanks for the update!
Lynnx_013
Yeahh honestly if I were in that family I would’ve gone insane XD
JustCallMeDaBoss
“Maybe her husband’s family was worthless, after all— driving a perfectly normal girl into a corner of madness.”
Yes, yes to all, her supposed husband doesn’t deserve her cuz he’s dogshit along with his family.
And I really hope !c divorces and we even have a new ML here, make it happen author please.
JustCallMeDaBoss
I wish you were the ML doctor guy, you’ve already done more for mc then her husband has done in 10 years.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Hopefully she can correct this little girl, welp it’s her daughter so of course right ?
JustCallMeDaBoss
Burn them mc.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Nice green tea skills !c, truly a modern woman attacks through schemes and sweet words.

It’s always better to not be too helpful really, people start expecting you to be helpful all the time then, and well it of course depends on who you’re like that with but you get my point.

Man this guy is our ML ? This spineless dumb wood ?
Yep there’s a reason why I don’t read many stories with females as the leads the Mal’s always suck, either a weird dead piece of wood, a creepy overbearing ceo or some useless guy that feels safe.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Useless ML only now he cares about his son hu ? An hour later after he came back ? Clap clap clap, father of the year ladies and gentlemen.
And of course mc is already wetting her pants over this tall and mysterious silent man with his powerful male pheromones.
Garbage.
Story better keep the focus on the kids and not this scummy MLnor I’m dropping this m
JustCallMeDaBoss
Nice one mc, let this garbage husband of yours finally have to face this vampire family of hisnn
JustCallMeDaBoss
Erwang is the best.
But like bro really is it any wonder the original owner went crazy with these bunch of scum ? With this useless husband ?
I feel so bad for her ….. Hopefully she took over mcs body in our world and she got a happier life.
Natasha
But I think it would be harder for her to survive in modern world. It’s good that she had mc’s memories. With that kind of personality, sigh, our today society is no way better tho. Yes theres gender equality, but rather than physical torture our society knows it so well how to torture us mentally.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wut ? Lol women habe most advantages nowdays cmon lol.
Natasha
Hmm… Is that so?
JustCallMeDaBoss
Man this ML is such garbanzo and this author too is dragging this out way too long I’m just getting extremely frustrated with everyone and hate them all.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Garbage ML
JustCallMeDaBoss
This series is just pissing me off now, this old lady talks way too much, the ml is a useless block of wood, those 2 other sons are kind of annoying, the pace is slow as hell, it’s just be irksome to read this.
Like even the mc isn’t all that great, she hasn’t done anything particularly praiseworthy tbh, like I know people disloke it when characters get too licky but this mc has just been goong aroind living the life of a peaseant without doing much ….
JustCallMeDaBoss
And it’s especially bad in these times when people were very paranoid and always trying to fuck with others and accused them of “wanting wealth” and that could get you killed.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wow this guy is such a block of wood.
Like I get it he had a shitty mother + the times he was raised in + he just seems silent by nature but he’s so dry man and he never really cared for original owner or her children and just now mc needs to coax every detail out of him and give him a full view of the situation.
Unbelievable.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Hey fuck off ML the oldest sister inmoaw might be a pushover but she’s not a bad person, she’s the most pitiful one after the original owner.
Rutica
She is as bad as the rest of them. She served burnt rancid corn pancakes to a starving little kid with sick stomach. While she served her own kids tender white flour pancakes. She is ruthless and heartless. Her actions speak louder than words.
JustCallMeDaBoss
You gotta take her situation and what type of person she is into account, she’s being threatened into being an asshole or face the same thing, they all live in that hellhole with that crazy old witch and ita not like she can do much, later on you’ll see how bad she feels about this.
Remember in those times it’s not like a woman could just up and leave, not like people like her would do it now but welp, her character goes an interesting way.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Sheesh mc why are you so thirsty already?
JustCallMeDaBoss
Burn her dude
JustCallMeDaBoss
Man poor mc dude.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Sister is kinda likable really, like those types of assholes you hate but whenever they’re in your team you can’t help but like that they’re there since they make things interesting.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Well hopefully he opens his eyes to what a dogshit mother he has just cuz they’re your blood relatives doesn’t mean theyre your family.
Man I feel bad for the first family but they’re such pushovers so they’re bringing on themsleves really, man or woman you need a pair of balls on you to not have this happen.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Useless bro.
Everyday it’s just everyone complaining and being being a bother it’s just like looking at a comments section just depressing all around.
JustCallMeDaBoss
And just now you notice this ?
Useless bro, might as well go get deballed cuz you really shouldn’t be having children being such an irresponsible person.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Kill her dude.
JustCallMeDaBoss
What a useless guy, ohh yes now you’ll change for the better after original owner kicked off ?
Useless.
JustCallMeDaBoss
This is so depressing bro, I feel so bad for original owner, a nice woman ruined by a disgusting family and a useless husband.
JustCallMeDaBoss
You were gonna stay there mc ?
Truly I don’t really like this mc either she’s too useless and not really resolute.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Well it just took him 10+ years to realize it and original onwer literally phasing out of existence to realize.
So imma have to give this guy an F-
jack
Other than letters I doubt the previous MC couldn’t complain much as ML was hardly home pretty occupied with neighbors etc and MC mentioned always tied to belt.
JustCallMeDaBoss
I feel so bad for this poor eldest sister, she’s such a gentle person and she really just trying her best in this disgusting family ….
But she’s been knocked down too many times but how disgusting they are and being raised on these times when women were expected to just take it makes ot all the worse with her de!it personality….
JustCallMeDaBoss
About time bro, this really took way too long, and we’re already halfway through the story so not much of anything is gonna happen I guess ? Or is there gonna be a long timeskip ? Cuz like really nothing much has happened lol.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Lol i find it weird and funny mc keeps on referring to educating the children as brainwashing.
JustCallMeDaBoss
At least this old guy isn’t as insane as his wife.
He’s still trash though.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Man china sure is horrible hu ?
And it looks even worse those times.
JustCallMeDaBoss
I guess mc forgot that in china in these times if people spent so much money like this they could get accused of being spies or capitalists and then killed by the army ?
JustCallMeDaBoss
Wait a minute so what’s her flaw ? She’s promiscuous? Nah she’d have gotten shot for that in these times, she would be promiscuous in our times though.
It just sounds like she’s easily led along by men I guess ? And i guess it’s cuz she feels inferior to her sister in appearance so a few pretty words is all it takes to get her?
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
I guess she's one of those women who mother their husbands.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Seems like a nice person actually this 3rd sister, but the family of mc also seems like a bunch of blood sucking vampires.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Man this guy really is a boring block of wood hu ?
Welp least he’s growing a spine and knows to oamoer his wife instead of carong about outside voices.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Lol nice one kid, you say a good thing every once in a while even of you’re kind of a dumbass.
JustCallMeDaBoss
Welp I’ve caught up …. Time to kill off a few braincells and machine translate this.
Also I knew something was very wrong with these chapters, they’re being broken up into many tiny parts and released that way, no wonder I thought it was weird we were already at chap 131 out of 166, nah we’re barely at chapter 25.
It’d be nice of you put up the chapter 23 part 5 stuff and such lol.
Yeah we’re still pretty early in, so there’s still a lot of time for things to get better I guess, though I’m worried I’ll read this and then dislike it, like I’m very iffy on the ML and even the mc is kind of meh but I do like some of the children and that there’s actually been a decent focus on them but I’mma be pissed if the story devolves into a sappy boring romance between the block of wood ML and mc becomes useless.
And the chapters are quite long so it’s gonna take a while to read this …. Whatever I’ll give it a try.

Probably Old Madam Han going to town, the telegram, and Han Qingsong being away right now are related

do u want a spoiler regarding this? no? okie
al103
Maybe the fact that you already utterly failed in that regard before…
poliii
I think this is mainly the greedy granma’s fault. But it is also Qingsong’s fault coz he just work and work and doesn’t even check if the money he sends goes to his wife. He’s so dumb on that part.
al103
He visited. How do you think so many children appeared? And his wife TOLD him that they get nothing. He just didn’t done anything about it before. How do you think psychosis with latching up on her birth family that actually give attention to her and all those suicide antics appeared? From the doctor words initially girl was nothing like that.
Receive this Imperial Decree!
Amen!
Pomelo
Aahh, he’s falling back to his silent guy reflexes, which doesn’t actually work that well in real life because marriages are built on communication.
Lin Lan isn’t someone who wants to just be coddled and assured that everything is fine and well-handled by her husband. She still has her modern outlook and would rather know his problems and be able to help him with it instead of just sitting tight and being pretty.
FreeToLiveMyWay
this. not to mention being coddled leads to really big trouble if he can’t handle it and she has no clue which causes everything to go to sh*t.
man has company, does everything, she at home and doing charity or something. company is bankrupt but he doesn’t tell her coz he is holding up the sky. well, she finds out after they lose everything and nothing is to be done anymore. life happens and being ignorant of the truth can really hurt you.
Pomelo
Yeah. It also makes sense if he’s a bit confused, because the original Lin Lan apparently preferred not to know about his issues. Thankfully, she’s changing his perspective of her character bit by bit.

Embarrass the family? SHE is NOT the one who embarrassed the “family” but the “family” that did something worth to be embarrassed about. You wouldn’t acknowledge or admit to it unless someone other than the people whom benefit from it learns of it.

chuchuchoerry
Moments like this really highlight how greed makes you dig a deeper hole for yourself. If the main family had just shut the hell up and sat there, they could have kept that money. But no, they decided to keep making problems (as if their asses weren’t beaten every single time) and still act as if they’re the victims. Bro, the uncle hit his own nephew and he still acts as if he’s the one getting oppressed. Scumbags, the lot of them, and there’s no helping, changing, or saving them.
abbygrey
I’m flabbergasted by how much he managed to send home all this time, and appalled at the status and condition his family had at the same time. It’s a pity he’s not there to hear first-hand how little of his money actually fed his children. Filial piety is good, but parents have a duty to their children as well. They never asked to be born.
Thanks for the update!
MelayStuff
Yeah I did the math from converting the 7,521 yuan to CAD (so I could understand the values) and then I did a rough inflation calculation which came out to be $10,935.17. That is SO MUCH MONEY FOR BACK THEN OMG. And to think our girl was supposed to be getting like half of that!
Erella
I don’t feel bad for old man Han. Even if he didn’t know HOW much there was, he still knew that:
A. That old hag sent money to her maternal family (consistently most likely) and then criticized her daughter-in-law when she did the same B. The old hag ceaselessly kept wasting money on her adult children buying this very expensive pair of shoes and buying all the government operated restaurant meals. EVEN THOUGH THEY SUPPOSEDLY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FEED THE CHILDREN OF THE BRANCH FAMILY WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM!
A child is sick and needs a doctor? “No money!” Han Jinbao wants to impress his ‘friends’?
“SaY nO MorE!” No matter how blind or ignorant old man Han is, it’s not an excuse to basically sit back and watch as all of his daughter-in-law’s and grandchildren are either thin, malnourished or sick. Not to mention that one was at the point of going insane due to his wife and their mother-in-law!
(?°-°)????? (?°?°)? ????
Thank you for the chapter! I hope Han Qingsong comes back soon and learns of what had happened.
T-T
Lynnx_013
Wow XDDD impressive remarks almost felt like an essay
but u are right tho it can’t be helped not to feel bad for the old man
Rutica
That old hag is his wife with whom he had six children and a long life together through unimaginable to us atrocities and poverty of Japanese occupation and 30years of Civil war in Northern China, plus 3 years of the worst famine in human history. No wonder they helped their in laws family to survive and felt what they felt about money. Qingsong’s money saved dozens of people in their family. In semistarvation state but alive.
You feel what you feel or not feel, but the old couple is only human. He is crying because he is in a situation where the government was not allowing the farmers to earn any money, only work points, his wife with her bound feet cannot work either. They literally cannot earn back that money in the current environment in China.
Natasha
I’ve read some 70s chiness novels, and still couldn’t fully understand how this work point and ticket worked up actually. So this system was actually only for farmers? They had no their own land and field? That’s crazy. They worked for whom? Some rich landlords? For the government?
Rutica
Natasha, it’s a commune. They basically got all their land together and work it together. No private land nor field no more, everything belongs to the commune. In some communes initially they did not even have their own food, eating together in a communal diner. They worked for their comune. All decisions were made by the communist party cadres and by the army. This novel describes the emergence of the police in 1970s China (the ML becomes essentially the head of police in their commune) and attempts to end the feudal culture in rural areas by educating people (the FL’s career in this novel). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_commune
bananabaobao
Oh my god, I’m so sorry for the late reply. Yes, thank you so much rutica for this reply. I’ll go to check about it latter.

“Old Man Han had lost his entire life’s worth of dignity.”
Dignity? Since when did he have any? At most he’s as invisible as the first son.
Oh, I mixed up “dignity” and “presence”. But since he has neither I guess it doesn’t matter.
?(???)?
Adam
Don’t be so hard on him. China during that period had a long tradition of wives caring for everything in the house, and men caring for things outside the house. If you’re going to blame the old man the you also have to blame Han Qingsong for not caring more about where all his money went. For 10 years he sent all his money home to Mom while not caring how his wife and children were cared for.
Erella
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m also blaming Han Qinsong for not inquiring more about his family and taking the time to see how they are. Of course he couldn’t go home often, I get that, but mc’s body and him have like 5 kids, so he has been back a couple times yet still didn’t notice the emaciated look of his wife and kids or their living condition. He knew of all the “antic’s” the og made yet didn’t even stop to think about it for a second, until it was too late. And he doesn’t even know it.
And for old man Han? He is, as much as I dislike it, the patriarch, the head of the family and “the man in charge”. There is nothing wrong with having the woman be in charge of things inside and the man outside, outdated as that is now, but back then in China men were in charge of the whole family. So when his wife failed her duty as a mother-in-law and as grandma, he should have stood up and done SOMETHING. Especially since his children and their wives couldn’t due to the age-old iron cage of “filial piety”. The og died because of that family un-intentionally or otherwise. And I just can’t forgive that.
Of course the og is no saint and blameless, especially considering how she treated her own kids. But did she deserve to be left all alone with 5 kids, starved, no support
emotionally, spiritually, physically or financially? No. Did the og even have friends?
Adam
Well reasoned. You’ve convinced me. LOL
Erella
Yay! Btw, do you also have problems with Disqus? For me. I get notified when someone comments on my comment.. But everything else? Nada

Erella
I have. But nothing is working. My brother has the same problem so we are baffled. ?(‘?`;)?
Pomelo
Yep, he has all the authority to make his opinion known and stop his wife. It’s just that he’s too cowardly to do so and choose to just let the status quo go on, even if it meant that Lin Lan and her kids are the ones to bear the brunt of the exploitative division of money that Qingsong sent home.
As the head of the household, the buck stops with him.
Sekstifire
Actually I'm pretty sure he was internally semi-bragging about that being an intentional strategy a while ago. Like he ALSO favors Jinyu and Jinbao, he just realizes that acting like he disagrees with his wife and wants everything to be fair keeps his other kids filial. Basically a combination of enabling and good cop.
Rutica
I am sure that it is not dignity but ‘face’ in the raws. It’s different. And completely understandable.
Adam
in previous chapter it showed lin lan taking a roll of money, was that the 1200 yuan? not sure about how i feel about here stealing that and then also getting then to give her another 1500 which they obviously don’t have.
Meihua88
I thought she saw but didn’t touch it, I’m guessing to rightfully get it back. But when old lady Han said it was stolen, this confused me too
Dongdimples
Hmm im also not sure but after reading this chapter, maybe she will only get 300 more since she already has 1200. Im confused
Rutica
Why do you call it stealing? Did she steal her marriage certificate as well then? This is her husband’s money that his mother was “safekeeping” for him but stole it from her own son instead. Lin Lan stole nothing.
She told the “golden youth” to give back what they owe their brother either in cash or in goods that they purchased with his money because raising them is not his responsibility.
abbygrey
More, more, more. I want this family to implode! ?

naur because everytime they complain, they always say that the money belonged to the family. then by that logic, they should have also given back the money when lin lan split the family up since her husband (legit forgot his name) is no longer part of the main family, hence no longer their money. but logic doesnt work on greedy f*ckers so violence unto them ?

even if it belonged to the family, were they not part of it then, so no reason to withhold all money from them then. full of bs these ppl

The eldest SIL is such a hypocrite. Her speech about not speaking two languages in one family is the prime example of it. She was the one who was divisive and did what she did to suppress and starve the third son’s family, daily. Her character is so twisted! She is truly bad. The only thing that saves her is that she is pretty much harmless once she is in a better environment. Then she behaves. She does not generate evil, she serves it, she only submits and supports it when it is beneficial to her. Once she is in a company of good people, she serves good people. Again, because it is beneficial to her.

Realmente ella sale perdiendo, la mitad de 7500 seria 3550, ella pide solo 3000. Como ya tomó 1200 aceptó bajar los 3000 a 1500. En la separación le dieron 100, por lo que aún le deben 200.
De igual manera es injusto porque su marido debe dar la mitad de su salario a sus padres cuando ninguno de sus otros hermanos lo hace, de hecho solo lo gastan.

I was a fool to given birth to you and raised you.
This is the worst thing that parents could said to their child. This is heartless and cruel. No matter how old your children are, they don’t deserve to hear such saying. As a asian myself, growing up to put filial pity firts of all, this is heart aching. Parents also should know that children living their lives with guilt every single breath they took. How frustratation and self loath they feel every time they think they made wrong decision, how every time they think they’re not good enough for their parents. So all of this hard works, self loathed, guilty were in vain because you actually regret having a child like me?

“It’s fine that my son tried to rob you because he failed anyway” What sort of brain dead argument is this?

Pomelo
I either sleep like the dead, or I find it really hard to fall asleep. Almost no in-between for me (unless something wakes me up in the middle of the night–like the cat, or my freaking bladder). So, I never had any trouble sleeping no matter who was nearby ?

I was told I’m the snorer. I miss my childhood. I didn’t snore back then.

I’m afraid for Lin Lan. After all, he is not her ‘true’ husband. She didn’t marry him, she has never slept with him (not that THAT makes a true couple), she didn’t give birth to the kids (also not an indication of a true family, but her present body did with another person’s soul/concience… which muddles things up), she is also not from that timeline. A stranger. This is not the family she originally had, nor did she choose any of this. (I think. Been a while.) Does she see him as her husband? Or does she see him as *her* (the original Lin Lan’s) husband?
Not to mention Chinese novels have this infuriation (and concerning) habit of making the women: Hurt, suffer, dislike *it*, not want *it*, being unable walk after *it*, suffering from from the after effects etc..
And after seeing *her* memories when *they* did *it*… I’m worried. (‘?`;)
Of course I could be just too sensitive about this.

And now everyone is calculating everything when it comes to the least corrupt official in the whole county, probably the whole province, but they don’t go out of their way to denounce those that are really corrupt since they’re afraid of retaliation.

It’s like they’re being punished for being a little better.

This is my hypothesis: The Platoon Leader has been paid off by that Zhao uncle to find fault with Director Han and remove him from his position.
And really, most people wouldn’t go so far as to blame the victim for the convict’s escape.

I’m EXTREMELY surprised by that doctor’s advice. I know that family planning in China was wayyyy more extreme than what she’s suggested, which was a contraceptive ring. Once they focused on family planning, the Communist Party of China limited the number of children each family could have…to just one. As a result, there were many forced abortions and in the 80s, mandatory sterilization became a thing. If they had contraceptive methods like the one the doctor describes, why on earth did they take it so far? Was it because it was easier to sterilize and force abortions rather than mass produce contraceptives?

You answered yourself. The part you’re talking about is in the 80s while mc is living in the 70s which is around mao zhedong’s time. It was a communist govt. And as u can see …the more family members u got, the more food u could secure for yourself…this has been mentioned several times in the story .. the country remained stagnant for quite a while.. it finally ended in 1976..their economy opened up..& u know what people do when their living conditions improve? Pump out more babies. To address this issue the one child policy was introduced in 1980.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
This story is set in the 70s, so that could be it.

“You wouldn’t understand even if I explain it,…”
I was appalled the most by this. Isn’t it doctors’ duty to explain what kind of the medical procedure they’re planned/optioned for the patient, the reasons and the risks? When the patient can’t hear/take the explanation, the doctor should inform their family or anyone who could take responsibility for them.

I think old man Han also useless, he’s no good at all, just because he was silent all the time and talk about family peace doesn’t mean he is good, isn’t this old hag become like this partly his fault? His mother definitely treated his wife badly and he don’t do anything about it like that old hag said, when she’s a daughter in law she also served her mother in law like that, which is why now his wife find pleasure and pride in tormenting his daughter in law, feel that it’s her right to do so and there’s nothing wrong with that like it’s a normal thing to do so

Lol, mc is stupid. There is vasectomy and ligation. She’s a transmigrator so she should know that it is effective or did she come from a poor rural place before transmigrating that she is so ignorant?
NubeTrasnochada
She does know but ligations can be risky and aren’t always effective and she doesn’t want to ask him to do a surgery when she’s not willing to go through one herself. Also it’s the 70’s, how safe were those surgeries then? MC has reasons to be doubtful.
Xaviera
Agreed. Equipment in surgeries were not as advanced yet so the risk factor is higher. I think she made a good decision. If the condoms really do not work out for them then they can opt for surgery.

I’m glad i don’t live in those times. I’d be fighting and scolding like OC. Even Old Lady Han and Old Man Han could get these scoldings.
Reflecting on myself… They might not like me.????

Listen, i will beat the old lady and the son. Put them together. I’m so mad! ???

The third brother went from a military man to a kebab seller but he couldn’t be either

Divorce! Damn! For a soldier, you are not righteous or just!
Come here, i’ll beat you too! ???

Gosh, why is he reminding of my fiancé? I swear he be cryptic like this sometimes. ???

The man nearly died a few times in the army. Can’t you just spare 20 Yuan? This is too much!
Phaeme
Old lady is still after that money. Hide it well.
Phaeme
Good. The good things of a soldier! I almost gave up on you ml. I should’ve given you a chance for a few days. I feel good.
Phaeme
I have higher standards for grandpa. He is kinda fair but he keeps quiet and that’s what annoys me, the old lady listens to you regardless. Saying a sentence or two isn’t bad. Most injustices would have been dealt with if he said something, that’s why i’m like say something old man.
Technically, third son isn’t unemployeed. Why treat him so badly? He can complain and get back most of his money with no problems. He may not hit you, but he can bite you soooo bad!
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
I think grandpa stays quiet in an attempt to respect his wife, he doesn't want to challenge her authority, especially not in front of the whole family, but she's too dumb to use that respect wisely.

Phaeme
A new low. Damn, this old couple, are you considered human? No matter how biased you are, you still have six kids in total! The power play is stupid. None of your three older sons will care for you in the future.
Phaeme
Eldest brother, i like you. I really do but you are very blind. Over 5K in your mom’s closet. You are still living no worse than the 3rd family. 4th brother and your youngest sister are living so well. Your younger siblings spent about 2K alone, what about you and your kids? Filial piety is not a prison sentence
Phaeme
Sanwang, no sense of crisis. Good for you but it is worrisome ???
Phaeme
I heard scholars and soldiers are natural enemies, is this what’s happening here? Assuming he’s just an ordinary soldier to press him down? I heard that the higher the rank of soldiers, the higher the requirement for education… It’s still too early but i hope he teaches these proud heads a lesson. ????

Having a mother and younger sister like that and he’s still wondering why the new year dinner was ruin? He need to man up and protect his wife and kids.
abbygrey
Of course, blame the one who brought the food YOU raised a fuss about in the first place because you’re selfish and greedy and didn’t want to share.
Old man Han, it may hurt to separate the families but you’re hurting more people if you don’t. HQS, whip all those people into shape and let those lazy, entitled ones fend for themselves. Family is family but leeches that sick you dry and abuse you? We don’t want them.

The mother & sister are horrible human being. As for the second brother he’s just lazy as hell and doesn’t want to work but still want benefits. As for the eldest brother if still can’t stand up and protect his family then I really hope his wife would divorce him.
abbygrey
I can understand the trauma the old lady has,. She was abused and exploited by her mother-in-law so she only thinks that she should do the same. But why can’t she think that she should treat them as she would have wanted to be treated? She must know that the same way she felt about her MIL is the exact same way her DIL will treat her. Smh

Sooo about jumping into river and suiciding talk… was just sarcasm to what original Lin Lan had done in the past… hmmm… just reminded of own family members do that like pointing some stuffs that any of family members did in the past. Is it nitpicking?

o.o I am thankful that my grandpa of my mom, adamant on schooling every of his children even though my grandma had wanted my mom who was the eldest to stop schooling to take care of her siblings and helped her around the house. A lot of villagers back then said the same thing and tried to reason to my grandpa. Laughing at his back for schooling his daughters far from home. Thankfully my mom became a teacher and her siblings became inspector, firefighter, bank staff, office worker and teacher.

I feel that Lin Lan is being very insensitive here.
See; remember what the previous Lin Lan was like. She and Mother-in-Law were birds of a feather in a lot of ways. Her husband wasn’t home, she was constantly demanding – Dawang had to grow up early, with that frustrating mix of neglect and being parentised. Things might be better now, but she still focuses on the other kids and let Dawang do his own thing for the most part. So this little ramble is exactly what I don’t like seeing here, because it again feels like she’s pushing the same expectations and distance on him, instead of letting him know he’s her son as well and she loves him. It’s something that the author has failed to let her realise is a problem.
At the end of the day, what I want to tell Dawang is “sometimes you are naughty, but you’re really a very, very good boy at heart and soon you will be a good man. None of the adults in your life have the right to take credit for how you’ve grown, but you should be proud of who you’ve chosen to become.”

disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
My guess: She drafted him away again?
disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
Dawang is going to explode. The world is not making sense and his parents are not helping him understand anything except that those in power beat those underneath them to force them to do whatever they want them to do.
Devi Shapfitri
Whoah This old Mrs. Han is practically the most hateful MIL in “back to ’60/’70/’80-ies” genre I’ve read so far. Even when they’re biased, greedy, selfish, and neglectful, the other “bad MIL” didn’t go as far as knowingly let an innocent bystander consume something that’s potentially poisonous/toxin. The elder SIL was even the Han most valuable labor force, you’d expect such greedy people like the old Han couple would value her more because of it. But, no. They obviously didn’t.
Devi Shapfitri
When you read the same routine with different perspectives…
Back then, this kind of situation would infuriate me to no end. Sometimes long ago, I’d rant. Sometimes not long ago, I’d feel so indignant that I refused to express any word. Less I’d speak ugly words. But now, I just want to be grateful that no one of my closely related people was as despicable as them. None of the elders I’ve known take advantage of their status as elders to act unruly and unreasonable. Or at least, God has distanced such circumstances from me.
disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
i didnt think that was hot at all, maybe just painful to the back and neck and unsanitary since she only wiped his back and not his chest
disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
I think she needs to say that he will benefit from schooling (higher income and prettier wife) in his future and she doesn’t want him to miss out on it
disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
She’s from the modern era, she needs to use her words
Devi Shapfitri
If the family had to eat such famine-speciality food just in remembrance and to learn more appreciating/being grateful of the current better food, I honestly don’t have problem with it. As long as the people who eat it has the right physical condition for it (they’re not sick like Xiaowang). Giving such indigestible food to malnourished people with weak stomach when they obviously can provide more suitable and healthier food just to spit on their (the malnourished people ‘s) attempt to heal themselves… Oh, this Old Mrs. Han is too ignorant, self-absorbed, and arrogant.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
She's just making sure everyone cuts her off and goes no contact.
Devi Shapfitri
Honestly, I’m not against the Old Mrs. Han to send her youngest children to school and I know that school expenses can be very expensive. But, things has to be done according to its own proportions. It’s true that a family has to work together to tide the waves of life. But, what she’s doing was elevating her youngest children by burying her other family members to be their stand hold; burning her other family members as fuel to make her youngest children seemed bright. It won’t teach good moral for the two pair of sister and brother. It only show how ignorant and immoral she was.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
And her children will grow to be ignorant and immoral as well, thinking that others are there to serve them and nothing more

It’s really good that the household registration was separated while HQS hadn’t had new job and his work point in the village was still zero (0). The greedy people would avoid him like a plague and they would be eager to cut tie with him.
I just hope HQS and LL can work together to stop those greedy and shameless people from stealing things from their little family in the future. I’ve heard of relatives who did exactly those things (although it’s the wife’s side who did those things, instead of the husband’s side): a wife who gave all of her husband’s wage and rations to her paternal family and she even let them be lazy and stole her in-laws’ harvest; all the while she herself and all of her children went hungry everyday that they had to work as servants, child labor, scavenging, and even went as far as ignorantly stole ritual offerings because the children were too hungry. Even if her children grew up pretty well without any grudge toward her and her family; they grew up hating their father and their father’s family instead; and few of them now realize their misplaced hatred toward their father and his family. But, that behaviors of her and her family are still something I can’t approve of.
Devi Shapfitri
I once searched (googled) for making your own soap from scratch. Then, I found out that there’s no way to avoid buying this one chemical solution, a readymade solution if you didn’t want to risk making contact with a dangerous process/chemical reaction.
Then, I asked my mother what the older generations in our country used as “soap”, “toothpaste” and “detergents” when there’s little to none supply of it. My mother said, it’s a mix of some plants juice and/or some kind of “clean clay”, depended on what they’re washing and the kind of dirt they’re trying to clean. The “clay” can actually absorb most of the dirt, grimes, and oil produced by human (It might be kind of like the clay mask works). And the plant extract helped it further to clean things and gave pleasant smell to it.
Devi Shapfitri
Whoah. Old Mrs. Han gave away 110 yuan on one visit to her youngest children and birth family. That’s almost half of the latest “wage” HQS sent home. Furthermore, she has been buying the best supplementary foods and money for the two siblings to buy luxury goods. It’s really no wonder they spent all the 6200 yuan.
I must say, the siblings has been spending more money than any average soldiers, white/blue collars, and factory workers could earn each months. Everyone who’s clear on market prices of the goods would easily it. They also don’t have outstanding or unique achievement/quality. If I were on charge for employment recruitment, I would also not dare to hire them.
Sekstifire
On the one hand she did definitely give Jinbao and Jinyu a lot of money.
On the other hand she gives other people as little as possible and we've seen her lie about how much money she has so many times.
The narrator might have confirmed that ~1500 was her entire stash earlier but I could see her having even more squirreled away somewhere.
disqus_u5tdHdhYsV
I feel Sangwang’s build up same as back in the Dawang arc
Devi Shapfitri
? Yeah, don’t listen to the actually most “useless and unfilial” eldest son. Just go “save” your most beloved fourth son from criminal charges by filling more criminal charge on him and all of his family. It surely will take him out of jail sooner. ???
Make up fake evidence of higher level of crime to punish anyone who offended/hurt you. And clean up any evidences of crime or bribe or coerce the authorities to save your beloveds from the consequences of their crimes/bad deeds. What a wonderful supportive unconditional love. ????

Rape cases are one of case types which are hard (complicated) to be proven in court and there’s also a (small?) number of rapist suspects who were actually slandered. Even when it’s actually rape, the defendant can still claim it’s a consensual “rape-play”. Or, when it’s actually just a consensual play, the victim can claim it’s rape. It’s easy for the court to make a “wrong” verdict. I heard, that’s one of the reasons that the verdict for rape can’t be more than a few years of jail time. ????

Aah… I don’t remember whether or not the Old Mrs. Han’s maternal family had ever given the Old Han’s family something as return for all the subsidies and money she gave them. I also doubt the Old Han family has the habit of exchanging some gifts for the Eldest Sister’s in-law.
So far, I only know that Old Mrs. Han and Eldest Sister Han just suck money and food up for themselves, sent it to their maternal family, and gave it to their most favorite person/people. IF they’re not in habit of exchanging gifts and returning favour (or having their maternal family pay back their favour/gifts), ofc they wouldn’t understand why LL was willing to sent gifts and has good relationship with her maternal family, Liu Xiuyun’s family, and Han Qingyun’s family.
Sekstifire
Ah this Eldest Aunt is Han Daman'er, Han Qingsong's eldest sister.
IIRC correctly her mom didn't favor her at all growing up but after OG Lin Lan married in it sorta upgraded her status? Like she went from being ignored by her maternal family to being able to come home and dunk on Lin Lan with her mom.
I don't think she received much/any of Han Qingsong's benefits though.
Fluke Remz

Devi Shapfitri
This whole “bf gf” fiasco would be a lot of embarrassments in the future. I just hope they wouldn’t meet someone who’s knew its real meaning and made a huge misunderstanding.
Devi Shapfitri
Whoa. The Old Mrs. Han’s reasoning for tormenting her family member (except for Jinyu and Jinbao) is really twisted. She felt that she’s (the most) suffered and miserable daughter in-law in the past. So, she can’t have a good life unless she ensures her family members (especially her daughters in-law) have bad life, push them to be suicidal, or into madness. It seems like it’s her revenge toward her late MIL, a misplaced revenge.

Oh right! There’s also the book’s FL who’s plotting against Maisui?
Thanks for the update ??.
Receive this Imperial Decree!
Well, the book's FL is YanYan and she seems pretty good. The problem is the weird transmigrator that wants to cling to her. She seems to be putting ideas into her head which might end up corrupting her. As we know, the FL must always be pure-hearted. Even if she's shrewd, she has to show a certain tenderness and the ability to nurture others or support them. YanYan is the 'good girl' sort who was written to be smart, capable, and upright. Someone more selfless and with no malicious thoughts. If she loses that, she might be deprived of her role.

Han Jinyu always think so highly of herself. By now she actually believes that she’s a princess or a daughter from a rich a family. And that her beauty is out of this world ?? she’s always reaching for something she obviously can’t reach and doesn’t have the power to.
MelayStuff
Impressive translation on that song!!

Ha ha ha You go Maisui! You’re growing up well young lady!

Every time I learn and see more about this dude the more SUS it feels. I vote to kick em off the spaceship yall
Ns7
Is not only that the guy is sus, but is also even more sus Masui getting a decent guy, because we know she doesn’t deserve it, so that’s why we know there is gotta have something wrong with him
JanyaCallisto
Sorry, did you mean Han Jinyu/Qingshan (ML’s sister)? Cuz Maisui is Fl’s daughter and she’s not looking for marriage atm.
Ns7
Yes, sorry i mixed their names up

Why do l feel that this guy only likes married women?? Maybe the married lady traumatized to only like women that are married?? Just guessing cause she mentioned that his eyes didn’t light up when he saw her, whereas when he saw Lin lan he became too nice, trying to please.

He was 14 when it happened so okay I don’t think it’s that bad. Typical boys behavior. And him changing for the better afterwards is good too. But I do have to admit that it is suspicious that he actually take a liking towards Han Jinyu who has the princess disease. I mean he’s from the county….there has to be girls that are better than her.

Sanwang is still annoying but Lin Lan should have nipped this in the bud.

To think Dawang just wanted to work in the fields and earn points and now he wants go go up a grade!
?? ?
I feel like that guy is just getting married for the sake of getting marry. As for Han Jinyu she just want live in county/city so she’s marrying him. From previous chapters it doesn’t seems like she’s head over heels for him. Either way….from my pov they just seem to both be using each other ??????????
MelayStuff
I just cannot get past how those two met and have come together… like you meed someone while in a prison reform camp and suddenly some guy decides to help an inmate took up their sister on the outside.
I feel like there must be something else to this. It smells so fishy I almost thought I was in an aquarium!
?? ?
Is Han Jinyu a hidden princess or something??? Both mother and daughter really think she’s some delicate rich girl.
?? ?
It’s very funny how old lady Han and Han Jinyu really thought that everyone in their family would accommodate her just because she’s getting marry. Both mother and daughter really do day dream.
?? ?
I’m surprised that guy parents actually like/approved of Han Jinyu. Or are they just that desperate to get their son marry???

Why is he eyeing the radio and keep insisting on Lin Lan to join???? ??

Dear protagonist don't forget you inherited the body of a woman who gave birth five times, and is recovering from poisoning, take it easy.

So to find a boyfriend I need to act normal? Damn it!

She's already falling for her youngest son lol

Well that was one way of correcting the daughter a little.

The grandma is delusional to think she can kick out the wife and kids and continue receiving her son's money.

I pray that if I ever have sons I can love their wives like my own daughters, I refuse to become a mother-in-law like this

Every chapter that passes I'm more convinced that the ML is autistic.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
The grandma has a mindset that is very prevalent among women in my culture that I absolutely hate, wanting to perpetuate toxicity because now it's their turn in a position of power, they suffer as daughter-in-laws but when they become mother-in-laws they become the same as the ones they compliance about.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Grandma is such a narcissist, she only wants to be around people she can control or who flatter her.

I really hope Han Qinghua really did grown up and become mature and that all this isn’t some sort of act he’s putting on.

I like that these main characters aren't perfect at all, and they don't always say and do exactly the right thing.

Now we know how they ended up with five kids even if he was gone 90% of the time.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Just forget the money already!!!
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Just realized the husband traits his mother like people advise others to deal with their narcissistic parents, give the least amount of info and reaction, I wonder if he grew up the way he is because of such a mother, or that he was simply born to deal with crazy people.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Dear readers take note of grandma's behavior, is a surefire way of being abandoned. If the protagonist is a shrew, this woman is definitely a hag.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Imagine having to spy on people just to eat a decent meal when your side of the family is the one that brought in funds to hold the family up until this point. Even if we have in mind that they aren't bringing money anymore they still did most of the earning for over ten years, there's no way the house and family would be as it is if they didn't.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
I'm keeping my hopes low, this author seems to like to build things up before they happen.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
My own country had a brief affair with communism during it's civil War, it was even worse than it is in this story, my grandma went through all sort of hardships to help raise her younger siblings and then her own children, who she had to care for on her own after divorcing her abusive husband, and not even once had she tried to use her hardships to get people to obey her, the grandma in this story has no excuse to act the way she does… I should call my grandma.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
If you want a good reputation than act like a good person!

This kids have more domestic skills than most adults nowadays XD
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
As much as I disagree with a lot of cultural things in the past, whenever I'm reading a novel like this I find it irresponsible that the protagonist try to instill modern ideas to people around them, a little here and there in a discreet manner is fine, but flat out saying things can get her and the people she's talking to in trouble.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
The oldest brother seems like a trash husband, it was mentioned in a past cheaper that him and his wife don't live as a couple anymore, and his wife doesn't seem to think very highly of him, to top that off he is surprised that his brother protected his wife, like is he supposed to stand acide while the second brother berates her? Is this what fulfilling husbandly duties sound like to him?
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Also, people, even nowadays, need to put in their thick skulls that a married man's priorities are his wife and children, everyone else comes after, when women talk about their sons forgetting them after getting married it makes my skin crawl.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
For a second I hoped the sister would be reasonable, that was shattered in so many ways.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
XiaoWang is making me understand why so many mothers prefer the youngest, while his brothers are bringing all sort of annoyances and trouble he remains cute and loving.

Liu Jie Jie are our first female friend?

Another pair of twins… The protagonist needs to be careful not to get pregnant, families with twins are likely to have even more twins XD. On another note, the sister doesn't sound that bad.

He's cute, but kinda wrong, is good to be selfless towards your family, but no one can carry the world on his own.

"Old Lady Han began to scold them, “I asked your second brother to deliver the letter on the day of the separation, but why didn’t you go back? If you were at home, how could they still be so sly?”"
Ma'am… What do you think two spoiled teenagers would do in that situation?

I hope she had an opportunity to move out of this village, there are some nice people but being far from her in-laws is better that being near the nice neighbors.

LL and HQS have been married for more than 11 years, get over it already.

Lol not HQY thinking it was LL who beat the guys.

Most novels and dramas focus on how cunning and shallow rich people are, this novel is a reminder that poor people aren't better, it's the same vices on a different setting.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
This man asks no questions, he sees his brothers bike on his house and knows for sure that they wouldn't give it willingly but he just keeps his thoughts to himself, probably assumed she had a good reason and safe method.

I love she now sees the kids as hers and HQS as someone who they can rely on.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Older brother just give up your rights as the oldest and split up, your parents are too broke and stupid to leave you anything anyway.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Lol, be careful, let's keep the number of kids five for now XD
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
They are behaving because dad is home, even the nicest father is scary to his children XD
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
He has four sons, a bigger house is a necessity because his kids are unlikely to move out in the first years if their marriage, give it 10 to 15 years and there's a possibilidade of their 7 person household to become a 11 person household, that is if they don't have any more kids, a bigger house is 100% something they should be working towards.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
This reminds me of when my dad's job used to give him and his co-workers lunchboxes, my dad wouldn't eat anything and would just bring it home.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Plot twist incoming!!!

These old geezers, it's three to five years, not a lifetime, do they prefer these kids continue acting as they want end eventually end up at the death row?
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
This is how corruption starts, I don't doubt the protagonists won't be swayed, but other people wouldn't, they would start being arrogant and they would try to continue feeding the flattery by accepting bribes and stuff for favours.

I hope the oldest brother and his family also split and go their own way, they would definitely do better without all the dead weight.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
Jinyu is saying this right now but I want to see her after she gets married, if someone would marry such a lazy girl with poor background, let's see if she would like to be an outsider for her own husband and have her children treated as second class citizens.

No separate rooms Lin Lan, that would only make things worse.

Old lady Han should be watching and taking notes, you don't need to harass and manipulate the younger generation to get them to take care of you.

Part of me hopes he comes out of this a better person, the other part has a suspicion that he'll die trying to excape.
Eff me gently with a chainsaw
If it where in modern times I would understand their desire to excape, but, if this story is accurate, those prisoners aren't living that differently from the rest of the rural folks, and their sentences are just five years, given that none of them is married I assume they are seventeen at best, so they'll still be young after coming out, these boys are so spoiled and evil… At least skinny and shorty seem to be doing fine, hopefully they'll come out better people.

Love the wholesome moments, is a potty that idiot, or his mother, is on his way to ruin everything.

Ya know, the word 'peace of mind' doesn't exist in this novel's world. Like, if given a choice between a life full of miserry living with those pieces of shts for their family's 'reputation', vs getting a divorce/separation and living through that gossip from neighbors (that will eventually stop like with what happened to that Liu girl), but you'll be able to live your lives more freely, eat your fill, not get bullied and abused every single fricking time of the day by your shtty in laws. Most of the people here would still choose the first option. >.> I wonder why homicide doesn't happen more often in this world. Cause if I were there, surrounded by those kinds of people, I wouldn't be able to control myself. I'd rather face a firing squad than live a life with them like that.

Shame culture vs guilt culture. Living miserably but maintaining your reputation in the eyes of outsiders is more important than living well but ignominiously. Even LL justified her behavior by saying it was easier since her reputation was already trashed so she might as well do as she wanted.

Same here. I think it’s their manner of speech. The author (and translator) really captured that suspicious manner of speaking perfectly.

Dawang was 'unhinged'. After all, when he was at home, even if Sanwang was howling right outside the room, he could still continue answering the practice questions and read his textbooks. In comparison, this wasn’t pressuring him in the slightest.
maybe instead of 'unhinged', the more suitable word would be 'unfazed' or 'unbothered'?

Well, it's looking bad for the first family. If the son divorces, he's unlikely to be married again and it's even more unlikely for his kids to recognize him. On the other hand, if he goes, he'll need to grow up and stop caring about what people say about him. My grandmother comes from a village much like the one described here, and she always told me that "no matter what you do, people will always find something to talk about and criticize." It's the nature of such a small community. There's also a saying that goes some thing like this: "Small Town, Big Hell."

What was Lin Mei even thinking? That her husband was good enough because she could have full command of her household once his parents died and that he wouldn't dare go against her?

In fact, you could say that he has too much time on his hands and that because he's pretty and not the rough sort, he could attract a lot of attention.

If he was strangled to death, wouldn't it leave a mark on his neck? They can just check the body. They haven't burried him yet, right?

This fourth brother still creeps me out and I don’t know why. Like he talks too much and tries too hard?
Made
Did this fool join a cult or something?
Made
Hahaha. Our very own Director Han.

I like to think the original Lin Lan replaced our protagonist in the modern era instead of dying.
mamabug
Same. I like to think she is happy getting to live a single, career woman life after basically being married off at 16 to an emotional blockhead with an abusive mother.

omg is it weird that im happy i don't have to read the american spelling of mum??
eseru
What if this is just a ploy to kidnap the bride and sell her off? :V
mamabug
Who would bother? The bicycle is likely worth more than her.
Receive this Imperial Decree!
I can't help but agree with this statement. She's not much of anything, nor is she that pretty, and this was before the one-child policy created the current disparity…so there were enough females to be married off and likely less trafficking.
eseru
Lmao. What a fool.
eseru
Oh no, I caught up ??? not this cliff hanger.

Thank you very much for the chapter!

When they all go on to eventually be successful, every kid now watching them will be forcing their own children to do morning exercises.
mamabug
Predicting in now – Dawang is going into the military or police force (or both), Erwang will be a famous chef, Masui a fashion designer, Sanwang an Olympic swimmer, and Xiowang a musician
mamabug
Oh, yeah, because a 1970s sewing machine is so easy to operate.
Maybe she can trade use of it to someone Who knows what they are doing in exchange for 'helping' with her sewing needs
mamabug
I'm now in the 'free the first SIL' club.
mamabug
I was just thinking that Dawang would be the one to figure it all out. Definitely a future cop – he even knows who will squeal.

This is the family where the wife hide when Lin Lan visited right?
Gisele Alves
Yes
?? ?
I want to see how long this sister-in-law is planning on hiding for ?????
mamabug
Oh, yeah – that's not sus at all.

Chapter 890 ?
?? ?
Not Sanwang trying to convince Xiaowang to shave his head too ??
Kasaix
Sanwang has the mentality of if I am going down you are going down with me! Though only in small matters. Remember he tried to convinve Xiaowang was adopted as well when he thought he himself was adopted
eseru
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I JUST SO FRICKIN LOVE THESE KIDS ???
eseru
Sanwang really is the light (bulb) of the party ???
JanyaCallisto
Thank you for the chapter. Keep up the good work! Jiayo! ????
I gotta say Xiao Qiaoqiao is pretty cute. That aside Erwang is my favorite character so far.
JanyaCallisto
I wonder what happened to Han Jinyu. She definitely hurried home that night, not to mention she didn't even reach her in-laws house. So where could she be all this time?
?? ?
I been wondering the same thing too. Whatever happened to the both of them was completely skipped over. I think it just mentioned that husband of hers coming back home and that was it.
?? ?
Honestly I only half pity eldest brother Han ????? I just feel that as a husband and a father he failed his wife and kids. I understand him wanting to care for his parents. But my god does he really not see how horrible his mom treats his wife and kids?
Kasaix
After getting drunk and thinking that he had become a fool Sanwang just gave up. He already became a fool anyway what's there to lose for a man with nothing left to lose.
Kasaix
Something tells me among the kids Dawang will be an overbearing CEO or a general in the army. There is no in between for this kid.
Kasaix
Is that little shrew trying to turn our white lotus Yanyan into a green tea?
Kasaix
Is he pitching a tent?
Kasaix
There is something up with the 4th. First he introduces them and then he says there is something wrong with him…
Kasaix
You know I don't think this is a bad style of parenting if you trust in your partner. Though the caveat is the mom is trully willing to dedicate herself to all aspect of their children's education as let's be honest parenting is a two man's job.
Kasaix
She is definitely a transmigrator
Kasaix
No effing way, that has to be an exaggeration. Otherwise I am sorry but that man needs to be gunned down. Let alone doing it with a minor, his own family!? Even alabama would not claim him
?? ?
Honestly the mom should let Lin Lan teach this Tang Hehua a lesson or two ??????????
?? ?
Oh she didn’t come for you but now you present yourself to her….good luck Tang Hehua! How can a nephew compare to her own kids. So ridiculous!
Kasaix
Oh they are touching the tigress' cubs. They ARE dead.
?? ?
Idiot! ?? she comes looking for trouble herself.
Flowingfog
Can't stand Jinyu but I hate him more.
JanyaCallisto
I like the way Lin Mei's husband acknowledge eating soft rice. ? He has the correct attitude of a freeloader.
JanyaCallisto
Old lady gonna cry if her children no longer want to communicate with her cuz of her behavior. I get that she's trying to keep peace when in-laws but there should be a limit to it. It'll just make them more unreasonable if she keeps letting them get away with everything they did wrong. Because they never get blamed so they'll believe they're never wrong. In the end, old lady would have herself to blame.

I didn’t like her
Kotankoran
Honestly, this kind of kid is annoying
Kotankoran
Why I am crying
Sekstifire
It'd be hilarious is she got replaced too lol
Sekstifire
What a coincidence that Old Man Han's righteous and selfless moral philosophy looks exactly like being a lazy enabler ??_??
Sekstifire
Oh I get it. Everyone saw her get 100 yuan so she has to spend it before her maternal family shows up.
Sekstifire
Jeez you'd have to be good at holding numbers your head for stuff like this.
I want around 3000 yuan so I'll get 1200 yuan from the closet and then ask for 3000 yuan and let them talk me down to 1500 yuan and get
300250 in items plus 80 yuan so now I need 1170 yuan…Sekstifire
Before I figured Lin Lan spent a bunch to avoid giving it to her maternal family.
Now I figure it's because of the way things work in general.
Everyone's constantly bartering and negotiating so if you want to come out ahead you need some kind of strat. Right now Lin Lan's unlocked strats are:
1. Being a shrew
2. Knowing party slogans
3. Claiming to have zero money
The third one is definitely the most versatile but Lin Lan can't use it if people knowshe has x money.
Therefore her best bet is to immediately spend enough money that she can convincingly say she spent all of it.
Han family knows she got Han Qingsong's 260 yuan salary -> It's gone I spent all of it on Xiaowang's hospital fees
Village knows she has 100 yuan -> It's gone I bought a bunch of stuff
It's like reverse money laundering.
Sekstifire
Because you go with out telling anyone and you don't come back ever ?
Sekstifire
So wait, is what Lin Lan found just receipts and not money?
Sekstifire
Oh wow. I totally thought she'd still have at least 100 yuan somewhere.
Sekstifire
Oho, he's flat out lying to her now huh ?
Sekstifire
Han Qingyun and Han Qingsong are probably nth cousins or something.
Sekstifire
On the one hand Lin Lan doesn't want to end up with a bunch of fair weather friends.
On the other OG Lin Lan was pretty awful so there are probably reasonable people who wouldn't hang out with her before because of that.
Sekstifire
Is it just me or is it kinda awkward to sandwich Lin Lan letting Han Qingsong do her work between her telling Dawang to go to school and dunking on Han Jinyu for not wanting to work?
Sekstifire
“I work to earn work points for myself, what does it have to do with you?” Lin Lan cut her off.
You don't?
Sekstifire
I guess if the other Hans have one "virtue" it's that they have bad synergy and aren't coordinated enough to leech benefits effectively.
Well I guess it's mainly that everyone's so pissed off that it overrides Old Man Han's, "I'm just a clueless old man who wants his family to get along ?" style manipulation.
Sekstifire
I've been sorta wondering about the army, like we've heard a lot about soldiers being demobilized but not about them dying. Were they not fighting a war?
Sekstifire
I've been wondering for a bit but who tf is the Brigade Leader? Like I have it down in my notes that there are three main important dudes in the village: the Secretary Head (Han Yongfan,) the Village Captain, and the Brigade Leader. And now he's shown up a few times but we still don't know his actual name.
Side note, I keep wondering whether your average modern Chinese person would actually recognize and understand the relationship between all these titles. Cuz the author doesn't usually explain them and often just throws titles out instead of names.
Sekstifire
Coming from countries where a lot of rural areas end up deserted because people move to the city it's interesting to see the effects of policies that MAKE people stay in or go to rural areas.
Seems like it still goes badly because a bunch of people try to skate around those policies to go to/stay in cities, especially people with wealth/talent/political power.
Sekstifire
OOOOH, "Eldest Aunt Han" is Han Daman'er. I thought it was Eldest SIL and was confused why things were so hostile
Sekstifire
Don't get why she keeps bringing out food when this lady's still here. I wouldn't want to have to guard against her grabbing stuff.

what does old lady han want to happen with Jinyu? knowing full well that she'll be maried off to someone, she's setting her up to be abused by her to be mother-in-law if she's useless in house chores. she wants her daughter in laws to be her slaves thatbshe does not even think of Jinyu's future. is she expecting that future mother in law to be saint and not do what she does to her daughter in laws?

I feel bad for the eldest brother. He's dutiful enough to sacrifice his long-term interests for his parents and this is how they repay him. He's too soft-hearted and doesn't know how to distance between himself from his ungrateful relatives. I can totally understand that. It's not an easy thing to do even if it's likely for the best.

This old couple is so embarrassing.

I actually like Zheng Yaozu ? he himself knows he’s not the best/ideal husband and father but at least he’s tried and isn’t a scumbag. At least now he’s helping out his wife. And honestly compared to other husbands that abused and treat their wife horribly. He’s actually considered very good already. And I think he’s funny too lol always on the side helping stir the pot.
?? ?
If the second brother had some accomplishments in his life and is actually talented or whatever then okay I can sorta understand the parent being bias towards him. But dude the guy is a grown man and is crying at a drop of the hat and doesn’t even know right from wrong. He’s nothing but a disappointment!
