University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"You're useless, your daughter-in-law controls you like a ton of bricks. Who does she think she is? A widow, unemployed, raising two children, living in your house, and you still have to support her?" Auntie was getting impatient with her sister's lack of ambition.
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense, you don't understand!" Grandma Hanhan winked and blinked, pacing anxiously.
"I'll teach you a lesson today." Second Aunt sized up Qin Xiaoyu. Her small frame was far inferior to Tang Hu's mother's. She and Third Aunt together easily won.
"Second Sister, no!" Grandma Hanhan was truly terrified. If Qin Xiaoyu were to be hurt, those people would eat her alive. Qi Si would be the first to give her a good stab.
Grandma Hanhan came over, trembling, to break up the fight, while Qin Xiaoyu stood frozen in place.
Auntie shoved Grandma Hanhan aside and lunged at Qin Xiaoyu.
Before Qin Xiaoyu could make a move, Hanhan's grandfather rushed forward, grabbed his second aunt, and swung her away.
He couldn't control the civil war, but he understood the bigger picture and had to protect Qin Xiaoyu; otherwise, he would be heartless.
My second aunt lost her footing and stumbled a few steps, stepping on a fish. She slid down and fell flat on her back.
Tang Hu's mother had recovered and, seeing the opportunity, pounced on her, straddling her and scratching her head and face.
Seeing that things were going badly, Auntie went over to help, and the three women rolled around on the ground and started fighting.
Tang Long, still half asleep, came downstairs. He was stunned at first, but quickly understood what was happening. He went up and kicked the two women who were hitting Tang Hu's mother aside, rescuing her.
Tang Hu's mother huddled behind Tang Long, trembling uncontrollably; she was a terrible sight to behold.
"Who are these people? There are no good people in the Tang family!" Auntie was furious after being wronged.
Grandma Hanhan tried to slip away, but Grandpa Hanhan stopped her and slapped her twice.
"You're just being difficult, you old hag! You're living a good life, why are you causing trouble? Get out!" Grandpa Hanhan grabbed Grandma Hanhan and started to walk out.
"You...you've rebelled!" Seeing that things were not going well, and being outnumbered and outmatched, the second and third aunts wanted to run away first.
"Don't go," Qin Xiaoyu said coldly.
"Don't think we're all alone. You just wait!" Auntie was trying to go home to get reinforcements. Qin Xiaoyu was right.
"Don't go yet, let me finish what I have to say. Dad, let her go first, let her listen too." Qin Xiaoyu walked up to her second aunt.
"What do you have to say?" Auntie said confidently.
“Come on, let me tell you. This house, this entire place, every bowl and chopstick here, I bought it all. You can ask her who built this house, who let her in. I don’t know what she told you, but I can only tell you now. You can both get out of here. My family doesn’t keep traitors.”
"Little Fish, I was wrong, I was wrong! Please forgive me this time! They caused all this trouble themselves, it has nothing to do with me!" Grandma Hanhan knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Look at you, you deserve to be bullied. This young widow doesn't even bother to think before she brags. You built this house? What makes you think you can build such a big house?" Auntie Er and Auntie San had such limited vision, they couldn't believe that Qin Xiaoyu had the money to build such a big villa.
"Whether I'm capable or not, you don't need to tell me. It's just that this house doesn't welcome you. Go back and tell your families that if anyone dares to set foot here again, I'll kick them out!"
The door was kicked open with a bang, and Qi Si walked in.
"What? I was only gone for half a day and something happened?"
Although Qi Si had cleared his name, he still exuded an aura of authority. Seeing the man's unfriendly expression, Second Aunt already cowered.
"You're bullying people because you have more people, aren't you?" they said as they backed towards the door.
"You come and go as you please? What do you think this place is?" Qi Si saw her about to open the door and kicked it shut.
My second aunt screamed in fright and almost peed herself, but my third aunt was strong enough to hold her up tightly.
"Brother, tell them to get out!" Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to give Grandma Hanhan any face today. If she didn't get to her senses, there would be no peace in this family.
"Little fish, I'd rather die than leave, go ahead and kill me!" Grandma Hanhan resorted to her shameless tactics.
"Look what you've done to this family! How dare you even stay here?" Grandpa Hanhan stamped his foot in anguish.
"I didn't say anything, she did it all. She wouldn't listen to my advice!" Grandma Hanhan grabbed the scapegoat, Auntie Er, and passed the buck to her.
"Hey, sis, you can't just go back on your word. What did you tell me?" Auntie Er got anxious when she heard this.
"What did I say? Stop talking nonsense! Go now, hurry up!" Grandma Hanhan got up and kept pushing her second aunt out.
"Let go! Let's get this straight today!" Second Aunt's son was no pushover; he shoved Grandma Hanhan aside and took a step forward.
"She told me that she was being bullied by her eldest daughter-in-law at home. She said her eldest daughter-in-law poured water into her soybean oil and spilled oil on her bed sheets. She asked me to help her vent her anger." As Auntie said this, Grandma Hanhan was so anxious that she almost knelt down to her.
"What else? You're not going to say she built this house, are you?"
"She said the house belonged to the Tang family, and that the Tang family had left a lot of money from their ancestors, enough for her to live on for the rest of her life, so that she could live a good life without having to rely on anyone else. She never said that you built the house. If I were to tell a lie, may I be struck by lightning!" Auntie swore to the heavens.
"Alright, now you understand, right? Go back and tell your family that I built the house. She didn't want a good life, and now the family is in turmoil. I can't tolerate her anymore. Dad, what do you say we do?" Qin Xiaoyu handed the decision-making power over to Hanhan's grandfather.
"Let her go, give her some money, just let her leave our sight!" Grandpa Hanhan was also disheartened.
"Little Fish! You can't! For Wenwen's sake, what will you do if she comes back and asks you for your mother? If you really kick me out, I'll throw myself into the river as soon as I step out the door!"
In her haste, Grandma Hanhan pulled out her talisman. She knew that talking to Grandpa Hanhan was useless; it was just for show. So she asked Qin Xiaoyu to hold onto her leg and not let go.
Qin Xiaoyu felt a surge of nausea; she felt disgusted. How could someone be so shameless?
"Don't embarrass yourself! You're going to break Wenwen's heart! What did she do to deserve a mother like you!" Hearing Grandma Hanhan mention her daughter, Grandpa Hanhan was helpless and couldn't help but shed tears.
He used to pull Grandma Hanhan away so that Qin Xiaoyu could escape.
My second and third aunts finally showed signs of life, tumbling and crawling out of the house, running faster than rabbits.
Qin Xiaoyu walked towards the door, and took Qi Si with her.
Qi Si was still angry, but he never hit women, so there was really nothing he could do. Qin Xiaoyu dragged him along with all her might, and he had no choice but to follow.
"Girl, I really feel sorry for you."
