On her wedding night, Mingmei had a dream.
She dreamed of a "Book of Life".
And the protagonist of this book was her mother-in-law, who would bump her head and faint the next morning, only to wake up reborn.
Apparently, her mother-in-law had returned from fifty years in the future. She had witnessed the changes of the era and experienced social development. With this rebirth, she intended to ride the wave of the times, work hard, and lead the whole family towards glory. (Take this with a grain of salt)
Of course,
Along the way, she planned to reform the little troublemakers in the family, deal with the big troublemakers in the courtyard house, and let them feel the iron fist of justice as a side task. (This part is true)
Mingmei, the young daughter-in-law who had vaguely heard herself described as "a lazy, gluttonous, good-for-nothing", bit her blanket and whimpered.
What should she do?
Bang!
A sound came from the outer room.
Mingmei: Here it comes! Her mother-in-law has been reborn!
