[Era setting + female lead is sophisticated and selfish + her whole family is awful + she pretends to be weak while actually being cunning + everyone is extremely shrewd + both are virgins + she later joins the army and travels with them]
Having just transmigrated, Zhao Qianqian offended her stepsister, who stole her fiancé! And this was all within a book; the man she stole was the female lead's money-grubbing third male supporting character, soon to face the reborn female lead's machinations. Then she discovered how pitiful her mother was. To marry an old man, she had signed a humiliating contract stipulating that her three children, whom she had brought with her, would not inherit any property or the house, and that she would have to serve the old man and his four stepchildren every day without pay.
But you, a widow ten years younger than your stepfather, married into this family just so that someone would raise your three children for you?
Why are you even paying me back?!
Later, she gradually realized that something was wrong.
Although her mother did not ask for any inheritance for her children, she demanded that her stepfather treat them the same as his own children in terms of food, clothing, and shelter, even better than his own children.
Moreover, all the money and work points earned by her stepfather's four children had to be handed over, but the three children she brought with her could keep them for themselves.
As long as there's no money to build a new house, the two sons who are burdened with debt can continue to live at home, which is equivalent to having two rooms.
Although the savings book was in her stepfather's hands, he would give her mother thirty yuan a month for living expenses.
In this era of earning work points, grain was distributed by the production brigade, and vegetables were grown by the family. So even a family of more than ten people didn't spend much money and could earn a net profit of more than ten yuan per month.
If a mother can turn a bad hand into a winning one, then her daughter, who is also a scheming womanizer, can't back down either. She should dominate the female lead and make sure she can spend her own man's money!
