One moment she was time-traveling, the next, Zhang Xiaoying, a lifelong singleton, skipped right over marriage and childbirth to joyfully become an amazing old lady. She started with nothing but four walls and was gifted three sons and a daughter, each more infuriating than the last. What could she do? She rolled up her sleeves and started whipping them into shape. Not listening? A fist is the best argument, and good behavior comes from the stick’s end. As days got better, the family realized that more and more officials and noblemen were visiting the old lady, wanting to take her away for retirement! No way, it’s only right for sons to support their mother in her old age. Even the Emperor has to get in line! The Emperor: “The teacher is mine; whoever dares compete with me for the privilege of caring for her in her old age, I shall decimate their nine relatives!” Zhang Xiaoying: “Scared, so scared. This pile of pampering can go to whoever wants it; all I want to do is retire quietly.” [Strong female lead, no romantic plot] Recommended completed wen: Farming novels "The Manly Wife of the Prime Minister's House" and "The Little Evil Girl of the Farmstead," campus wen "The Nation's Goddess is Super Cool" "The Reborn Rich Girl is a Top Student" and "The Little Cutie is Somewhat Arrogant"
Zhang Xiaoying awoke and immediately went from being a fetus to a top-notch mother-in-law.
She was gifted three sons, each one more eccentric than the last, all utterly exasperating, one of whom even had his leg broken over gambling debts.
With a house that was empty of everything but trouble, she couldn't escape her hellish start. Zhang Xiaoying toughened up her fists. The only way she could produce filial sons was to turn rubbish into treasure under the hard knocks of her staff.
All of this began when Zhang Xiaoying unexpectedly traveled through time.
