Rebirth in the 70s: Emptying the Scum Dad’s Assets and Heading to the Countryside

Su Jiaojiao spent her final days as a destitute beggar, having been betrayed and ruined by her father Shen Jianguo, her stepmother Liu Dongmei, and her stepsister Shen Qingyu. In her previous life, these three had stolen the Su family's immense wealth, which originally belonged to her mother, and used a magical jade pendant with a spatial dimension to smuggle antiques and cash out of the country to Hong Kong. They then abandoned Su Jiaojiao to die in a gutter after she discovered their betrayal. Upon waking, Su Jiaojiao finds herself reborn thirty years in the past, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, the day her mother's will allows her to access the family fortune. Armed with memories of the future and a renewed sense of vengeance, she resolves to reclaim her birthright and punish her enemies.

Her first act of defiance is rejecting the subservient role she played in her past life. When Liu Dongmei attempts to manipulate her with false kindness, Su Jiaojiao coldly demands equal treatment and five hundred yuan for her birthday, exposing the stepmother's favoritism toward Shen Qingyu. She also reclaims the Mutton Fat Jade Pendant, which she discovers is the very artifact that grants spatial storage abilities. By testing the pendant with her own blood, she activates the space, allowing her to store and retrieve items at will. This discovery gives her a significant advantage, as she now possesses the same tool her enemies used to steal her family's legacy. She begins to systematically gather resources, purchasing ration coupons and other necessities while maintaining a facade of naivety to keep her enemies off guard.

The conflict escalates when Su Jiaojiao encounters Shen Qingyu and her suitor, Song Xiangdong, at a restaurant. Shen Qingyu attempts to humiliate Su Jiaojiao by claiming she is an adopted daughter, but Su Jiaojiao publicly reveals the truth: Shen Jianguo is merely a live-in son-in-law, and she is the legitimate heir to the Su family name and fortune. This revelation shocks the onlookers and damages Shen Qingyu's social standing. An elder friend of her grandfather, Old Master Luo, recognizes Su Jiaojiao and is outraged by the mistreatment she has endured, vowing to support her. Su Jiaojiao invites him to her birthday celebration, setting the stage for a public confrontation.

Unaware that Su Jiaojiao has overheard their secret plans, the Shen family believes their scheme is proceeding perfectly. They have registered Su Jiaojiao for the Educated Youth Down to the Countryside program, intending to send her to a remote village where she can be sold and disappear, allowing them to flee to Hong Kong with her money. They trick her into signing a power of attorney, believing she is handing over control of her assets. However, Su Jiaojiao plays along, pretending to be the same gullible girl she was before. She agrees to the arrangement, knowing that her enemies are walking into a trap. She also arranges to swap her destination with Shen Qingyu, ensuring that her stepsister will be the one sent to the harsh countryside instead.

As the birthday celebration approaches, Su Jiaojiao prepares to expose her father's crimes and reclaim her wealth. She plans to use the gathering to reveal the truth about the live-in son-in-law status and the misappropriation of her mother's legacy. With the support of Old Master Luo and the public witness, she intends to strip Shen Jianguo of his position and dignity. Meanwhile, she continues to cultivate her relationship with her childhood fiancé, Lu Yuanchao, from Lu Family Village, seeing him as a potential ally and partner in her new life. The story follows her strategic maneuvers as she turns the tables on her betrayers, using their greed and arrogance against them to secure her future and deliver justice for her mother.
