Transmigrated as a 'Troublemaker Sister-in-Law' in the 80s: Making Trouble and Money

Modern office worker Su Xiao accidentally transmigrates into the 1980s while working overtime, becoming Su Cuilan—the village's most hated 'troublemaker sister-in-law' who had been stirring up family splits and stealing from her brother and sister-in-law. Right after transmigration, Su Xiao faces cold shoulders from relatives and gossip from neighbors. But she turns the 'troublemaker' label into her advantage: she first 'throws a fit' to sell vegetables in the county town for her first pot of gold, then uses 'unreasonable tactics' to retrieve her brother's unpaid wages, and even transforms the village's abandoned ancestral hall into a small department store. As the 'troublemaker' becomes her golden finger for counterattack, Su Xiao not only revives her family's fortunes but also attracts Tan Zhenhao, a cold-faced officer just back from military service—he claims to find her 'too noisy' yet always shows up when she's bullied by thugs and secretly gives her money when she's short on funds. While hustling for money and clashing with the abstinent officer, Su Xiao realizes that life as a troublemaker sister-in-law in the 80s is a hundred times more satisfying than being a modern corporate slave!
