Leaving the Nest at Twilight

Her husband betrayed her and her children took his side. Zhang Yuyan had spent half her life keeping that household running, and in her last years there was nobody with her. She wakes up again at an earlier point in the same life, before the worst of it. This time she does not hold on to the marriage, and the giving without limit stops. The housework goes back to the people who live in the house. She takes up things she used to like and spends real time on them, and treats an ordinary day as worth something. Her family comes to find her, wanting the same work and the same money as before, and some of them tell her they regret how they treated her. She sets a line with them and will not move off it.
