Chapter 2: Rebirth

Wu Zhiqiu looked at the setting sun outside and the few young faces in the room, her expression dazed.

Was this the underworld helping her recall the past? Did everyone have this kind of experience after death?

“Mom! Say something!” The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Yue, looked at her with anticipation.

“What should I say?” Wu Zhiqiu asked subconsciously.

The eldest daughter-in-law rolled her eyes secretly, how could she be senile already? But today, no matter what, she had to settle the matter of money.

“Mom, Xingguo finally has a chance to go abroad, we can’t miss this opportunity, as long as he goes abroad to study, when he comes back, he can at least be a deputy director, even a director is not impossible!” Wang Yue’s face was uncontrollably excited.

Wu Zhiqiu crossed her hands in her sleeves and pinched herself hard.

Sss~ It really hurt! It hurt so much that her tears almost fell.

But in the eyes of others, she was excited that her son was going abroad!

The third son saw his mother like this and immediately became anxious, “Mom! You promised to give my girlfriend your job, without the job, He Meina’s family won’t agree to marry her to me!”

“Third brother, your girlfriend’s job, how can it be as important as your big brother going abroad! As long as your big brother goes abroad, our family will completely change our status, in the future, you can find any kind of girlfriend you want!”

Wang Yue appeased her brother-in-law while painting a rosy picture for him.

The third son was as smart as a monkey, how could he listen to her nonsense?

“Sister-in-law, Big brother will be gone for three or four years, right? You want me to be a bachelor for five or six years? By then, I’ll be over thirty, what kind of unmarried girl would want a thirty-year-old bachelor?”

Wang Yue…

Wang Yue saw that her brother-in-law was so obsessed with love, she knew she couldn’t reason with him, as long as she could convince the old man and the old lady, it wouldn’t matter what her brother-in-law did!

“Dad, Mom, this is a rare opportunity, our family should prioritize Xingguo’s career!”

The old man, Li Mancang, nodded, compared to the third son’s girlfriend, it was indeed more important for the eldest son to go abroad, now that it was just opening up, as long as he went abroad to study for a few years, his future prospects would be limitless upon his return!

Wang Yue saw her father-in-law nod, her lips curled up slightly! Who could be more important than the eldest son’s future?

“Dad, you can’t just care about my big brother, and ignore my life or death!” The third son stood up, his face flushed with anger.

“Who’s ignoring your life or death, aren’t we trying to find a way?” Li Mancang glared at his third son, he had no sense of the big picture, his girlfriend was not as important as his eldest brother’s career, if the eldest son could go abroad, the Li family’s ancestral grave would be smoking!

Even if he died, he could brag to his ancestors in the underworld!

“Mom~” The third son dragged out his voice, calling Wu Zhiqiu back to her senses.

Wu Zhiqiu was sure that she wasn’t in the underworld, nor was she recalling the past, she seemed to have been reborn.

Reborn to the time before she sold her job to the eldest son to raise money for him to go abroad.

Looking at the second son and his wife who were silent, the little daughter who was reading in the corner, the third son who was like a fighting cock,

The eldest son and his wife who were determined to get what they wanted.

It was so damn frustrating! She had finally died and escaped from this family, how did she end up back in this frustrating time!

“Mom~ Mom~ Say something! Meina is waiting for your job!” The third son shouted anxiously.

Wu Zhiqiu’s half-hearted feelings were immediately replaced by a focus on the third son after this ghostly cry.

“What are you waiting for my job for? If you can marry a wife, then marry, if you can’t, then be a bachelor! Don’t covet my job!”

Wu Zhiqiu worked at a scrap metal recycling station, although her salary wasn’t high, it was very leisurely, she only worked half a day, it didn’t interfere with taking care of the family at all.

Friendly reminder: If you can’t find the book by searching for the title, try searching for the author, maybe it’s just been renamed!

The third son looked incredulous, unable to believe what his mother had just said.

Besides the eldest son and his wife, no one else could believe that Mom would say such a thing. Didn’t she love her third son the most?

How could she say something like letting the third son be a bachelor?

Wu Zhiqiu sneered, in her previous life, she had wanted to feed them all her bone marrow, what did she get in return?

These two sentences were already hurtful, and there were even more hurtful days to come!

“Mom! Are you really my real mom?” The third son clutched his chest, looking hurt.

In the past, Wu Zhiqiu would have been heartbroken to see her beloved son looking at her with such an expression, she would have wanted to grant him all his wishes!

Now, seeing her youngest son like this, she was still uncomfortable.

But remembering her later years, that discomfort instantly disappeared!

“I’m not! Go find your real mom!” Wu Zhiqiu said expressionlessly.

The second son, who had been looking down, chuckled, and the second daughter-in-law’s shoulders shook, clearly holding back laughter.

The eldest son and his wife also had smiles on their faces.

The third son looked at the expressions of everyone in the room, his teeth itching with anger.

“Mom and Dad, if you sell your jobs to Big brother, then don’t rely on me to support you in your old age!” After dropping this harsh word, the third son wanted to go out, but he didn’t know what he thought of and didn’t leave, he sat down on the small stool at the door.

He probably wanted to see if his parents would really sell all their jobs to the eldest brother to raise money for him to go abroad.

In her previous life, Wu Zhiqiu and Li Mancang did just that.

But…

“Third son, whether I sell my job to you or not, we raised you when you were young, so you have to support us when we are old! Now it’s a new society, you should learn some law! Don’t be like an illiterate all the time!” Wu Zhiqiu glanced at her youngest son indifferently, she wouldn’t say that she didn’t need him to support her, why? She had raised him from a baby, you can’t just say you won’t support us! You’re spoiled!

“You dare not support us, try it!” Li Mancang also glared.

“You’re filling my big brother’s pockets with your jobs, I don’t agree!” The third son said unconvinced.

“Third brother, how can you say that, after I go abroad, I will also be beneficial to the family! Spending a little money now, the return will be tenfold or even a hundredfold!” Li Xingguo, who had been silent, spoke calmly, his voice full of confidence, and a hint of superiority.

“Humph! You’re just fooling Mom and Dad with this! You said the same thing when you were in university, now you’ve been out of school for a few years, has the family seen a penny from you?” The third son rolled his eyes in disdain.

“Mom and Dad, Third brother, your big brother has been studying and reading books for the past two years, buying review materials and so on, the expenses are also very high, so he hasn’t given any money to the family,” the eldest daughter-in-law quickly explained.

“Come on, sister-in-law, don’t treat everyone like fools, you both have jobs, your monthly salary is over two thousand, how much do your big brother’s review materials cost? Don’t treat everyone like fools!” The third son didn’t want to give face to anyone today, he knew that his mother’s job absolutely couldn’t be given to the eldest brother.

“It’s not just review materials, he also needs to supplement his nutrition and so on, you don’t know, studying is very hard,” Wang Yue tried to explain.

The third son snorted, “Mom and Dad are so old, I haven’t seen you buy them any nutritional supplements!”

Li Xingguo’s face darkened, his status in the family had always been high, this was the first time he had been questioned like this.

In the past, his mother would have stopped his younger brother from speaking long ago, maintaining his position as the eldest son in the family.

But today, his mother was like watching a play, watching the two brothers bicker, she didn’t have any intention of helping him out.

His father was useless, he listened to his mother, only if his mother made her position clear would his father help!

Li Xingguo looked at his mother, hoping she would still defend him like she used to.

Wu Zhiqiu sneered in her heart, in her previous life, she sent you abroad, which of your brothers and sisters benefited from it? Not to mention your brothers and sisters, even she and the old man, besides living a harder and harder life, what did they get?
