“Cheers!”
There was a burst of noise in the rented house.
After a busy day, everyone was very excited and gathered together to celebrate.
The storm had come to an end, and many people had already come out to socialize.
After Xu Mo, Tang Lei, and others went out to sell live shrimp and crabs at noon, they went out again in the afternoon for another round of sales.
By now, they had sold most of their stock, with only a small portion remaining.
The costs had already been recovered, and what was left was pure profit.
This time, each of them could earn a few thousand bucks.
“Xu Mo, your idea was great! We actually managed to raise the prices. We’re going to make big money this time!” Tang Lei exclaimed excitedly.
“Right! This time we can really make some money. I invested three thousand and can make over six thousand!” Gu Huanxi was also excited.
As a high school student, she dressed very simply, without any adornment, wearing her school uniform.
“I made money too!” Li Banzhuang also laughed, “This time, we’re all making money!”
Xu Mo smiled happily, “It’s not over yet! I just checked the news. It’s said that this storm has caused severe damage to longan, lychee, and bananas! Especially bananas, many banana plantations have been destroyed! Tomorrow, we’ll go to the wholesale market and buy a large quantity of bananas. I estimate that within four or five days, the price of bananas could more than double!”
“Double again?” Tang Lei was astonished.
“Yes! It will definitely double! With this increase, we can tackle the urgent situation. Huanxi and Banzhuang, you don’t have to work in the canteen anymore. Wait until after the college entrance examination! Tang Lei, you don’t have to wash dishes either. We’ll have enough money to get through these months. After our college entrance examination, we can think of other ways to make money!” Xu Mo said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the three couldn’t help but feel excited.
“But Xu Mo, are you really not going back to the Xu family?” Gu Huanxi suddenly looked at him with some concern.
Clearly, he had been so proud of everything about the Xu family, with the most outstanding sisters and parents, their wealth, and a comfortable life. Why did he have to run away?
Being orphans, Gu Huanxi, Tang Lei, and the others had always been envious of Xu Mo in the past, thinking he was too arrogant.
But now, it seemed that Xu Mo’s life at the Xu family wasn’t all that great!
“I’m not going back!” Xu Mo said, “As for the reason, don’t ask for now! Let’s focus on making money and preparing for the college entrance examination!”
Gu Huanxi looked at him, saying with some compassion, “Xu Mo, you still have us!”
“Yes, Xu Mo, you still have us!” Tang Lei also said cheerfully.
Xu Mo smiled, “Haha, right! I still have you guys! What’s the use of blood relatives? Come on, let’s have a good time today! After we’re done, we’ll continue making money tomorrow!”
“Great!”
The three of them were very excited, drinking, cooking, studying, and working together.
He still remembered in his previous life, the twenty years after Xu Mo’s death, many things had happened. He had also witnessed the outcomes of Tang Lei, Gu Huanxi, and Li Banzhuang.
For a long time after Xu Mo’s death, Tang Lei, Gu Huanxi, and Li Banzhuang had visited his grave many times.
Through their own efforts, most of the three had achieved great success and lived out remarkable lives.
Especially Gu Huanxi, who had been admitted to a prestigious university and later became a famous and accomplished lawyer nationwide.
Even Li Banzhuang, who had the worst start, became an excellent teacher, dedicated to educating others, leading a very stable life.
These orphans desired safety and stability the most, and their destinies were quite similar.
Now, what they desired most was to make a mark for themselves.
After having their fill, the four of them took out exam papers and began studying together.
Because they didn’t have the support of family, their grades were actually quite average compared to Xu Mo’s.
However, with Xu Mo’s experience from his past life and his recollection of the college entrance examination, helping them improve their grades shouldn’t be a big issue.
Now that he had some free time, guiding and tutoring them would suffice.
“Xu Mo, you have the best grades. With your guidance, we should be able to do better!” Tang Lei smiled.
“Yes! It’s great to have you!” Li Banzhuang also smiled.
“But Xu Mo, won’t this delay your own studies?” Gu Huanxi expressed some concern.
“I won’t be delayed! We’ll study together, take the college entrance examination together, and attend university together! I’ve made up my mind. As long as we’re together, no one can stop us!” Xu Mo smiled.
Gu Huanxi, Tang Lei, and Li Banzhuang exchanged glances, silently speculating on what Xu Mo had experienced in the Xu family to make him this way!
In truth, all three of them knew that Xu Mo hadn’t had a good time in the Xu family.
Despite the family’s wealth, they never gave him a penny and lived very frugally.
They say blood is thicker than water, but the way his biological parents treated their adopted son was far better than how they treated him.
In the past, he was either physically abused or verbally berated in the Xu family.
It seems that Xu Mo has come to terms with everything now!
Seeing him return, Gu Huanxi and the others were actually very excited.
After all, the four of them had been dependent on each other for a long time. When Xu Mo found his parents, the three of them went through a tough time for quite a while!
If you think about it, the destinies of these four are quite similar. Except for Li Banzhuang, the other three were abandoned by their parents.
Especially Tang Lei, who was abandoned as a baby and nearly bitten to death by stray dogs, left in a trash can.
Gu Huanxi was abandoned at the age of three because of gender preference.
Only Li Banzhuang became an orphan when her parents passed away when she was young!

The chat records are numerous, and it’s impossible to finish them all at once. Xu Wanting is now afraid to continue reading.
Because after searching, she found many, many more records. Even in the mobile phone, there are diaries, posts, and moments written by Xu Mo. Due to the change in number, Xu Mo did not take these away or delete them.
Xu Wanting searched her own name and found countless records. Below, there was even one that read: “Elder Sister took me out…”
Xu Wanting dared not continue reading further. She clearly remembered what happened that day. Xu Wanting took him out for a trip, together with her younger brother Xu Junzhe. Xu Mo was extremely excited that time, his eyes gleaming with joy…
She took a deep breath, trembling as she picked up her phone and dialed a number to call her second elder sister, Xu Xuehui.
“Xuehui, come to my room! I need to talk to you!”
Xu Xuehui is the second elder sister, and a university music teacher, known as a pianist and musician. She has composed her own songs, released albums, and gained some fame. She has even composed songs for her third sister, Xu Manni.
