Chapter 392: Bai Mo is Reborn

She simply did not believe her daughter had died; from now on, this girl would be her daughter.

She would certainly not be like her own mother, favoring boys over girls; she would cherish her daughter well and give her the best within her means.

"You can't do a single useful thing all day long. Instead of finding my eldest grandson, why did you bring back a burden?"

"Mom, this is your granddaughter; she is our daughter."

"Don't give me that nonsense! Hurry up and cook! Do you want to starve us to death? Go ask around the whole village—is there any other daughter-in-law like you?"

Li Xuan placed the child on the bed and then hurried to cook.

In the cramped kitchen, thick with smoke and fire, Li Xuan could barely keep her eyes open while cooking.

As her eyes were about to be stung to tears, she thought that if their plan hadn't gone wrong, the person married to Shen Lan now should have been Si Rong.

The suffering she was enduring should have been borne by Si Rong instead.

She truly felt unreconciled.

Just after finishing the cooking, before she could sit down to eat, the child cried.

Because she had previously sent the child to the Fuliyuan, she had no breast milk and could only feed her formula.

"Formula?" Unsurprisingly, when Shen Mu saw her feeding the child formula, she looked at her with disdain. "How much money does it cost to drink formula? Our Shen family can't afford a child like this!"

"Mom, you don't need to worry about the formula; I will find a way myself."

Li Xuan didn't want to deal with her at all; it seemed she would have to go find that big brother again.

In any case, she had to find a way to raise her daughter; it would be fine once Shen Lan could earn money at the Black Market.

With only twenty yuan of capital, Shen Lan pondered going to the Black Market to sell some rat poison.

Every household worried about rats stealing grain, so the goods he sourced through his connections could still be sold.

"I want to get rich!"

Ming Zi told Si Rong while resting her chin on her hands.

Si Rong was lying on the bed drinking red bean porridge.

"I heard from my big brother that the books you translate are of high quality; isn't the royalty fee quite substantial?"

"I don't have to worry about food and drink, nor the red envelopes for my godson and goddaughter, but, sigh!"

Si Rong raised an eyebrow, "Did you see Luo Sheng again?"

After all, the two of them had been husband and wife for over twenty years in their past life; some entanglement was only natural.

"That dog of a man brought a woman in front of me to show off!"

"Showing off the watch he bought for that woman, the gold bracelet he bought—it made me so angry!"

"Soon," Si Rong rubbed her irritable head, "Believe me, we will be able to do business very soon, and then I will take you to earn big money!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If the country wants to develop, it must start with the economy. By then, there will be no more 'speculation and profiteering,' and the country will even encourage individuals to do business!"

"Really?" Ming Zi was still somewhat incredulous. "They won't arrest people for selling things? How do you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know," Si Rong said with a mysterious air. "In any case, don't be anxious; just wait patiently. In the future, even that little bit of money Luo Sheng has won't be worth your notice."

These words made Ming Zi's heart surge with excitement.

However, she remembered one more thing, "By the way, I saw Shen Lan at the Black Market."

"Shen Lan?"

"Yes, selling rat poison at the Black Market. It's truly laughable. Before, when he was a little Section Chief, he was so arrogant. Back then, he didn't spare any effort in making things difficult for those who were just trying to make a living by speculating and profiteering. I don't know how he has the face to go there himself now."

"Before the timing I mentioned arrives, selling things at the Black Market is still considered speculation and profiteering. Didn't you report him?"

"Eh? I actually didn't think of that?"

Ming Zi felt furious thinking about how that scumbag had hidden his child with Li Xuan from Si Rong. "I'll go right now!"

"No!" Si Rong held her back. "Most of those people doing business in the Black Market are only doing it because they have no other choice to make a living. Better not implicate the innocent."

However, she felt unhappy not reporting Shen Lan.

"Let me think," her hand rested on the orange as she patted it gently. "Either we warn the others in the Black Market first and only catch Shen Lan, or we catch him just as he's about to enter the Black Market. There are lookouts at the entrance who will warn the others."

"Fine! Let's do as you say."

"Rongrong, hehe, I feel quite excited thinking about doing something bad."

If Si Rong weren't in her postpartum recovery period, she would want to go watch the fun too.

"When it's time to be bad, one must be bad. With me here, he will never have a good life in this lifetime."

"Eight yuan, ten yuan... thirty-three yuan and fifty cents," Li Xuan counted the money Shen Lan earned from selling rat poison at the Black Market, very happy. "Brother Lan, you really have talent!"

She had said it before: everything she sacrificed was worth it.

"The goods I bought with twenty yuan haven't even sold out yet," Shen Lan was also very happy, even taking the initiative to hold his daughter for a while. "I estimate that if I sell it all, I can make over sixty yuan!"

"Then that's a net profit of forty yuan," Li Xuan calculated on her fingers. "That's quite a lot to earn in a month!"

"Our good days are finally coming! What you earn in one week of selling is already higher than Jiang Cheng's monthly salary!"

Shen Lan lifted his head slightly. "Him? Someone who only knows how to take a fixed salary—a stubborn fool! In one year, I will have you living in a new house; from then on, you can buy whatever you want!"

He just wanted to let Li Xuan live a better life than Si Rong, so that Si Rong would regret missing out on him.

Although Shen Lan himself didn't know why he had such thoughts, it had already become his obsession.

"However, will there really be that many people who need rat poison?" Li Xuan worried. "What if people buy it once, and once there are no rats, they don't buy it anymore?"

Shen Lan had also thought about this question. "There aren't that many rats because there are cats. But what if there are no cats in our neighborhood?"

"How could there be no cats?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what Shen Lan meant. "Husband, you are so smart!"

That's right, as long as there are no cats, the rats will surely run rampant, and naturally, everyone will buy rat poison.

Shen Lan teased the baby on the bed for a while, "This little one is quite well-behaved."

"Mm, as expected of our daughter, she is especially sensible."

The tiny person lay on the bed, looking left and right, not knowing what she was pondering.

Round and round, everything is fate.

Bai Mo did not expect that she had experienced a Rebirth.

In her past life, she made a mess of her life; after being pushed down the mountain by that damned old woman of the Bai family, she opened her eyes to find she had become a small infant.

Although she possessed her memories, she could do nothing.

Just when she thought she would have no intersection with the people from her past life, Li Xuan appeared.
