Chapter 406: She Won't Let Anyone Disturb Her Happy Days

Li Xuan and Shen Lan were also stunned for a moment, then they withdrew their hands and looked at Shen Yuan at the same time.

Shen Yuan leaned against the wall and slowly stood up, trying her best to imitate a child's speech, "Dad, Mom, don't, fight."

To be honest, Li Xuan was somewhat moved in her heart; after all, this was the child she had raised with her own hands, and she was still protective of her.

She took Shen Yuan into her arms, "Alright, let's listen to Xiao Yuan, we won't fight anymore. How about Mom stews some egg custard for you to eat?"

Shen Yuan nodded.

She thought that she could not show too much beyond her peers right now, otherwise, it would likely arouse suspicion.

Li Xuan and Shen Lan might not treat her with genuine sincerity, so she could only take it slow.

"Mom! Mom!" She continued to pop the words out one by one.

Pretending to be cute made her want to vomit.

Li Xuan immediately went to make egg custard for her daughter.

Fortunately, even though Shen Mu had always looked down on her, she did not favor boys over girls.

Seeing her occasionally stew egg custard for her daughter, she would only frown and would not say anything unpleasant.

While eating the egg custard, Shen Yuan thought about how to help the family rise and live a good life.

It would be best to become an existence similar to the Jiang Family and the Si Family, so that her family background would be a better match for Jiang Sinian's in the future.

In her past life, Si Rong did not agree to her getting back together with Jiang Sinian, most likely because she felt the Bai family's background was poor and she was not the Bai family's biological daughter.

Since she was able to have a Rebirth, she would definitely do her best to change all of this.

The opportunity of the Reform and Opening-up must be seized; otherwise, by the time everyone reacts, it will be a scramble for business.

She had to make these two idiots, Li Xuan and Shen Lan, discover the differences between her and ordinary children as soon as possible.

The first to discover that her daughter was smarter than other children was Li Xuan, who was originally calculating the business accounts for this period for Shen Lan.

But her daughter, Shen Yuan, was watching with great interest from the side.

She couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Watching so intently, can you understand it too?"

"One, plus, one, equals two," Shen Yuan said.

Knowing such a simple math problem was actually nothing strange, but if a child under ten months old knew it, it could simply be called a Child Prodigy.

Li Xuan was surprised for quite a while.

"Xiao Yuan is too amazing!" Her eyes lit up; was her own luck really that good? Could it be that the child she adopted at random was a Child Prodigy?

"Then let Xiao Yuan see," she quickly wrote down two plus two on the paper, "what does this equal?"

Shen Yuan pretended to count on her fingers, and finally said, "Mom, four!"

Li Xuan immediately hugged her daughter and kissed her several times, then immediately told Shen Lan this good news.

The couple circled around Shen Yuan and sized her up for a long time, as if they were watching a performing monkey.

One moment this one would give a math problem, the next moment that one would ask her to recite a line of ancient poetry.

Shen Yuan was able to answer fluently every time.

"We're rich, we're rich!" Shen Lan looked at his daughter and said with an excited face.

Originally, he was still worrying about where he should go from here, but now it seemed there was no need to worry.

With his daughter, this Child Prodigy, could he still worry about not getting rich?

The couple looked at each other, and then began to discuss how to do business and make money.

"Sell! Things!" Shen Yuan pointed at the clothes in the room and said.

Since these two idiots already thought she was a Child Prodigy, she could naturally guide these two people as a matter of course.

"Then Xiao Yuan tell us, how should we sell to make big money?"

"Listen, to, Mom's, sell socks!" Shen Yuan said.

Si Rong was not stupid, and her two older brothers were both experts at doing business; if these two guys, Shen Lan and Li Xuan, wanted to go head-to-head with them, they naturally wouldn't get any benefits.

But small things like socks, although inconspicuous, were consumables.

Especially in winter, everyone had to wear socks.

They would definitely be able to make money.

Before, when Li Xuan brought it up, Shen Lan wouldn't even listen, but now the one proposing this suggestion was his Child Prodigy daughter.

"Alright, then we'll listen to Xiao Yuan."

Shen Lan had a mind to test her, "Then how can we sell these clothes of ours?"

If they didn't sell them soon, they wouldn't even have the money to wholesale socks.

"Wait."

Shen Yuan only said this one word, and soon Shen Lan understood.

"You mean wait for Si Rong to finish selling the same style of clothes as ours, and then we sell?"

"Yes, sell at the same price as her."

Just hoping to temporarily break even was enough.

Li Xuan hugged Shen Yuan and kissed her deeply on the forehead, "As expected of my daughter, you are truly too smart!"

From then on, whatever good food or useful things were in the house, Shen Lan and Li Xuan would prioritize Shen Yuan.

The mother and daughter of the Si Family had no objections to this, because they also liked Shen Yuan very much.

Who wouldn't like a child who was both obedient and smart?

Especially when taken out, letting the child recite a poem or solve a simple math problem from time to time gave their whole family a lot of face.

Soon, everyone near Zhangshu Street knew that a Child Prodigy had appeared in the Shen family.

Some people even specially went to their house to buy clothes just to catch a glimpse of the 'Child Prodigy's' demeanor.

"It's truly interesting," Ming Zi felt very strange, "How could those two idiots give birth to such a smart child?"

More than one customer has come to tell Ming Zi about Shen Yuan reciting ancient poems and doing arithmetic.

"It is quite interesting," Si Rong said thoughtfully.

If she could have a Rebirth, and Jiang Cheng could awaken memories of a Rebirth, then others could naturally have other opportunities as well.

It is just that this matter of Shen Yuan is truly shrouded in mist.

"You say, back then we spent money and couldn't find any news of Shen Yuan, yet Li Xuan went out once and found her?"

Ming Zi tilted her head, "Could it be that this girl is not their daughter?"

In her past life, Si Rong understood Shen Yuan; she followed the roots of their old Shen family, and her intelligence was indeed a fatal flaw.

Let alone a Child Prodigy, her intelligence could only be considered below average.

Then there can only be two possibilities: one is that this Shen Yuan is a Rebirth, and the other possibility is that this girl is not Shen Yuan.

Regardless of which one it is, she must be on guard.

"And Shen Lan seems to have become enlightened; he is selling socks now, and business is good."

Ming Zi rarely praised Shen Lan, "Very clever, building his daughter into a 'Child Prodigy'; as long as one buys a pair of socks, one can strike up a conversation with the Child Prodigy, which counts as advertising."

"As long as they don't have designs on us, we won't pay them any mind."

"Do you think it's possible that that knowledge was taught to the child by Shen Lan and Li Xuan in advance, just to sell things?" Ming Zi guessed again.

"Probably not." Si Rong felt those two people did not have that kind of brain.

What's more, the customers all said that the little Child Prodigy, who is not even one year old, was answering questions on the spot.

She can mentally calculate addition and subtraction within one hundred.

This shows it couldn't have been taught in advance, and a child couldn't possibly remember that much.

Shen Yuan is more like a Rebirth, just like her.

If she had been reborn and was living a good life with her family, that would be one thing, but if she dares to have designs on her own family again...

Si Rong will absolutely not be soft-hearted.

She discovered that her current mindset is vastly different from that of her past life.

In her past life, regarding those who displeased her, she always thought only of self-preservation.

Whether it was toward Li Xuan or Bai Mo, who was eyeing her son covetously.

But after this Rebirth, she knew she was an anomaly.

Every morning when she wakes up, she can see the smiling faces of Jiang Cheng and her two children.

In her spare time, she can visit her parents' home, act spoiled in front of them, and also use her memories from her past life to help her two older brothers avoid pitfalls in business.

Doing business with a good friend, no matter how much or how little money they earn, they are very happy every day.

Such a life, Si Rong will not allow anyone to disturb.

However, regarding those two children of Li Xuan, there is one thing she still does not understand very well.

"You say, her daughter's whereabouts were so hard to find, yet she found her; did she not find that son of the Xuyang family?"

Ming Zi understood what she meant, "You mean, she found that child? But she doesn't want to bring him back for the time being, and wants to let others raise her son for her?"

"I think that might be the case."

Li Xuan was like this in her past life; although she is not smart enough, she is ruthless enough.

Letting her own child call someone else 'mother' for over a decade, and then waiting until others have raised the child, she finally jumps out to reap the fruits of victory.

"What a total idiot!"

Ming Zi cursed; she also felt speechless, but soon thought, "You say, should we get involved?"

Si Rong had exactly that intention.

Now that Li Xuan has someone helping her raise her son, and her daughter has become a universally recognized 'Child Prodigy', her little life is going a bit too well.

She feels a bit uncomfortable looking at it, so Li Xuan shouldn't be comfortable either.

After the spring clothes were sold, it was time for summer clothes; Ming Zi and Li Xuan took the time to go to the Xuyang Shen family again.

They also chatted with that woman from the Shen family named Daniu.

Li Xuan has been feeling physically and mentally comfortable during this period; not only did they earn some money doing business with the help of their daughter, but they also gained a lot of respect.

Many people nearby say she knows how to educate children and often flatter her, wanting her to impart some educational experience.

After earning money, she thought about going to see her son, and incidentally bringing some food and supplies for him.

In order to be able to come and go frequently at the Shen family in the future, she specifically brought along her Child Prodigy daughter.

If the Shen family sees her, perhaps they will let the two siblings interact more.

Harboring these beautiful thoughts, Li Xuan knocked on the door of the Shen family.
