Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

The next few days were quite comfortable and life was very pleasant. Cheng Xinyuan's tutoring class had not started yet, and one of the things he did every morning without fail was to wake me up and take me to play ball. Sometimes it was just the two of us, and sometimes there were Yao Yuan, Qin Luo Tian, ​​Ding Yibo and others. Ms. Lin's business was surprisingly good these days. There were not many customers, but they were all wealthy people, buying piles of clothes. Ms. Lin watched the balance on her phone increase little by little, smiling from ear to ear, and she would send me a red envelope whenever she had nothing to do. The sentence she said most these days was: "It turns out that having money feels so good!" She also consulted customers who work in banks. When they knew that she wanted to apply for a credit card, they were very happy and kept thanking Ms. Lin for providing her with business.

Of course, a comfortable life is not all smooth sailing.

On the third day after Ms. Lin changed the payment code to her own, Cheng Xingmin called to "question". He could accept that the clothing store had no business or no income for one day, or no payment by scanning the code, but he began to doubt it after two consecutive days. He first questioned Ms. Lin whether she only accepted cash and did not allow customers to scan the code. Ms. Lin did not hide it and came clean...

Ms. Lin's brick-like business phone was very loud even when the speakerphone was not on, so Cheng Xinyuan and I could hear everything they said clearly.

Cheng Xingmin started to question him: "What do you mean? Do you only allow your customers to pay in cash? Don't think that it's okay to pay in cash. I will check them one by one when I get back. I can't hide your little tricks from you!"

Ms. Lin was not as excited as he was. She said calmly, "What little tricks are you? Oh, who are you that I should hide this from you? My client, you can pay however you want. To tell you the truth, I have torn up your payment code. Now the money from selling clothes goes directly to me, whether it is cash or scanning the code~"

"Have you become so capable? How dare you do such a thing!" Cheng Xingmin's voice was really furious. Cheng Xinyuan and I whispered about Cheng Xingmin's expression.

"So what if I have become more capable? What have I done? I bought the clothes myself and I sold them myself, so why can't I keep the money myself? I'm telling you, don't even think about taking a penny from me in the future." Ms. Lin's tone was not affected by Cheng Xingmin at all, it was still calm, without any ripples. She was not arguing with Cheng Xingmin, she was just notifying Cheng Xingmin.

"You...!" Cheng Xingmin's voice became noticeably weaker. He had clearly used the strongest tone, and he thought Ms. Lin would quarrel with him as usual, but he didn't expect that his punch would hit cotton.

"Oh~ If you want to talk about paying off your credit card, then I'll tell you, how much credit card can you pay off with the money you took from me in the past few years? You have a lot of savings, don't try to fool me again, I know how much money you took from me. I'm afraid you haven't spent your own salary, you are quite calculating, you feel good spending my money, huh, from now on, you have to pay off your own credit card, anyway, I don't owe you anything. As for the foreign debts, I don't count on you..."

"You can't do this! We are husband and wife, a family!" Cheng Xingmin was anxious.

"Oh, now you know that I'm your wife and that we're a family? Then I was stupid for asking for money so hard before. I can't spend the money I earn myself."

"Let me see what you'll do with the incoming goods later!"

"It's my own business, why are you in such a hurry? What should I do about purchasing goods? I don't make any money selling clothes, but I always paid cash for purchasing goods before. It's not a big deal. Besides, you are the only one who can apply for a credit card? You are the only one with an identity? The bank is eager to apply for a credit card for me."

"Don't believe it! They are all lies!"

"You're still trying to fool me now, Cheng Xingmin, you've read so much that you've become a complete idiot. How come I didn't realize you're such a fool before!" Cheng Xinyuan and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Now Ms. Lin's dirty words really came out of her mouth, and her elegant personality was completely shattered.

Cheng Xingmin probably didn't expect Ms. Lin to curse, and there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Ms. Lin was not going to let him off so easily: "I forgot to tell you, when you come back, you can live in the storeroom next to the toilet. Everything has been packed up for you to put in. You can come over for meals, but don't even think about setting foot in my house!"

Cheng Xingmin kept saying "you...you...you..." for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. He must have been mad. After a long pause, he finally said, "It's just a few bucks from you. Why is there such a big fuss and separation? Do you want a divorce?"

"Okay, I'll handle the formalities when you come back." Ms. Lin remained calm.

"Sister, is mom serious?" Cheng Xinyuan asked me with eyes wide open. "I don't know if it's true or not, but she is really disappointed in dad. Believe it or not, dad will be shocked~" I said while cracking melon seeds.

Cheng Xingmin kept saying “you…you…you…” for a long time on the other end. “You are such a bad eloquence!” I commented.

“Cheng Xingmin, listen to me, I know all the shit you’ve done. Do you really think that everything you do is perfect? ​​Do you really think I’m so easy to fool? I just didn’t want to care before, but you keep pushing your luck again and again, so I can’t endure it anymore!” Ms. Lin seemed to be issuing an ultimatum. “Don’t think I’m easy to control, Cheng Xingmin. You’d better keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself, you coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. You can hate me as much as you want, I’m not afraid. The worst that can happen is that both of us will die in the end!” Ms. Lin closed her phone with a snap. The sound was crisp and clear, but she still looked at the phone with disgust.

That afternoon, Ms. Lin went to buy a new phone from her old customer. The lady there was very honest. Not only did she give Ms. Lin the lowest price, but she also gave her a lot of small things. It was a kind gesture, and something is better than nothing. Ms. Lin also offered to buy me a new phone, but I refused. She needed to change her phone, but I didn't have one. I just waited for a new model.

Ms. Lin was obviously in a different mood, and she was particularly concerned about me. Seriously, I have tried on almost all the clothes in the store these days. Ms. Lin cut the tags on a few pieces that looked good on her, but she was still not satisfied. She was muttering that she would pick out more clothes that would suit me next time she went to stock up. I sell my own clothes at home, but not other things. When there were no customers during the day, Ms. Lin would take Cheng Xinyuan and me to the shoe store and the cosmetics store. I suggested buying them online, but Ms. Lin rejected it: "Things like clothes and shoes must be tried in person to see the effect, otherwise how do you know what style is suitable for you~"

I agree with her, but I didn't dare tell her that in a few years, the huge impact of e-commerce will almost make physical stores unable to breathe. But I'm not worried, even in her previous life, she has experienced the impact of e-commerce, she has a fixed customer base, and her business is not that bad. If she is willing to try e-commerce in the future, it's not a bad idea.

I looked at the pile of unopened cosmetics on the dressing table. Every item here is one I have tried and carefully selected. Ms. Lin paid for it. She also said, "When I put the dressing table in your room before, in addition to paying attention to the appearance, I also wondered when you could fill the table. But I only thought about you filling it up, but didn't think about how to fill it up. It was my negligence." She even thought about enrolling me in a makeup class. When I found out, I quickly stopped her. Do I need to learn makeup? I also worked as a makeup artist in a photo studio in my previous life! But this cannot be said. Some money should be spent, but this money is unnecessary. I told Ms. Lin, "Makeup is just painting on the face. Your daughter has a talent for painting. Can a little makeup stump me? Just practice during the holiday at home. Even if it is not good, it will only embarrass you at home. It's a whole summer vacation. There is enough time. Why spend that money?"

Ms. Lin didn't insist anymore and touched my head naturally, and then she discovered another problem.

After that incident in high school, I cut my hair short and kept this style until my sophomore year when I slowly grew my hair long again. Speaking of which, my hair grows quite slowly. It’s been almost a year and I can only tie it into a small bun. Not only is my hair split, but the color is also a little yellowish, and I don’t have much hair… Well, it may be due to personal nutrition, and also genetics. I remember that Cheng Xingmin had a sparse head of hair. If he doesn’t inherit the good things, he will inherit the bad things!

Ms. Lin frowned and fiddled with my hair, and began to blame herself again: "How can I be such a mother?" I comforted her: "I don't take good care of myself. The part of my body that I worry least about is my hair. It's good enough to keep it fresh and clean. As for the hairstyle, who cares about that~"

Thinking back to my last life, I was a stereotypical female lawyer: black hair, always tied in a low ponytail, formatted makeup, framed glasses, and the same black suit... I was so plain. When my hair got long, I would just trim the ends with scissors. I never had it permed or dyed. Tony was so pitiful. He never earned a penny from me...

"That won't do. My daughter must be exquisite from head to toe!" Ms. Lin patted my face lovingly, full of pampering.

Is this the feeling of being well taken care of? It really is quite good!
