Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

I told my parents about some business things that happened in my previous life, and there were some things I kept hidden from them to avoid them from having wild thoughts before they even happened.

After discussion, the whole family (except the ignorant little brother) unanimously decided not to transfer the supermarket, expand the business scope, and decisively buy the three-story building, after all, it will appreciate in value.

"Mom and Dad, we will have physical examinations twice a year from now on. Health is the capital of revolution." Fortunately, there is still time for everything in this life. I dare not say too much, for I am afraid that my parents will think too much and it will affect their health even more.

"I see. Now you are the manager of our family, little housekeeper," my mother joked without thinking much about it.

"And mom, don't go play mahjong with others anymore. My brother has been influenced by this since he was young, and it's easy for him to go astray. Once he gets involved in gambling, it's not easy to change. In the end, he becomes a gambling addict and his life will be ruined." The mother was suddenly stunned and looked at the cute and immature brother in the yard.

Suddenly he trembled and said, "Did I affect Xiao Taotao?"

"Yes, in his previous life, Taotao dropped out of school early and became a gambler. At a young age, he went to an arcade to play slot machines and lost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. He mortgaged his ID card to the arcade owner, and in the end his family used it to fill the hole."

"He didn't learn his lesson and started gambling online. He lost the house that his family lent him money to buy, his car, his shop, and even borrowed a lot of high-interest loans."

"He still hasn't learned his lesson. He went to play Pai Gow with others at his friend's wedding and lost tens of thousands of dollars, even though he borrowed the money from others." After saying this in one breath, Dad looked shocked and Mom cried with regret and slapped herself twice.

"I will change, I will definitely change, and never play mahjong again. It's my fault that Taotao was harmed." Mom said while crying with a determined look on her face.

This requires drastic measures, otherwise there is no way my mother can change her mahjong addiction of many years.

"But there is one thing worth being happy about. Taotao has found a good girlfriend, Qianmeng from our village, who is the younger sister of my classmate Canxing."

"When Taotao was gambling online, Qianmeng was afraid that Taotao would be depressed, so she not only did not run away when the disaster struck, but also helped Taotao pay off his debts. She did not despise her family's poverty and married Taotao." We have to comfort the little old lady, otherwise she will feel guilty.

"Besides, Taotao is still young. If we let him leave this kind of environment, he will definitely not become a gambler." I took the opportunity to arrange another wave of comfort.

Seeing my parents' faces improve, I felt relieved now that the interests involved had been made clear.

"Qianmeng is such a rare, kind and loyal child. If she could marry into our family in this life, I would definitely treat her well and let her live a life that others envy." Mom said gratefully.

"Okay, just learn your lesson and educate Taotao properly. Fortunately, it hasn't reached the point where it cannot be reversed."

"Don't feel guilty. It hasn't happened yet. Let's strictly discipline Taotao and set a good example for him." Dad comforted Mom.

After chatting for a while, I slipped back to my bedroom to read a book. I couldn't deprive myself of knowledge, so I took out the Math 5-3 textbook and started practicing questions, sorting out the question types and the wrong questions. I practiced them over and over again until it got dark. Then I stopped studying. It turns out that time flies so fast when you put in the effort of studying.

After dinner, I took out the geography book and read it from beginning to end. I felt that the content was so easy to understand, why didn’t I understand it no matter how I explained it in my previous life.

I was depressed. Did taking away my luck also take away my brain? I really didn't understand. But now that my mind was clear, I could understand and remember, why not seize the time and study.

It wasn't until my mother knocked on the door that I realized it was already the middle of the night. I had to take some time to get some rest and continue tomorrow. My brain also needs rest to be flexible.
