University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
"You're so stubborn, child. I've told you some things, but you don't take them seriously. You don't feel anything now, but it'll be different when you're looking for a partner. Men's families will be picky about the woman's job. You have two children, and without a stable job, how will you get married?" Mr. Wang said hastily, his words a little out of line. Qin Xiaoyu never expected Mr. Wang to be so worried about her. She was both touched and saddened. She went up to Mr. Wang, put her arm around his shoulder, and affectionately pressed her face against his.
"Master, don't worry. Didn't you hear what Aunt Wang said? I'm the richest person in our country. Why would I be afraid of not having a man?"
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. She even said your eldest son isn’t your biological son. You believe that?” Master Wang tried to persuade her by forcefully prying her arms away.
"I believe it, I just believe it! I want to make a lot of money so that Master can enjoy a life of luxury without having to do anything!" Qin Xiaoyu clung tightly to Master Wang's neck, refusing to let go.
"Alright, you've strangled me. I'll listen to you. Sigh! This kid!" Master Wang sighed, speechless.
After calming Master Wang down, Qin Xiaoyu asked him about the whole story of Da Liu's visit. She learned that Da Liu was now the manager of Dongfeng Barber Shop and they had started implementing a piece-rate system. Qin Xiaoyu's shop had caused Dongfeng to lose a lot of customers, so they were resorting to a desperate measure: trying to attract customers by offering incentives.
It seems the situation is starting to improve, and people are focusing on efficiency. This is what Qin Xiaoyu sees. She regrets not paying attention in her political classes when she was in school. She doesn't understand what the process of building socialism with Chinese characteristics is like, and she doesn't know how to keep up with the times. Only by getting on the right track can one make money.
The hard work she's doing now is just a transition; she's sowing the seeds, and the harvest will take time. But she believes it won't be long, because she's been blessed. After all, how many people in the world are truly reborn?
