90s Left-Behind Mother Decides to Change

At sixteen, Liu Suqin graduated from junior high and went south with her cousin to work. Like most factory girls, she met a young male colleague she liked, quickly fell in love, got married, and then returned home to have children, raise them, and manage the household.

Her husband continued to work outside. Due to their long-term separation, their relationship was lukewarm. Fortunately, the man she found was responsible; he sent his wages regularly. Liu Suqin stayed in her hometown, caring for their pair of intelligent and sensible children, and even built a beautiful three-story house.

Later, both children went to university in other cities. Many villagers with sons bought wedding homes in the county for them, and they also emptied their savings to buy an apartment, eagerly anticipating their son's return for an early reunion. Then, their son, after graduating with a master's degree, suddenly told them he wanted to venture into a big city and wouldn't be coming home.

Looking back, her eldest daughter, whom she remembered as sensible and considerate, had also become an eccentric and rebellious older "leftover woman." After toiling for half her life, with her husband constantly away and her children scattered, Liu Suqin lived as a lonely individual.

One morning, she dreamed she was back thirty-something years ago, still in the factory dormitory. Her eldest daughter was in her belly, and her young husband was busily packing, about to send her back to her hometown to await childbirth.

Liu Suqin gritted her teeth and stomped her foot: she would stay in Shenzhen to await childbirth, give birth, and work. In this life, she would never be a left-behind mother again!
