I sold it at 80% of the original price.
The buyer inspected the item and confirmed it was genuine.
The deal was completed.
I took the money and went to buy the latest model flip-phone.
The flip-phone was really cool!
Even though the smartphones I picked up were confiscated, I could buy them myself.
After the incident, I strictly followed my son's instructions.
I rummaged through the trash cans in town and picked up valuables!
I became a VIP member of the bank.
I wore fancy clothes.
I got my driver's license and bought a small car.
I applied for yoga classes and found my hobbies. When I had spare time, I would attend various classes.
I employed a nutritionist to take care of my meals.
I hired a nanny to take care of my daily needs.
I bought a villa, renovated it, and moved in.
I finally achieved my financial freedom from picking up trash.
As my belly grew, my son excitedly said, [I'm coming out soon. I'm so happy!]
I bathed under the sun on the balcony.
I asked curiously, "My son, are you reborn?"
[Yes, I am. When you found out you had me, you went and searched for my dad in the past.]
[Even though you were accepted into the family, you had a very rough life. My dad was displeased with you. After you had given birth, he had not once cared for you. Other people didn't know of your existence even though you were part of the rich family.]
[You had no status. Your days were tough.]
[As for me, I was an illegitimate baby. From now on, we shall stay away from the rich and live happily after.]
My heart ached.
I turned to my side and exposed my belly to the sunlight.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, my son."
Now I had enough money, I planned to leave after my son was born.
I would start a business instead of picking up trash.
If I kept doing this, I would get caught one day and lose all my money.
My son reassured me. [I've learnt everything I need in my past life, so let me handle the business. You just sit back and relax.]
I was moved to tears upon hearing that.
"You are a blessing to me."
Even though his words touched me, I would never let my kid handle everything on his own.
I hired a gynecologist to advise me on what to do to ensure a smooth delivery.
Following her instructions, I exercised daily and watched out for my weight.
Within just half an hour, my son was born. The entire process was fast and smooth.
After my son cried, I carried him back to my private room.
He babbled for a while.
Seeing that I didn't respond, he stopped.
I blinked my eyes and said, "My son, I can't seem to hear you anymore."
He continued to babble while moving his hands.
I finally understood. He was hungry. I quickly made and fed him milk.
I couldn't believe I had given birth to a diligent son.
He practiced hard day and night.
Other babies took a long time to learn to roll, crawl, and sit. It took him only nine months to be able to walk and run. He also started learning super early.
By the time he started kindergarten, he already mastered sixth-grade study.
At three years old, he skipped straight to fifth grade.
He was a child prodigy.
When I returned home from shopping, I found a strange man in my house.
This man and my son looked alike!
My heart was pounding like crazy!
