Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

"Xiaobing, are you going out? When will you be back? Auntie will be making lunch soon."

Bo Bing applied the medicine, dried her hair, put on Bo Yuntian's old black cotton coat, and stopped in her tracks.

Li Yumei is a diligent person; she has already arranged the clothes that were just washed in the old washing machine.

Bo Bing pursed her lips, feeling slightly apologetic.

"Auntie, don't cook, come out with us? We've been eating out all day."

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at Bo Bing. Normally, Bo Bing would never spend money to eat out after returning home.

"Alright, it's rare for Xiao Bing to come back, so Auntie will treat you brothers to a meal at a restaurant."

She noticed that Bo Bing looked unwell and assumed he was angry because he had been beaten by his father, so she eagerly offered to invite him to a meal.

In fact, Li Yumei lived a poor life, but she couldn't bear to leave the poor children.

Bo Bing came back this time intending to leave money for his family. Usually, the alcoholic would take most of it to buy alcohol and gamble, and even if he knew, he couldn't stop him.

But today, before he could even hand over the bank card containing his savings from half a year's wages, he was drowned by his drunken father. Naturally, Bo Bing, now that she's transmigrated, will never again have a single penny of advantage over Bo Xiaolong.

The drunk man threw his phone into the pool, and after soaking for so long, it's probably completely broken. He'll need to buy a new phone and get two SIM cards.

The city we're heading into is L City, which is perfect.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The bank here still holds some money he saved when he was a hauler in his previous life. Several cards are stored in an urn he bought for twenty-five yuan, which is placed in a memorial cabinet that he paid for himself at the cemetery.

The money wasn't a huge amount, but over the years he'd been hauling goods, the money he'd saved in several cities added up to a considerable sum, and even his closest friends were unaware of it.

Originally, I planned to work for a while and then go home to get money to live on, but I didn't expect the business to grow bigger and bigger. This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket, and it was quite troublesome to get it, so I never used it again.

Unexpectedly, it has now become working capital.

“No need, Auntie, I have money,” he said, showing the bank card he hadn’t yet handed over. “Use my money.”

“Then your dad…” Li Yumei hesitated. If she could, she really didn’t want to stay home alone and listen to the drunkard’s rant.

But she knew that Bo Bing always gave the money to Bo Xiaolong.

"Never mind him," Bo Bing said coldly. "He won't starve to death if he misses a meal or two, but that bastard almost killed me with a bottle he threw today."

Li Yumei felt that Bo Bing had been beaten badly this time. Such an obedient child, beaten like this—anyone would be furious. This child had been so obedient for so long that she had almost forgotten he was a grown man.

However, she felt that it was better for boys to be more assertive when they entered society, and that the boy had probably grown up after experiencing things on his own in the past six months.

Bo Yuntian knew about Bo Bing's condition. The wound on her head was shocking and almost unbearable to look at. The brain is a very delicate thing. If something had gone wrong, she would not be alive today.

His brother saw through the drunkard's true colors, which is a good thing.

"Brother, let's not talk about him anymore. I'll call my uncle and ask him to come pick us up and take us into the city." Bo Yuntian made the call before the two of them could speak.

Li Yumei had a very good relationship with her siblings. When they heard that she had been wronged, they almost broke Bo Xiaolong's legs.

"You silly child, it's the same if we take a bus into the city..."

“It’s nothing. My uncle said he’s nearby and has nothing to do. He wanted to ask if it was convenient for you to come over for a visit. I told him we were going into the city, and he said he just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a drive.”

The three of them went out the door and walked to the entrance of the village.

Soon, a silver-gray Wuling Hongguang van stopped in front of the three of them. The person who came in was Li Yumei's younger brother, Li Feng, who quickly opened the door when he saw his sister.

"Second sister, sit in the passenger seat, or you'll get carsick."

"Xiaofeng, thank you for your help."

"It's nothing, nothing," the dark-skinned man said, stroking his buzz cut. "Bo Xiaolong didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, it's just that poor Xiaobing. That guy almost smashed her head open with a bottle today," the woman sighed.

Bo Yuntian grinned and sidled up to Bo Bing, "Brother, where are we going?"

Li Feng glanced back and saw the young man wrapped in gauze. The young man's eyes, hidden beneath his bangs, were surprisingly deep, causing Li Feng to involuntarily swallow.

Bo Bing thought for a moment, "This is troublesome, let's go to Lantian Crematorium first."

Li Feng kept stealing glances at the young man behind him, who seemed completely different from usual. "The crematorium?"

"Let's get something, then we'll go into town."

"okay."

The group remained silent, understanding each other perfectly. It was the Blue Sky Crematorium; it was just a place to visit deceased grandparents during the Lunar New Year.

What kind of fruit would you like to buy?

"No need, there's incense inside, just stick it in."

Li Feng is quite thoughtful. Bo Bing thought that she wasn't there to see people, but to get a bank card, so she didn't need to buy anything. But she also couldn't say too much to strangers, so it was best to let them misunderstand.

Bo Bing acted quickly. The people inside, hearing that he was visiting relatives and had sold him some incense, let him in. He found the safe, confirmed there were no cameras around, entered the password, quickly took out the urn, and took the bank cards and cash inside.

He put the things back in, lit some incense, and got up to leave.

Clutching my belongings in my arms, my heart felt heavy. This was the first strange encounter between my past self and my present self.

I never imagined he would use the money in this way.

"You're back, Xiaobing. Where to now?"

Li Feng had already heard what had happened from his nephew, and he looked down on Bo Xiaolong even more, feeling sorry for the boy. He knew about Bo Bing's previous protection of the mother and son, and he still had a good impression of Bo Bing, who was young and working to support the family. A large part of the Bo family's expenses came from the money earned by this young man.

"The city's banks."

"Do you need to withdraw money?" Li Yumei asked anxiously, thinking the other person didn't have any. "Auntie brought some money..."

"I'll withdraw the money and open a bank account for Bo Yuntian."

Upon hearing this, all three of them looked at Bo Bing.

"Brother? What kind of card should I open?"

"From now on, the money will be deposited directly into your account. You'll be preparing for the college entrance exam when you start the second semester of your junior year," Bo Bing said, her dark eyes filled with a venomous aura. Her fleeting presence made Bo Yuntian involuntarily sit up straight.

“No need, how can Auntie take your money again…” Li Yumei was a little at a loss.

“This is the money I gave Xiaoyun for school. He still has a year and a half left. Next semester, we’ll rent a house in the city near the school, and Auntie will move there too,” Bo Bing continued. “Don’t worry about that lazybones.”

“But…” Li Yumei stammered.

Li Feng now realized that Bo Bing was truly breaking up with Bo Xiaolong.

He also knew that Bo Xiaolong was no good. Li Yumei had complained more than once that the drunkard would break things in the middle of the night, disturbing Xiaoyun's sleep.

The villagers knew that the college entrance examination was a big deal. The second sister's child was the smartest among his generation in the family. The village chief even said that if he could get into a good university, he would give Li Jiaqing a college degree!

How could we let Bo Xiaolong spoil the whole thing?

Li Feng made a quick decision, "Second Sister, Xiao Bing is right! We can't let Xiao Yun run around between the two places, it will affect her studies!"

Li Yumei takes her son's college entrance examination very seriously, but now she is having some hesitation.

"Just say it was our brothers who said that if he dares to come knocking on Xiaoyun's door, I'll make him pay!"

Li Yumei was still worried about the money, but she also knew that her child could no longer stay next to that drunkard who was prone to outbursts, so she was somewhat troubled.

Bo Yuntian hung his head, seemingly lost in thought.

When they arrived at the bank, Li Feng leaned against the car door and wisely said he wouldn't go in; he needed a cigarette.

Bo Yuntian followed Li Yumei to the window to apply for a card.

Bo Bing quickly gathered the funds from the several cards and divided the money into two portions.

One of them contained more than 50,000 yuan.

The other document contained more than 70,000 yuan.

He brought home a bank card with more than 8,000 yuan on it.

He put the card away and saw Bo Yuntian standing hesitantly beside him.

"elder brother?"

"Give me the card."

Bo Yuntian cautiously handed over the newly issued bank card, "Brother, actually I don't need to spend any money..."

"You're just a kid, what do you know? Study materials cost money, just buy the best ones," he said with a smile, patting the boy's fluffy head. He felt much better. "I can earn money now, I won't let you live a hard life anymore."

"Brother! I've told you I'm not a child anymore!"

Bo Yuntian straightened his hair and stomped his foot in anger.

But then I felt that this timid older brother had really changed. It wasn't just his demeanor that had changed, but also his intimate gestures. Even though the two brothers had a good relationship before, they had never interacted so unrestrainedly.

Li Yumei watched the two children playfully fighting with a sense of satisfaction.

They are all her good children.
