Chapter 263 The Awakening of a Single Mother (Part 19)

Sometimes when Wenchan is tired, she likes to sit by the window and gaze at the scenery outside for a long time.

Many strange ideas pop into her little head, but she herself doesn't know what she's thinking.

She would occasionally throw a tantrum, thinking that maybe she should just find another man, as raising a child alone was too hard.

However, once they come to their senses, they will continue to endure it for the sake of their children.

When Wenchan is in a bad mood, she also hates children, but after she hates them, she is shocked and amazed at how she could have such a thought.

Then she would stare at the child, and as she looked, tears would fall like beads from a broken string.

Wen Chan would sometimes suddenly feel dazed, thinking that she hadn't had any time for herself to relax in a long time, didn't have any friends, and didn't have anyone who loved her very much.

In a fleeting moment, Wenchan suddenly felt that life was incredibly boring.

Sometimes she would get a sudden urge to tidy herself up, take a clean shower, change into a pretty outfit, and go out for a walk. But once she was out the door, she didn't know where to go or who to look for.

Wen Chan often falls into a depressed mood, thinking about all sorts of things, and then becomes depressed for a long time.

However, as long as Wen Chan watches Ah Xuan grow up day by day, she feels that everything is worthwhile.

After being reborn, Wen Chan finally understood that some things are unnecessary for a woman to insist on, and that it's really important to be good to herself.

Women, as long as they have money, they can have everything, as long as they don't overthink it.

The most important thing for a woman is not finding a good lover, but finding a good father for her child.

Ah Xuan needs a good father, and she also needs a man, preferably someone who is rich, good-looking, and has money to burn.

She hasn't had a man in a long time, and she's a bit imbalanced in terms of yin and yang.

Women can't live without men for long, otherwise they'll suffer too much both physically and mentally!

.........

After explaining things to Lu Shaoqing, Wen Chan happily went to work.

After her husband passed away, Wen Chan has always been alone in both her past and present lives, never having dated a man, so she is unaware of the troubles of having a boyfriend.

After starting a relationship, Wenchan felt like she was being rushed to complete a task whenever she went on a date.

That would be too restrictive, like being shackled. Wenchan would hate that feeling.

Now that things are clear with Lu Shaoqing, Wen Chan's daily routine consists of going to work, taking her son to school, and waiting for him to come home.

I don't have to work overtime in the evenings, so I have extra time to take my son for a stroll in the square. After the stroll, I come back and help my son with his homework.

This relaxed and carefree life is what Wenchan likes, and it makes her feel much more at ease.

If she had a boyfriend, Wen Chan probably wouldn't even have this little bit of free time to herself; she'd have to deal with her boyfriend, like completing a task.

Of course, Lu Shaoqing's visit to Wen Chan's house wasn't unnoticed. Later, some people asked Wen Chan if he was her boyfriend.

Wenchan neither denied nor admitted it, only saying that they were friends. In other people's eyes, this was both an excuse for being embarrassed to admit it and a way of explaining it.

That day, Wen Chan had just finished cooking when she saw Ah Xuan with a happy smile on his face.

Wen Chan laughed along with her and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy? What happy thing happened today? Tell Mommy about it."

Ah Xuan casually tossed his schoolbag, which landed squarely on the sofa. When he heard his mother ask him a question, he excitedly began to gesture for her.

He excitedly exclaimed, "Hey, it's nothing much, it's just that our school is holding a campus dance competition, and my classmate can do street dance. He wanted to sign up, and he showed us his dance on the way back. Wow, he danced really cool!"

Seeing that Ah Xuan was so interested, Wen Chan asked him half-jokingly, "Do you want to learn? If you do, Mom will find you a dance class that specializes in street dance."

"Really? I'd like to learn, but I'm afraid I won't learn it well." Actually, the main concern is the cost.

Ah Xuan recalled his classmate's smooth movements and fluid rhythm when he was street dancing... It was so cool!

He really wanted to learn, but he was worried that his mother worked hard to earn money, and it didn't seem necessary to spend money specifically to learn street dance for him.

Wen Chan saw through her son's thoughts and stopped asking questions. She simply invited him to come and eat.

At the dinner table, Wen Chan said with a smile, "Ah Xuan, if we like something, we should try our best to get it. Don't think about those other things. Just keep going. How will you know if it's worth it if you don't try? The key is whether you like it or not."

Wenxuan glanced at his mother, who continued eating without looking at him. After thinking for a while, he blinked and asked, "What if I suddenly don't want to study anymore halfway through? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Wen Chan said slowly, "If you truly liked it from the beginning, why would you give up halfway?"

“There must be a reason why you give up halfway. Since you’ve already given up, there’s no need to persist. But you need to think it through before making a decision. I don’t want my son to be only enthusiastic for a short time.”

Wen Chan didn't want to give Ah Xuan a guilty-style lesson, or say things like how hard it is to earn money; she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

If she says to her son, "Mom works hard to earn money, so you should be careful with your spending," or "Our family doesn't have much money, so just watch your classmates jump, don't think about spending money to learn," then it's a mistake.

How can she still have the nerve to say she loves her child? This isn't love; this is PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics on her child.

If parents constantly complain to their children, how can the children possibly have confidence in front of their friends?

Isn't this a sign that the parents are unambitious, pouring their own bitterness into their children's hearts, hoping that the children will be successful in the future and repay their parents?

A child with a conscience will see his parents' hard work and feel sorry for them; a child without a conscience will not listen to anything you say to him.

She didn't want her son to think that their family was poor, that they couldn't buy or see anything outside, and that they couldn't like anything.

Just imagining that scene made Wen Chan feel suffocated for her son; she didn't want him to have any burdens at such a young age.

Ah Xuan scratched his head, "But in our family, only Mom earns money to support us. We also have to buy clothes, pay tuition, material fees, living expenses, and so on. After all that, there's definitely not much left."

After finishing her meal, Wen Chan put down her bowl and said earnestly, "Mom can still set up a stall at the night market in her spare time after get off work. If you feel sorry for Mom's hard work, you can help her too."

Setting up a street stall should be very profitable now, but Wen Chan has never tried it. Her obsession from her past life is her current job, so Wen Chan will not give up her current job.

"What do we like? If we have the means, we'll go for it; if we don't, we'll create the means. Isn't that what it means to live—to have that drive, right?"

Ah Xuan nodded thoughtfully after hearing his mother's encouraging words.
