Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 13 - Automatic Improvement

Zhen Yan was playing with Han Jiaoyang outside the door, and when he saw his sister come out, he promptly ran over to her with a bounce in his step.

He asked eagerly, "Can we go home now?!"

Zhen Yu nodded and headed home first.

The yard was quiet. Zhen Yu entered the house and found Mrs. Zhen sitting on the edge of the kang bed in the living room, holding a green certificate and weeping.

Zhen Yu stood in the middle of the living room, silently watching her, without saying a word.

"Mom! Did he bully you again?" Zhen Yan quickly rushed over from behind Zhen Yu, sat down next to Mrs. Zhen, wrapped his arms over her shoulders, and asked.

"No! Your dad has agreed," Mrs. Zhen sobbed before adding, "He's going to have someone move the goods from the shop tomorrow."

"Then why are you crying? The faster he moves it, the better!" Ever since Mr. Zhen left that night, Zhen Yan no longer addressed him as 'Dad.'

"But once he's taken the goods, what will we sell? What will us three eat and drink?" After setting the terms with Mr. Zhen and ousting him, Mrs. Zhen was worrying about doing business.

"We'll just restock, won't we? What's so hard about that?" Zhen Yan immediately said.

"Ah, my son! Do you know how much capital is required to restock our shop's worth of goods?" Mrs. Zhen sighed at her son's ignorance of household expenses.

"Let's switch businesses!" The girl, who stood not far away, suddenly spoke up, her calm voice exuding determination.

"Switch businesses? What would we sell?" Mrs. Zhen asked in surprise.

"Sell shoes. How much savings do we have?"

"A little over ten thousand, the money at home was split half each."

"That's enough."

"But we've never done this business before, I don't even know where to restock from!"

"Mom! You go handle the business license tomorrow, then find someone to make some shelves, and afterward I'll take you to stock up!"

"You? When have you ever been out? How would you know where to restock?" Mrs. Zhen was obviously skeptical.

Zhen Yu no longer spoke and went into the small bedroom.

Shortly, she came out with a piece of paper and handed it to Mrs. Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen understood the design on the paper at a glance, but...

"These shelves are completely open, won't the shoes get dirty from people touching them?" Zhen Yan started to complain after looking at the drawing.

"Afraid of touching shoes?" Zhen Yu paused and then said, "The shelves are placed against three walls, and a narrow carpet is laid on the ground next to the shelves, so people can stand on it when trying shoes."

Mrs. Zhen imagined it.

And she had to admit! In such a setting, if she saw a nice pair, she would also not resist trying on a pair.

"Okay! Let's do it as Xiao Yu says! We'll stock less inventory at first to test the waters!"

"Okay, as you wish." Zhen Yu left these words behind and went straight to the small bedroom to read.

"Mom? Are we really going to listen to my sister?" Zhen Yan did not expect Mrs. Zhen to be persuaded by his sister in just a few words.

"If not her, then you give me an idea!" Mrs. Zhen retorted to her son and stood up to make lunch.

Zhen Yan stood up, rolled his eyes, and began to set the table and plates.

After lunch, Zhen Yu lay in bed and calculated; she should have accumulated another 100 Knowledge Points, and decided to check.

Sure enough, her ability points/Knowledge Points now read 1/2.

Without hesitation, she continued to add to Memory; the thought flashed by, and the 'Memory' displayed in the interface changed to 52.

At this rate, once school starts, her memory should be able to reach over 70, which ought to be enough for a junior high school student.

After all, she spoke Mandarin so fluently and it was only at 80...

In the afternoon, Zhen Yu still went over to Han Mingyue's house. He had already organized the textbooks.

That night when she went home, Zhen Yu brought all the textbooks home except for Chinese, Math, and English—the three main subjects—and memorized them at home.

For the following continuous week, even though Mrs. Zhen didn't need to look after the shop, she was busy from dawn to dusk.

Zhen Yu, on the other hand, spent the entire day in Han Mingyue's room, learning first-year junior high school knowledge.

She called it studying, but it was really just memorizing formulas and texts, and doing some exercises.

Han Youliang and his wife, upon hearing that their eldest son was assisting Zhen Yu in advance for junior high school courses, were very supportive, even strictly ordering Han Jiaoyang not to disturb the two's study time in the brother's room.

Thus, Zhen Yu spent a rare 'leisurely' seven days since her rebirth.

On the evening of the seventh day after dinner, Mrs. Zhen called to her, "Xiao Yu, I've already cleared out the shop. Come with me tomorrow to take a look!"

"Sure!"

Mrs. Zhen looked at her daughter standing not far in front of her, silent and unsmiling, with a stoic face, unable to understand why she had become this lifeless.

With an 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude, she waved her hand at her like chasing away a fly, dismissing her away.

The son ran out to play right after dinner, and the daughter was not sympathetic at all. Mrs. Zhen sat alone in the empty living room, and suddenly felt overwhelmed with sorrow.

She had never expected her loving husband of over ten years to have an affair, especially bringing that woman home to confront her right after their son had nearly drowned.

She felt as if she had been slapped in the face, utterly humiliated! She lost all her dignity and self-respect!

Just the night before, he had still dined with the entire Han Youliang family, not showing the slightest hint of anything amiss at the dinner table.

Thinking of Han Youliang, Mrs. Zhen suddenly felt indignant! They were sworn brothers; could it be that he had known all along and deliberately covered for him?!

Of course, he would save Xiao Yan, that bastard Zhen Hailong's offspring! Coming over for drinks that night, he might have been secretly mocking her in his heart!

No, she could not associate with him anymore! Tomorrow she would tell Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu that they were forbidden from ever stepping foot in the Han family's house again!

With this, Mrs. Zhen made up her mind resolutely.

Zhen Yu had no idea about any of this; she had studied until midnight again, as she had already gotten used to staying up late prior to her rebirth.

After washing up and lying in bed, she opened the panel and let out a light 'huh'.

Apart from the Memory that she had manually upgraded, values in several other areas had automatically improved.

Zhen Yu carefully pondered the three data points that had improved and realized that she could raise her stats through her own effort. After giving it some thought, it seemed completely logical. Becoming better through one's own effort was the most normal way to progress!
