Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 374 - 3: Child-Rearing Strategy (3)

Thank you, "Heart as vast as the sea" classmate, for the reward, mwah!

************************

Some people are extremely selfish, and their thoughts are equally self-centered.

She never considered that if the original owner didn’t have a background, just an ordinary person, would her child be taken away, never to return, as the girl thought?

How desperate would a mother be to lose her own child?

Did the girl ever think about this? She only thought about being sent to prison herself.

But after breaking the law, isn’t going to prison normal?

The child was found and returned because of other’s abilities, it had nothing to do with her, so why let her go?

The girl didn’t have a good time in prison, pouring all her hatred onto the original owner.

Because of the child-stealing incident, after being released, she couldn’t stay in the town anymore, and soon, she left the small town to wander outside.

When she returned to the small town in old age, she always regretted why she was with that hooligan. If she could do it over, she’d surely live a good life.

Unexpectedly, she really got to do it over, back to when she was still at home, before going to the neighboring town, before meeting the hooligan.

In a few more months, she would be heading to the neighboring town, the turning point of her life.

After coming back, she carefully observed the woman with the child and realized how ridiculous she used to be.

This woman, she was a military wife, no wonder when the child was taken, they could find the child so quickly.

She heard from the town people that the woman’s husband held quite a high position in the army, though something seemed to have happened recently, and he hadn’t appeared for a long time.

She felt her opportunity had come. She wanted to get close to the woman. This woman’s family seemed well-off; befriending her would surely be beneficial, right? Most importantly, she harbored some ill intentions, perhaps one day she could even seek revenge?

She did not want to tread the same old path again.

Sure enough, with her deliberate attempts to please, she easily became good friends with the woman and even occasionally gave her some money.

The girl increasingly didn’t want to go out to work anymore; the working days were indeed too exhausting.

She also desired to live a prosperous life.

So she devised a plan, finding someone to snatch the child. They agreed it was just a prank, but she pretended bravely and retrieved the child.

The woman treated her increasingly better, and she was amazed that the woman’s family seemed not simple, and her spending seemed endless.

When the woman treated her well, there was a hidden glee in her heart. In the past life, you treated me that way, and now, didn’t I make you dance in circles for my amusement?

Soon after, she accidentally ran into that hooligan.

The hooligan’s eyes went wide at the sight of her.

The girl just felt disgusted and again thought of her past life; she thought of that tall and upright man once more.

Her eyes flickered with an idea.

Living with the woman for some time, she knew that the woman went to the army regularly, very routinely.

The woman was so beautiful, yet people from the neighboring town didn’t know her identity.

Her last life was so miserable, so let this woman also taste that despair.

The girl knew some of the hooligan’s habits, she wrote a note, disguised herself a little, and slipped it into the hooligan’s room.

She maneuvered to lure the hooligan over, the note saying things about the woman being a widow, extremely beautiful, without any support, and if he did that deed, she’d definitely be wholeheartedly devoted.

The hooligan, being naturally lecherous, found it hard to believe at first upon seeing the note.

However, the note also mentioned he could check her out beforehand, so he followed the note’s directions and saw the original owner at the market, indeed amazed by her beauty.

Thus, with the time settled on the note, he had to go.

In her past life, the girl knew that hooligan was unscrupulous, and she even knew he had some messy drugs on hand.

On that day, planning to go witness the scene, she thought, why not watch the drama unfold? Besides, she could use it as a future bargaining chip.

After the original owner left, she also left, taking the child back home, then stealthily following behind the woman, and indeed saw the hooligan abducting the woman.

Initially, she thought if the woman was violated, she’d surely feel filthy, and by then, if she exposed the matter, this woman could never be with a man again.

The original intention was just that, but upon seeing the woman actually set fire, perishing together with the hooligan, the girl finally panicked somewhat.

She fled home in a hurry, returning the child to the woman’s home, uneasy and restless.

Yet, calming down, she laughed, wasn’t this a good opportunity?

Next day, she took the child to the army to find the woman, saying she disappeared.

Sure enough, not long after, a lot of people came to the house.

The child cried continuously, but stopped with her around, without the woman, the child depended solely on her.

She didn’t know what those people found through investigation, but it surely had nothing to do with her, be it tracking or the note-dump, she had specially disguised herself, no one could recognize her.

Later, she inexplicably went with people to Capital City.

She also witnessed the power of the woman’s husband’s family.

Afterward, all sorts of events in the plot unfolded.

Li Shuning sighed, this woman, with no sense of decency, utterly ungrateful.

The original owner treated her well enough.

Both past and present, she harmed her, yet what did the other do to her?

The baby cried again, this time from hunger.

The original owner seemed to have weaned the baby quite early, feeding mostly rice soup and giving egg daily.

This also avoided some awkwardness. If she had to nurse him, it really would...

Rice soup after all has limited nutrition.

Li Shuning took out some milk powder from the Qiankun Ring. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This milk powder belonged to well-known brands; Li Shuning prepared in case of emergency, after all, who knows what kind of Task World she’d enter, when buying things for her baby in reality, she had some of each stage as backups.

There were also some zinc supplements, iron supplements, lactoferrin, and the like.

However, this world certainly didn’t have these milk powder brands.

Li Shuning took out a box dedicated to storing milk powder, chose a type, and poured all the milk powder from the can into the box.

She prepared the milk powder for the child to drink; it tasted much better than rice paste, and the child drank happily.

Li Shuning glanced around the room, stood up. In a few days, that woman would come looking for her.

Li Shuning smiled slightly, then let’s play it well.

A woman taking care of a child alone, though tiring, wasn’t exhausting; the baby was well-behaved, and Li Shuning rather enjoyed the fulfilling days, revolving around the child, every moment joyous.

Especially when the child looked at you with a smile on their face, so adorably, that woman could still lay hands on such a cute baby, truly inhumane.

These days, whenever Li Shuning had time, she put away all the valuables in the house, including the milk powder and trace nutrient supplements.

That woman, truly something shameless, the original owner gave her things, she took them all, even at times when she saw good stuff, she’d ask for them herself.
