Transmigrated as a Mother: Striving to Become a Winner — Chapter 1

PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU...

PLEASE... JUST LET ME SEE MY CHILD...

SU YANG'S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER, SU QIAN

IT'S NOT THAT I'M REFUSING TO LET YOU SEE HIM. IT'S JUST THAT THE CHILD HIMSELF DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU.

SU YANG'S STEPMOTHER, ZHOU QIANG

N-NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. YOU MUST BE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE. GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!

ENOUGH!

YOU CRAZY WOMAN! DON'T BOTHER MY MOM EVER AGAIN.

SU YANG

SU YANG, YOU CALLED HER MOM?! NO, I'M YOUR MOTHER!

YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE MY MOTHER. ALL YOU EVER CARED ABOUT WAS STUDYING. YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME!

WHY ARE THERE STILL SO MANY UNFINISHED? DON'T SLEEP YET. KEEP WRITING FOR A WHILE.

I STUDIED UNTIL TWO IN THE MORNING JUST FOR MY STUDIES, AND EVEN THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU.

IT'S JUST A MINOR INJURY, SO DON'T MAKE A FUSS. HURRY UP AND APOLOGIZE, THEN GO HOME AND STUDY. YOU CAN'T FALL BEHIND ON TODAY'S HOMEWORK.

...I'M SORRY.

I HAD TO PUT UP WITH BEING BULLIED BY MY CLASSMATES JUST BECAUSE OF MY STUDIES.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY CLASSMATES CALL ME AT SCHOOL? A SHAMELESS LITTLE BASTARD WHO CAN ONLY APOLOGIZE!

DON'T TALK NONSENSE. MY SU YANG ISN'T LIKE THAT. MOM WON'T LET ANYONE MAKE YOU SUFFER ANYMORE.

THANK YOU, MOM. YOU'RE THE BEST.

THAT'S NOT IT! I'M YOUR REAL MOTHER! I'M THE ONE WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT YOU—

JUST GET LOST. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.

UGHHH-

WHY? WHY DID IT TURN OUT LIKE THIS?

EVERYTHING I DID WAS CLEARLY FOR MY CHILD...

YOU CAN'T EVEN READ A SINGLE BIG CHARACTER, AND YOU TAKE FOREVER JUST TO MOP THE FLOOR. YOU'RE USELESS. WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY ACCOMPLISH IN THIS LIFE?

WE'RE JUST AN ORDINARY FAMILY. STUDYING IS THE ONLY WAY OUT. I ONLY WANTED YOU TO HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE...

WHAT KIND OF MOTHER IS THIS?! AND SHE EVEN HAS THE SAME NAME AS ME! THIS IS SO INFURIATING.

SHE THOUGHT THAT AS LONG AS HER CHILD STUDIED WELL, HE'D HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE, BUT COMPLETELY IGNORED HIS MENTAL WELL-BEING,

AND ENDED UP COMPLETELY RUINING THE CHILD. NO WONDER HE CHOSE A STEPMOTHER.

IF IT WERE ME, I'D MAKE SURE OF THE CHILD'S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING FIRST, THEN WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE!

HUH?!

PLEASE, HELP ME...

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WASN'T I JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SUPPORTING FEMALE CHARACTER IN A STEPMOTHER NOVEL AT HOME? WHERE IS THIS? MY HEAD HURTS SO MUCH... DO I HAVE A FEVER?

HELLO?

SU YANG GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH ANOTHER CHILD. SU YANG'S MOTHER, COULD YOU COME OVER?

SU YANG'S MOTHER? COULD I HAVE TRANSMIGRATED INTO SU QIAN, THE CANNON-FODDER SUPPORTING FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE STEPMOTHER NOVEL WHO HAS THE SAME NAME AS ME?

A WOODEN DESK, A SMALL PENDANT LIGHT... THE SETTING MATCHES THE DESCRIPTIONS IN THE NOVEL TOO.

WHAT A DETAILED SCHEDULE. ASIDE FROM WORK, IT'S ALL CENTERED AROUND THE CHILD.

7:00-7:30 PREPARE BREAKFAST, MILK AND FRIED EGGS

7:30-8:00 TAKE THE CHILD TO SCHOOL AND REMIND HIM TO PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS

8:00-12:00 WORK AND EARN MONEY, TRY TO MAKE AN EXTRA 100 YUAN THIS MONTH TO BUY HIM SNACKS

12:00-12:30 LUNCH, SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATOES, YANGYANG'S FAVORITE (A STAR ICON CAN BE ADDED)

4:30 PICK UP THE CHILD AND ASK THE TEACHER ABOUT HOW HE'S DOING...

IT SEEMS THAT ASIDE FROM PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE CHILD ACADEMICALLY, THE ORIGINAL SU QIAN REALLY DID PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO HIS FOOD, CLOTHING, HOUSING, AND TRANSPORTATION.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY MOM ALSO CONSTANTLY URGED ME TO STUDY, HOPING I'D HAVE A GOOD FUTURE.

HOW'S YOUR HOMEWORK COMING ALONG? YOU DID SO POORLY ON THE TEST AGAIN. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IN THE FUTURE?!

WHY ARE YOU PLAYING WITH THOSE STRIPS OF FABRIC AGAIN... SIGH, IF YOU REALLY CAN’T LEARN IT, FORGET IT. MOM WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO SEW CLOTHES.

BUT SHE NEVER PRESSURED ME TO STUDY THE WAY THE ORIGINAL SU QIAN DID. SHE CARED ABOUT WHAT I LIKED TOO, BUT SHE NEVER DUMPED ALL HER EXPECTATIONS ONTO ME.

FASHION WEEK LEAD DESIGNER

SU QIAN

SO EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T ACHIEVE GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL, I MANAGED TO MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY THROUGH MY OWN EFFORTS.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE ORIGINAL SU QIAN’S DESIRE FOR HER CHILD TO SUCCEED.

BUT NOW THAT I’M HERE, I’LL SHOW THE CHILD THAT THERE’S MORE THAN ONE PATH TO SUCCESS. I’M LIVING PROOF.

SO FROM NOW ON, LEAVE THE TASK OF EDUCATING LITTLE SU YANG TO ME!

BUT... IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY,

I'M ONLY TWENTY YEARS OLD, AND THIS RIDICULOUS EIGHTY-YEAR-OLD- LOOKING OUTFIT IS REALLY SOMETHING. NO WONDER THE CHILD WAS CONSTANTLY MOCKED BY HIS CLASSMATES BECAUSE OF HIS MOTHER'S CLOTHES IN THE NOVEL.

LET ME GIVE YOU A MAKEOVER!

DONE! NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE FUN OF MY CHILD ANYMORE.

YANGYANG, MOMMY'S HERE~

WHY IS SHE SUDDENLY DRESSED SO NICELY TODAY?

WOW... IS THIS SU YANG? HE'S SUCH A HANDSOME LITTLE BOY!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

SHE CAN'T HELP ME ANYWAY. IT WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER IF SHE HADN'T COME...

I'M YOUR MOM. HOW COULD I NOT COME WHEN YOU WERE HURT?

THIS CHILD... HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING AFTER GETTING HURT. IT BREAKS MY HEART JUST LOOKING AT HIM.

STOP PRETENDING! AREN'T YOU ONLY HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE WORRIED MY INJURY WILL INTERFERE WITH MY STUDIES?

YOU DIDN'T GET HURT ON PURPOSE JUST TO PRETEND YOU WERE IN PAIN AND AVOID STUDYING, DID YOU?

YOU...

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE ORIGINAL SU QIAN GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH SU YANG OVER HIS INJURY,

THEN SHE FORCED SU YANG TO APOLOGIZE TO HIS CLASSMATE, WHICH LED TO HIM BEING MOCKED BY HIS CLASSMATES AND BECOMING WITHDRAWN.

THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO START REPAIRING THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

MOMMY DIDN'T MEAN THAT. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR HEALTH. DOES YOUR WOUND STILL HURT?

...WHY IS SHE BEING SO GENTLE TODAY? AND SHE'S NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT STUDYING?

STOP WORRYING ABOUT ME. JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,

YOUR HAND IS SO HOT. DIDN'T I TELL YOU BEFORE SCHOOL THAT THE FEVER MEDICINE WAS IN THE CABINET BY THE DOOR? DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT?

THE LITTLE GUY REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS MOM.

THANK YOU FOR WORRYING ABOUT MOMMY, YANGYANG.

Y-YOU, LET GO OF ME.

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO HER TODAY? DID SHE TAKE THE WRONG MEDICINE?!

PROTECT ME? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD MOM SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT...

WHAT? ARE YOU TOUCHED, YANGYANG?

NOT AT ALL. WHO NEEDS YOU TO PROTECT ME?
