Chapter 56: She Can't Be Allowed to Live a Good Life

But this wasn’t something she could do alone.

“Mom, I have something to tell you—”

“What is it?”

Bai Siqi leaned in close to her mother’s ear and revealed her plan in full detail.

After hearing her out, Mother Bai’s eyes widened in shock.

“This, this won’t do—”

If something went wrong, wouldn’t she be finished?

“Mom, why not? Fu Mingxue set me up—why can’t I get revenge? If she gets kidnapped by traffickers, who would ever suspect it was us?”

“If she’s taken by traffickers, I can take her university acceptance letter and go to college in her place. Once I graduate, I’ll get a job assignment and bring the whole family to the capital to enjoy a good life.”

“Besides, my brother’s reputation in this town has been ruined by Fu Mingxue and her mother. Even if he gets out, it’ll be hard for him to find a wife. But if we move to the capital, who would know about his past?”

“Then we can find him a job, and you can pick any daughter-in-law you like for him.”

Just hearing this, Mother Bai could picture how wonderful it would be.

It was like Siqi was speaking straight to her heart.

Every part of the plan was tempting.

But after the initial rush, her mind cooled a bit. “But, I don’t know any traffickers. Where would I even find one? Am I supposed to go looking on a train?”

Just thinking about it made her shudder.

She couldn’t do something like this.

Others might not know, but Bai Siqi, with memories from her previous life, had someone in mind.

“Mom, I know who can do it. There’s an old woman surnamed Wang on the west side of town—people call her Granny Wang. She looks kind and gentle, but I heard she’s in that business. You go talk to her.”

Mother Bai was stunned. “What? Granny Wang? She’s a trafficker?”

“Wait, how do you know that?”

“Mom, don’t worry about how I know. Just go find her. Be discreet—don’t let anyone see you.”

Being reborn was strange enough—she could tell Song Yan, but she’d never tell her mother.

After all, Song Yan liked her and only had eyes for her.

But her mother was different—her mother’s favorite was always her big brother!

“—Isn’t this a bit much?” Mother Bai was still hesitant.

Finding a trafficker to sell Fu Mingxue—just thinking about it was chilling.

If something happened, wouldn’t she be an accomplice?

Bai Siqi was angry when she heard this.

“Mom, who are you sympathizing with? Think about my brother—he might never get out. It was Fu Mingxue and her mother who ruined him.”

Sure enough, as soon as her son was mentioned, Mother Bai’s expression changed.

She gritted her teeth. “If they started it, then they can’t blame me.”

Bai Siqi smiled. “Then it’s settled, Mom. I’m heading out.”

“Wait, I still think this isn’t a good idea. Did you forget about Fu Mingxue’s man? I heard he’s pretty powerful!”

Bai Siqi’s breath caught.

If her mother hadn’t brought it up, she wouldn’t have thought of it—but now, she was even more determined.

She absolutely couldn’t let Fu Mingxue live a good life.

“Mom, there are so many traffickers—how many ever get caught? Granny Wang is smart, and she has three sons, all of them tough.”

“No matter how powerful Fu Mingxue’s man is, he’s far away. What can he do?”

“Who would risk everything to look for a woman he just married? Is it really that hard to find another wife these days?”

Mother Bai thought it over and agreed.

She gritted her teeth. “Fine, I’ll go talk to her.”

Bai Siqi nodded in satisfaction.

That’s how it should be.

The only reason she knew Granny Wang was a trafficker was because, years later, Granny Wang’s whole family was arrested.

The whole town was shocked."
