From Broken Family to Life Winner: A Reborn Mother's Journey

When Little Tang Mo did those things before, he hadn’t thought much about it. He simply wanted to catch the bad guys and save the children younger than him. To him, those things weren’t particularly difficult.

But seeing everyone’s reactions, it seemed like he had truly done something incredible.

Although Su Li had called him a little genius, and his teachers and classmates had also praised him for being brilliant, he had never felt it so profoundly before.

He just felt that the things his classmates found difficult weren’t hard at all; they were quite simple and easy.

It wasn’t until these past few days that Little Tang Mo finally came to a clear realization: he really was... well, a little amazing.

’Since I’m a bit more capable than everyone else, I should do a bit more—something that can truly help people.’

That way, he wouldn’t feel so embarrassed when facing all those adults.

Yes, Little Tang Mo had actually been embarrassed the whole time.

He had only helped those younger children out of the kindness he had been taught since he was small, never expecting to receive so much gratitude from them.

And so, the gratitude from those adults, the look in their eyes, and everything he had seen these past few days were what sparked this impulse in him.

To call it an impulse wasn’t quite right; it was more of an indescribable, heavy sense of responsibility.

This slightly heavy responsibility was a foreign feeling to Little Tang Mo.

But he didn’t dislike the feeling. In fact, it even stirred an unfamiliar passion and drive within him.

Little Tang Mo couldn’t put this complex feeling into words, but he didn’t reject it.

”Mom, if we had this thing, not as many people would be abducted in the future. And even if they were, we could find them quickly...”

Everything Little Tang Mo was describing was pure fantasy in this era, especially coming from an eight-year-old child.

Most people who heard it would probably say Little Tang Mo was crazy or that he was just daydreaming.

But Su Li didn’t. As she listened, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, shining with astonishing light.

Little Tang Mo spoke excitedly, and encouraged by Su Li’s shining eyes, he poured out all his ideas, even explaining what led him to think of them.

”...Mom, you always say I’m smart, so I wanted to use my intelligence to do something...”

As he spoke, Little Tang Mo rubbed his head, a little embarrassed.

Watching Little Tang Mo and listening to his words, Su Li almost burst into tears.

She was just so moved, so proud.

’My Little Tang Mo, my Little Tang Mo... I didn’t raise him wrong.’

After hearing what Little Tang Mo said today, Su Li was certain that not only had she not raised him wrong, but she had raised him exceptionally well.

’This child... he’s so wonderful.’

With great power comes great responsibility.

So-called geniuses, because of their capabilities, must naturally bear greater responsibilities.

And at such a young age, Little Tang Mo was already thinking about how to use his talents to do more, rather than looking down on others or acting recklessly just because he was brilliant...

How could she not be proud?

Su Li was so overwhelmed with emotion that for a moment, she couldn’t speak.

After Little Tang Mo finished his excited speech and saw that Su Li didn’t reply right away, he calmed down a bit, and his gaze grew hesitant.

A child’s world is always full of imagination, their wishes the most extravagant. Their desires are powerful. They hope to grow up to be scientists or other amazing experts, indulge in wild fantasies of becoming unrivaled martial arts heroes, or dream of flying through the sky...

Faced with such ideas, adults would just laugh and say, ”Silly child...”

Thinking of this, Little Tang Mo pressed his lips together. ”Mom... Am I being...”

’Am I being a little silly? Am I just indulging in wild fantasies like those adults said?’

Just as Little Tang Mo was about to lower his head, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder, and he heard Su Li’s voice.

”I believe in you, Little Mo. I believe you can do it!”

’Mom’s voice... It’s as excited and hopeful as mine, as if she really thinks I can do it...’

Little Tang Mo looked up in disbelief and saw Su Li’s excited face and her shining eyes.

”Mom...” Little Tang Mo’s heart suddenly started to THUMP-THUMP. ”Mom, are you serious? Can I really do it?”

”You can, Little Mo, you can!” Su Li nodded emphatically.

Su Li didn’t know about other children, but Little Tang Mo could!

This was Little Tang Mo. How could he possibly not be able to do it!

If he said he wanted to, then he could!

Although she didn’t know how long it would take, Su Li believed Little Tang Mo could do it!

After leaving the stage yesterday, Little Tang Mo had been distracted, constantly thinking about this matter.

Last night, he had thought about it until the middle of the night before finally falling asleep, and then he woke up early again this morning.

After waking up, he thought about what he wanted to do. The more he thought, the more excited he became, waiting for Su Li to wake up so he could tell her and hopefully get her approval.

But now that he actually had Su Li’s approval—and such an affirmative one at that—Little Tang Mo found it a little unreal.

”M-Mom...” Little Tang Mo started to stutter for some reason. ”C-Can... Can I really do it?”

Su Li cupped Little Tang Mo’s small face, overflowing with love.

”Of course, of course you can do it! Who are you? You’re Tang Mo! Our little genius, Tang Mo!”

Su Li was just as excited as Little Tang Mo now. She thought about the functions he described; they were simply incredible.

”Little Mo, Mom supports you in this. Whatever you need, you can tell me. I’ll support you with everything I have.”

Su Li took a deep breath. ”Whether it’s studying, research, or even going abroad, I’ll support you!”

She would work harder to earn money, lots and lots of money, to support Little Tang Mo and let him do what he wanted to do!

Before, it was Su Li who was excited and proud after hearing Little Tang Mo’s words. Now, it was Little Tang Mo’s turn to be excited.

He looked at Su Li, then suddenly threw himself into her arms, his small hands wrapping around her neck.

”Mom, you’re the best.”

His mom was the best mom in the world.

”Of course I am.” Su Li smiled so widely her eyes crinkled shut. ”Little Mo, I’ll always support you. What you were saying earlier...”

Su Li enthusiastically began to discuss the thing he wanted to make with Little Tang Mo.

The functions Little Tang Mo had mentioned earlier did exist in later generations, such as GPS tracking and automatic alarms...

As Su Li and Little Tang Mo discussed it, Little Tang Mo grew even more delighted and excited to hear that his mother not only supported him but could also contribute so much to the idea.

The world would never imagine that the anti-trafficking system, later dubbed ’The Most Appreciated Invention,’ had its beginnings on a morning just like this, with a mother and son discussing it on the sofa before they had even washed their faces.

This whole day, the mother and son duo, Su Li and Little Tang Mo, were in a state of high excitement.

Little Tang Mo wrote down his ideas and what he had told Su Li, then carefully put the notes away like a treasure.

Su Li took stock of her assets, unable to stop herself from fantasizing about the moment Little Tang Mo succeeded. She couldn’t have been happier.

After a full day of joy and excitement, Su Li finally regained some of her rationality the next day.

’Little Tang Mo’s idea is wonderful,’ she thought, ’but to make it a reality, shouldn’t I find him a teacher first?’

Not an ordinary teacher, not the kind of teacher Little Tang Mo had always had from his books, but a teacher who specialized in physics and related subjects.
