A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 4 New Life and Full Moon Banquet

Li Yuan held the baby in her arms. The little one was sleeping soundly in the swaddling clothes, his little face rosy, like a ripe little apple.

Today, Li Yuan has an important task: to take her daughter to apply for an ID card.

“Sweetie, you’ll have your own little card soon, and you’ll be a person with an identity from now on!” Li Yuan teased her daughter as they walked toward the police station.

When they arrived at the police station, the officer looked at the baby and said with a smile, "This little one is so cute, coming to apply for an ID card at such a young age?"

Li Yuan replied with a smile, "Yes, we have to get all these things done for her."

The procedures went smoothly, and Li Yuan felt incredibly happy looking at her daughter's name, "Li Shiqing," on the ID card. This name was like her beautiful expectation for her daughter's future, hoping her life would always be as bright and sunny as a clear day.

After leaving the police station, Li Yuan took her daughter back to her parents' home. As soon as she entered the house, it was quite a lively scene! Her parents and younger brother all gathered around.

"Oh my, my precious granddaughter (niece) is here!" Li Yuan's parents' eyes were squinted with laughter.

The younger brother joked from the side, "Sis, this little one is so cute and adorable. She'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty and charm a bunch of young men."

Li Yuan rolled her eyes at her younger brother: "Stop talking nonsense, she's still so young."

A few days later, the family began preparing for the full-moon celebration. This kept the Li family extremely busy, but everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

On the day of the full moon celebration, the house was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and relatives and friends all came. Li Yuan held her daughter as if she were a rare treasure.

At this moment, Li Yuan stood in front of everyone, cleared her throat, and said, "Dear friends and family, I have two things to tell you today. First, this is my precious daughter, Li Shiqing. Look at her, isn't she adorable? She'll need everyone to cherish her in the future! Second, my ex-husband and I are divorced, and now I need to tell you all about it. The house is mine; that's how the law stipulates it, and I didn't take advantage of him. This daughter, Li Shiqing, is also mine, and no one can take her away. Also, her surname isn't Wang; it's Li."

Everyone applauded in support.

But just then, her ex-husband Wang Qiang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the scene was like a cold wind suddenly blowing into a lively room.

Li Yuan's parents' expressions changed immediately, and her younger brother frowned.

Wang Qiang stepped forward and said somewhat awkwardly, "Li Yuan, I've come to see the child."

Li Yuan said irritably, "What are you doing here? This is my family's full moon celebration, you're not welcome."

Wang Qiang was still unwilling to give up: "I am the child's father, and I have the right to see the child."

Li Yuan's father stepped forward and said loudly, "How dare you say that? What you did in your marriage, how dare you come here? This is my granddaughter's full moon celebration, don't come and cause trouble."

Wang Qiang wanted to argue: "Dad, I know I was wrong, but I really miss the children."

Li Yuan's younger brother snorted from the side, "Oh, ex-brother-in-law, now you're thinking about the kids? What were you doing back then? Why didn't you say anything when we got divorced?"

At this moment, a joking uncle among the relatives spoke up: "Wang Qiang, you're like a cooked duck—stubborn to the end. You're here now just trying to save face, but this matter isn't as simple as you think."

Wang Qiang panicked: "I'm not here to save face, I genuinely care about the child."

Li Yuan held the child tightly, protecting him: "You care about the child? You and your former mother-in-law used to treat me coldly and warmly, but I've never seen you care like this. Now that we're divorced, the court has already ruled, so stop bothering me."

Wang Qiang's face flushed red and then turned pale: "I know I was negligent before, but I want to make up for it now."

Li Yuan's mother said from the side, "Make amends? Do you know what this child needs most right now? A stable life, her mother's love. Your coming here will only disrupt our lives."

At this moment, another relative spoke up: "Wang Qiang, you're like a headless fly—bumping around aimlessly. If you really care about the child, don't cause trouble now. When the child grows up, maybe they'll remember your kindness."

Wang Qiang stood there, looking particularly helpless: "I just wanted to see the child, I really didn't mean anything else."

Li Yuan looked at him and sighed, "Wang Qiang, it's not that I don't want you to look after the child, but today is really not appropriate. If you really want to, let's talk about it later. Don't make things unpleasant for everyone at this full moon celebration."

Wang Qiang wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute looks in the Li family's eyes, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After he left, Li Yuan said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I made you all laugh. Let's continue celebrating and not let this spoil our good mood."

And so, the full moon celebration became lively again. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food, played with Xiao Qing, and laughter filled the house once more.

Looking at her daughter, Li Yuan silently thought, "Baby, no matter what, I will protect you in this new life and give you a happy home. I will teach you until you grow up, watch you go to university, and see you marry the boy who loves you most."

A few days later, Li Yuan was chatting with a friend and mentioned Wang Qiang's visit to the full moon celebration.

My friend laughed and said, "You're really something, you got rid of him just like that."

Li Yuan said proudly, "Of course, I can't let him ruin our good life. Right now, all I'm thinking about is how to raise our daughter well; nothing else matters."

My friend nodded: "Yes, you have a house and a daughter now, your life will definitely get better and better. What if Wang Qiang comes back to bother you?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If he comes again, I will do the same thing as that day and resolutely prevent him from disturbing us. I'm not afraid of him now; I have my family supporting me."

Some time later, Li Yuan took her daughter back to her parents' home. As soon as they entered, her younger brother said with a smile, "Sis, has Wang Qiang stopped causing trouble lately?"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "No, I guess he knew it was pointless."

Li Yuan's mother held the child and said, "It's good that you're not coming. We must take good care of Xiao Qing and help her grow up healthy and happy."

Looking at her family, Li Yuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew that with her family by her side, she could overcome any difficulty, and her new life with her daughter would surely be as bright as the sunshine.
