In 1983, her father died in a workplace accident, and his body had barely grown cold.
Her second uncle produced a forged adoption paper, claiming her cousin should take over her job assignment. Her second aunt pinned down her hand and forced her to sign a waiver.
In her previous life, she signed. She failed to hold on to the job assignment, the house, the sewing machine, the compensation, or anything else her father had left behind. Twenty-five years later, she died of illness in a rented room in Guangzhou, with nothing left but her skill at making clothes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the night she had signed.
Xu Qinghe folded up the paper and slipped it into her pocket.
"I'm not signing."
In this life, everything they'd taken from her, the job assignment, the house, and the money, would be returned.
Starting as an apprentice sweeping the workshop floor, she would redesign garments, compete in skills contests, and travel south to buy stock. She would build a fortune with a pair of scissors, then take over her father's factory.
