    Highly recommend this reincarnation novel! The female lead returns with memories of her past life, realizing her husband's so-called "brotherly love" was nothing but a hindrance. She decisively pulls the male lead along, taking their child to the city to make a living. The male lead starts from the bottom, working his way up to become an engineer; the female lead first works in a factory, then uses her skills to become a family chef. Their joint efforts in building their careers are incredibly inspiring! The best part is that in her past life, the male lead always lent his hard-earned money to his "brothers," but in this life, the female lead directly steals the money to buy a house, firmly grasping the family's future!
