Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

At this moment, Su Yuanyuan is somewhat of an outsider. However, the five siblings indeed do not treat her as an outsider.

Su Yuanyuan had a bowl of lump soup and a piece of fried rice cake.

"Yuanyuan, why are you eating so little?"

"Am I eating little? It's already quite a lot. This is how much I eat."

Su Yuanyuan had been observing Xiang Zhiqiang all along but didn't use Divine Sense, and once again confirmed him in her heart. He's actually okay. In this way, it wouldn't be bad for Zhao Yanping to be with him.

After the meal, it was Zhao Yanli who saw her off, and she also brought ten twists for her; she didn't take the fried rice cake.

"Xiao Li, I think this Xiang Zhiqiang is alright."

"My elder sister-in-law also said he's okay. They'll get married when spring comes; I really can't bear my elder sister leaving."

"All of you are here, what can't you bear? Where's Sister Xiao Jing?"

"She also has someone introducing a match for her, and someone is introducing a match for me too, but I'm not in a hurry at all."

Su Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled; they truly dare to say anything.

After Su Yuanyuan returned home, she felt her whole body ached, not knowing why, just feeling lazy. Since this was the case, she lay on the warm kang, roasting sweet potatoes on the tin stove.

In the afternoon she felt a stomachache and suddenly remembered. Could it be that she's about to start her menstrual period?

It's also very possible. Now being fourteen, almost fifteen, it's normal for a girl to have her period.

Su Yuanyuan went directly into the space, and really, it was the case.

Fortunately, she had collected many sanitary napkins earlier, so she wasn't in too much trouble; she really didn't dare to think about what homemade sanitary belts would be like.

With her period, she just lay on the kang, eating what was in the space.

This body has been nurtured well. So it wasn't particularly painful, bearable, but still not wanting to move.

It wasn't until the third day that the flow wasn't very heavy. She felt her back was sore from lying down so much.

"Sister. Sister."

This was Li Shaoguang coming over.

"What's the matter?"

"Sister, someone delivered a little donkey. Do you want to see it? But you need to wear more; it's snowing outside, and it's particularly cold."

Su Yuanyuan nodded and went over with Li Shaoguang.

She really didn't understand these, but looking at this little donkey, it was alright. In the end, Li Hongxiang did buy it.

And they agreed with the vendor to deliver a tin stove and briquette coal, promising to deliver them in three days; seems like they have these in stock.

"Right, Master. Could you also help bring back the harness and shackles? One shouldn't trouble two masters for one matter." Apparently, Li Hongxiang and the others were not familiar with these.

The vendor promised to bring everything in three days.

The yard looked clean and tidy, quite nice actually.

After sending away the cart driver, Su Yuanyuan also returned. Three days later, she left with them. Staying at home was really boring.

Three days later, Su Yuanyuan got on the donkey cart heading to the town. Before leaving, she gave Li Hongxiang ten jin of cottonseed oil and twenty jin of cotton. Initially, she planned for Zhao Yanping and the others to help, but Li Liyun said she could do it herself, so Su Yuanyuan gave her her own sewing kit.

It wasn't until the second day in the evening that they arrived in the town. Although the snow on the road wasn't particularly thick, it was very hard to travel on.

At the train station, she bought a train ticket, taking the first train that was available.

Sitting on the train, she went to the dining car for breakfast every day, which was quite good. The porridge in the dining car was hot.

Now the snow was still falling, and it seemed to be getting heavier, making Su Yuanyuan feel uneasy. It would be troublesome if they got stopped halfway.

Being stranded without a village ahead or an inn behind would be a real ordeal.

Watching the heavy snowflakes outside the window, Su Yuanyuan sighed again, hoping it would stop snowing. Otherwise, it might really be impossible to continue the journey.

After just finishing lunch, the announcement was heard, arriving at city A, and without thinking, Su Yuanyuan got off the train. Being trapped here is better than being stuck halfway, isn't it?

She went directly to an inn; the inn here made Su Yuanyuan quite satisfied, with a large kang, making it less uncomfortable.

It was a shared accommodation, but not many people due to the weather, so she had the place to herself.

She added firewood several times herself. The snow got even heavier at night, and it seemed that getting off the train was indeed a wise decision.

The next day when she got up, she saw that the snow outside hadn't stopped. Su Yuanyuan sighed, realizing she was truly going to be stuck here.

Being here was really boring, so she went outside to chat with the staff.

Indeed it was said, learning about the local situation.

She also learned that there were quite a few rich people here, but they were all very low-key, living like ordinary people.

Su Yuanyuan didn't buy this. She knew that people who were wealthy in the past wouldn't compromise on their food now.

But this heavy snow made it obvious if something was amiss. Being unable to explain the source of things could attract unwanted attention, which would be really troublesome.

So Su Yuanyuan restrained herself and definitely wouldn't sell anything.

But she still took a stroll outside; even in disaster years, there were rarely footprints in the snow. It seemed no one was out strolling.

She just wandered around outside for a bit. It was really too cold, so she came back.

"Yuanyuan, Xiao Su, did you give up after going out for a walk?"

"Yes, there's barely anyone on the road."

Feeling too bored, she joined the three staff members in shoveling snow, and the four girls then sat by the stove to roast sweet potatoes.

Since it wasn't convenient to take out sweet potatoes, Su Yuanyuan took out peanuts and roasted them on the stove lid, which was very fragrant.

"Xiao Su, I think you won't be able to leave for another five or six days."

Su Yuanyuan shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, I want to leave but am stuck here."

"Xiao Su, where do you want to go?"

"I want to see the border, to be honest, if I could hold out for another week, the snow wouldn't be so heavy."

"Haha, didn't make it, so calm down and stay."

Even if she couldn't calm down, there was nothing to be done.

In the afternoon, being really bored, Su Yuanyuan went out again. Walking on the street, each household had already cleared the snow in front of their door, really each minding their own business.

She wandered to a bustling street, where everything was hidden.

Su Yuanyuan smirked; had she arrived at a black market?

Upon entering, she saw that most of it was food, inquiring about the prices; now cornmeal was twenty-five cents. It seemed still a bit less than the previous year. Well, in the countryside, there shouldn't be a shortage of food. But after the end of communal kitchens, everyone ate their own, and the divided food wouldn't be much.

However, with a large amount of land in the countryside, if one is diligent, it is completely possible to grow some food in the yard.
