Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Zhang Chunsheng took Su Yuanyuan over, and the accountant here knew that this girl had donated six thousand last time, and this time she made more money and came again.

"Comrade, thank you very much. I represent all the soldiers in thanking you."

Su Yuanyuan smiled modestly. Who wouldn't be excited by such passionate praise?

"This is what I should do. With you protecting our homeland, we have our happy lives."

This raises the level to a different height. This is a matter of awareness.

After Su Yuanyuan handed over the money, she felt at ease. This time it was seven thousand yuan, plus the six thousand for Li Hongxiang, all from James.

It's like using someone else's money to make a contribution.

"Comrade, this money is donated by both me and Tan Shaoting." After all, this year's winter wheat harvest does include Tan Shaoting's share. Besides, since he's working in this field now, it's only right to involve him in such good deeds.

The person in charge recorded Tan Shaoting's name as well.

After finishing the task here, Zhang Chunsheng took Su Yuanyuan away.

"Are you staying here?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I think I'll walk around a bit, and anyway, I have to go back in a few days to start farming again." Who'd want to stay here anyway? It feels uncomfortable.

Zhang Chunsheng looked at the departing girl, wanting to call her back, wanting to ask if she wasn't interested in news about Tan Shaoting.

But he knew there were rules, and her not asking was already the best for him.

Su Yuanyuan was observing Zhang Chunsheng, and seeing his conflicted expression, she knew that even if she asked about Tan Shaoting, he wouldn't tell her. Why bother? Besides, she's not worried about his safety.

She went out for a stroll outside. Honestly, it was quite desolate here, but it was similar to the farm side.

"Su Yuanyuan?"

She turned around and saw Ruan Lingyu.

"Mr. Ruan, nice to meet you again."

"Mm, you came again? Mr. Tan just left a few days ago. You didn't catch each other, did you?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I just arrived."

"Where are you heading?"

"No worries, I'm planning to go to the train station to buy a ticket and see when there's a train back."

"Well, then you'll have to leave at least the day after tomorrow. Come stay at my place; I still haven't thanked you for the jewelry you brought me."

Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Ruan Lingyu, with her petite and delicate figure, fair and smooth skin, looked incredibly charming.

Together, Su Yuanyuan appeared a bit larger, though actually, Ruan Lingyu was four years older than Su Yuanyuan.

At Ruan Lingyu's home, she warmly offered Su Yuanyuan some fruit.

"Su Yuanyuan, I've made a lot of dried fruits here. You should take some back; fruits are especially good for girls."

"Mm, thank you, Mr. Ruan. I'd like to buy more dried fruits, maybe a few hundred pounds to take back."

"A hundred pounds would need five bags, which would be too much trouble for you to handle alone on the journey."

"You're right, then I'll just buy one hundred pounds."

She quietly considered buying more to take back, like a small trader. She thought about what could make money.

With just the two girls at home, Ruan Lingyu didn't skimp on hospitality. The dinner was exceptionally rich, featuring special smoked meat from here.

The two of them chatted about each other's lives. When Ruan Lingyu heard that Su Yuanyuan managed over a hundred and fifty acres of land by herself, she was truly impressed.

"Su Yuanyuan, you are amazing. I only have three acres, and even that tires me out."

"There's no other way. This year, I'll only farm fifty acres when I get back. It's too exhausting; there were times I just wanted to give up, but after working hard all year, I have to see it through even if I have to crawl."

Su Yuanyuan knew she had pushed herself too hard back then. Without the help from the farm, wanting to come out herself was simply a fantasy.

The next day, Su Yuanyuan refused Ruan Lingyu's company and went out alone. She genuinely wanted to buy dried fruits, as she couldn't use any of the supplies from her space, especially since people like Zhang Chunsheng were around. She didn't want to put herself in danger; spending money was different.

Trade was still free here. In the morning, Su Yuanyuan bought two hundred pounds of dried kiwi and two hundred pounds of dried mango.

Ruan Lingyu looked at the girl bringing back her haul, sighed helplessly, "When are you taking the train back so I can see you off?"

"Thanks, but I still want to buy a bit more."

She went to the train station after lunch, found out there were still three days until the next train.

This put Su Yuanyuan at ease. She could gather more specialties from here.

Actually, she was interested in some of the fabrics here. She liked the patterns and dyeing.

So that afternoon, she focused on buying fabric and ended up purchasing over a hundred meters.

"Su Yuanyuan, do you like floral fabrics like these?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I even ordered two sets of clothes in town; I'm trying out the clothes from here."

"I have some here too. I'll gift you a new set."

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, knowing she was taller than Ruan Lingyu; their clothes wouldn't fit her.

"I've already ordered two sets, thank you."

Ruan Lingyu understood that Su Yuanyuan had a very stubborn personality, almost like a man's. When she said no, she meant it.

Then, she bought another two hundred pounds of rice. Honestly, the rice here was not as good as what she had in her space.

However, this was done openly, and she had already collected so much. If things didn't go well, she could just get off at the next station and wait for the next train.

Ruan Lingyu watched the girl bring goods round after round to her home. She really wasn't afraid to spend money.

On the last day, Su Yuanyuan didn't go out again but stayed home packing her things.

There was a little of everything, and it turned out to be quite a lot when put together.

"Su Yuanyuan, I'll pull a cart to take you to the train station tomorrow."

"Much appreciated."

"No need to be so polite."

After dinner, Su Yuanyuan took a piece of fabric from her bag and gave it to Ruan Lingyu, "This is fabric from our area, not as pretty as yours."

Actually, it was the best dacron, the kind with little yellow flowers. Su Yuanyuan didn't like it but figured Ruan Lingyu might.

"Thank you, Su Yuanyuan, I really like it."

This fabric was available locally but very expensive and hard to find.

She knew this was Su Yuanyuan returning a favor, and dealing with people like her was the easiest. She wouldn't owe you anything and wouldn't let you take advantage of her.

The next day, the two girls loaded a full cart of goods to the train station.

Since it was the starting station, plus Ruan Lingyu had helped through her connections, they successfully got everything on board.

"Thank you, Ruan Lingyu. When can you visit us? I'll host you."
