Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

She strolled back after breakfast and didn't return to her room; instead, she chatted with the two aunts.

To be honest, their days were quite boring. So having someone to chat with them was nice.

"Xiao Su, what happened in your room last night? I almost went to check it out."

"Just someone regretting going to the farm."

"You can't back out even if you regret it, right?"

"Yes, you can't back out."

"Xiao Su, how did you make so much money?"

"In the farm, if you cultivated one hundred acres, they would let you use the little donkey, so my neighbor and I partnered up. That year was primarily the first year of a disaster; my piece of land happened to be close to a pond, so we worked day and night hauling water to irrigate the land."

"Weren't you still a child back then?"

"It's the same. I worked since I was young, and I didn't find it too hard."

"Yeah, that's how it is. Who doesn't work?"

"Xiao Su, are you leaving the day after tomorrow? Will you come back every year to purchase pesticides?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "Definitely. The Second Farm is that big, of course, it needs a lot.

But in the future, probably the farm staff will come here. This time I purely came to pave the way."

"Letting a girl like you pave the way?"

Yuanyuan laughed. "That's because I like to run outside after the autumn harvest."

"Haha, you're quite the wild girl. Where have you been?"

"I've been to many places, just to see the outside world. Otherwise, I feel like I would turn dumb."

"You're already quite amazing, standing on your feet at this age."

"What else can I do? Sometimes things just pile up, and when you reach that point, you have no choice but to go ahead."

At this moment, Zheng Lanying came out of the room with disheveled hair and puffy eyes.

Seeing them talking and laughing, she wasn't happy. So she just snorted and went to wash up.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She wants to live with me? I didn't agree."

"Xiao Su, isn't it good for two girls to team up?"

Yuanyuan knew this person was just curious without any malice.

"Auntie, I'm used to being alone. Besides, the nearest neighbor is five or six miles away, which is inconvenient.

Most importantly, I have a boyfriend. Although he's not here now, he'll be back in the future, so there's no way."

"I see. That's indeed inconvenient.

That lucky guy to have someone like Xiao Su."

Yuanyuan wasn't embarrassed, she smiled. "He was my former neighbor; when I went there, I was only eleven. He helped me a lot, and for several years we lived and farmed together."

"That's really nice, isn't it?"

Zheng Lanying, carrying a basin, heard what Yuanyuan said. So she already has a partner. Living with a man at such a young age, isn't she something?

Yuanyuan sensed Zheng Lanying's disdain, finding it quite amusing. Is she a moralist or what?

But this has nothing to do with herself; not to mention her, even the siblings of Zhao Yanli, if it weren't for their straightforwardness and fewer complicated issues, she wouldn't have gotten so close to them.

Then the three of them continued chatting about other topics. Yuanyuan quite enjoyed listening to gossip, especially trivial matters.

Watching her listen so intently, they became more enthusiastic.

"Xiao Su, let me tell you. In the future, you should be careful with your in-laws."

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

"Just like a neighbor of mine, she has a daughter who is pretty, a middle school student, and very capable.

She married a classmate from the countryside.

I heard she's living a particularly hard life with the in-laws.

When she got married, her family didn't ask for a bride price. I think that's why the in-laws started looking down on her.

Her family didn't ask for a bride price and even gave a lot of dowries.

But during the New Year when she came back, just two years into the marriage, the girl was dressed in rags.

I heard her mother scolding her, wanting to stand up for her, but she actually said there was no need. She claimed she was doing well."

Yuanyuan also thought there was something wrong with this woman.

But not being in the situation, she had no right to judge. Warm or cold, only she knows best. Perhaps she really thinks she's doing well.

"Xiao Su, don't take it lightly. You must hold onto your things. Also, you don't know, people who haven't split up with their in-laws are even harder to deal with."

"I'll keep that in mind."

They continued chatting until noon when Shen Shao Hong came over, and only then did Yuanyuan say goodbye and left.

"Let's buy food from the restaurant and go home to eat with some pork intestines."

Yuanyuan had no objections. The lunch today was a radish shredded vegetable bun.

Although it looked rather dark, it was, after all, fine grain.

After returning home, Yuanyuan only had a small piece of pork intestine and one vegetable bun.

"Is that all you're eating?"

"It's enough."

After eating, they didn't delay and rode their bikes straight to the plastic factory.

When Shen Shao Hong got there, he found the supply department's people and directly ordered thick plastic sheets and ten rolls of thin film.

Yuanyuan paid and took the tickets.

After leaving the plastic factory, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll bring a vehicle to transport the plastic."

"Thank you so much."

"It's no big deal. By the way, do you need to go anywhere else?"

"No, I'm done. You go to work, I'll wander back myself."

This time, Yuanyuan went around the building, bought another ten bags of snacks, thanks to Director Feng who gave a few food tickets. Otherwise, you want to buy snacks? Think again.

After returning to the inn, she put it directly in her bag. They were all peach crisps, meant for snacking on the car later. It hadn't snowed here yet, unsure if the farm had snow, but it's best to hurry.

Hopefully, it won't snow. Being in a truck is nerve-wracking enough.

Zheng Lanying wasn't at the inn, and Yuanyuan didn't pay much attention. In the afternoon, she didn't go out to chat, didn't sleep well yesterday, so she dozed off for a bit.

It was only at night that Zheng Lanying came back, and she still snorted at Yuanyuan.

Is there something wrong with this person? Even if she wasn't asking me to take her back, there's no conflict between us, why behave like this?

Actually, Yuanyuan misunderstood. Zheng Lanying never felt taking the truck was asking Yuanyuan; she thought it was a matter for the farm. It had nothing to do with Yuanyuan.

The two didn't say a word to each other, Yuanyuan couldn't care less about Zheng Lanying constantly snorting, just felt she was off.

Finally, the day of loading came. Yuanyuan got up early, and now Zheng Lanying got up too.

Yuanyuan didn't bother with her; she wasn't that childish. After coming here, she cared less about many things. So she didn't say anything about Zheng Lanying following her either.
