Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Li Liyun was drying wheat at home, thinking about waiting for Sister Yuanyuan's family to finish with their corn, and then they would also submit their wheat.

The farm team had already threshed Su Yuanyuan's wheat, and now no one opposed it. The amount given to Su Yuanyuan exceeded by one thousand five hundred pounds.

Now, no one had any issues with harvesting corn either.

Every day, six carts of corn were delivered. Both the grandfather and grandson of the Li Family brought them over, weighing them.

The twenty acres of corn took four days, but they'd still need two more days to pull out the corn stalks. This was also tiring work.

During these two days, Zhao Yanli also helped the Li Family deliver wheat, with three thousand pounds of wheat left at their home.

Li Hongxiang wouldn't compromise himself, of course, he would keep the refined grains.

After two days of submitting the wheat, his family also started husking corn.

Then it was the Zhao sisters' turn to submit wheat.

The two sisters kept two thousand pounds of wheat, including seed wheat. But unlike the Li Family, who kept three thousand pounds after the seed wheat.

People were envious of the sisters having so much wheat.

Now both sisters had lost weight, but they were happy, as this year's wheat could earn them over a thousand yuan.

Zhao Yanli worked even harder.

After returning, she started husking corn. The sisters wanted to finish quickly so they could help their eldest brother.

On their way to submit wheat, they stopped by their eldest brother's house and found that the sister-in-law had given birth several days ago. It was another little niece, and the sister-in-law was a little unhappy.

Actually, Zhao Yanli didn't think it was a big deal. She believed girls were fine too. But apparently, the sister-in-law didn't think so.

There was nothing they could do; the eldest brother didn't mind.

Both returned without resting and started husking corn right away, not stripping the corn cobs but leaving the husks on for quicker work.

The sisters were diligent, seizing time to remove corn husks.

Su Yuanyuan asked Tan Shaoting to help transport it home.

"Yuanyuan, it's not okay, let them do it slowly, I can't be away from you."

He wouldn't neglect his wife for someone else's work.

They only had thirty acres of corn, less than wheat, and husking corn was faster than reaping wheat.

The Li Family took six days to finish their corn. Li Hongxiang took another day to clean the field, so he wouldn't have to do it himself.

Next was the cotton, but seeing the Zhao sisters so tired, Su Yuanyuan decided to have eight people help them for one day. This way, they got their corn home too.

Picking cotton was less laborious. All the picked cotton was sent to the farm team.

Since Su Yuanyuan wanted to leave, she didn't plan on taking the grain, so she turned it all over to the farm team.

Li Hongxiang noticed but didn't ask. Yuanyuan was living here and would have children in the future, which would indeed be challenging. It was good to be with Xiao Tan.

The farm team people were more satisfied now. There was really quite a lot of cotton.

The eight of them had already agreed with Li Hongxiang. They would keep one hundred pounds of wheat each, two hundred pounds of corn, and for cotton, they would keep grade A cotton, each wanting two bags of seed cotton, to gin it when they returned to the city.

Tan Shaoting had no objections, so he let them keep it, and they could settle the account together later.

The Zhao sisters' corn had been brought home, filling the entire threshing ground. They had no time to peel the corn now, so they informed Su Yuanyuan and hurried to their eldest brother's house.

They were actually worried that their second sister-in-law might not be willing.

Planning to finish reaping the wheat for the eldest brother before seeing the second brother.

Their arrival saved Zhao Qingxiang a lot of time.

Both were very capable, and seeing the sisters working so efficiently, outsiders were inspired.

Zhao Qingxiang's threshing ground was right in front of the house, so Sun Yun came out to dry the grain, also wanting to submit it quickly.

So she drove the little donkey for pressing. Zhao Qingxiang felt sorry for his wife and didn't want her to work.

"I worry about you too. I'll just take my time. Don't worry about me."

Sun Yun was quite touched. This time she gave birth to another girl, yet her husband didn't blame her and was especially good to the second daughter. This made her hold Zhao Qingxiang even closer to her heart.

The sisters helped for two days, and Zhao Yanping began helping with threshing.

Zhao Yanli went to the second brother's house to help; their wheat had been collected, and it was time for threshing.

With help, it was even faster.

The sisters returned on the sixth day, worried about the corn cobs left in the yard. They didn't want them to rot, so after submitting the wheat, they returned to finish husking the corn.

It wasn't a relaxing job, though sitting, they also had to fill the corn cribs, which made it easier to dry and mainly protected against sudden rain without proper covering.

Su Yuanyuan's family accomplished all the tasks for this year. When it came time to settle accounts, the eight were quite satisfied, having obtained so much grain without having to spend money.

Li Hongxiang had arranged with them to return for spring planting.

They surely wanted to; life in the city wasn't easy. There were only so many job positions, and far more people than places. Consequently, there was a lot of idleness.

Tan Shaoting went to find the Zhao sisters, who still hadn't handled the sweet potatoes and potatoes. Su Yuanyuan suggested having the eight help.

Zhao Yanli thought about it and finally agreed, since helping the eldest and second brothers meant the cotton, sweet potatoes, and potatoes at home hadn't been harvested yet.

Cotton could withstand frost, but sweet potatoes and potatoes couldn't.

The eight of them wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, they had to work two more days, which they gladly accepted. Not only did they bring back a lot of grain unavailable in the city, but they could also return with money.

Zhao Yanping was quite frugal with money, but now there was no choice; they had to race against time, fearing sudden frost.

The Li Family had already collected theirs, so Li went to supervise the field while the sisters continued husking corn at home.

Also, the Li sister and brother came over to help.

This year, due to corn pesticide spraying, the corn cob tips weren't eaten by bugs, thus yielding more grain.

The two sisters were indeed industrious, sleeping only one or two hours at night and spending the rest of the time peeling corn.

They managed to harvest all the sweet potatoes and potatoes within three days, bringing a great sense of relief. The rest of the cotton would wait until the household chores were finished.

This year, they didn't differentiate between grade A and grade B seed cotton, planning to send it all to the farm team for convenience, just picking was enough.

Last year, they had kept over a hundred pounds of cotton, so they didn't worry about running out this year.
