Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"Mm, I'm relieved." Su Yuanyuan lay there, sweating profusely, eyes closed to rest. In fact, she was communicating with the child in her belly, as there wasn't much amniotic fluid left. It was best if the children were born soon.

After a while, Tan Shaoting came in with a bowl of noodles.

"Yuanyuan, have some, you'll need the strength later," Zhao Yanping called for Su Yuanyuan to open her eyes.

She opened her eyes and looked at Tan Shaoting, who was at a loss while holding the bowl. She smiled.

"Xiao Li, help me up, I'll eat."

Watching her eat, all three people felt more at ease.

Su Yuanyuan ate while enduring the pain, but eventually, she couldn't bear it anymore and lay back down, shaking her head.

The second one was faster than the first; the second child was born in just ten minutes.

Zhao Xiaoli smiled, "Well, two sons, Yuanyuan, you saved yourself one more labor."

Watching a woman give birth was so painful that Zhao Yanli was genuinely frightened.

"Yuanyuan, rest for a while; I guess the placenta will be expelled soon."

"Big sister, there's one more in my belly," Su Yuanyuan said weakly.

"One more?"

The two sisters were very surprised.

The third one was even smoother, also born in ten minutes, and Su Yuanyuan didn't feel much pain.

Tan Shaoting handed over a cup of Spiritual Spring Water. After drinking it, Su Yuanyuan lay back down.

The three babies were very obedient, only crying when their umbilical cords were cut. Now they were sleeping peacefully.

"Xiao Tan, go prepare more hot water; Yuanyuan will need it later."

Tan Shaoting followed instructions and went out to prepare it.

"Yuanyuan, you really are amazing, having three children. I've never heard of anyone having three," Zhao Yanli remarked, marveling while looking at the babies.

Su Yuanyuan just kept her eyes closed, but a smile remained on her face.

When the hot water arrived, Zhao Yanping helped clean her up, and the placenta was expelled too.

Now it was finally safe. Zhao Yanping knew that her own problem before was due to the placenta not being expelled, and she was lucky.

Moreover, Su Yuanyuan stopped bleeding very quickly; her body was in good condition.

She helped tidy everything up.

"Xiao Tan, help Yuanyuan up so we can change the bedding."

Tan Shaoting climbed onto the bed, knelt beside Su Yuanyuan, and carefully held her. When he saw Zhao Yanli wanting to take the old bedding, he said, "Use the new one."

Once Su Yuanyuan lay down again, she felt much more comfortable. Lying on the bedding used for childbirth was very uncomfortable before.

The two sisters came out and saw Hai Yan sitting by the table, eating the food laid out. The little girl sat there obediently, eating.

"Big sister, look at that sheep?"

Zhao Yanping saw the sheep wandering in the yard, gazing towards the house.

She laughed and patted the sheep's head, "Yuanyuan gave birth. She had three, and both the mother and children are fine."

The sisters heard the sheep bleating twice.

"Big sister, this sheep seems to have become sentient? It seems like it understands us."

The two sisters washed their hands and went back inside, where they saw Tan Shaoting feeding the youngest one with a spoon.

This was something the couple had already discussed: the children should be given water immediately after birth.

The two sisters were reassured by Tan Shaoting's actions.

Tan Shaoting put down the spoon and looked earnestly at the sisters, "Thank you."

"What are you talking about? Yuanyuan is our sister.

Take good care of Yuanyuan, and we'll get to work. We'll come back tonight."

Tan Shaoting nodded. His main task now was to take care of the mother and three kids.

When it was just their family left in the room, Tan Shaoting looked at his wife lying on the bed with the three children.

His face was filled with joy. He had never considered the prospect of having children.

In the past, he had seen cultivators, even those who formed Daoist couples, rarely had children. So he thought it wasn't likely for them as cultivators.

Little did he know they would have children, and three at once, a pair of boy and girl twins.

Tan Shaoting's excitement was beyond words. He went outside to stoke the fire. The little girl approached him, "Uncle, where are the baby brothers?"

"Hai Yan, they're all sleeping. Are you thirsty?"

The little girl shook her head. Her mom and aunt had made sure she drank water before they left.

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Want to help uncle kill a chicken? I'll make soup for you and your aunt."

The little girl nodded with a smile, and the two went out together.

While making the soup, they added ginseng, which was over a hundred years old; it was discovered by Tan Shaoting on a mission. It was the perfect time to use it now.

He knew his wife didn't like too much oil, so he scooped out the excess oil for the Zhao sisters to take.

Su Yuanyuan was dreaming, feeling as if she was running non-stop, and also feeling very weak and tired.

She was woken up by Tan Shaoting. In reality, she felt very tired, as if she had no strength.

"Yuanyuan, have some chicken soup, I made you a clear broth."

He placed the bowl on the bed, carefully helping his wife sit up. He wanted to feed her, but she declined.

"I can do it myself."

After eating an egg and drinking most of the bowl of soup, she put it down.

"I'm full. Did you feed the children?"

"Yes, I did. Don't worry."

"Remember to feed them again later."

She was starting to feel engorged and wasn't sure when she could start nursing.

She knew she had to drink more hearty soups, so she forced herself to drink the tasteless chicken broth.

"Yuanyuan, are you okay?"

"Mm, just tired, but it doesn't hurt much anymore.

It's okay, don't worry, everything's fine now."

Even though she said so, how could Tan Shaoting be at ease?

Su Yuanyuan regained some energy and urged Tan Shaoting to give the children water.

She hoped the children would be healthy and strong.

The three children gladly accepted the Spiritual Spring Water; each drank half a cup.

Seeing the children like this made Su Yuanyuan very happy, as it meant they were doing well.

"Tan Shaoting, when you have time, think about names for the children."

"Names? Let's wait until you're recovered and then you can name them."

The children were born thanks to his wife's effort, so she should name them.

"Alright, once I recover, we'll discuss it."

"Yuanyuan, is there anything else you'd like to eat? Or should I just follow the meal plan for you?"

This was something Tan Shaoting had written himself and shown to Su Yuanyuan.

"Alright. I'll eat according to what you wrote." He really took great care in planning everything.

At this time, Hai Yan came in. She nimbly climbed onto the bed and sat next to Su Yuanyuan.

"Aunt, does it hurt?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "It doesn't hurt, thank you, Hai Yan."
