Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"It's fine, I can work a bit during the day, just take it slow."

Yanli ultimately couldn't hold it in.

"Big sis, on my way back I saw Xiang Zhiqiang digging out the cotton stalks for Zheng Lanying."

Yanping's chopsticks paused for a moment while eating. Then she continued to eat.

"It has nothing to do with me anymore."

Both sisters knew that now it was widely spread among the farm: Xiang Zhiqiang wasn't even taking care of his own land but was doing work for Zheng Lanying.

It got out because of Xiang Zhiqiang's parents.

They wanted their son to do the work. But Xiang Zhiqiang didn't care at all. So the whole farm found out.

"Big sis, actually this is pretty good. If you were still with Xiang Zhiqiang, he'd be even angrier."

"Yeah, if I had known earlier, I would have been freed sooner," Yanping sighed.

"But Zheng Lanying is really capable, I've heard she not only repaid the farm's debt in money and grain, but even took back over three hundred bucks."

"Alright, stop talking about them, else you'll upset yourself."

"Hmm, I know. I do wonder how Xiang Zhiqiang and she will end up together later?"

Yanping helplessly looked at her sister. This girl.

The next day, the farm held a meeting and finally decided Accountant Zhang would go. Now seeing the Zhao Family, he felt quite embarrassed.

Today, the two sisters, Yanli and Yanping, were digging cotton stalks. Her intention was to do more so her big sister would do less.

The two sisters cared for each other. The three kids went to Yuanyuan's house in the morning.

The main reason was that Xiao Ling wanted to see the young brother and sister.

Tan Shaoting was at home taking care of his wife and so many kids. To be honest, he quite enjoyed such a life.

Xiao Ling was older, so she would accompany Su Yuanyuan for chats.

The littlest girl got hungry, but Tan Shaoting wouldn't let his wife breastfeed and directly gave milk powder.

At noon, he even went to deliver food to the sisters.

"Xiao Tan, your bun-steaming skills are getting better."

Tan Shaoting nodded earnestly, he thought so too. He planned that whenever he's home, cooking would be his task.

The two sisters were diligent, and it wasn't until dark that one of them went back to start the fire, and Yanping went to pick up the three kids, bringing back cabbage and meat buns. This way, they could just cook some porridge at night, and the three little ones were already full.

At night, Yanli washed herself clean. Going out must be neat and tidy.

"Auntie, is it fun outside?"

"I haven't been out yet; I'll tell you when I come back. You must behave at home."

The cotton stalks at home, the big sister had been handling, and there were two or three days left to finish.

It had been arranged with Yuanyuan that the kids would stay at her place for these days.

It's really embarrassing, with her still in confinement, and yet having to look after their kids.

The next day, Yanli got up. She neatly placed the money in two strips of cloth, wrapping it around her waist. Even though they were taking a truck over, this way she felt more secure.

Besides, she had already put on a light cotton jacket, so it wasn't noticeable.

While eating, Feng Baoshan drove over. Behind him were two more vehicles, all pesticide barrels, and Li Hongxiang also loaded their four large barrels on the vehicle.

Yanli was just holding the bag Su Yuanyuan gave her, containing a change of clothes, toiletries, a lunch box Yuanyuan gave her, a tea mug, and holding a cotton coat.

She greeted Accountant Zhang as if nothing was wrong.

Zhang Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief, though his smile was a bit uneasy, he felt inwardly that this Zhao family girl was quite generous.

It was still quite cold in the morning; Yanli wore a coat and hat, feeling quite comfortable like this.

The three of them chatted along the way, all aware that Su Yuanyuan had already briefed Yanli, so they were reassured.

Because they set off during the day, by the time they reached the city, it was already evening. But they directly went to the transport team.

Feng Baoshan had spoken to someone in advance here. Although they couldn't depart tonight, they could stay the night at the transport team.

Yanli felt a bit inconvenient now, but she tried hard to adapt.

Thankfully she brought the coat. Otherwise, she would have had a hard time tonight.

Early the next morning, Feng Baoshan took them out for breakfast, and then returned to find the leader here, arranged two trucks to send them off, only then felt relieved.

Yanli was still very excited sitting in the truck. So this was how high a truck was. The view was different. She wondered if this was what Mr. Li meant by standing high to see far?

The driver was a middle-aged man who found it amusing to see the girl's restrained but excited expression.

He merely thought this girl was tagging along for fun.

Because there were two vehicles, Zhang Haisheng and the others were seated separately.

At home, Su Yuanyuan was also sitting on the kang chatting with the two little girls.

Sun Yun had taught the kids well, Xiao Ling was quite good, she would ask adults while eating.

This was a matter of upbringing. Such a child would not be disliked by others when going out.

"Yuanyuan, should we slaughter a pig?"

"Slaughter a pig? Let's invite Big Brother Zhao instead."

Couldn't imagine Tan Shaoting slaughtering a pig. It felt unsightly.

Tan Shaoting understood Su Yuanyuan's intention and smiled.

"Okay, in a few days I'll check their schedule."

Although slaughtering a pig himself would be more convenient, since his wife didn't want him to, they would just find someone else.

But they'd have to wait until the Zhao Brothers finished their own things at home.

After three days, Yanping had dug out all the cotton stalks.

In two more days, she had brought all of them back, as these couldn't be burned among the corn stalks. So they were all brought to the yard.

With Yanping accompanying his wife, Tan Shaoting drove off to find Zhao Qingxiang and his brothers.

"Xiao Tan, let's slaughter the pig the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll clear up all the house chores."

"Alright, the day after tomorrow then."

Sun Yun also prepared quite a few sweet potatoes, potatoes, and two bags of radishes for Tan Shaoting. They all knew Yuanyuan liked shredded radish stuffing. Also knew she didn't plant much this year.

Tan Shaoting thought his wife's view of people was indeed accurate, at least the Zhao Family people knew how to return favors. They had helped them before, and when they had the capacity, they'd repay.

It's not about caring for their small stuff, but a matter of sentiment.

After returning home, Yanping took the three kids back.

The house was quiet again. Su Yuanyuan, happy, took out a camera to teach Tan Shaoting how to use it, then started taking pictures of the kids.

They were 28 days old now, incredibly cute. The couple felt they could never take enough photos.

They even took selfies, family photos were taken many times over.

The couple also took portraits together, all with Tan Shaoting holding Su Yuanyuan.

Looking at their photos on the camera, Tan Shaoting said, "Yuanyuan, let's go to a photo studio for a portrait, to hang at home."
