Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

At this moment, they heard shouting from outside.

Yuanyuan has gotten out of bed. That's Second Sister coming over.

Quickly tell them to keep it down, that driver is still sleeping, they're all good-hearted people, naturally they hope he can rest well.

Xiao Jing and her family came in, and as soon as Yanli heard Second Sister's voice, she knew what they were up to.

So she just lay down directly. She just got back, so it's normal to rest.

Zhao Yanping followed in behind their family of three. She took her nephew and set him on the bed.

"You two also get on the bed quickly, it's too cold outside, I'll pour you some hot water to drink."

Xiao Jing went directly to the bed, looking at her sister lying there with her eyes shut.

"Xiao Li, you fell asleep so quickly?"

Yanli naturally heard it, even before entering the house, Second Sister was already asking Eldest Sister about her.

She didn't open her eyes. But she did speak, "Not asleep, just feel so tired, can't open my eyes, yet can't sleep.

Second Sister, why did you come over at this time? Is there something you need?"

Xiao Jing felt a bit uneasy being asked, but she knew she had to say it.

"Xiao Li, I was thinking to borrow a ton of fertilizer and some pesticides."

"Second Sister, without drawing a card, you can't have any. Eldest Sister and I only have two tons for our hundred acres. There's no way, even Big Brother with his hundred and fifty acres has only two tons.

There's really no way, the station only has ten tons this year. It's uncertain if Accountant Zhang has any way to get more later."

"The station only has that much? Then you have all the more reason to share a ton with me."

"It's really impossible to split any, no household has enough. I asked you then, but you acted indifferent, and I told you to go buy from the station."

Just then, Zhao Yanping brought in hot water. She had heard the whole conversation between the two younger sisters.

This little cunning won't fool the youngest, they are sure to get into a fight.

What a hassle. How did this Second Sister become like this? Xu Hongbing seems pretty decent, though?

"But how could the station's supply possibly reach us?"

"That's your own issue."

"Yanli, I'm your Second Sister."

"If you were someone else, I wouldn't even bother. Don't waste time here. The fertilizer has been divided. You don't have a share. It'd be quicker for you to go buy some from the station."

"Why didn't you bring some back for me too?"

"Why should I bring it back for you? Didn't I come looking for you? But what did you say?

Stop wasting time here, go to the station early, maybe you can still get some back."

Yanli wasn't going to indulge her. Problems, only her own sister, her own blood, is nagging and mistrusting her.

"Eldest Sister, look at Xiao Li."

"Xiao Jing, why didn't you give Xiao Li money then?"

"Wasn't I just worried she might lose it?"

"She's our sister, she went out for us to get the fertilizer and pesticides, carrying so much risk? Yet she was still thinking of you, her sister.

But what did you do? Xiao Jing, let it go. Didn't you hear, the first stop was at Big Brother's, unloading four tons, two tons each for their families.

The remaining Li Family and Yuanyuan's family got two tons each too. We really have only two tons left here."

Eldest Sister, you're blaming me too? Wasn't I just uneasy about Xiao Li carrying so much money alone?

How is this my fault? Do you even consider me a sister anymore? When you were bullied by Xiang Family, didn't we stand up for you?

Isn't it just because you say we haven't visited you often enough?"

Zhao Yanping listened to her Second Sister's words, tears fell down.

Yanli sat up abruptly. "Just leave, don't come to my house again. If you keep this up, I won't recognize you as my Second Sister anymore.

Don't you know Eldest Sister is managing alone with Hai Yan? But what have you done?

Go, we don't need whatever you're up to. Keeping distance is probably better. Even if I'm begging someday, I won't come to your place."

Yanli was really angry. These are blood sisters tearing open each other's wounds.

In the next room, Zhang Fusheng had overheard everything, wondering why there were no men around, turns out it's women leading the household, but that sister sure is something.

You've got issues, but don't tear open wounds, and don't blame that girl for speaking harshly.

Now he needed to go to the toilet, but being in someone else's house and with them having an argument, going out felt really awkward. He had to hold it in, just listening.

"Eldest Sister."

"Don't call me Eldest Sister over and over. We all know how Eldest Sister is. Enough. No matter what you do, you won't get any."

Yanli watched as Eldest Sister cried on the side, feeling rather annoyed.

"Eldest Sister, why are you crying? Let her say whatever she wants."

Actually, Zhao Yanping had been in a bad mood these past days, she had already heard about Xiang Zhiqiang getting together with Ma Dongmei.

Though she had already given up on Xiang Zhiqiang, knowing that man was getting remarried still affected her mood.

Hearing Second Sister's words brought it all back.

Now, when Little Sister asked her, she finally snapped out of it. Right, why was she crying? What's there to cry about? Whether Xiang Zhiqiang marries or not is no longer her concern.

"Xiao Jing, there's really no more fertilizer, don't blame Xiao Li for speaking harshly.

As elder sisters, we've already taken such a liberty in sending the youngest out for us, it's really quite embarrassing.

I know you were worried Xiao Li might lose the money and meant well.

But you really didn't bring money, and that was purchased based on who paid."

Xu Hongbing took a look at the situation and knew there really was no fertilizer left for them. He had suggested not coming over from the start.

The temper of the little sister-in-law was evident to him, considering last time, it was a wonder she still managed to bring some back.

But his wife was unyielding. As he said, even if the money was lost, it wasn't only meant for their household, and besides, the little sister-in-law isn't that careless a person.

So now what? Neither here nor there.

Yanli sighed. Really no solution, she was angry, but she also knew this was her Second Sister.

"Alright, stop nagging. Us sisters will give you ten bags, and Big Brother and Second Brother will also give you five bags each from their households, any more is just impossible."

Zhao Yanping smiled, knowing her baby sister was soft-hearted despite her tough speech.

Xiao Jing felt pretty embarrassed after hearing her sister's words. She really was worried about her sister, it was her first time going out, carrying so much money.

Besides, this money was earned through hard work, losing it would surely hurt.

But after hearing her sister speak, she felt particularly humiliated.

Just then, Zhang Fusheng couldn't hold it any longer. He went outside to use the bathroom.

When he returned, he coughed outside the room once, then lifted the curtain and came in.
