Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Zhao Yanping lowered her head, and now she didn't know what to say. To be honest, she really hadn't planned on getting remarried.

Being asked like this by Zhang Fusheng, she felt flustered; she hadn't thought about living with a man again. The hurt from Xiang Zhiqiang was quite profound.

She really just thought about spending her life with Hai Yan, the two of them. Actually, there wasn't anything bad about that.

"Xiao Ping, what are you worried about? Afraid of men? I'm not that man. To be honest, even when Xinhua's mom went with someone else, I didn't raise my hand, but let them go."

"Brother Zhang, I just think of us, the two of us, living our days together."

"Xiao Ping, isn't that tiring for you? You can rely on me."

"Brother Zhang, I don't rely on others. I can support the two of us by myself."

"I'm just asking you, aren't you tired?"

Zhao Yanping didn't speak, how could she not be tired? Sometimes it's not physical tiredness, but mental exhaustion. In times of difficulty, she also thought how nice it would be if a man could step up?

But she's not familiar with Zhang Fusheng, really afraid. She doesn't want to be hurt again.

"Xiao Ping, you also met my family today. They all like you very much. There won't be any family discord in the future. And I feel for you, I don't want you to be weary. I'm thinking of you living a leisurely life. Taking good care of yourself and Hai Yan.

And I'll treat Hai Yan as if she were my own daughter."

Zhao Yanping looked up at Zhang Fusheng. "Brother Zhang, your conditions are quite good; wanting to remarry shouldn't be a problem at all. Why choose me?"

Zhao Yanping knew her situation, it's right in front of her, honestly, she's really not a good match.

"It's just that night when you felt sorry for me and made dumplings for me.

To be honest, my job is very irregular, and I'm not home much. So I especially cherish the time with my family, but your caring gaze moved me."

"Brother Zhang. Just because of this?"

"Also, as I got to know you a little more, I found you to be a gentle and caring woman.

You've seen my situation too. There's an elderly mother at home, and I have a son. I can't be at ease about them when I'm away.

I hope for a kind-hearted wife at home to accompany them. In this way, I have fewer worries."

Zhang Fusheng knew that saying this might make the other person less likely to agree, but he just wanted to be honest with her.

"Brother Zhang, I can't read, and apart from farming, I don't know how to do anything else. I know city life is tough, it's difficult to live without a job. And I have to take Hai Yan with me, I don't want that."

"Xiao Ping, you're overthinking it, actually I want to say that I can completely support you two without any problem at all.

Also, I don't need you to go out to work. Rest assured, since I'm starting a family, I have the ability to support it."

"But I don't want to rely on others." Having been hurt once, she understands the importance of a woman being able to support herself.

"That's not a problem either, I can find you work that doesn't require literacy. Finding a relaxing job for you is not an issue at all.

I just want you to live an easy life." Although a city person, he's seen how tiring and difficult rural life is.

Zhao Yanping was a bit moved by the phrase wanting her to live an easy life.

Ever since she can remember, it's been all about working. Really just working.

No one ever wanted her to have an easier life.

"Brother Zhang, I might not be able to have any more children." This had to be said.

Zhang Fusheng, hearing this, knew he was about to succeed.

"What's the big deal? You have Hai Yan, I have Xinhua. We'll treat them as if they're our own in the future."

"You really don't mind this?"

"Haha, what's the big deal? To be blunt, even if we raise a few more kids, what can it do? They'll each start their own families and leave us someday.

Then it'll just be the two of us together, we're the real companions.

Actually, my biggest worry is you minding my age. But I can say I'll cherish you more than younger men. I'll love and care for you more."

Zhao Yanping was now very confused; she's someone without strong opinions. Didn't know what to do.

Zhang Fusheng was actually really nice; the two of them had spent six days and nights alone on the train, she knew he was a very responsible man. Definitely not like Xiang Zhiqiang.

But she's scared, scared of being hurt again.

"Xiao Ping, rest assured, my words are true. I won't let you be wronged."

Zhao Yanping thought about all the worries she'd voiced, and Zhang Fusheng had addressed them all.

Actually, hearing him talk like this, she was really moved.

Suddenly she looked up at Zhang Fusheng, "Will you really be good to me? Really treat Hai Yan like your own?"

"Yes, I promise, and if you don't believe me, I can swear."

Zhao Yanping shook her head, "No need. Okay, I agree. But I have to return home and discuss with the family."

Zhang Fusheng held Zhao Yanping's hand, "Of course. I'll go with you this time. Just waiting for the nod; if they agree too, then you both can come back with me."

"Will the farm agree?"

"They will. Don't worry, I'll think of something."

Zhao Yanping didn't know if this decision was right. But seeing Zhang Fusheng holding her hand, she knew she wanted to try.

Even if she gets hurt again. It's her own choice.

Now Zhang Fusheng truly smiled, not expecting this girl to agree? Did she also have a good impression of him from the start?

Zhao Yanping withdrew her hand. Blushed while continuing to stitch the shoe sole.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly thought he should hurry his sister up, so they could return to the farm sooner.

Thinking of the Zhao family's siblings, he felt there wouldn't be any issues. They're honest people. He also showed his sincerity.

And he thought about arranging things with the station. He had promised to gift the station a truckload of fertilizer annually; handling this shouldn't be difficult, right?

Zhang Fusheng sat there smiling to himself. He decided to find his sister after lunch and have her come up with a solution.

Mrs. Zhang returned with groceries, just to see the two sitting on the kang. Her son was reading the newspaper on the side, while the girl was stitching shoe soles; somehow feeling something was different between them. Moreover, her son seemed so relaxed, was this settled?

She had always thought her son was rather dense, but didn't expect there would be such a capable moment? Did he really take this to heart now?

That's good, once a son settles down, life will be happy.

Zhao Yanping watched the elderly lady return, awkwardly smiled, and with some restraint, put down the shoe sole and called out, "Aunt."
