Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

At noon, Zhang Caixia returned. She had taken a leave, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to make it.

Yang Hongming's family of five also came over. Yang Hongming's wife was very curious about Zhang Fusheng's wife. She just hadn't had the courage to visit.

When she saw Zhao Yanping, she thought to herself, Zhang Fusheng indeed has good taste. No wonder he wasn't interested in her own sister.

There's really no comparison. Her sister can't compare at all. Not even in age or looks.

Moreover, watching her work so efficiently, Zhang Fusheng really has good fortune.

The children gathered to play together. Hai Yan was the youngest, but she quietly sat beside Zhang Xinhua.

Yang Hongming and his wife chatted with Mrs. Zhang.

"Aunt, you can rest assured about Fusheng now."

"Indeed? I hoped someone could accompany him. At my age, how many more years do I have left to live?

If I'm gone, what will he do? Now that he has someone with him, I feel at ease."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smiling face. She was really very satisfied with Zhao Yanping.

"Aunt, you can just look forward to holding grandchildren in the future."

These were thoughtless words. Mrs. Zhang understood but didn't want her daughter-in-law to be criticized later. "Fusheng already has a son and a daughter; whether they have more children later is not a big deal. They have both a son and a daughter."

"Ah, Aunt Zhang, you truly are a good mother-in-law." She thought in her heart with genuine envy. When a woman gets married, having a mother-in-law who understands her is a blessing.

"It's good for both sides, as Xiao Ping is good, I will treat her well.

Although we don't care about the dowry or anything, Xiao Ping did bring over more than two thousand jin of grain, meat, oil, and cotton."

Mrs. Zhang meant to promote her daughter-in-law, so others won't look down on her.

"Haha, this sister-in-law really is capable. Aunt, is working on the farm usually this profitable?" Yang Hongming's wife was really surprised. Having grain is normal since they farm, but having so much made people envious.

"I just heard a bit. Xiao Ping and her sister planted one hundred acres of land. They planted quite a bit of wheat and cotton, so the money seems more, right?"

The elderly woman was also unsure. After all, they lived in the city and really didn't know much about it.

Everyone happily had a meal, and Zhao Yanping had already been brought into the light at the Zhang Family. Outside, they all said she was Zhang Fusheng's wife.

The days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth of Lunar December. Every household was filled with New Year's festivities.

Xiang Zhiqiang and Ma Dongmei had enough of the novelty by then.

"We still don't have meat for the New Year."

Xiang Zhiqiang frowned. "I'll go outside and buy a few jin. At the very least, we need to eat dumplings."

Actually, he wanted to say that since the Ma Family slaughtered a pig, why hadn't they sent some over?

"Go ahead, don't get too little." Ma Dongmei wasn't stupid; she knew that only when she spent the money herself was it hers.

Xiang Zhiqiang finally left the house. Originally a strong young man, but this period of fooling around with Ma Dongmei made him seem not as robust.

He unknowingly walked to the door of Zheng Lanying's house. However, he wasn't an idiot; he still knew to avoid the Ma Family people.

Zheng Lanying lived in regret every day. But there was no regret medicine in the world. So her mood was extremely poor, even when the corn was handed over and she got money, it didn't cheer her up.

This day she was still sitting on the kang husking corn. She imagined the corn in her hand was Xiang Zhiqiang, wishing she could kill him.

"Lan Ying, Lan Ying."

While she was hating him, she didn't expect him to come at this time.

Zheng Lanying now felt terrified hearing Xiang Zhiqiang's voice. She didn't know if he knew about their situation.

Actually, she hoped that Xiang Zhiqiang didn't know.

"Lan Ying. Open the door." Xiang Zhiqiang was a bit anxious. Although he chose Ma Dongmei, who had better conditions, Zheng Lanying did look better than Ma Dongmei, and what isn't his makes him miss it more. Besides, they had a relationship.

Zheng Lanying just sat on the kang without moving. Now she didn't know what to do. In fact, when the incident first happened, she thought about accusing Xiang Zhiqiang. But she was clearly aware that her reputation would be completely ruined at that point.

"Lan Ying. Lan Ying, don't stay silent. I know I'm not a decent person. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Hearing these words, Zheng Lanying was so angry that she trembled. Is this even considered a man? Damn it, you took so long to come over, and you call this being good?

Zheng Lanying sneered. This man really surprised her, thinking he was just an uneducated bumpkin, but she didn't expect him to want to enjoy both worlds?

Although Xiang Zhiqiang was speaking at the door, his eyes kept watching the Ma Family doorway. He was afraid someone from the Ma Family might suddenly come out.

Hearing no response from inside, Xiang Zhiqiang knew he couldn't linger there.

"Lan Ying, don't be mad. I'll come to see you later."

After saying that, he hurried away. If someone from the Ma Family came out and saw him, it would really be over.

Thinking about where he could ask for some pork. Otherwise, he intended to deliver some pork to Zheng Lanying. She liked things and loved to eat.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhiqiang sped up his pace.

He bought two pieces of two-jin meat from Old Chen's family.

He really gave one piece to Zheng Lanying, as there would be a future, right?

Previously, he wouldn't have dared, but after getting two girls the other day, it made him swell with pride. It's a blessing many dream of to have both worlds, and he got it.

He happily thought of having two women.

He once again arrived at Zheng Lanying's door.

"Lan Ying, I brought you some meat. We must eat dumplings on the New Year's Eve. Don't be angry. I'll come to see you in a few days."

After saying this, he left the piece of meat and walked away. Zheng Lanying heard the commotion outside. She waited quite a while before going out and saw the piece of meat at the door; how much is two jin of meat?

Her face filled with a cold sneer. She thought to herself that from now on she could only use him, and let him take advantage of her again? That would be nothing but a dream.

She picked up the meat and went back inside. She wouldn't pretend to be too proud to take it.

Xiang Zhiqiang went home and saw Ma Dongmei still lying in the bed.

Now that the novelty had worn off, he found her very displeasing.

Ma Dongmei looked at Xiang Zhiqiang who had just come in, lengthened her face, and sneered, "What? Didn't Zheng Lanying see you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get up. I bought the meat."

"If you bought it, you bought it; you should cook then."

Recently, it had always been Xiang Zhiqiang cooking, which was something Ma Dongmei was pleased about. Now someone was serving her.
