Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The couple tidied everything up, and the basic necessities were also arranged. In fact, the household had already prepared the food supplies.

"We didn't give them enough money," Yuanyuan said, feeling a bit embarrassed as she looked at the food in the kitchen.

"It's fine, just give them some more beef jerky," he replied.

After bathing the kids and putting them to sleep, only then did they start to make dinner.

On their first day living there, the place should feel lively, so Yuanyuan cooked rice porridge, and Tan Shaoting went out to buy some green vegetables.

Even though there was a possibility of conflict nearby, people's lives hadn't changed much.

In the evening, Tan Shaoting seemed insatiable, again and again.

"That's enough," Yuanyuan's voice quivered.

"Honey, I might have to leave tomorrow," Tan Shaoting said, truly reluctant.

"Go ahead. The kids and I will be fine. But make sure to prioritize safety above all else."

"Yes, I know, nothing is more important than you and the kids."

After Yuanyuan fell asleep, Tan Shaoting watched over them, never getting enough.

The next day, Tan Shaoting woke up and cooked porridge again. After eating, he hugged and kissed each child.

Having already given all the instructions, there was nothing more to say now.

After seeing Tan Shaoting off, the smile on Yuanyuan's face quickly faded, replaced by worry.

This kind of job is really unbearable. She couldn't take living in such constant anxiety.

Seizing the time when the kids were napping, she slowly started adding small necessities around the house.

With his task assigned, Tan Shaoting departed immediately, on his own this time.

The weather there was mild, so Yuanyuan cleaned up the yard and planted some vegetables. Gardening was also a good way to pass the time.

That day, she was pushing the three kids around the yard in a custom-made stroller, which they were enjoying.

"Yuanyuan, it's Ruan Lingyu," came a voice.

After greeting her, Yuanyuan invited her inside.

"Yuanyuan, how are you adjusting?"

"It's okay," Yuanyuan replied.

Ruan Lingyu watched Yuanyuan, who had changed so much, and felt a bit envious. No matter how she looked at her before, Yuanyuan was just a naive girl. But after not seeing her for over two years, she had completely transformed into a beautiful woman.

Well, having children certainly changes a person.

Upon seeing the three children, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Yuanyuan, your kids are so adorable," she said.

"They're alright," Yuanyuan modestly replied.

"Oh, I'm tempted to have kids myself now. I'm just afraid they won't be this cute."

The conversation was a bit awkward, but hearing that definitely made her happy.

"Are they close to being able to sit up?"

"Yes, while they're lying down it's a bit more manageable. Once they sit, crawling won't be far off."

"Well, I'll help you out when I have time," Ruan Lingyu offered.

"Aren't you gardening anymore?"

"No, I got too lazy and didn't want to farm. I'll have plenty of time in the future."

It was getting late. Though Yuanyuan invited Ruan Lingyu to stay for dinner, she declined.

"Having you, a woman caring for three kids, cook for me—I'd need a huge heart to eat happily. No, I'll head home. Visit me whenever. It's no trouble."

Day by day passed, and all three children could sit very steadily now. A month had gone by.

Yuanyuan was getting the hang of watching over the three kids by herself. They could sit in the stroller now, and every day they would go out for a walk. She had become somewhat of a local celebrity, not because she was particularly famous, but because the three identical children won the hearts of many.

Going out daily attracted plenty of playful attention.

Having completed several tasks together, Tan Shaoting was praised and even reported directly to his superiors, leading to a promotion being secured.

Without even waiting for a chat with Zhang Chunsheng, he hurried back home.

But when he arrived, the door was locked. It was just past three in the afternoon, they must have gone out with the kids.

Turning around, Tan Shaoting went to find them. After taking a few steps, he realized he was a bit disheveled, so he pulled out his keys and entered the house.

Once inside, he used a Cleaning Technique on himself before heading out again.

Sensing Yuanyuan's location, he followed it.

Tan Shaoting would remember this moment his entire life—his wife walking toward him in the sunlight, pushing a stroller holding the three kids.

He stopped and squinted, watching his wife slowly approach.

Yuanyuan also caught sight of Tan Shaoting, just standing there watching them.

He had finally come back; her worried heart finally settled. The three kids also were all looking at Tan Shaoting, moving the usually stoic man deeply.

Suddenly, Tan Shaoting sprang into action, running up to grab Yuanyuan's hand.

"Yuanyuan, I'm back," he said.

Yuanyuan was a little emotional. "This is perfect," she said. Returning safe and sound was the best thing.

Tan Shaoting saw the three kids looking at him blankly.

He crouched down, scooping up all three of them, giving them each a kiss. These were his flesh and blood, his children.

The whole way home Yuanyuan pushed the empty stroller. Tan Shaoting carried the children, responding to their babbling.

This scene etched deeply into both their hearts.

In the setting sun, the family slowly made their way home.

Upon reaching the house, Tan Shaoting set the kids down, unlocked the door, and wheeled the stroller into the yard.

Just after Yuanyuan closed the door and turned around, Tan Shaoting hugged her.

Urgently, he kissed her, finally feeling that he was truly back.

Initially, Yuanyuan was comforting him, but when he didn't stop, she quickly pushed him away.

"The kids are still here," she pointed out.

Tan Shaoting stopped, painfully aware. Seeing the three kids looking at them, he began to feel embarrassed.

Yuanyuan chuckled quietly at the side—this is what happens when you don't pick the right time and place.

While Yuanyuan cooked, Tan Shaoting bathed the kids and gave them Spiritual Spring Water to drink.

He knew that they would be able to cultivate in the future.

He deeply regretted not paying attention to the cultivation techniques he never imagined he'd need. Now that he needed them, they were nowhere to be found.

The little ones were now quite attached to their dad, and they enjoyed playing with him.

Yuanyuan knew that Tan Shaoting loved dumplings, so she made three-flavor dumplings for him.

After Tan Shaoting took over cooking the dumplings, she went on to feed the children.

Honestly, feeding them was now quite a struggle; after a while, they'd still need formula milk to fall asleep.

There was no helping it; feeding three kids on her own meant even if she tried her hardest to eat well, it was not enough.

Walking in, Tan Shaoting saw this scene and felt his body tense up.
