Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"Okay, thank you. In that case, we won't charge rent."

Zeng Hongling shook her head, "You still have to pay, don't be so formal."

So that was settled. The two girls hurriedly left, at the very least they had to prepare two pots for boiling water. They also needed a kang mat, and some sort of cabinet.

Even though it's just for three months, we don't want to inconvenience ourselves.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was still open. They bought everything except the cabinet.

They rushed back and said they could move in the next day.

The two came back just in time for dinner. After eating, Yuanyuan went to find Jiang Zhiyong.

"Thanks for your care for a while, we're moving out tomorrow."

"Xiao Su, it's convenient to live here." After all, there's a service for everything, even if you don't want to wash your clothes, there's someone to help with that.

"No need, there are more and more people here, I don't like the noise, I'd rather live outside, it's quieter."

"Okay, you can come over for meals sometimes. Master Li will miss you if he knows you're not staying here."

In the evening, the two of them strolled along the seaside, "Yuanyuan, should we continue collecting old items?"

"Let's do it, it makes both of us happy. I'll go find some enamelware to exchange."

"Haha, I also feel like it fulfills my value. I'm happy."

"I think so too, I feel happy as well."

Shao Hongming called out to Yuanyuan from behind.

"Yuanyuan, I'm leaving tomorrow. If you need anything, give me a call. My dad is still here."

"Sure, I know."

"Why bother moving out? Living here is so convenient."

"I don't like that there are too many people here."

"Just don't see them as people? Actually, it's good that you're leaving, Zhou Yongheng is coming over too."

"I can't stand the Zhou Family."

Shao Hongming just laughed, he knew it. He actually didn't like the Zhou Family either.

Zeng Hongling listened to the conversation between the two. She found it quite amusing. Shao Hongming was really quite humble, that's the feeling she got.

"Are you going to Taolin Port?"

Yuanyuan didn't hide it and nodded, "I've already found a place this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll come to find you then."

Yuanyuan wasn't willing to say no anymore, maybe they all thought she was just being polite. But she really didn't want to have too much contact with them.

Only Shao Huade knew that Yuanyuan and her companion were leaving the next day.

"She really doesn't like it here. Actually, I don't like staying here either, but Yuanyuan definitely won't want me to follow."

Shao Hongming didn't know what to say. Yuanyuan definitely wouldn't want that, she just doesn't like trouble.

She probably wants to go out and collect old items. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters.

He knew that. Even if someone reported her, nothing would come of it. Yuanyuan might not be perfect, but she wouldn't let anyone catch her out.

"Are you leaving tomorrow too?"

"Yes, I'll come back before July 15th."

"How come this girl is so persistent? It's been two years already. Can there be any hope left?

Hasn't two years been enough for her to move on? They say she lost her memory, she should have forgotten. Why is she still so persistent?"

"Maybe that's just the kind of person she is."

"Shao Ming, are you confident you'll succeed?"

Shao Hongming shook his head, "No." He finished with a wry smile. She gave others no hope at all.

The next day, Yuanyuan still left after breakfast.

Zhou Changchun watched them both carrying luggage. "Old Shao, what does this mean? Treating this place like a hotel?"

"Old Zhou, you're meddling too much. Just stop talking. Xiao Su has left here."

"Left? Where to?"

"Didn't mention a specific address."

Zhou Changchun was dumbfounded. How could she just leave? His grandson was already on his way. How did Yuanyuan just leave?

"Let's play chess, let's play chess. Young people have their own decisions." Shao Huade pulled Zhou Changchun to play chess.

They had already inquired and found out there was a carpenter in the village, so they drove over directly. They ordered two chests, a table, two chairs, a few small stools, and two large wooden basins for bathing. There were so many items that they couldn't fit everything in the car, so they arranged for delivery.

The Li Family's new house had a large entrance, big enough to accommodate a cart, so the car could drive right into the courtyard.

To be honest, the two girls were really satisfied with the place.

"Yuanyuan, I'm going to learn how to make seafood. I'll cook for you later."

"Are you sure?" Yuanyuan was very doubtful. This girl was really not great at cooking. Not even as good as her brother.

"Remove the word 'sure'. I can do it."

Yuanyuan didn't want to dampen the girl's confidence. She had no idea where her confidence came from.

The two tidied up, "Yuanyuan, we didn't buy food, ingredients, or even bowls and chopsticks."

"I'll go out later. Can you plant the spring onions the village chief gave us?"

"Yes, I definitely can."

Yuanyuan drove out again, planning to use the grain from the space.

She knew there was a lot of fat meat in there, and right now these things were hard to come by, so she thought of giving ten pounds to the village chief. The old man had been really kind to her.

There was also Wang Er and the other three, they still had to go with her this year.

So two hours later, she returned with sixty pounds of lard and tallow.

Of course, they also had ten pounds of peanut oil, fifty pounds of rice, fifty pounds of white flour, and only ten pounds of cornmeal since she didn't like it, along with ten pounds of sorghum rice. Grain, oil, salt, vinegar, and a bottle of sesame oil. They also had a piece of pork and a piece of beef, not much, maybe just a pound or two each.

Bowls, chopsticks, enamel basins, plates, tea mugs. It seemed like they were planning to stay for a long time.

Anyway, everything was in abundance, and the two of them had no problem living comfortably.

"Yuanyuan, why is there so much fat meat?"

"To render oil. I'm going to give them some."

The old village chief saw the gleaming white lard and was genuinely impressed.

"Xiao Su, I'll give you seven yuan for this fatty meat crust."

Yuanyuan didn't hold back and took it.

She had the village chief's great-grandson take her to Wang Er's house.

"Xiao Su, thank you so much. At the supply and marketing cooperative, pork costs seven cents a pound. I'm getting a good deal. I'll also give you seven cents a pound. Is there ten pounds here?"

"Alright, just give me seven yuan. I also brought some for the other three families."

"Xiao Su, you just sit at home. I'll have the kids call them over."

Wang Er instructed the three kids at home to call the others and told them to bring money. This fatty meat crust, even if you wanted to spend a yuan, you might not be able to buy so much.
