Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Rice, egg custard. Stir-fried bok choy with oil. There's also a seafood soup.

When Zeng Hongling came back and saw such a meal, she smiled happily.

"Yuanyuan, look, how do you think my haul today is?"

"Not bad, we'll have it tonight."

"Should I go again this afternoon?"

"You should settle down a bit, look how tan you've gotten."

"It's okay, a little tan is fine, I think it looks good too." Zeng Hongling smiled narcissistically.

Su Yuanyuan felt like an old mother, since the girl herself didn't mind the tan, she said nothing more.

Because the rain was too heavy this time, the village's fishing boats didn't go out to sea. This was a rare leisure time, so all the villagers went to the fields to work, to salvage as much as they could, otherwise, let alone fulfilling their duties, even the villagers themselves wouldn't have enough to eat.

Even the children didn't have time to go to the seaside with Zeng Hongling, so she stopped going.

Su Yuanyuan thought she probably just enjoyed going out to play with the children.

The two were at home chatting and organizing things.

"Yuanyuan, the things we have can't be transported back with our own vehicles, hiring a truck is too wasteful."

"Let's just hire a truck. It's convenient."

"Aren't we going to collect more?"

"I'm too hot, I don't want to move."

"Shall I go by myself?"

"Let's wait until the roads dry up before talking about it." To go out again, they'd have to go to a further village, definitely not to the city now, there's no point in getting worked up.

As for Zhou Yongheng, he angrily returned to the sanatorium that day.

Zhou Changchun understood his grandson, he was very conflicted at this time. He wanted Su Yuanyuan's connections but despised her for having been with a man and having a child.

Now looking at his grandson's expression, he couldn't quite describe his feelings. It should be more disappointment than happiness. The Zhou family always wanted to advance, just that with himself still alive, none of the sons' generation turned out outstanding.

With the grandson's generation, the eldest grandson was quite good. But he didn't have real power now, to advance further, both grandfather and grandson were striving, but the effect was really insignificant.

He no longer had any real power in his hands now. He couldn't do anything he wanted to. All he had was a title to hold on to.

Zhou Yongheng sat on one side frowning, thinking about how to deal with Su Yuanyuan.

"Eternal, stop thinking about it, just settle with Xiaoqin from your Uncle Chen's family."

Zhou Yongheng was already in a bad mood, and hearing his grandfather bring up Chen Xiuqin, he felt disgusted.

That woman is really too ugly, just seeing her would immediately make him feel bad.

"I disagree, I really can't stand it, that woman even has a female odor. I can't stand it.

Grandpa, that would affect the next generation."

Zhou Changchun sighed, with his grandson opposing this way, could he force him?

"Eternal, you find Su Yuanyuan good, but that woman doesn't cooperate."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, I will definitely find a way to make that woman suffer, she really is ungrateful. I will definitely catch her weak spot."

Zhou Changchun thought for a moment, "Eternal, try to find Wu Guobin, that person was almost hit by Su Yuanyuan's car. Later, she even pointed a gun at his head."

Zhou Yongheng heard his grandfather's words, "I know, I will try to investigate it, anyway, I can't let this go, that bastard woman really looks down on me."

Zhou Changchun was also filled with anger. "Find Wu Guobin, have him write a letter of accusation, I'll find a way to get it on the big leader's desk."

Zhou Yongheng nodded, went to find Wu Guobin. But a day later he found out that he was taken down by Shao Hongming and couldn't be found after searching.

"Did Shao Hongming harm this person? This is such a good opportunity." The more Zhou Yongheng spoke, the more excited he became.

This time, the grandfather and grandson were willing to use their connections to find Wu Guobin no matter what.

Shao Huade got the news that the Zhou family was actually looking for Wu Guobin, nowadays, Zhou Changchun really became more shameless.

But he knew that the Zhou family wouldn't find Wu Guobin at all.

Nonetheless, he still called his son. To tell him the situation with the Zhou family.

"Dad, I got it."

Fortunately, Wu Guobin is now on our side, and his work looks promising. It really could drive the Zhou family anxious.

The Zhou family, grandchild and grandfather were gathered together in the evening again. They were a bit anxious. How could they not find any trace of Wu Guobin? Could he already be dead?

"Grandpa, we've used all our people, yet there's no clue of Wu Guobin's whereabouts."

"Eternal, just leave it for now, revenge for a gentleman takes ten years. There are lots of opportunities."

But Zhou Yongheng was unwilling, his mind was full of Su Yuanyuan, without venting his anger, he felt he would go crazy.

"No, I'll figure it out myself, I'll get someone to write that letter of accusation. Anyway, I must curb Su Yuanyuan's arrogance."

Zhou Changchun couldn't do anything with his grandson, sighed, "Fine, you find someone to write it, I'll find someone to get it to the big leader's desk."

Their plan was that, even if they couldn't do anything to Su Yuanyuan, they could definitely give her a bad impression in the big leader's mind, and dealing with her would be much easier then.

Su Yuanyuan was completely unaware of the Zhou family's dirty thoughts, but even if she knew, she would have surely pushed back directly.

Five days after the weather cleared, the two girls drove out again.

And indeed, there were quite a lot of harvests, which made the two girls even more motivated.

This day, when they were about to pack up and head home, an old man with a cane suddenly came over.

"Girls, I have good stuff at home, I didn't dare bring it here, please come to my house to have a look."

Su Yuanyuan already knew the old man truly had good stuff, "Madam, wait a moment, we'll load up our car and come with you to have a look."

Zeng Hongling looked at Su Yuanyuan in surprise, knowing how indifferent the girl was, she would never follow someone home just for the good stuff they claimed.

The two packed quickly, the things collected in the afternoon were still on the ground, while the ones from the morning were already on the truck.

Su Yuanyuan slowly walked with the old lady, and Zeng Hongling drove behind them.

The two followed the old man into his house, it seemed like he lived alone, although he looked old, everything was particularly tidy.

"Girls, have a seat, I'll find it out for you to see."

"Yuanyuan, do you know what it is?"

"How could I know? Let's wait patiently."

After a while, the old man shakily brought out a black wooden box.

She placed it directly on the table, "Girls, take a look at this, this was crafted by my grandaunt."
