Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"Xiao Li, your brother-in-law mentioned that he arranged for two truckloads of fertilizer."

"At least ten tons should go to the factory, if Zhou Yongbing provides another truck. Two trucks stay home, and the remaining two go to the farm."

Yuanyuan once told herself that if she had something good, she shouldn't use it alone if everyone knew she had it.

The fertilizer was specially instructed; even if she came to collect it and gave ten tons to the farm, it had to be given.

Yanli put on her coat and went to the fertilizer plant to find the director. He didn't make any excuses and directly took Zhao Yanping to pay.

However, Yanli felt a bit embarrassed. She untied a bundle from her waist in front of so many people, which contained exactly the money for ten tons of fertilizer.

She felt quite embarrassed, but others didn't find anything strange about it, mainly because this was quite normal, wasn't it?

With the delivery order in hand, Yanli felt more at ease. Her brother-in-law would provide two trucks, and if she went to find Zhou Yongbing, she heard he went out with her brother-in-law. This way, they would hear news by tomorrow.

Yanli went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some glutinous rice sticks, four pounds of pastries, and saw that they sold sour pears. She bought a few pears, knowing they couldn't be bought in quantity in case no one ate them, as throwing them away wouldn't be a pity.

When she got home, Mrs. Zhang and Yanping both complained that Yanli was spending money recklessly.

Yanli just smiled and coaxed Hai Yan into eating the glutinous rice sticks.

In the morning, she could come empty-handed, which was understandable, but after finishing her own tasks, if she still came empty-handed, the Zhang Family wouldn't say anything, but in their hearts, they might look down a little on the elder sister, thinking the Zhao Family didn't know the rules.

In the afternoon, Yanli supported Yanping for a walk in the yard for a while. It was mainly because she was about to give birth. They really didn't dare let her get tired out.

Dinner was dumplings. She felt more at ease seeing how her brother-in-law's son cared for Hai Yan.

This was good. Even though they weren't blood-related, they were now siblings. If the relationship was good, it would be much easier for the elder sister, and she wouldn't be in a difficult position.

After all, she came over with a child. It's really not good to have conflicts over this.

They were worried Zhang Fusheng might come back tonight. So they left the raw dumplings directly, putting them in the yard, so they could freeze quickly.

After dinner, they walked around the house for a while. Yanli then helped her elder sister wash up.

At night, it was just the sisters lying on the kang, and they started talking about Xiang Zhiqiang.

"Xiao Li, I think I should thank the old couple from the Xiang Family, otherwise who knows what could have happened to me."

"Alright, big sister, don't overthink. I told you because I was afraid that when Hai Yan grows up, she might hear about this from outside."

This was something they, as siblings, had discussed and should not be hidden.

"I know, I'm very blessed now; your brother-in-law treats me well, my mother-in-law and Xinhua treat me well too. What else could I be unsatisfied with? It's just very emotional."

"Alright, hurry up and sleep, but don't tire yourself out."

"I took a nap in the afternoon, so I'm not sleepy now. Are you going back with the truck carrying the fertilizer?"

"No, I'm going to check on Yuanyuan. I haven't seen how she's doing; I'm always worried."

"You must be careful on the road alone." She really worried about this girl, why is she so wild? Ever since she came here, she's always thinking of going out and about.

"There's nothing dangerous; I can get a sleeper ticket over there, and I'll just stay on the train. What danger could there be?"

"Still, be careful. Your brother-in-law mentioned there are still human traffickers out there."

"Am I that dumb? That I'd let someone trick me? Don't worry. Just wait for me to bring you back some dried fruits."

Yanping listened to her younger sister's words and laughed. This girl, she still hadn't grown up.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Fusheng did come back. Yanli wanted to get up and sleep with the elderly, but Zhang Fusheng refused.

The next day, when she got up, Yanli saw her brother-in-law caring so much for her elder sister. She felt that her elder sister really married the right person. This was good; they lived far apart, but as long as her elder sister could be happy, their siblings would be at ease.

After breakfast, Zhang Fusheng decided to take Yanli to finalize the fertilizer arrangements so that they could stay at the hospital with peace of mind.

"Brother-in-law, I'd like to ask about Zhou Yongbing."

"Sure, he mentioned on the road that this year's fertilizer is still for you guys."

"That's good; the household can keep two trucks. If they kept two trucks and gave one to the factory, it always felt not quite right. Like this, each receives two trucks, and no one can say anything."

Zhang Fusheng rode with Yanli to find Zhou Yongbing, and the three of them went to the hotel to find Accountant Zhang. The four of them went to the fertilizer plant.

For the other three truckloads of fertilizer, two were paid for by Accountant Zhang.

They confirmed the loading date was in three days. Then they went to the transportation team; arranging four trucks was still against regulations, but with Zhang Fusheng and Zhou Yongbing, this matter was also taken care of.

"Xiao Li, I'll just wait at the hotel."

"Accountant Zhang, here are my two delivery orders. Please handle them together. My big sister is about to give birth, and besides, I want to go check on Yuanyuan, so I won't go back with you."

Accountant Zhang knew about it. Director Feng had already told him, so he smiled and took all the paperwork.

"Don't worry, I'll have the truck go back directly."

When they got home, Mrs. Zhang had already prepared lunch.

In the afternoon, Yanli accompanied them to the hospital. Seeing everything was ready, she was once again impressed by how Zhang Fusheng's family truly cared for her elder sister.

She stayed with Yanping in the hospital room, while Zhang Fusheng was busy running around.

"Xiao Li, I'm lucky to have you, I'm more at ease with you accompanying your elder sister."

The words from Zhang Fusheng were comforting.

Everything was arranged, "Xiao Li, go home. Hai Yan still needs your care."

"Alright, I'm reassured with brother-in-law here, I'll come over in the evening to bring you meals."

"No need, it'll get cold by the time you bring it over. We'll eat at the hospital canteen; don't worry, the food here is quite good," Zhang Fusheng said with a smile.

Yanli also figured that was the case, so she didn't insist. She couldn't ride a bicycle, so she just walked back home.

Although Hai Yan was still young, she was told that her mom went to the hospital to give birth to her little brother. So when Yanli returned, she saw the little girl sitting on the threshold, staring at the door.

Seeing her old aunt come in, the little girl rushed over. "Auntie, where's my mom and little brother?"

"Your mom is at the hospital, waiting to bring your little brother home once he's born. You be good and wait at home."

"When will mom come back?"

"Once your little brother is born, she'll come back. Then you'll be a big sister."

The little girl smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'll be a big sister."
