Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Mrs. Zhou grew more and more excited as she spoke; this was indeed a good idea.

Although the daughters and their husbands were workers with their own supplies, buying fine grains and meat wasn't that easy.

Given these conditions, being able to buy from the farm would be the best.

"Alright, no problem, Mom. Just think about what is needed? I'll bring it back this time."

Mrs. Zhou realized the benefits from the farm now.

"Bring back some more white flour, also some for your three sisters."

"Mom, we don't need to buy any. I have fifteen hundred pounds of wheat saved up myself."

"Alright, then. We won't buy. Help each of your sisters' families bring back two hundred pounds, and I'll give you the money."

The four of them ate while listening to the mother and daughter discuss what was needed. Their bond grew stronger. Emotions are formed through interaction.

After dinner, Zhou Yongbing took the responsibility of washing dishes while the old couple went to soak their feet.

Zhao Yanli cleaned up the kitchen and went for a wash.

She knew what the wedding night implied. Honestly, she was quite nervous.

Zhou Yongbing watched her pretending to be calm and found it quite amusing, which made him not nervous at all.

After they both cleaned up, they lay straight in bed, not daring to look at each other.

The man was bolder in this aspect. Zhou Yongbing lifted his wife's blanket and slid into her bed amidst her slightly fearful gaze.

They fumbled around for the first time, without a pleasant experience. But there was a spirit of exploration.

The next day, at seven, Zhao Yanli struggled to open her eyes. Too tired, more exhausting than working. This kind of exhaustion seemed insurmountable.

Seeing her husband holding her, she realized why she felt so tired.

They had been up in the latter half of the night. Zhou Yongbing was sleeping soundly. Feeling his soft wife move in his arms, he finally opened his eyes.

"Wife."

Upon hearing Zhou Yongbing's call, Zhao Yanli smiled. Yes, she was his wife, and he was her man.

"Let me go; I have to get up and make breakfast."

"You don't have to. Mom and Dad will definitely prepare it."

"Still need to get up. You continue to sleep."

They tussled for a bit. Zhou Yongbing pinned his wife down again.

"Let me go, Mom and Dad should be getting up."

"No problem, no problem." Mom and Dad had long been hoping for him to get married and have children.

The Zhou couple got up cautiously, and Mr. Zhou lit a fire for the young couple. However, they still went outside to buy fried dough sticks for breakfast.

By eight o'clock, Zhao Yanli finally got up.

Seeing the breakfast outside, she felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhou Yongbing didn't. His face was beaming, full of smiles.

They ate breakfast sweetly, "Wife, I'm going to drive."

"Go to my elder sister's house to find me, and leave my luggage and the fruits I brought back at her place. I've already prepared what I'm giving to my elder brother."

"Alright, you just wait at home for me. I'll load up at my elder sister's place and then come home to pick you up."

"I'm fine; I'll just wait for you at my elder sister's house."

Zhao Yanping looked at her different younger sister. Truly blessed her.

Over at the border, even Su Yuanyuan felt a bit restless. Tan Shaoting had been gone for twenty days already; she didn't know before, but ever since she came here, he never went away for so long.

Waiting anxiously indeed. She pushed the child to find Zhang Chunsheng.

Zhang Chunsheng was also waiting anxiously.

This task was led by Tan Shaoting. It was indeed a bit difficult, but it was much simpler than the tasks he had carried out himself. It shouldn't lead to such a disconnection.

Upon hearing from the guard that someone was looking for him, he guessed it must be Su Yuanyuan. After all, it was normal for her to come looking for her husband who had been away so long.

But even he didn't know; people had already been sent over.

"Xiao Su, I knew it was you. Come to my office."

Seeing Zhang Chunsheng's demeanor, Su Yuanyuan felt even more uncertain.

She pushed the child along behind. In the past, the three kids wouldn't ride in a pram. They'd just walk on their own since they could walk.

But these three kids were relatively sensitive, perhaps sensing their mother's bad mood, so they obediently sat in the pram.

Entered Zhang Chunsheng's office.

"Xiao Su, sit down."

Su Yuanyuan didn't say a word, just stared at Zhang Chunsheng like that.

Actually, she was just a bit worried but still had confidence in Tan Shaoting's self-preservation skills.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Tan and his team are out of contact, but people have already been sent to find them."

"Where did they go?"

"Xiao Su, you know these are the rules."

"It's already come to this. Besides, you know my situation, just tell me the location; can I really leak it?"

"No. Someone's been sent to find them already. Don't worry."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not at ease."

This was said quite bluntly.

"Xiao Su, even if I told you, you have three kids to care for, you can't do anything anyway."

"At least I'd know where he is."

In the end, Zhang Chunsheng really had no choice but to tell Su Yuanyuan.

Back home, she calculated the approximate route. Without a car, it's really unrealistic to go.

Looking down at the three kids staring confusedly at her, she realized she still had the burden here.

In this situation, she really felt utterly frustrated. Helpless.

The three kids cautiously hugged Su Yuanyuan's leg.

She patted the kids' heads, "It's alright, we'll just wait for your dad to come back."

Thinking in her heart, she had to get a car in the future, too inconvenient.

But that would easily expose her. So it was still unfeasible.

Worried about him every day. But even after three more days, there was still no news. Even the second team sent to find them also lost contact.

Now she understood the gravity of the situation. When Su Yuanyuan came over again, Zhang Chunsheng also spoke the truth.

"Mr. Zhang, could I have a car? I want to go see for myself?"

"That's not possible; it's too dangerous."

Su Yuanyuan just stared at Zhang Chunsheng intently, making the man uncomfortable.

"You also have three kids."

"Thank you, but don't worry. The kids are most important in my heart; I wouldn't recklessly do anything."

"I have no authority."

"Then I'll go find the leader."

Su Yuanyuan, though appearing calm on the surface, was actually quite anxious inside.

Zhang Chunsheng also felt helpless. Tan Shaoting had once said that no matter what, never let his wife fall into danger.

But seeing the stubborn Su Yuanyuan like this, he felt powerless.

He could have ignored this, but if she really left by herself, dealing with the aftermath would be even more troublesome.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't need to follow me inside. I'll persuade the leader myself."

Zhang Chunsheng waited outside with great anxiety, not knowing the situation inside. He thought the leader wouldn't agree. After all, a woman with three kids.
