Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The old man sighed after finishing his words and went into the house. His son was already twenty-six. He still didn't have a wife.

It was just the father and son left at home. He hoped to have a grandchild soon.

Tan Shaoting knew the ring was in the box the old man brought out.

The old man handed it to Tan Shaoting, "Take a look for yourself, it's all here. I've already sold the gold. That's the only way I can get my son a proper job. I just hope these can bring in some money, then I can buy a house for my son, and I'll be satisfied."

Tan Shaoting took it and opened it. Inside was a ring that attracted him, along with a pair of decent-looking bracelets, and two Peace Pendants.

Both of them knew quite a lot about jade, and these things were all good.

"Uncle, these are all good. Name your price."

"You've taken a fancy to all of them?"

"Yes, the hairpin is for my wife, the bracelets are for my daughter as dowry, the Peace Pendants for my sons, one each. I quite like this ring."

"You look so young, and you already have three kids?"

"Yes, I married early."

"Okay, then I'll say it. These have been passed down for ages. My grandfather said they were handed down from his grandfather's elders.

If you want all of them, just give me three hundred dollars."

Tan Shaoting didn't immediately nod. It really wasn't expensive, especially this ring. Even if he asked for five hundred, he would have taken it.

The old man looked at Tan Shaoting nervously. He had found out that buying a house in the county would cost around two hundred seventy or eighty.

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Alright, I'll take them."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, "Young man, you definitely won't lose out. These old items are worth it."

Tan Shaoting nodded, took the money from his bag, counted three hundred, and handed it to the old man.

"Uncle, count it."

The old man took the money, his hands trembling slightly. This was his hope for future grandchildren.

"That's right, that's right."

Tan Shaoting stood up, "Uncle, that's it then. I'll take my leave."

"Alright, alright."

The old man's grandfather's generation was also wealthy, but his father didn't live up to expectations, got into opium, and the family fell apart. However, he was educated from a young age. Even at his age, he could still read people well.

He had noticed that this young man was definitely not an ordinary person.

After getting into the car, Tan Shaoting felt an urgent emotion in his heart.

He didn't leave. Instead, he took out the ring and directly dripped blood on it to recognize its master.

But nothing changed. However, he felt the emotions he wanted.

What did he want? Tan Shaoting didn't know either.

He took out the items required for the task and the report from the Storage Ring. Everything else was his own, so he followed his heart and placed the ring into the Storage Ring.

He felt a booming sound in his brain. What was happening? He shook his head, and after a while, he felt a bit clearer.

The Divine Sense wanted to probe into the Storage Ring, but it was directly repelled outside.

This situation could only mean he had encountered something good. It was likely in the process of merging.

Luckily, he had already taken out the necessary items for the task. If the Storage Ring couldn't be opened, how would he explain it when he returned?

He tidied up a bit and then drove away.

He didn't feel any special emotion anymore. It was quite incredible.

There was another task in the neighboring city. As he drove, he calculated that his wife and children were probably also on their way. He had completed this task relatively quickly. How about going to the next city to complete another task?

Tan Shaoting drove very fast. He arrived in the neighboring city by evening.

This time, the task was interrogation. He felt it really didn't suit him. But since he was already here, he might as well complete it together. It wouldn't be worth sending someone else over.

He located the person in charge there and showed them his credentials and letter of introduction.

Then, he obtained the basic details about this person. After looking it over.

"Let's interrogate him now."

"Sure, this person is very tight-lipped."

"It's okay. I'll try."

Tan Shaoting waited for about fifteen minutes. A middle-aged man with glasses was brought in.

He gestured for everyone to leave. The man hadn't looked up since he entered.

Tan Shaoting sat opposite him without speaking, seeing who had the stronger endurance.

They sat like this for an hour. Neither of them spoke a word.

But Tan Shaoting knew this man was about to lose his composure. He was moving too frequently.

After another half hour, the man finally looked up at Tan Shaoting.

"Why aren't you asking?" His voice was particularly hoarse and stuck, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

"Of course, I'm going to ask. I'm actually very curious. What exactly are you insisting on? This is the country that gave you life. Why would you abandon your roots?"

"Why? Why? Hahaha."

As he laughed, tears began to fall.

Tan Shaoting just sat quietly on the side, waiting for him to cry.

After about five minutes, the person finally calmed down.

"You're the only one who's asked me this question. I don't mind telling you.

I had a happy family. My wife was gentle, kind, and beautiful. The children were cute and smart.

When did it change? Yes, it was that beast. He came over, acting superior.

That beast violated my wife, and my two children went missing.

My wife couldn't bear the humiliation and killed herself.

What should I, as a man, do?"

Tan Shaoting shifted his position. "I would make him wish he were dead, and that still wouldn't be enough. I would return his actions multiplied."

"Hahahaha, yes, that's exactly what I should do. As a man, if I can't avenge my wife and children, what kind of man am I?"

"In fact, I've seen your file, and I think you didn't handle it well."

"What do you know? I'm just a teacher. What capabilities do I have?

That beast was also afraid of my revenge, so I was arrested.

In my despair, a man found me."

"So for revenge, you disregarded righteousness?"

"Yes, what righteousness is there? Beasts like that can still have power."

Tan Shaoting nodded. "That person has already received retribution. Why do you continue to betray your country?"

"Why? What a good 'why.' Of course, I hate it. I hate that if there weren't such people in power, how could my family have suffered like this?

I might still be living a happy life with my wife and children."

"I understand your wife's situation. She was a sensible person. Do you think she would want to see you like this?"

At this moment, the man suddenly burst into tears, a man crying. This was sadness and helplessness taken to the extreme.

Tan Shaoting still didn't intervene or offer comfort. He let him vent.

If it were him, he'd probably do something even more extreme.
