Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"Xiao Li, I can stay home for three days. Then I have to go out to drive again."

"Are you tired? Really, for the delivery, I have my elder sister and my parents, you don't need to push yourself so hard."

"How can it work if I don't push? I want to be the first to see our child."

"Hahaha, even if you're home, you won't be the first to see them, definitely the doctor will see them first."

"Doctors and nurses don't count."

The young couple chatted away, feeling that this atmosphere was particularly warm and cozy.

Early the next day, Zhou Yongbing went to the supply and marketing cooperative to line up, wanting to buy some eggs and meat for his wife.

Her belly has grown large, but she hasn't gained any weight elsewhere.

Everyone lived nearby, and almost everyone knew each other.

"Xiao Bing, back home?"

"Aunt, you're up this early too?" Zhou Yongbing greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, what do you want to buy?"

"Just looking to see if there are eggs or meat or anything like that. To nourish my wife."

"That's good, you should treat your wife like this. Let me tell you, women really have a hard time when they're pregnant, you have to take good care of her."

A bunch of neighborhood women joined the conversation at this point. They could buy tofu at the Zhou family every three to five days, so of course, they had good feelings toward the Zhou family.

The tofu from the Zhou family is delicious. They always give a little extra, so naturally, Zhao Yanli gets high praise.

The supply and marketing cooperative finally opened. They had eggs and meat, and now Zhou Yongbing was happy. He happily carried the basket home.

This noon, he would make dumplings for his wife. Add more meat for her. That way, it would be more satisfying to eat.

Zhao Yanli got up late today because they talked for too long last night.

The Old Zhou couple had already gone to work. There were steamed buns and stewed beans on the table.

Because the daughter-in-law was pregnant, the old couple made dry food every morning. This way, if they weren't at home and the daughter-in-law got hungry, she'd have something to eat.

When Zhao Yanli got up, she found that the main door of the house was locked from the outside. She knew Zhou Yongbing had gone out.

She saw that the house was neatly tidied up, so she just washed up, thinking she'd wait for Zhou Yongbing to come back to eat together.

She waited for a long while, and when she really couldn't wait any longer due to hunger, just as she was about to eat, she heard the door open.

Coming out from the main room, she saw Zhou Yongbing coming in with a basket.

"Wife, I'm going to make dumplings for you at noon. I bought meat."

Zhao Yanli nodded with a smile. This was nice, a satisfaction from the heart.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I was waiting for you to eat together."

"No, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to line up early. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to buy anything."

Zhao Yanli ate a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, finally feeling comfortable.

"Xiao Li, do you want to go out for a walk? I'll accompany you?"

"No need. I don't even know where to go." Everything at home was prepared, and she almost didn't need to do anything. Everything was specially prepared for her.

"By the way, make more dumplings at noon and take some to Mom and Dad."

"No need, we can just make dumplings again at night."

The couple was affectionate at home. The noon dumplings were made separately for Zhao Yanli, and they were almost all meat.

She also felt for her husband. So in the end, they shared the food.

After work, Liang Lanqing followed Mr. Zhou. Seeing they didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative, she thought that Zhou Yongbing must be back. Following from afar, she indeed found that it was Zhou Yongbing who opened the door. Great, tomorrow will be the chance, she would take leave tomorrow.

She was really fed up with staying at home. Now, nobody in the family was willing to talk to her and she felt too suppressed. If she could quickly get together with Zhou Yongbing, she could marry into the Zhou family, and then she would be free of them.

Want to take her job? That was just dreaming. Since she had the job now, it would always be hers.

After coming back from the Zhou family, Liang Lanqing, after dinner, began thinking about what method to use the next day.

Directly speaking to Zhou Yongbing was not possible. Only after they had a relationship could something be done. But where could that happen?

She thought for a long time without any idea. Suddenly she sat up and got off the kang to her parents' room.

"Mom, are you going to visit my uncle tomorrow?"

"No."

"Then you should go. You haven't been there for so long. I'm taking a day off tomorrow, I can tidy up the house, you should go out and rest for a day."

Liang Lanqing knew how to make her mom interested.

And indeed, Wu Fangyun began to consider it.

"That's true, I haven't seen your uncle for a long time. I'll go see him tomorrow. You take care of things at home and we'll steam the vegetable buns tonight."

"Got it, you'll head out early tomorrow. Spend the day with my uncle. I'll make sure you have vegetable buns for dinner."

Wu Fangyun nodded, deciding to visit her family the next day.

Liang Lanqing returned to her room smiling, lay on the kang, thinking she had the place, but how to get Zhou Yongbing to come over?

Zhou Yongbing was very conservative; even before marriage, hand-holding was rare. Chen Xiaoguang may be a bit arrogant, but he wasn't the kind to take advantage of girls. So Liang Lanqing really didn't know, it was all in her imagination.

The next morning, she hurried off to the office. After asking for leave, she went directly to the Zhou family home.

This morning, Zhou Yongbing went to buy more meat and eggs. No matter how many of these things there were, it was never too much.

Luckily, he managed to buy two pounds of eggs and one pound of meat today.

Today his wife could again have an improved meal.

Actually, Zhao Yanli always had eggs and meat every day. Mr. Zhou would get up early to line up and buy them, so she never really lacked for anything.

Returning from the supply and marketing cooperative, before even entering the alley, he saw Liang Lanqing.

Seeing her now, he felt nothing, she was just someone he knew, nothing more.

"Zhou Yongbing, after being in a relationship with me for so many years, you don't even talk when you see me?"

Remembering his wife's words, Zhou Yongbing was even more determined not to speak to her.

He planned to walk past her from the side.

But Liang Lanqing had specially taken leave to come over today, how could she possibly let him go?

So, a scene of a woman chasing a man unfolded on the street.

This time, Zhou Yongbing was really helpless. Why did Liang Lanqing seem so intent on clinging to him?

"Oh my, what's going on here? A woman harassing a man?"

By now, a few people had already gathered around; they were all neighbors from the same street, and seeing Zhou Yongbing in such a predicament, they all came to help.

"Xiao Bing, you should head to the police station. I've been alive for this long, and it's the first time I've ever seen a woman forcing a man.

Xiao Bing, you can't let this woman succeed. Remember that you have a pregnant wife at home."

"Yeah, Xiao Bing, quickly head to the police station. We're a respectable family, we wouldn't be involved in such things."
