Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Su Yuanyuan certainly couldn't match Tan Shaoting's stamina, and besides, she had never run like this before, so after a long time, she started to struggle. But seeing the kids running so easily, she had no choice but to keep going.

The days for the four of them were so routine, yet all four of them missed Tan Shaoting. After all, having lived together for so long, they naturally missed him after separating.

Zhao Qingxiang and his brothers took their parents to the county. This time, they went by carriage, but Sun Yun and her sisters-in-law didn't go with them.

When they got to the county, they found the officials responsible for the farm transfers.

They still needed people there, and because the news coming back wasn't good, very few people were signing up to go.

Unexpectedly, two people signed up this time.

So the procedures were handled very efficiently, and this time they were given the money directly and told to buy their own train tickets.

All the procedures were completed, and the four of them came out.

"Dad, we'll have to rely on the team leader to help sell our house."

Zhao Tian was reluctant now. But to live with the kids, he didn't express any regret.

"Sure, tell your Uncle when you go back."

"Let's go buy the train tickets then."

Zhao Qingxiang bought train tickets for three days later. This time, he got three sleeper tickets and three hard seats.

On the way home, the parents were a bit silent, which the brothers understood. But they also didn't want to come back, so the old couple had to go with them.

When they got back to the village, Zhao Tian took the two older ones out.

Having lived here all his life, now that they were leaving, of course, he wanted to look around. Who knew if they'd ever have the chance to come back?

Han Lixia took her two daughters-in-law to pack up the household belongings, realizing the value in what was once thought worthless. Before, they felt poor with nothing, but when packing up to leave, they found they had quite a lot.

"Mom, we can't take too much stuff."

"But all these things are useful," Han Lixia was also in a dilemma.

"Mom, we'll just buy new ones when we get there. It's hard to carry things around on a crowded train."

They started sorting through their stuff, and it was still too much. They had to take the grains, couldn't leave the food behind. They also needed to bring clothes and a few pieces of luggage. Though shabby, Han Lixia kept everything very clean. It would be a pity to discard them.

Sun Yun and Qi Xuemei didn't say much more. If it got tiring, so be it; better not to upset the elderly. The two of them also realized that the old folks were reluctant to leave, and they were already doing this for them, so they decided to accommodate the others in everything else.

Zhao Tian took the two kids to Yang Hongwen's house.

"How's it going? Everything settled?"

"Yes, it went very smoothly. Big brother, I'll leave the sale of our house in your hands."

"Sure, leaving it unused is pointless. We'll build new when given the chance to return."

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking. After all, a vacant house easily deteriorates."

"Alright, I'll arrange it for you. Are these kids from Qingxiang and Qing Jie's families?"

"Yes, I didn't bring the two younger ones out. These two are older, so they should see their old home and remember it. Call Grandpa, you two."

Xiao Ling and the other child greeted courteously.

Xu Chunjiao came in and gave the kids lots of roasted peanuts. The two kids thanked her and called her Grandma too.

"Zhao Tian, don't think too much. I believe there will be an opportunity for you to come back."

"Actually, I've thought it through. Wherever the kids are, we'll be; it's all the same. I'm just reluctant."

"That's normal, go out and take a walk."

Leaving Yang Hongwen's house, Zhao Tian held the hands of the two kids and strolled slowly, unintentionally arriving at his older brother's house's gate, where the door stood ajar and the courtyard was cluttered.

Inside were sounds of shouting and cursing; thinking better of it, he decided against contacting them. The two families had severed ties, so there was no need to greet them.

After breakfast that day, Yang Hongwen drove over. Seeing the pile of things in the yard, he helped carry everything onto the car.

In the end, only four children sat in the car; the rest followed behind on foot.

Since their train was leaving at around three in the afternoon, they weren't in a rush.

Yang Hongwen took them to the train station, declined their offer for a meal, and hurried back home.

He felt somewhat relieved. Being from the same village, how could he not know Zhao Tian's character? He's somewhat pliable, but not a bad person.

His children had been away for many years, and people generally sympathized with Zhao Tian.

Now, fortunately, the kids still remembered to come back for the old couple.

It showed that the children were still so honest, at least they hadn't forgotten their roots.

Having Zhao Tian and his wife over there would be good. From what Qingxiang said, the farm there was decent. Although difficult, it was a place where you could really earn money.

The couple was capable; this was much better for them than staying home.

The Zhao family members bid farewell to Yang Hongwen and began moving things inside. There was so much stuff.

They finally decided that Han Lixia would sit in the hall watching over the four children. Given the crowdedness of the train station, they were worried about the kids being abducted.

Sun Yun and Qi Xuemei reminded her, "Mom, you don't need to do anything except watch the four kids. We heard stories on the road about child snatchers."

Han Lixia nodded, "I know, I have the four kids tied to me."

The sisters-in-law quickly moved items indoors, but they came back to remind the two older kids as well.

Zhao Qingxiang bought a platform ticket, so they could move everything straight to the platform, avoiding trouble when boarding.

When everything was ready, Zhao Tian stayed behind to guard the luggage; the rest went to the waiting hall to grab something to eat.

They waited for more than three hours before boarding, and once settled on the train, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

It really felt like a battle; they were exhausted.

Tan Shaoting returned after a week, and he was in a foul mood, having lost two brothers, something he couldn't accept.

But now reality was in front of him; the two were young men, not even married yet.

So this time, he directly uprooted the enemy's base.

Moreover, none of the captured were unharmed. Tan Shaoting knew he had a problem now, somewhat in his mindset. Upon returning, he let his most ruthless subordinate handle the interrogation, while he applied for compensation for the two young men's families.

He offered them the highest amount, but still, his heart felt heavy. Finally, he decided to privately give each family five hundred yuan. No amount of money could replace the two vibrant lives.
