Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Cao Jinling felt unfulfilled love. Because of love, she harbored hatred. She wanted Tan Shaoting to regret and realize that she was the right choice.

So she held her stomach and stood up. It was night, and there was no one around. Therefore, no one saw her twisted expression.

Su Yuanyuan watched her. Seeing her like this made her smile. Yesterday, Tan Shaoting came back and said that the Cao Family was about to collapse.

She hoped that this girl could add fuel to the fire for the Cao Family.

After returning home, she entered her space, where it felt like all her pores opened up. It was so comfortable. She only came out after taking a bath.

She was afraid that Tan Shaoting and his three would suddenly come back.

She lay on the heated brick bed, thinking about Tan Shaoting, a smile appearing on her face involuntarily.

This man really is something, completely oblivious to taboos. Even if the other person is a girl, and not an enemy now, it was really inappropriate to act this way.

Although she thought this way in her heart, her face was full of smiles, a wife's fondness for her husband.

No matter how strong or capable a woman is, she hopes her husband can stand in front of her.

Tan Shaoting returned to the training field and saw the kids still playing happily. He didn't urge them to leave. To be honest, he thought the kids were quite bored during the past month out. So he just let them play freely.

About twenty minutes later, he saw the three running towards him.

"Going back?"

"Dad, let's go back. We'll come to play again tomorrow."

"Sure, we'll come again tomorrow. Go and say goodbye to uncle, aunt, and your friends."

Zhuang Jianmin smiled and greeted Tan Shaoting, and the two families parted ways.

The three children ran ahead of Tan Shaoting, laughing. Seeing the carefree children, Tan Shaoting felt it was all worth it.

Just for their laughter. These are his three children, born by his wife and sharing their bloodline.

After returning home, the three kids were all sweaty, so Tan Shaoting good-naturedly gave them a bath. The whole family lay on the heated brick bed.

Once the children were asleep, Tan Shaoting embraced his wife and went to the next room.

He had never thought he was such a hedonistic person.

"You should be careful with that Cao Jinling."

"Da Biao is responsible; he's almost done with the investigation."

Tan Shaoting did it three times, then the couple went into the space to bathe. Here, there was no spring water; it was all brought in usually.

"By the way, your treasures said they wanted a showerhead."

"Did you bring it back? Let them study it; it's not difficult."

"Hmm, by the way, I still have a notebook here."

Su Yuanyuan mentioned the simple incident with Shen Zhigang.

"I gave him one good sarcastic retort, and I think he was utterly embarrassed."

"Hmm. It's a personal decision. I'll go with you all tomorrow to check out the house and hand this thing over to the leadership."

"Sure, once we buy the house, we'll also settle on the school."

"Okay. I'll come back every day after that."

"Hmm, okay."

The next day, Tan Shaoting cooked porridge, and Su Yuanyuan made egg pancakes.

After the five of them finished eating, Tan Shaoting went to a meeting while the four of them waited at home.

"Mom, are we going to school?"

"Yes, do you want to go? There will be many kids."

"A lot?"

"I think so, you'll see when you go."

"Mom, then we won't be living here anymore?" Qi Yan asked.

"Hmm, yes, we'll be moving to the city. Your dad will come home every day, and we'll also come back on weekends."

"Then we won't be with Yuan Xi anymore."

"Yes, as you grow up, you will separate from Mom and Dad too."

"I won't leave Mom," Qi Wen declared.

"I won't leave Mom either."

"Me too."

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Alright, none of you will leave Mom. Even if one day you do, you must find a way to come back to Mom."

"Alright, we'll find Mom even if we leave."

At the office, Tan Shaoting called in Wang Dabiao.

"Cao Mingjun might take action."

"Boss, this morning Cao Jinling asked for a long leave."

"Hmm, just keep an eye on it and act accordingly. If necessary, make a move."

"Understood." They were fully aware of Tan Shaoting's working style.

This is also why they liked following Tan Shaoting.

The leader had no hesitations; everything was about completing the task. Everything else was nonsense, which ensured that they wouldn't hold back while out in the field.

He arranged things during the meeting and told Li Changmao to go out for a bit.

The family of five directly went to the city, and Tan Shaoting went straight to the address given by Zeng Zhenqing.

There was an elderly person living there now.

"See for yourselves. I'm just the caretaker; they're not here."

The family of five looked at the three-part residence, and Su Yuanyuan really liked it.

The previous owner must have been someone who appreciated life. It had a bit of a garden-like feel. Although no one was taking care of it now, it still looked particularly refreshing.

"This is it. This house is really nice, and the maintenance is great too."

"Hmm, then let's keep it."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and asked the three kids, "What about you? Do you like it?"

The three kids nodded, "Yes, Mommy, will this be our home from now on?"

"Yes, this will be our home from now on."

The family of five spent an hour exploring the place before going to find the elderly man in the front.

"Sir, we want this house. What's the price?"

"The price is set by the owner."

"But the owner isn't here. How do we transfer ownership?"

It wasn't possible to pay for a house and have it still be in someone else's name.

"Don't worry, I can come along to transfer the ownership."

"Alright, let's transfer the ownership now. I'll pay half now, and after the transfer, I'll pay the rest."

"Alright, let's go."

The elderly man was straightforward. In fact, Su Yuanyuan doubted that he was just a caretaker. But since that's what he claimed, she went along with it.

At the housing office, everything went smoothly, and the house was put under Su Yuanyuan's name.

Su Yuanyuan thought the elderly man was truly bold, as he didn't take the half-payment at all.

After leaving the housing office, they drove back to the house.

Su Yuanyuan took out the money, "Sir, count it."

The elderly man didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to count the money.

"That's correct. I'll move out now."

"No rush."

The old man shook his head, "The house is yours now."

The elderly man's belongings were not much, and he left without a second thought.

"Go to work. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lock."

In Su Yuanyuan's mind, only when she changed the lock did it truly become her home.

"Alright, wait for me to come back, and we'll hire someone to clean up. In the afternoon, I'll go check out the school."
