Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The furniture was finally arranged after a whole day, and it really felt like a home.

However, the family still returned home for the night since many daily necessities were still needed. Besides, Tan Shaoting couldn't take a day off tomorrow.

"Will you four come back tomorrow?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, we'll return. We'll wait until they start school to live here. Tomorrow, I'll bring all the luggage over and get the daily necessities ready. There's no rush, so we'll fill it gradually.

But the furniture is really nice. Once the house on the west side is done, we'll have all the furniture ready there too."

Of course, Tan Shaoting had no objections. As long as his wife was happy.

"Yuanyuan, here's a car for you. It was confiscated and hasn't been turned over to the government."

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? I confiscated it."

"This could be your Achilles' heel in the future."

"Mom, Dad doesn't have an Achilles' heel," Qi Hong said seriously.

The couple laughed, "Qi Hong, an Achilles' heel is just a way of saying it, implying a mistake. When others find out, they may use this mistake against you in the future. That's what we mean by an Achilles' heel."

Even though Su Yuanyuan explained it to the children, they only somewhat understood, not entirely clear.

"What are you afraid of? No one has ever asked me about it.

Even if someone did ask, would I be afraid of them?"

"Okay, with this, things will be more convenient for us."

Su Yuanyuan was naturally happy with her husband's indulgence.

So, after they returned home in the evening, Tan Shaoting went to return the car and drove back with another one.

Li Changmao thought about persuading him but knew Tan Shaoting's nature, and his persuasion wouldn't work.

Now he fully understood that the boss does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. It seems like he's doing it on purpose.

He gradually realized that the boss was genuinely grooming him, almost as if he were a successor.

This thought startled him. He also thought of Daqing, Da Biao, and Hu Zi. This confirmed it even more.

The boss was grooming a successor. It's paving a way for his own retreat.

Early the next morning, Su Yuanyuan filled the back with bedding, all new, prepared for their family of five, along with some bed linens.

She drove home, and the three children helped her. Although sometimes they were more of a hindrance than a help, Su Yuanyuan was still happy. Now, it was just making the beds.

They planned to stay the whole day, so the kang (heated bed) was lit for the smoke to pass through. However, since it's the rainy season and the kang was newly built, it's better to light it frequently.

She gradually filled the kitchen with essentials. Anyway, there was no problem moving in now.

The four of them had lunch at home. They initially planned to eat zhajiangmian. But Qi Yan didn't want to go. Among the three children, he was the picky eater.

No matter how delicious something was, he wouldn't eat it for more than three consecutive days.

So, they stayed home and had watery rice, cucumber fried with eggs, and braised beef.

"Mom, are we going shopping?"

In the morning, they saw Mom noting down many things they needed.

"Yes, we'll push your cart so you can sit when you're tired. We can put the things we buy on it too."

Going out to play was naturally exciting, so they were willing even if it meant sitting in a stroller.

After they were full, the four took a nap. Su Yuanyuan took this opportunity to put away some more things.

In the afternoon, it became overcast; it seemed impossible to go to the building today. The four of them inspected all the windows and doors at home before driving back to the garrison.

Now, it was one cloud, one rain. Once they left the urban area, it was all sunny.

But having reached there, they wouldn't go back. So, they directly went home. The three children were a bit disappointed.

When the four of them reached the gate, they had to undergo inspection, a rule set by Tan Shaoting, even he had to be inspected when he returned.

At that moment, a car happened to be leaving.

Su Yuanyuan casually glanced over and saw Cao Jinling, was that their family?

The girl's eyes were now lifeless.

Indeed, this was a blow. Such an event befalling a girl was undoubtedly hard to accept.

Leaving the garrison also required inspection. This time, it was Daqing in charge.

He jumped out of the car, saw Su Yuanyuan and her kids, and hurried over to greet them.

He knew the place Su Yuanyuan held in the boss's heart, even when the boss was still carrying a disciplinary action, he truly avenged her, and they all regarded the boss as a role model. A man should treat his woman and children this way.

"Are you going out?"

"The investigation is clear now, so they no longer need to stay here."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

In the car, Cao Jinling heard Su Yuanyuan's voice and felt a surge of intense hatred.

It was all because of her; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken such a risk. But she couldn't figure out how this issue related to that woman?

She hated her nonetheless. She didn't hate Tan Shaoting; rather, her hatred for Su Yuanyuan ran deep.

Now the whole family was ruined. The four of them were being exiled to the hardest place. Everything was lost, and her father's fate was uncertain.

Even if asked, nothing might be revealed, but she had prepared for the worst. Probably, her father surviving would already be the best outcome.

Thus, she hated, why didn't Su Yuanyuan voluntarily step aside? If she were with Tan Shaoting, such things wouldn't have happened to the family, and she could have become the official's wife she had always dreamt of since childhood.

Now, she had nothing. She didn't know what awaited her family. How could this not fuel hatred?

But looking at others driving in style, everyone greeting her, and what about herself? Now, she was nothing but a prisoner.

The rest of the Cao Family were already numb. The three of them sat together, their eyes vacant.

Cao Jinling became increasingly resentful the more she thought. She suddenly stood up, wanting to jump off the car, but there were two guards watching them, preventing any successful attempt.

"Let me go, let me go."

Even with such an outcome, just before, once being watched, they wouldn't allow any moves from her.

Su Yuanyuan had completed the inspection. She nodded at Daqing, then drove away.

In the car, Cao Jinling watched as the car drove off, gave up struggling, slumped down, and sobbed. She didn't want to face such an outcome, but she had no choice.

The inspection here was swift as well, the paperwork was thorough.

Daqing noticed Cao Jinling's actions. To him, she was just a clown, not worth much attention, his task was only to deliver her to the city, the rest wasn't his concern.
