Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Alright, I got it."

After lunch, Tan Shaoting was responsible for cleaning up, while Su Yuanyuan and the three children stood upright.

Zeng Zhenqing found it quite intriguing.

Tan Shaoting knew Zeng Zhenqing wanted to have a talk with his wife, so he took the kids for a nap.

"Xiao Su, were you scared before?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I was scared. It doesn't matter about me, but there are still three such young children. The second time was even worse. I can't accept putting people around us at risk because of us."

Zeng Zhenqing sighed, people are different, some people will go to any lengths.

"Xiao Su, have you thought about it? Xiao Tan has been doing this for so many years, even if he withdraws, would those organizations he's dealt with just let it go?"

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "But we can't sink deeper and deeper.

Besides, the leader is right, Tan Shaoting has been doing this for so long, even if every time he comes back he says it's fine, he's still a person, a person with flesh and blood. How can he not be tired or in pain?

Don't assume nothing's happening just because he doesn't say anything.

Leader, we know we should prioritize the greater good. We have been doing so, whether it's our donations or Tan Shaoting's involvement, it all shows that we have a patriotic and family-loving heart.

But we are also mortals, we have things we can't accomplish. Every time he goes out, the four of us at home worry about him and miss him.

I don't seek riches or honors, nor to be above others. Just peace and happiness are enough.

I used to think that without a nation, there is no home. Only when the country is strong and good can we live the life I want.

But now I've given in, I just want my husband to be safe with us."

Su Yuanyuan's words made Zeng Zhenqing feel quite apologetic.

Yes, just because you don't say it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you're not tired.

You can't take it for granted that he can do it, that he's alright.

"Xiao Su, I understand. I'll report this to the leader when I get back."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding. We still stand by our word, we're not being arrogant. If there are really difficult things in the future, we're always ready to be at your service.

Just don't let him be the scapegoat with such a title out front."

"Well, it's just that you don't care, that's what others dream of."

"Leader, that's because personal pursuits are different.

Leader, you should lie down and rest for a bit."

"Thank you, Xiao Su. I won't stay, I've got a lot of work."

After seeing off Zeng Zhenqing, Tan Shaoting rested at home for a while before going to work.

Now he's in the process of handing over his work with Li Changmao.

Zeng Zhenqing went back to the unit, thought for a while, and then went to find the leader.

He relayed the couple's words without missing a single detail.

"It's not possible yet, tell Xiao Tan to solve his own matters first."

At that time, they will also settle some issues together.

"Hmm, I understand."

The leader's tolerance has its limits. Seems like action is to be taken.

Xiao Tan is so clever, he surely knows what to do.

Tan Shaoting received a call from Zeng Zhenqing, and there was nothing unclear anymore.

He didn't mind. Even if the leader hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have acknowledged it either, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to directly provoke the two garrisons.

At night, the couple lay together discussing the day's matters.

"Alright, just this last time."

Most of Tan Shaoting's energy was focused on investigating this matter.

Honestly, it was indeed the other side probing.

But Tan Shaoting couldn't accept such probing.

Da Biao returned from his mission, and Tan Shaoting specifically sought him out to instruct him on some matters.

"Yes, Leader, I understand."

And about Hu Zi, he drove to the police station where he last dropped off the female comrade, and upon inquiring, found out there was no such person, was he fooled?

However, he thought he still had to inquire, after all, the leader was still waiting.

So he showed his identification, and everyone at the police station was mobilized to cooperate with Hu Zi's work.

Finding someone can be quite difficult, but sometimes it can also be quite simple. Half a month had passed, the time wasn't too long, so they still got some useful information.

After reporting to Tan Shaoting, Hu Zi continued the pursuit.

Tan Shaoting had already gathered a lot of evidence, but still felt it wasn't enough.

It was a rare moment of peace; everything proceeded step by step.

Su Yuanyuan took the three children to the city, because with the idea of leaving, things here also needed planning.

Actually, from the day she bought the house, Su Yuanyuan thought that it might not really be suitable for living.

But it was an investment, after all, it was quite good now, all in her own name. With her several donations and Tan Shaoting's connections, even if they didn't return for decades, no one would probably touch it.

Having not been here for over a month, she saw that the other two floors of the house had also been tidied up.

"Master, I probably won't be coming to live here. Is there a way to better preserve the house?"

"Comrade, actually, it's better to have someone living in the house, even if it's just a few days a month or a year."

Su Yuanyuan just laughed; she really couldn't say. Having the thought of leaving here, it might be realized, external influences were not to be considered.

The mason glanced at Su Yuanyuan's expression and understood. "Well, I can make a cap for the chimney on the roof, but keep the doors and windows unsealed, ventilation is better."

Su Yuanyuan waited until they finished, and settled all the payments.

She suddenly remembered some simple Five Elements Formations she had learned, but those could only be set up with Spirit Stones, which she didn't have.

However, she had high-quality jade, so she thought to give it a try.

It really worked, according to the formation, she buried jade stones at the five corners of the house, and it felt different.

She was excited about this. With the kids, she set up a Mist Formation.

Let the kids try it, and it really worked. The kids couldn't find the right direction, but since they were still young, she decided to wait for Tan Shaoting to come back before going further.

Since it seemed feasible, she did the same with the other two houses.

Su Yuanyuan stood outside looking at the house, grinning like a fool. Now she understood the benefit of having more skills.

The mother and her three children settled the matters with the house. Su Yuanyuan went to the police station and the housing authority to inquire.

As there weren't any regulations related to this, she didn't get any useful information.

"Shall we go to the bookstore and buy you some books?"

"Mom, you promised to buy a dictionary."

"No problem, Mom will teach you how to use the dictionary."

The mother and her three children spent over two hours in the bookstore. The kids selected some books themselves, looking quite proper. Su Yuanyuan also picked a few books, just to pass the time.
