Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 314: 314 Help

It seems the old saying is true: a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. Some things are really difficult to change in one’s nature.

Just a moment ago, Zheng Lanying still had resentment towards me. What resentment? She probably blamed me for not helping her.

It’s really interesting, such a self-centered person genuinely believes the whole world should revolve around her.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about those unpleasant things. We probably won’t have much interaction in the future.

Zheng Lanying watched as Su Yuanyuan drove away. She stared at her back with a complex expression?

People are really different, even if they’re the same. No, I’m not the same as her. I’m much better than this rural woman.

Maybe her life is good now. But when I become a college student in the future, when reforms happen, when I know what can make money, she’ll still be a rural woman.

This is the difference. Although life is hard for me now, the old gentleman said, ”When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first frustrates their spirit, tires their muscles, starves their body, and imposes hardships upon them.”

They look down on me now, but there will be a time they’ll regret it. Even if they want to flatter me in the future, I won’t give them the chance.

Zheng Lanying thought this way, feeling much more balanced inside. Only then did she turn and head to the farm office.

Feng Baoshan was harnessing the cart. It would take until the day after tomorrow at the earliest to return, and farm matters still needed to be arranged.

Seeing Zheng Lanying come in, Feng Baoshan immediately understood her intent.

”Director Feng, I’m still here to borrow grain.” Saying this made Zheng Lanying feel very embarrassed, but without doing so, it wouldn’t work. There was no more grain at home.

With such hard work, how are you supposed to manage without eating well? Although a few men from the farm helped plant all the land, there’s still a lot of work daily.

”Okay, how much does Comrade Zheng want to borrow?”

”Director Feng, I want to borrow corn, two hundred pounds.”

”Two hundred pounds. Alright.” It’s not much, so it’s manageable. Besides, he knew that a few young guys from the farm went to help her with her work and even checked her land. There should still be a harvest in the autumn. There’s no worry she won’t repay, as any debt will be deducted first anyway.

Feng Baoshan didn’t make it difficult for her. There was no need to trouble a young girl.

Moreover, he could see that Zheng Lanying was definitely different. Being kind to others is being kind to oneself. There’s no need to make it difficult.

Zheng Lanying didn’t expect it to be so easy, so she felt quite grateful to Feng Baoshan in her heart.

”Comrade Zheng, I’m going to the city, I’ll deliver these two hundred pounds of corn to you.”

What did this mean? She walked over to borrow grain?

”Thank you, Director Feng.” That was somewhat her intention. Although she didn’t expect Director Feng to deliver it himself, as long as someone from the farm delivered it, it would seem like she received special attention from the farm in the eyes of others.

There’s really no choice. As a single girl, it’s really not easy.

The men helping her with work are now roaming back every day, and she’s truly a bit scared.

Absolutely no contact should be made with them. She will definitely not marry here. Her life would be over if she did.

After Su Yuanyuan got home, she rested for a while, then went into the cotton field. With her superpower and manual labor, she started peeling off all the plastic film. After a rain, she could fertilize the cotton.

Such simple work is still manageable.

The corn fertilization needed help from the Zhao sisters and the Li Family, she still required their assistance.

Just thinking about it made her feel a bit embarrassed.

She wasn’t in a hurry, just took her time. The weeds under the plastic film were all yellow because they’d been covered. She didn’t want to bend over all the time, so she simply used her superpower to remove the weeds.

Three days passed like that, and all ten acres of cotton were taken care of.

She felt very exhausted as well, but there was nowhere she felt uncomfortable.

That day, she was checking the corn in the field. The cornfield needed insecticide spraying this year. Otherwise, it was likely to reduce the yield.

She heard someone calling for her. It was Feng Baoshan coming over. She replied and slowly came out.

”Director Feng.”

”Xiao Su, I already made the call, Mr. Zhang answered. He said Xiao Tan is not there, but will relay the message when he’s back.

Also, here are your two letters, I brought them back for you.”

Su Yuanyuan took them with a smile, ”Thank you, Director Feng. As long as Tan Shaoting knows, I can rest assured.

By the way, Director Feng, take a look at the corn pests appearing here. I think it still needs spraying.”

Feng Baoshan was startled, he quickly went into the cornfield.

He came out after a while. ”Xiao Su, I checked before leaving, there was no such situation around the farm. But here, you definitely need to spray.”

”Yes, without spraying, it will definitely reduce the yield. Director Feng, if the situation at the farm isn’t serious, could you help me find two people to help with the spraying? I’ll pay two yuan per person per day.”

Feng Baoshan understood and nodded, ”I got it, I’ll find someone when I get back. Actually, it’s possible to find people from there to spray.”

After all, it’s two yuan a day. His wife once muttered, which woman doesn’t work even when pregnant?

But if someone is willing to spend money, that’s their own business.

Knowing the corn also had pests, Feng Baoshan hurried away. This wasn’t a small matter.

Su Yuanyuan waited at home. Feng Baoshan absolutely wouldn’t have a problem handling the task. Since she asked him to find someone and he agreed, he would definitely help.

So she waited at home with peace of mind.

She didn’t have lunch and went to the Li Family to inform Li Hongxiang about spraying the corn. Then she went to the Zhao Family.

”Yuanyuan, don’t worry, I’ll spray for you.” Zhao Yanli worried that Su Yuanyuan was anxious. This girl had always been like this since she was young, everything faster than others.

”I’m not in a hurry. Just now, Director Feng came and told me he made a call to Tan Shaoting.

I asked him to help find two people to help with the spraying, so you don’t need to be too anxious either.”

Feeling warm inside, in her past life, she was all alone. In this life, having someone treat her well like this, it’s truly her own reward.

Zhao Yanping was cooking, ”Yuanyuan, are you eating at home?”

”Big sis, don’t cook for me, I’ll eat at home, I’m so lazy now, after I eat I just want to lie down.”

”That’s normal, just be careful.”

Little Haiyan wanted to go with her but was stopped by Zhao Yanping. The little kid looked pitifully at Su Yuanyuan, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Only after going home did she enter the space to shower and eat.

After eating, she certainly took a nap. Days like this she had never really experienced.

After waking up, she interacted with the kids—yes, the kids. She had three little ones in her belly.

This was also because she felt her belly was unreasonably big, prompting her to check.

This is also why she’s particularly cautious now. With three kids, the danger is bigger.
