Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 436: 436 Happiness

Yanli was in an exceptionally good mood, feeling really fed up with women like this.

Her actions seem to say that the mistakes in the past were made by her daughter. Now she wants to reconcile and play the good person.

What were you doing back then? Besides, that was before I got married, and I absolutely wouldn’t get angry over that. It’s really not worth it. Anyway, I won’t let them laugh at me.

How does Zhou Yongbing treat me? How do my in-laws treat me, and how do the three sisters-in-law treat me? All of it is in my mind.

When the Zhou Family couple returned, learning that Wu Fangyun had actually come over, even the two honest folks were so mad they started cursing.

”Mom and Dad, don’t be mad. I won’t suffer a loss.”

”I really can’t be at ease with just you at home.” Mrs. Zhou sighed. Her son’s job often requires him to go out. She could retire at the end of the year, but it’s not possible now.

”Don’t worry, no one can bully me.”

After Wu Fangyun got home, she was so angry she lay down on the kang. That bumpkin actually mocked me?

The more she thought about it, the more she cried. It’s because her daughter is disappointing. Otherwise, how could she be the subject of gossip all the time?

When her husband and child came back, she hadn’t even cooked.

Liang Lanqing was already being shunned at the factory. Returning home without a meal made her even more sullen.

Her face was long to begin with, and it only looked worse like this. But she didn’t think so herself.

Old Liang was an honest and straightforward man. Seeing his wife’s listless demeanor, he began to cook.

The eldest son came home from school and helped his father with the cooking.

Only Liang Lanqing lay in the room sulking. She wasn’t really foolish; she knew her reputation was bad now. She was anxious, but what could she do?

Now she always felt that people around her were laughing at her.

Especially knowing that Chen Xiaoguang already had a partner, the female technician they met last time.

They said it was nothing. They must have been together for a while; they’re just fooling me. I really can’t swallow this, but now she couldn’t even see Chen Xiaoguang.

Liang Lanqing felt that Chen Xiaoguang was avoiding her.

Wu Fangyun forced herself to get up, seeing her husband and son cooking.

The younger son wasn’t back yet; he must be running wild outside again. Really a handful.

The family of five sat in silence during lunch.

Wu Fangyun suddenly put down her chopsticks. She really couldn’t eat any more. Having been bullied outside, now she had to see her daughter sulking; who was she dissatisfied with?

”Liang Lanqing, in two years when your brother graduates, you must give your job to him. This is something we agreed upon before.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Lanqing felt even more upset.

”Why? I’m also your child, just because I’m a girl. But I have your blood; how can you do this to me?”

”You don’t have to disagree now. You already agreed before you took the job.”

”Now I disagree. They are all your children; why do you treat me like this?”

”Just because you’re not a son.”

Liang Lanqing was angry and cried as she ran back to her room. Now she hardly went out; it was too uncomfortable to face the colored glances from people.

The dining table became even more silent, and after the meal, it was still Old Liang and the eldest son cleaning up.

Liang Lanqing lay in her room crying. This definitely wouldn’t work. She would never give her job to her brother. Moreover, she had to hurry up and get married. Once married, they couldn’t control her anymore.

Thinking of this, candidates of men she could marry popped into her mind.

In the end, after sorting for a long time, none were suitable.

What should she do? Getting married was the best solution now. It could both detach her from the family and solve the current predicament.

Eventually, she thought of Zhou Yongbing. After much consideration, he was the only one with everything good.

People are like this; only after losing do they know to cherish. Only then do they see the good.

But Zhou Yongbing was so indifferent to her, what could be done?

He was truly captivated by that woman. No, this can’t happen. She must find a way.

She tossed and turned on the bed, thinking back and forth.

Yet no method seemed to work. Now Liang Lanqing was truly worried.

The next day she went to work with no spirit.

”Oh dear, were you a thief last night? Crying early in the morning like that?”

”Haha, could it be she went to steal a man?”

”There wouldn’t be anyone with such poor taste. If Old Zhou wasn’t so honest before, where would she even have a chance?”

Liang Lanqing was full of anger; now they dared to openly talk about her like this? What would she do in the future?

But she really couldn’t rebut. Mainly because no one would sympathize with her. Everyone had an issue with her.

She hadn’t harmed them, so why treat her like this?

This was because entertainment was limited at the time, cultural levels were generally low, and Mr. Zhou’s social network was especially good.

Liang Lanqing was so angry she avoided them. But this only made her more determined to marry Zhou Yongbing.

He’s so dedicated to that woman only because she’s pregnant, isn’t he? What if she slept with Zhou Yongbing too and got pregnant as well? Wouldn’t that be different? She’s way better than that bumpkin, having a proper job and all.

With this idea, Liang Lanqing saw through the clouds to the light.

This plan was the best. It was decided.

She didn’t even think about whether Zhou Yongbing would be willing.

Yanli of course didn’t know someone was eyeing her husband. But even if she did, she trusted Zhou Yongbing. The Zhou family’s character was good; the family culture was good.

Zhou Yongbing sneezed several times while driving. He rarely took breaks now, waiting to save up his leave for when his wife gave birth.

His teammates were willing to switch with him, and they could help with such a small favor.

Yanli, after waking up in the afternoon, locked the door and went to her elder sister’s house. The two sisters lived nearby, and it was really very nice.

”Hey, Jianhua is so well-behaved?” This child was indeed very likable. He played by himself and was hardly bothersome.

”Xiao Li, come up on the bed and rest a bit. I’ll get you a cucumber to eat.”

”Sister, I don’t want to eat.”

”You weren’t picky before you got pregnant. How come after so many months, you’re refusing to eat this and that?”

”I’m fine, don’t worry about me.

Sister, do you think Yuanyuan received the letter I sent her?”

”Who knows? You’ll just have to wait for a reply. By the way, will you go back to work after you have the baby?”

”Yes, my mother-in-law will retire at the end of the year, and I’ve almost sorted everything out.”

”That’s workable. Your mother-in-law will take care of the child, just that you’ll have to commute to nurse.” Zhou Yanping thought that was quite fine.
