Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1176: Arrival

Zeng Zhenqing nodded. ”You can’t read minds. Just check if there’s no major problem, that’s all.”

There were still quite a few dishes for dinner, and all ten people were quite satisfied.

After dinner, the family went back, and the next noon, they went to the restaurant to wait for Feng Shanshan.

This young woman was still a bit afraid of Tan Shaoting, but she knew with Su Yuanyuan there, things should be fine.

”Congratulations on being admitted to the university here.”

”Thank you. I almost didn’t get to come; it was a recommended spot. My spot was almost someone else’s, luckily I asked ahead.”

”Haha, this means you are fated to be here, so you should come.”

”Yeah, Yuanyuan. The village chief has passed away.” Feng Shanshan said, a bit melancholic.

Su Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable hearing this news.

This is truly a reminder of the unpredictability of life; when seen in the summer, he seemed healthy, but now he’s just gone.

Feng Shanshan was especially sad because, with the old village chief’s kindness, she could stay peacefully in that small village. Although life there was tough, she felt at ease living there. It allowed her to live a steady life.

It was Qi Hong who went out to order the dishes, which were the specialties here.

”Feng Shanshan, when are you going to register?”

”After the school starts. Once the old village chief passed away, I came out. I really had nowhere to stay, so here I am. I have no place outside either. I feel lost, like a little pitiful one. I just have to wait a dozen days or so until I can start school.”

”Is staying in a hotel convenient? If not, you might as well rent a place.”

Feng Shanshan shook her head with a smile, ”Staying in a hotel is quite convenient, I’ll stay there.”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t say much either—their relationship wasn’t close enough to invite her to stay at her place.

After dinner, Su Yuanyuan said, ”If there’s anything you can’t resolve in the future, just give me a call.”

Feng Shanshan nodded with a smile. ”Thank you, Su Yuanyuan.”

On the farm, Zhao Yanli and the others arrived at the second shift of that night.

Coincidentally, Zhao Qingxiang was accompanying Zhao Tian to sleep today.

When he heard the noise outside, Zhao Qingxiang woke up.

Now his mom couldn’t even drink a sip of water, but she still had breath, and her body was still warm, indicating she wasn’t dead yet.

He put on his coat and went out to open the door.

At this moment, Zhao Qingjie was also awake.

The two sisters, Zhao Xiaojing, rushed inside. Zhao Tian had already woken up and was sitting by his wife’s side.

The two sisters rushed in. Zhao Tian saw his two daughters, his nose twitched, and his eyes turned red.

The two sisters called out loudly for their mom, but An Lixia lying on the bed didn’t make any movement.

Zhao Yanli touched her mom’s hand and felt warmth, indicating she wasn’t dead yet.

Zhao Qingjie and his wife came over. The room filled with sorrow.

The two sisters cried for quite a while before stopping.

”Big brother Qingjie, what’s going on?” Zhao Yanping asked.

Zhao Qingjie stammered out the situation at the time.

The two sisters didn’t say much; they didn’t blame Zhao Qingjie.

”Didn’t the doctor have any solution?”

Zhao Qingxiang nodded. ”There’s nothing they can do, just gave it a quick look and sent us back home.”

Qi Xuemei stood for a while and then went out to cook. Although it was the middle of the night, the sisters-in-law had just arrived and likely hadn’t eaten yet.

The two daughters, after learning the situation, sat by Zhao Tian’s side.

”Dad, why not try the provincial hospital?” Zhao Yanli asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian’s eyes lit up immediately.

”Alright, to the provincial hospital. No matter how much it costs, we’ll get your mom treated.”

The two brothers and sisters both nodded.

Qi Xuemei prepared fried pancakes and served it with sauerkraut soup.

The four didn’t hold back and ate. After eating, Zhao Qingxiang took the two brothers-in-law home to stay. There was no way, they had to stay at their own place now. The mother and the four children could share one room.

The two sisters stayed to accompany Zhao Tian and the unconscious An Lixia.

It was already past three o’clock now, and the two sisters lay down too.

Zhao Tian suddenly spoke, ”Xiao Ping, Xiao Li, I won’t stay with the Second anymore. You guys don’t know, when your mom fell ill, the couple backed away.

Your mom had an accident in her pants, and the second daughter-in-law ran out. It was your eldest sister-in-law who came over to clean it up.

Also, these days when it’s their turn, your eldest sister-in-law would wipe your mom’s body.

If I become like this in the future, the second couple won’t care for me either.”

Upon hearing her dad’s words, Zhao Yanli’s anger surged. Given that their mom was lying on the bed unconscious, talking about it now was already too late.

If they hadn’t behaved properly and lived well, things wouldn’t have ended up this way.

Mom was just because of her health, old age, that’s why she ended up like this.

Zhao Tian didn’t get a response from his two daughters and continued speaking.

”I will live with your eldest brother in future. If I stay with the Second, I’m done for.”

Zhao Yanli listened, feeling utterly upset and couldn’t bear it anymore.

”You keep changing your mind. Your sons might not care, but what would your daughters-in-law think?”

Zhao Tian said nothing after that.

Zhao Yanping patted her sister, now’s not the time for this kind of talk, no point talking about it now.

Zhao Yanli snorted. ”What kind of situation is this? You just flip stories as you wish. Had you done well and lived with my eldest brother properly, would mom be like this? Even at this age, mom still needed to work, and that’s all because of your decisions.”

Zhao Tian cried, ”I know it’s because of me.

Your mom said a few days before she got sick that she couldn’t work anymore.

At your eldest brother’s place, at most, she’d just cook. But here, all household chores were hers.”

The two sisters said nothing more, they blamed him, but mom couldn’t come back. Now that she’s in such a state, it’s most distressing.

Zhao Tian finally found an outlet for his words after all these days.

”It’s all my fault. Back then, your mom didn’t want to; actually, it’s your eldest sister-in-law’s fault, your mom only gave some food to the Second and Xiao Jing. They’re all family siblings, what’s the big deal?”

After hearing this, Zhao Yanli felt her anger shooting straight to her head.

”A family of siblings, what did they give to my elder sister-in-law?”

Zhao Tian didn’t speak this day; he was still blaming the eldest family.

The two sisters felt utterly helpless after hearing their muddle-headed dad. What kind of mentality was this?

Zhao Yanli really wanted to argue back, but she also knew the current situation with the old man. One is already like this, and the other one, well, let him be.

Zhao Qingxiang knocked and opened the door; he and the two brothers-in-law slept in the three girls’ room. The four of them slept together.

The three kids naturally felt close to Zhou Yongbing and Zhang Fusheng.

”Mom, do you think when my eldest aunt and younger aunt came, grandma would wake up?”

Sun Yun sighed, ”I don’t know either. I don’t think she will. Today, when I was wiping your grandma’s body, I felt her legs were stiff and couldn’t be bent at all.”
