Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Visiting

Xiao Jing immediately thought, then there would be no one to back her up in the future. Could Xu Hongbing still treat her like before? This made her scared again.

Xu Hongbing also saw his wife’s expression and sighed in his heart. She’s really naive. People like Su Yuanyuan and her husband, even if they resign, they can still turn the tables with ease.

However, he didn’t resent her much. If not for Zhao Xiao Jing, he wouldn’t have been able to return, and in the future, he would have to be more cautious around her.

Su Yuanyuan knew their thoughts and smiled. They were indeed a perfect match, one willing to hit and the other willing to take it. Nothing bad about it.

Zhao Tian, hearing Su Yuanyuan’s words, also showed a disappointed expression.

Su Yuanyuan understood his thoughts too. This was something she could help with.

Chatting with Hu Haihua and Xu Chunjiao, they talked about this matter. As people get older, they still want to return to their roots. It’s okay to let Zhao Qingxiang and the others go back. But it depends on their own opinions.

”Uncle, is there something troubling you?”

Before Zhao Tian could answer, Tan Shaoting entered with Zhao Qingxiang and Zhao Qingjie and his wife.

After some more polite exchanges, Qi Yan and the others also came over to meet them.

Sun Yun looked at Qi Hao in Qi Wen’s arms, her eyes shining. ”Yuanyuan, can I hold Qi Hao?”

Su Yuanyuan knew Sun Yun’s thoughts and nodded with a smile. ”Why not? You’re their aunt.”

Sun Yun carefully took Qi Hao, with Qi Wen standing beside her, and Divine Sense enveloping Qi Hao, fearing any harm to her brother.

”Yuanyuan, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan are really good-looking, just like Qi Yan and the others were when they were young.”

Everyone who had seen Qi Yan and the others said the same.

Qi Wen took Qi Hao and they excused themselves to the next room.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan didn’t fuss even when away from their mom.

”Sister-in-law, please sit down, don’t tire yourself.”

At this moment, Tan Shaoting brought in some freshly washed grapes.

”Sister-in-law, try these. We brought them back from another place, they are especially sweet.”

Su Yuanyuan preferred talking to Sun Yun among the three women in the house, not really wanting to interact with the other two.

Sun Yun also got on the heated bed, sitting beside Su Yuanyuan, holding her hand.

”Yuanyuan, we haven’t seen each other in over ten years, and you haven’t changed a bit. Earlier, when we stood together, we looked like sisters. Now, sitting together, people might even believe we’re mother and daughter.”

Su Yuanyuan knew Sun Yun meant what she said from her heart, not just flattering her.

Sun Yun indeed aged a lot, which was very normal given the constant exposure to the elements and intense physical labor.

”Sister-in-law, you’re exaggerating. But you have aged a lot. When you go to the city, remember to buy some face cream. Women, you have to be good to yourself.”

Sun Yun was moved by Su Yuanyuan’s words. ”Alright, I’ll remember it.”

Su Yuanyuan noticed Zhao Tian was very anxious, so she looked at him, ”Uncle, what’s troubling you? We got interrupted just now.”

”Yuanyuan, your aunt passed away,” Zhao Tian said sadly. His demeanor made Sun Yun ignore him, as if he finally found his backer, implying that his children weren’t good to him.

”Uncle, my condolences. I know Aunt has passed. Xiao Li wrote me a letter. Before coming here, I went to the village and told my two aunts about it. By the way, the village head also passed away.”

The Zhao family father and son looked at Su Yuanyuan in disbelief.

Zhao Tian was a bit anxious. ”Yuanyuan, how come your uncle, with his good health, passed away?”

”My aunt said he was fine during dinner, but he was not okay by midnight. They couldn’t find anything wrong at the hospital either.”

Now Zhao Tian was even more scared. Yang Hongwen’s health was better than his. If he was gone, he had to be even more careful.

”Yuanyuan, my aunt passed away. I want to take her back home.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”Uncle, that’s understandable. I’ll inform here, you can leave whenever you want.”

This made Zhao Tian troubled. ”Yuanyuan, I’m already at this age. Who knows when I might be gone.

Can you let your eldest and second brother go back with us too?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded. ”Sure. That’s not a problem. You guys discuss it, once you’ve decided to go back, let me know.”

This eased Zhao Tian a bit. The most difficult thing to say had to be said.

”Yuanyuan, when we go back, can you arrange a job for your eldest and second brother?”

This, Su Yuanyuan didn’t immediately agree to. ”Uncle, Brother Xiubo and the others work at the cement plant.

That was arranged by my previous secretary. My brothers aren’t that educated, if they want to work, it’d still be at the cement plant.

The work there is exhausting and unhealthy, inhaling a lot of dust every day. You decide for yourselves.”

Sun Yun and Qi Xue Mei said nothing. They certainly didn’t want to leave. Here, they had their family. If they followed back, with just that little land, they wouldn’t earn much and would be far from family, leaving them feeling insecure.

Both were thinking about how to dissuade their husbands from going back.

”But that’s a formal job,” Zhao Tian said.

”Yes, it’s a formal job, but the pay isn’t high. The first to work at the cement plant was Yang Zhiqiang. It’s been several years, and I heard from my aunt the salary was only thirty yuan a month, and you have to carry hundreds of bags of cement daily.

I’m not refusing. If you decide to go back and want to work at the cement plant, I’ll arrange it.”

With things said to this extent, Zhao Tian said nothing more.

Both Sun Yun and Qi Xue Mei felt assured, thinking that after earning slightly over 300 a year and spending on food and drink, nothing would be left.

They realized that at the farm, they could save 500 yuan a year with two working, not counting food, and it wasn’t dangerous. Comparing the two, here was better.

Zhao Tian nodded, ”Okay, we’ll discuss going back, I want to take your aunt home.”

”Uncle, your house is still there.”

Zhao Tian nodded, feeling relieved, thankful no one bought it, or they wouldn’t have a home to go back to.

Xiao Jing, listening, also felt envious. It could be a formal job, but after hearing the rest, she was uncertain.

”Sister-in-law, I’ll go see Xiao Li first. Xiao Jing and Xiao Ling are doing great, your hard work paid off.”

Sun Yun’s face was all smiles, ”Yes, I used to look down on them thinking they’re girls, now I realize how outstanding they are.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”Yes, there’s nothing bad about girls, raising them well allows you to enjoy life.”

Sun Yun nodded with a smile, ”I know, I know, even if I have to beg for food, I’d sell everything to ensure they attend school.

I used to be at fault, not being good enough to them.”
