Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Sorrowful

This issue has been stagnant for a while, but Su Yuanyuan isn’t worried. She’s incredibly busy right now. It’s almost the end of the year, and there’s just too much to do.

Anyway, as long as she doesn’t budge, they’ll have to keep adding offers.

Today, it was rare for both of them to get off work on time. They went home together.

Once home, Tan Shaoting carried Su Yuanyuan into the space.

This time, he fully enjoyed himself. Before, outside, at most twice, but this time was different.

"I haven’t gone in here for a long time. I’m just afraid of anything unusual being discovered."

Tan Shaoting held his wife and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen."

Since they were already inside, Tan Shaoting decided he would make sure he was satisfied today.

The next day, he was full of energy. It was clear that Minister Tan was in a good mood today.

Daqing came over to deliver a letter, but still couldn’t meet the sister-in-law, as it was a morning full of meetings.

It wasn’t until lunchtime that Su Yuanyuan saw the letter from Zhao Yanli.

It was all about how sensible the kids are. Thinking about it now, Su Yuanyuan can understand it. She had been in similar conditions, even harsher than theirs.

Honestly, she wasn’t as good as these kids. She, at least, had some advantages, while the Zhao Family’s kids were purely self-disciplined. It’s truly commendable.

Tan Shaoting also saw the letter. He knew the Zhao Family held significant weight in his wife’s heart, and she had been acquainted with them siblings for several years. They were good people and close to her.

Before they could finish eating, Bai Yucheng came in.

"Minister Su, there’s a phone call for you."

Such a request could only mean a personal call. There weren’t many people who would call her. She picked up the phone.

"Yuanyuan, it’s Zeng Hongling."

Su Yuanyuan’s face lit up with a smile, "Hongling, how are you doing now?"

"I’m doing well, everything’s fine. Anyway, I see everything as good."

"That’s good then."

"Yuanyuan, I have some bad news for you."

Su Yuanyuan was stirred, "What’s the bad news?"

Her words caught Tan Shaoting’s attention, and he quickly leaned over.

"Daoist Zhan said that sheep died, but it was due to old age."

Su Yuanyuan let out a long sigh. The sheep was over ten years old. Death was normal, but it still made her feel uncomfortable.

Tan Shaoting knew about the sheep. It had been with his wife since she was young.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan?"

"It’s alright, not just animals, even humans can’t avoid death. Please thank Daoist Zhan and Daoist Wan for me."

"Yuanyuan, Daoist Wan buried the sheep, and it was the sheep’s chosen place, Daoist Wan said it was on the mountaintop where we first met it."

"Alright, I got it."

"Yuanyuan, don’t be sad. You said it yourself, life, old age, sickness, and death can’t be escaped."

"I know, don’t worry about me. How’s Mr. Zeng’s health?"

"Very good, with Yue Xing taking care of him, he’s much better than before."

Yuanyuan, I have to tell you. My grandfather and father have decided to let Yixin marry Yue Xing."

"That’s great! If the two elders think Shen Yuexing is good, then she really must be. Congratulations to Yixin."

"He didn’t object either. The engagement is set for early spring, and the wedding next year."

Su Yuanyuan knew Shen Yuexing wasn’t of age yet. It’s common nowadays. Early weddings aren’t questioned.

"How’s Xinyu doing?"

"She’s well. We have some photos to bring back to you with the returning car; she’s just a bit mischievous."

"If you have time, come back for a visit. My husband and kids are back."

"What? Yuanyuan, what did you say?"

"My kids and husband are back. If you have time, bring Xinyu to visit."

"Alright, alright, I’ll arrange it now. Yuanyuan, wait for me, I’ll follow a cargo truck back."

"No need to rush."

"How can I not rush, I’ll arrange it quickly."

Su Yuanyuan put down the phone. A gentle woman from the south, yet with such urgency.

Tan Shaoting patted his wife’s shoulder. He knew she felt uneasy. That sheep had been with her for so many years. If she hadn’t lost her memory, she wouldn’t have left it in the south alone.

"I’m fine. Even without remembering, I knew it would eventually leave. It’s not bad; it chose its favorite place in the end."

After hanging up, Zeng Hongling ran out to find Yang Liulang.

"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother."

Yang Liulang looked at his flustered wife, "What’s wrong? Couldn’t find Xiao Su?"

"No, no, Yuanyuan asked me to come over; she said her husband and children are back."

Yang Liulang knew about Tan Shaoting. So they’re back?

"Sixth Brother, when does the truck leave?"

"Tonight."

"I’ll take Xinyu and go with it. Tell the driver, I’ll go pack."

Yang Liulang grabbed his wife’s hand, "Wait, I’ll arrange it so we can go together." He didn’t trust just the two of them, and he was also curious about what Su Yuanyuan’s husband and children were like.

"By rights, Wei Guangxiang should know. Why hasn’t he told us?"

"He probably doesn’t know. Maybe he’s down south. Don’t overthink. Call Daoist Zhan. Is Yixin coming too?"

Zeng Hongling waved her hand, "I got it. I’ll call now. You hurry and arrange. If so many of us are going, we might have to take a train."

Zeng Hongling found her brother. The kid is now research talent, spending every day in the pharmacy studying old recipes.

"Sis, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yixin, I just called Yuanyuan. She told me her husband and kids are back, and she wants me to visit. Do you want to come?"

Zeng Yixin was dumbfounded, "They’re back?"

Zeng Hongling nodded, "Yes, they’re back." Seeing her brother’s blank expression made her heart ache. This silly boy. Knowing it’s impossible, why can’t he let go?

Zeng Yixin’s mind was filled with the words "they’re back."

"Yixin?"

"Sis, when are we leaving?"

"If you’re coming, we’ll take the train.

I still need to call Daoist Zhan. Wei Guangxiang might not know, can you contact him and let him know too?"

Also a deeply entangled person. Let them completely give up.

"Okay, I’ll contact Wei Guangxiang. You call Daoist Zhan."

The siblings went their separate ways. Zeng Hongling called Zhan Yunzhao.

"Hongling, I’ll take the train straight over myself."

"Alright, see you in the Capital then."

Yang Liulang arranged the work at the pharmaceutical factory. Their visit fit well with reporting to the main factory.

But since his wife was in a hurry, he had to arrange it swiftly.

Zeng Yixin also contacted Wei Guangxiang, who was at Su Yuanyuan’s old home, and had been there for several months collecting medicinal herbs.

"Yixin, what did you say?"
