Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050: Meeting

Zhan Yunzhao walked over with a smile, "Xiao Su, good things happen to good people."

"Haha, thank you, Daoist Zhan."

"I really envy you, these three kids are truly exceptional, which makes sense since their parents are too."

Wei Guangxiang watched from the side, thinking only such a man could be worthy of Su Yuanyuan.

Zeng Yaozu also felt a twinge of envy, "Xiao Su, Xiao Tan, take the kids inside, we shouldn’t stay outside."

The group headed inside. Su Yuanyuan introduced the Zeng Family to the three kids.

Qi Yan and his siblings knew they must be important in their mom’s eyes.

During the years they weren’t with their mom, they must have kept her company.

From their hearts, they were grateful to them. Even though they were young, they understood the pain of separation. Their mom had it really tough on her own.

Chengzi had already moved the gifts Qi Yan and the others bought that afternoon inside.

Qi Wen smiled as she watched the little one and waved him over.

Xinyu ran quickly to Qi Wen’s side, looking up, "Sister."

"Xinyu, this is the gift my brother and I picked for you. We weren’t sure what you’d like, so we got a few things, and here are some snacks we got for you, they should be pretty tasty."

Xinyu’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, brother and sister."

"No need to thank us."

This was Mom’s godson, and their godbrother. In the future, they would definitely have a strong bond. This little one seemed alright for now, they’d see how he turned out when he grew up.

The kid took out the snacks, running over to give them to the eldest first, then to his grandpa. This was pretty good, at least he had a good heart.

The three siblings also acknowledged Xinyu. It wasn’t easy to do so.

"Yuanyuan, Xiao Xing and I will go cook, let the four of them taste the flavor from our place."

Yang Liulang also went along. There were two elders in the living room, but since they were all family, there was no problem with Xinyu.

Wei Guangxiang sat gloomily to one side, not knowing what to say. He didn’t want to say anything either.

He knew he shouldn’t be like this, but his heart was really heavy. Although he always knew there was no chance, there was still a sliver of hope that now had completely vanished.

Zhan Yunzhao was in a good mood, feeling the Su Yuanyuan’s family had a destined connection with him. He even thought about wanting to take on a disciple.

But he knew he wasn’t qualified. Yet his heart was itching.

"Xiao Jiang, your three kids are really outstanding."

"Daoist Zhan, you flatter me. They’re just ordinary kids."

Zhan Yunzhao shook his head with a smile, "Though I may not be exceptional, I can still tell. With parents like you two, your kids wouldn’t be subpar."

"Daoist Zhan, you’re really in high spirits today."

"I’m just speaking truthfully, I’m not like those charlatans."

Everyone laughed. Though they once saw Daoist Zhan as a worldly sage, spending time with him revealed he was more down-to-earth than they were.

Tan Shaoting sat aside, watching his wife in such a relaxed state, as if she were with her Zhao Family.

But those two men were really an eyesore. He could see through their little thoughts at a glance.

But they were destined to pour out their feelings in vain. His wife would never look at them.

Xinyu just circled around Qi Yan and his siblings. The four children exchanged jokes in low voices, and Xinyu shared stories from home with them.

"Brother Qi Yan, you all can come visit our house.

My mom, dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa all have a lot of treasures.

Though they call them treasures, I can’t see what’s so special about them."

"Xinyu, what do you think is good? Snacks?" Qi Hong teased the little guy. Actually, having a little one like this at home was quite nice; he wondered if Mom would have more little siblings for them.

"Brother Qi Hong, you’re really smart. Don’t you think snacks are better than those untouchable treasures?"

Qi Yan and Qi Wen both stifled their laughter, nodding beside him. Kids were really too cute.

The adults continued chatting, mostly Zhan Yunzhao speaking. "Xiao Su, some funds have been distributed already. Do you think I can build a Daoist temple now?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Daoist Zhan, I don’t think it’s the right time. You should wait a few more years.

If you start building now, it probably won’t be long before it’s shut down, better wait until things have calmed down."

"Alright, I’ll listen to Xiao Su. Anyway, I’ve got twenty to thirty more years to live. I’ll have the chance to build a Daoist temple then."

"Yes, Daoist Zhan, you’re right, you’ll definitely get the chance."

"Xiao Su, my junior brother wanted to visit you, but he suddenly felt unwell, so he couldn’t come. He asked me to send his regards."

"Thank you, Daoist Wan, for thinking of me. Daoist Wan has really been a great help, especially taking care of that sheep for me."

"Xiao Su, you’re mistaken, it wasn’t my junior brother taking care of the sheep, but the sheep keeping him company.

After the sheep died, my junior brother fell ill. I told him he was too attached, but he wouldn’t listen.

He feels guilty towards you for not taking good care of the sheep."

"I’m really grateful to Daoist Wan. It’s just fate between him and the sheep."

"That’s what I told him, but he wouldn’t listen. I brought another sheep from the mountain, but he wouldn’t accept it."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "That sheep was really special. Daoist Wan has already done so much, I’m truly grateful."

Thinking of that sheep made Su Yuanyuan a bit sad.

Qi Yan and the others heard the news too.

They remembered the sheep. They used to play with it when they were kids; it would always lie on the ground, staying still no matter how they played with it. Sometimes, when Mom cooked, the sheep would keep them company in the yard.

Mom and they were surely talking about that same sheep, nothing else. Qi Yan and the others felt down too.

Xinyu sensed the change in his brother and sisters’ mood, not knowing what to do, so he took out three snacks and handed them to them.

Su Yuanyuan had her eyes on the kids all along, understanding they would be sad upon hearing this news.

But it was unavoidable. Birth, aging, sickness, and death—if you live in this world, you can’t avoid them.

Qi Wen accepted the snacks from the little guy with a smile, "Thank you, Xinyu."

"Sister, have a snack, it’s really sweet and tasty.

Mom says as long as you eat snacks, you won’t be unhappy."

Qi Yan and Qi Hong both took the snacks. The little guy was quite something. Their approval of him grew a bit more.
