Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065: Yang Xue

On the night of the 23rd of the lunar calendar, Yang Xue came back and brought some things for her parents.

But she didn’t dare to bring them home, otherwise it would lead to a fight. Because of her job, their home was in chaos like chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"Mom, these are the defective products from the building. They say they’re defective, but there’s actually nothing wrong with them. Take a look?" Yang Xue smiled as she took things out.

Two snow-white towels, a thermos, and two pairs of rubber shoes.

Hu Chunhua smiled as she looked through them. She didn’t forget to remind her husband, "Go heat up some food for Xue. We had dumplings at home today—some with sauerkraut and some with cabbage. Put a little oil in and fry them."

Yang Minggang smiled as he got up to make food for his daughter.

Yang Xue looked at Xiao Fei, "This is my nephew? I’m your aunt."

Xiao Fei shyly called out "aunt," and then went to sit next to Shubao.

Yang Xue laughed and took a handful of candy from her pocket. "Shubao, you and your brother share these; they’re milk candies."

Shubao cheerfully took them, "Aunt is still the best."

"You, huh."

At this moment, Yang Zhiqiang and Yu Xiuqin also arrived. The two of them had just lain down. Hearing the commotion, they hurried over.

"Big brother, sister-in-law." Yang Xue greeted them with a smile.

"Xue’er, why did you come back so late?"

"Isn’t it almost the New Year? There were so many people shopping, and new stock kept coming in. We had to keep working.

Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry I couldn’t come back for your wedding. I really can’t take any leave right now, and I have to work from the 28th until the second day of the New Year."

Yu Xiuqin looked at this pretty and straightforward sister-in-law and felt a fondness. You really need to have a fateful connection to get along with someone, and the two of them just seemed to have it.

"It’s no problem, no problem."

"Xiaoqin, come up onto the bed. Xue brought this back for you, she said they’re defective, but look, I can’t find a single problem."

Yang Xue knew this was mom’s way of helping improve her relationship with her sister-in-law. So, she responded, "Yeah, sister-in-law, take a look, they’re really nice. They took care of me, gave me two towels and two pairs of rubber shoes, just right for my brother."

Yu Xiuqin smiled as she joined them and looked at the things placed on the bed. They really were good; the towels were thick enough.

"Mom, just give me one towel. You and Dad can use one each, and these shoes, one pair each for Dad and Zhiqiang."

Hu Chunhua laughed, "No need, these two towels will be one each for my two grandsons."

The whole family sat together happily, and the aroma wafted in. Before long, Yang Minggang brought in two big bowls of dumplings. "Zhiqiang, set them on the table.

Xue, hurry and eat, and I’ll take you back later."

Yang Xue didn’t hold back; it’s always different at home.

"Do you two want to eat more?" She asked the two boys.

"Aunt, you eat. We’re full; today’s dumplings were delicious—you should eat more."

While eating, there was a knock on the door. Yang Minggang went to open it; turns out it was the son-in-law who had come over.

"Chengmin, have you eaten? Sit down and have some water and dumplings." Hu Chunhua greeted the son-in-law.

"Mom, I’ve eaten. I came to pick up Xue."

His wife had told him yesterday that after work today she’d be returning to her mom’s house, so he came to pick her up.

"Come up onto the bed, it’s too cold down there."

"Mom, I’m not cold. Big brother, sister-in-law."

Shubao called out to uncle, and Xiao Fei followed.

Sun Chengmin nodded with a smile and chatted with Yang Zhiqiang.

When Yang Xue saw her husband had come back, she also quickened her pace to finish eating.

Yang Minggang went outside to find a fish, as they couldn’t let the son-in-law feel unappreciated. They’d never make their daughter feel awkward.

After sending off their daughter and son-in-law, "Xiaoqin, leave one pair of rubber shoes for your dad, and take the rest with you.

Our family doesn’t make a fuss over these things; you’ll see in time."

Yu Xiuqin nodded with a smile, "Mom, I understand."

She cleaned up the dishes, and the couple returned to their room, lying down on the bed once more.

"Zhiqiang, mom is really good."

"Yes, my mom is reasonable and fair."

An hour later, Yang Xue and her husband arrived home. There were dumplings left for her at home too. Even though she was full, Yang Xue still took them back to her own house. There’s no choice since they hadn’t divided the family yet; it’s always like this.

With so many people in the family, leaving some for herself meant at most thirty dumplings. If she didn’t eat them, she’d want to give them to the kids.

The two children were already asleep. The dumplings were covered on the table.

Sun Chengmin got water for his wife, Yang Xue, who always kept clean, even though it was hard to stay clean after coming back every day.

Later, lying on the bed, Sun Chengmin crawled into his wife’s covers.

"Xue, my wife works so hard."

"Not at all. Chengmin, are we not dividing the family again this year? I just want to go live in the city. I already asked around; there are houses for sale in the city. We don’t have enough money now, so I’ll go ask my parents, my big brother, and my younger brother."

Sun Chengmin held his wife tighter. "I’m not sure either. Today, the second brother’s wife was upset with mom. No one dare ask."

"It’s okay, when I have holiday on the 28th, I’ll ask.

It’s already dragged on for so many years. I’ve had enough of this life, and I want our two kids to go to school too."

"Okay, we’ll talk when you have your holiday. Actually, they don’t want to separate the family because of your job. It’s a good thing you found this job, otherwise, if it were mine, it probably wouldn’t last." Sun Chengmin really had no choice.

"Hmph, dreaming? Try getting me angry? My family wouldn’t let them off. All these years, they know what kind of life I’ve had; it’s just that I haven’t made a fuss.

If I quit, then they’ll realize how powerful my family is."

"Yes, indeed, my wife’s family is formidable." Sun Chengmin didn’t really want to live in the city. His wife had a job; what would he do?

How could Yang Xue not know her husband’s thoughts? Actually, she thought about asking Yuanyuan, but she never mentioned it to anyone. If worse comes to worst, just farm at home, and go to the city when free, right? In any case, she wanted their two kids to attend school in the city.

The couple had an intimate moment. "Xue, what will I do if we really go to the city in the future?"

"If not, you can just farm at home. This way, our family will have food to eat. When you have the time, come visit us in the city.

You know, I’m really tired of commuting back and forth every day.

And most importantly, let the two kids go to school in the city. They could gain real knowledge in the future. Finding someone like Yuanyuan would definitely help."

Sun Chengmin fell silent. Yes, the kids should go to school. Playing around outside all the time, what would happen to them in the future? Just looking at wife and brother-in-law, the older one without education could only work in a cement factory. The younger brother-in-law and wife had easy jobs.
