Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Xu Hongbing

Zeng Zhenqing was still aware of some news. The two sat together drinking tea.

"The move is alright."

"Whatever they’re afraid of, just give it to them."

"Alright, let’s settle it that way." Xu Guozhi might know about this, but surely no one else does.

"By the way, our place is going to select some people anew this time, go and have a look."

"Alright, I know. Does the leadership have anyone special in mind?"

"Why don’t you check the files yourself, I saw a few promising ones."

"Alright."

Tan Shaoting was quite willing to bring in some new people. He was still thinking that when the opportunity arose, he could branch out and handle some simple matters.

The three siblings of Qi Yan returned. Tomorrow they are going down. This time the duration will be longer, and their plan is to review everyone and select the best ones.

"Mom, what do you think about starting a special school?"

"That’s possible. You all make a plan, and I’ll take a look."

"Alright. We’ll think it over on this trip, it has to be comprehensive."

"Alright."

"It’s almost October, don’t stay outside too long."

"Mom, we’ll surely be back before the New Year."

Sending off the three children, Su Yuanyuan felt a bit depressed. Although not always together, she could see them whenever she missed them. Now, with the three siblings leaving together, who knew when they would meet again.

Tan Shaoting once again thought they should have another child, so at least when the three older ones were gone, they’d have a child by their side.

But he had tried so hard, why hadn’t it happened?

In fact, he knew having children took a certain fate. In the Cultivation World, children are born very rarely; once you begin cultivation, it becomes very difficult to have children.

That’s why he was so delighted when he learned his wife was pregnant at that time.

In his mind, they were all cultivators, so wanting a child was practically impossible.

Now that they have Qi Yan and the other two, he began to have extravagant hopes again.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know what he was thinking. She was considering the possibility of a school.

It’s indeed a great suggestion, as a training base.

Far away, Xu Hongbing was packing today. He was preparing to come over, leaving this place with his daughter.

He’s an extremely smart person. He maintained good relations here and also has a flexible mind. So after two years, he left this place.

When Huang Mei heard the news, she came over, wanting to leave too.

Looking at this woman, Xu Hongbing had a smile on his face.

"Xu Hongbing, could you help me? I want to leave with you too."

"I don’t have that ability."

"You do, you’re able to leave here. Why can’t you help me?"

"I left here because I worked hard. You should find a way; actually, if you try a bit harder, there’s hope."

Listening to this, tears fell from Huang Mei’s eyes. "Xu Hongbing, I came here because of you. You’re leaving, why can’t you help me?"

"Huang Mei, I also came because of you. You need to know what happened when we first went together.

I stayed silent about how we came together, and that’s my biggest kindness to you.

You should leave, find your own way; it truly is too tough here."

The little girl looked at the two of them; she is almost two now and still has no name. Xu Hongbing really doesn’t know what name to give her. Let her take his surname, but he wasn’t willing.

Yet after all, she accompanied him through the most painful days. That’s why he thought of taking her when he left.

"Xu Hongbing, are you really going to be heartless?"

"I never had any feelings. Go back."

How could Huang Mei be content? "Xu Hongbing, take me with you? Once we’re out, I promise I’ll be good to you. Live a steady life with you."

Xu Hongbing had indeed worked hard for over two years, his face now showing the wear of time. No longer the handsome man he was before. This was also the result of his efforts.

He laughed at Huang Mei’s words, "You want to follow me. I wouldn’t want that."

Huang Mei was provoked by Xu Hongbing’s mocking smile.

"Haha. You think you’re going back, will that foolish woman still want you?"

Xu Hongbing’s eyes turned gloomy for a moment but quickly concealed it.

"That’s my business."

"Haha. It’s not just your business, Xu Hongbing, someone like you will definitely face consequences in the future."

This time, Xu Hongbing remained silent, realizing his consequence was right here. His once beautiful and happy family was now gone.

His son no longer acknowledged him; what could be more painful than that?

Huang Mei still couldn’t bear to leave; she stayed there crying. Xu Hongbing thought about many things. He worried this woman might do something harmful to him. Picking up the little girl, he left.

She can fuss if she wants. There truly can’t be any accidents here.

He no longer wanted to live here. These past two years were full of regret, without a single day free of it.

Watching Xu Hongbing rush out, Huang Mei realized she was utterly finished. Was there truly no sentiment left for her?

Xu Hongbing took the child directly to the captain’s place.

"Mr. Xu, have you finished packing? It will be a while before you can leave."

Xu Hongbing shook his head. "I haven’t finished, Huang Mei heard I was leaving, so she made a fuss.

What else can I do? If you want to leave here, you must rely on your own efforts."

"Indeed, it’s good you’ve thought it through."

"Captain, I have nothing to pack really. Those things can be left behind." He was scared of Huang Mei. He didn’t want her issues to keep him from leaving.

"Without them, how will you live outside? I’ll go with you."

When they returned to the house, Huang Mei was already gone. Only then did Xu Hongbing breathe a sigh of relief.

He hurried to pack, realizing there wasn’t much here. As they left, they needed meals; the tools must be brought along. Clothes for changing, though worn and old, were better than wearing the same outfit.

Finished packing, he didn’t want to stay there, leaving with the captain.

When the ox cart rolled out, Xu Hongbing felt an urge to cry. Finally, he was out. At last, he left this place.

Looking at the vast desert outside, Xu Hongbing found it strangely pleasing.

Reaching the train station, he thanked the captain, carried a bag, and held the little girl’s hand, walking in without looking back; he was finally leaving this damned place.

He understood the importance of his own efforts, that his issues weren’t severe, working hard, and being willing to spend. Only then could he leave that place.

He had decided to go to the farm. Perhaps there was still a chance to stay there.
