Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Coming Back

Old Li cracked his whip, saying, "It’s good that you’ve figured it out. You came back early, didn’t you?"

"Yeah, I behaved well. So I was released early."

"Good, just live well now." Even an old man wouldn’t say much, he just kept insisting to Xu Hongbing to live a good life.

The old man was kind-hearted, worried Xu Hongbing might have no food, so he brought more with him.

It hasn’t snowed yet. Traveling speed was still decent. He arrived at the farm in the middle of the night.

Because Old Li came here often, he was familiar with the place. The vehicle went straight to the door of Zhao Xiaojing’s house.

"Uncle Li, why are we here?"

"This is the place. It’s not like before. Your brother-in-law is living in your old house."

Xu Hongbing frowned. But still got out of the car.

Zhao Xiaojing, sleeping with her son in her arms, heard noise outside and groggily sat up. "Who’s there?"

Having lived on the farm for so many years, she had gotten used to the safety here. So she spoke while going to open the door.

Xu Hongbing heard the voice and instantly recognized it as Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Xiaojing didn’t hear an answer and didn’t mind, opening the door of the house instead.

Xu Hongbing saw the woman wrapped in a cotton coat—his wife.

As Zhao Xiaojing opened the door, the cold wind snapped her awake.

Under the moonlight, seeing Xu Hongbing at the door, she was stunned.

"Xiao Jing, I’m back."

Zhao Xiaojing frowned, "Why did you come back? We have nothing to do with each other anymore." She said, trying to shut the door.

Xu Hongbing noticed her movement. He darted in and grabbed Zhao Xiaojing.

Without a word, he started kissing her. Having been without a woman for more than two years, how could he not have missed her?

Zhao Xiaojing was shocked, struggling fiercely. At this moment, a child’s voice calling for Mom came from inside the house.

Xu Hongbing disregarded everything now. He closed the door with his foot, ignoring Zhao Xiaojing’s struggle, and slid his hand inside her clothes.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, I was wrong before. I won’t make mistakes anymore, I’ll live a good life with you.

Xiao Jing, after being away for over two years, I realized how much I like you. Xiao Jing, let’s live together again."

By this time, he had already carried Zhao Xiaojing into the house.

Zhao Xiaojing was still struggling, but how could she be a match for Xu Hongbing? Xu Hongbing over there really endured this and, being in his thirties, was in his prime.

Liantang saw his mum coming in with a man and shouted in terror for his mom.

By now, Xu Hongbing’s eyes were red. Seeing that little boy, he realized instantly that this was not his child. He could tell at a glance.

Liantang bears a great resemblance to Tang Yiqing. At this moment, the worst thoughts arose in Xu Hongbing’s heart. Yet, he still didn’t let go of Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Xiaojing saw her son crying, "Liantang, be good, don’t cry, it’s okay. It’s okay, lie down and sleep."

Xu Hongbing was just watching. But he still didn’t release Zhao Xiaojing.

He was a smart man. Looking at the room, there were no traces of another person living here.

Zhao Xiaojing wanted to break free to calm her son, but Xu Hongbing wouldn’t let go.

"Let go, Xu Hongbing, let go of me."

Suddenly, Xu Hongbing let go. Zhao Xiaojing immediately went to cuddle Liantang, soothing him. Now she couldn’t care less about Xu Hongbing.

In the dead of night, it’s the time for kids to sleep, so Liantang was quickly soothed.

After freeing Zhao Xiaojing, Xu Hongbing went out directly.

He didn’t leave. Instead, he hooked the main door to ensure safety.

Sitting on the small bench by the stove, his heart felt frozen now.

What’s with this child? And what about Haifeng?

Sitting there, listening to Zhao Xiaojing soothe the child, he suddenly got up and looked in a room, finding no signs of anyone living there.

So it was only Zhao Xiaojing living alone with this child. Who was that man?

He sat back down in agony, how could it be like this? He wasn’t worried about his own two kids, he knew the Zhao Family would surely take good care of them. But why did Zhao Xiaojing have another man?

Hearing that everything inside had gone quiet, he suddenly stood up and rushed in. Zhao Xiaojing was facing away from him.

"You wait outside."

Xu Hongbing was stunned for a moment, Zhao Xiaojing had never spoken to him in such a cold and distant tone.

He stood there for a while. Initially, he wanted to shout and cause a scene, but now he really didn’t dare.

He went to the main room and sat down again.

Now, his mind was in utter chaos. He had considered everything, even the Zhao family’s disapproval, but never that Zhao Xiaojing would have another man.

He felt very confident, knowing this woman loved him, yet the reality was like this.

Having coaxed Liantang to sleep, Zhao Xiaojing knew she had to go out eventually.

So she got up and put on her clothes, the single garment had been torn by Xu Hongbing just now.

Even outside, she put on a cotton coat.

When she came out, she saw Xu Hongbing sitting by the stove.

Xu Hongbing heard the noise and lifted his head; there was no light here, so he couldn’t see Zhao Xiaojing’s expression.

"Xu Hongbing, why did you come back?"

"Xiao Jing, this is my home."

"It hasn’t been for a long time."

Hearing this, Xu Hongbing was hit hard. The earlier shock was huge, and hearing this made him tense again. He stood up emotionally, took a step to Zhao Xiaojing’s side, and wrapped her up.

"You can scream, this time I won’t let you go soothe the kid."

Zhao Xiaojing didn’t shout but struggled desperately.

Xu Hongbing carried her into another room; it wasn’t occupied, but there was a heated brick bed.

Now, Xu Hongbing thought of nothing, just wanted to have this woman.

After finally getting his wish, Zhao Xiaojing’s struggle lessened.

They had been married for many years. Xu Hongbing knew exactly how to please Zhao Xiaojing.

At this age, both had needs. Gradually, Zhao Xiaojing also cooperated with Xu Hongbing.

They got along very well, both having been deprived of this kind of life for a while, so by the time they were completely finished, it was almost dawn and the roosters outside were crowing.

With Zhao Xiaojing in his arms, Xu Hongbing felt cold now, so he covered them both with his coat.

"Xiao Jing, I won’t ask about the child, let’s live as we did before.

It’s hard being a woman alone. I swear, I’ll never do anything to hurt you again."

Zhao Xiaojing hadn’t calmed down yet, both of them nakedly entwined, she still remembered everything that had just happened between them. Now, she started to feel something again for Xu Hongbing.

Years of marriage, they’ve resented and hated.
