Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: A Moment of Clarity

As soon as Sun Yun entered the house, she saw her three daughters still rubbing corn, looking at their snow-white hands.

"You three stop it, be careful, your hands are tender."

They also heard what their parents said outside just now.

Zhao Xiaoling looked anxiously at her mom.

Sun Yun simply packed a few clothes. She also knew where the family’s money was kept. She didn’t take it but left the money for fertilizers this time, and put the rest in a place only she knew.

The three children watched her as Sun Yun put on clothes and said to them.

"You three are all in school and literate. Being literate means understanding manners. Just think about it, your dad hasn’t finished the chores at home yet is going to help your second uncle.

I, who barely know a few words, know this is unreasonable. We’re not even able to take care of our own family, and yet have energy to help others.

If we finish our work at home, I won’t say anything more.

If your dad wants to be like this, let him be. I can manage on my own.

So rest assured, I will still support you for your studies with money and food."

Zhao Xiaoling got off the bed "Mom, don’t be angry."

"Xiao Ling, you’re grown-up now. Do you think what your dad did is right?"

Zhao Xiaoling didn’t know how to respond, she also felt it was wrong.

Sun Yun sneered, "You’re just like your dad, always thinking only you’re the good people.

Alright, I’m leaving now. Whether you recognize me or not, it’s up to you."

Sun Yun hugged her daughter’s hand away and turned to leave.

Zhao Xiaole was still rubbing corn, "Big Sis, Mom is right, you’re also like this, not knowing your own limits.

You haven’t even finished your own tasks and you’re already thinking of helping others?

Didn’t nobody come over to help when we were unloading the car just now?"

Zhao Xiaoling nodded, "I know, I definitely won’t be like this in the future."

"As long as you know that. Many things aren’t one-sided."

Zhao Xiaoling also got up on the bed and continued to rub corn. Zhao Qingxiang, suppressing his anger, went to his brother’s house, only to find his parents and the couple just coming out.

Suddenly, he found them all so unpleasant to look at.

But he didn’t say anything and still helped with the unloading.

An Lixia saw that the eldest daughter was back, holding back tears.

"Mom." Zhao Yanli was very disappointed in them, knowing this wasn’t something she could control, and the sister-in-law wasn’t that great either.

What the parents were doing was really hurting the sister-in-law and the three nieces.

This time, Zhao Yanli didn’t do anything, just stood aside watching. How come the second brother and second sister-in-law seemed so changed?

If I were in such a situation, I’d certainly be upset too.

After they finished unloading, everyone followed them to Zhao Xiao Jing’s house.

They saw Xu Hongbing. Zhao Yanli sneered and turned her head back home.

An Lixia looked at the cold eldest daughter. "Xiao Li. What’s wrong?"

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you know about unloading the vehicle at my elder brother’s house just now?"

An Lixia felt uneasy. How could she not know? The old man was angry so he didn’t let them go.

"Mom. My sister-in-law just said she’s going back to her family home. Perfect, now you can watch your eldest son become a bachelor, yes, you all have skills, go find someone else for my elder brother."

An Lixia was startled, "Xiao Li."

"Mom, before Xiao Ling and Xiao Le took care of you. You said grandsons and granddaughters are all the same. Now that you think my elder brother doesn’t have a son, you care for my second brother more?

Ha, do you not think about it? If my in-laws were like this, rest assured, I wouldn’t take care of them for a day.

Alright. I won’t concern myself with your lousy affairs anymore. Do as you please."

After saying this, Zhao Yanli went to her sister-in-law’s house, not for the adults, but for her three nieces.

Entering the house, she saw only the three children rubbing corn.

"Auntie, my mom left." Zhao Xiaoling said sorrowfully. They came back, only to see their mom once more as she left again.

Zhao Yanli sighed, "It’s not wrong to leave. Xiao Ling, Xiao Le, you’re growing up, and some things you should know.

Your mom can actually choose to do nothing. Look, she’s already rubbed so much corn, she must have started early in the morning.

In fact, she can choose not to do it. Your dad goes to help others, she can rest, which is more comfortable than doing work.

Have you thought about it? Why is she still working despite being upset?

To put it plainly, she wants this family to have a good life, wanting to prepare all the grain for you before you leave.

Your dad is my real elder brother. In matters of loyalty and kinship, it’s your mom who does the real work.

In the future, you will get married too. Remember, never find a man who’s only nice without boundaries.

People should be good, but must not be good without limits.

People shouldn’t be too selfish, but if you’re not selfish, how can everyone build their own home? So this is a balance you must grasp."

Zhao Xiaole nodded, she had long understood this principle. They also knew that the grandfather, grandmother, and second uncle’s family lived their own days.

This is how realistic people are, even one’s closest kin are like this.

"Xiao Ling, your temperament is soft, like your dad, but have you ever thought about how your family, your closest kin, would think?

In the eyes of others, you are a good person, but in front of your closest relatives, you are an irresponsible person."

Zhao Xiaoling nodded, "Auntie, I understand."

The two sisters, once again, went outside to bring in two more bags of corn to continue rubbing.

Back to Zhao Qingxiang, after finishing the work, Xu Hongbing asked them to have a meal.

He didn’t stay, actually a bit afraid in his heart. Last year’s conflict with Sun Yun already made him quite angry. Only after finishing all the household tasks did he go to help the second brother’s home.

His dad always reminded him of being the eldest and taking care of the siblings at home.

This year’s big harvest required less manpower than last year. The couple just barely finished their work, and his dad came over asking for help again there.

Thinking of the daughters coming back in a few days, they decided to help the second brother’s house with the corn. They hadn’t finished their own tasks yet.

Hurriedly entering the house, only three children and the little sister were inside.

Looking at the wall without the wife’s coat hanging, is she really gone?

Zhao Yanli no longer wanted to say anything to them, she could talk to the three nieces, but others, it was a waste of words.

"Xiao Ling, where’s your mom?"

Zhao Xiaoling bowed her head, "My mom left."

Zhao Qingxiang nodded, really left, this was the first time she got so upset and went back to her family home, she must be really angry. But the fertilizers needed unloading with many people.

He also grabbed his coat, "I’m going to bring your mom back." After saying this, he left.

Zhao Xiaoli looked at the three nieces, "In the future, when finding a husband, definitely don’t find someone like that."

Zhou Yongbing directly parked the car at the door. Entering the house, he saw his wife rubbing corn.

Zhao Xiaole got off the bed, "Aunt, uncle, I’ll go cook, you two rest for a while."
