Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 854: Letter from 854

"Minister Su, I am Wang Jianchuan, previously responsible for affairs regarding H Country."

The current tensions between the two countries make such people necessary.

"Minister Su, I am Qian Zhifeng, I was previously responsible for affairs regarding J Country."

The last female colleague also stepped forward, "Minister Su, my name is Song Lanping. I haven’t been officially assigned a job, but I have worked with the Third Secretary of R Country."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "You all have work experience, go back and prepare a report on your responsibilities."

The five people nodded respectfully and left.

At lunchtime, Zhang Chunsheng arrived, "Here is your letter."

"I’ll have to trouble you in the future; I can only have the letters sent to your place now."

Zhang Chunsheng nodded, "How’s work now?"

"It’s okay. I’ve gotten more used to it than before."

After lunch, they each went their separate ways. Su Yuanyuan returned to the office with the letter, seeing it was from Zhao Yanli.

Although not knowing how good their relationship was before, the words revealed they once were the closest friends.

While reading the letter, a faint smile appeared on Su Yuanyuan’s face.

After finishing, she put it down smilingly. At the time, she requested that the newspaper photos not show her full face.

They could recognize that. Their eyes were sharp indeed.

Here at the Second Farm, the autumn harvest is nearing its end.

Today the Li Family slaughtered pigs, they wouldn’t sell to others in the farm, just gave ten pounds of meat to a few families, with the rest for themselves.

Li Liyun, now sixteen, has grown into a very beautiful young woman.

Li Hongxiang no longer lets his granddaughter do tiring work. After all, she is already a big girl, and if money can solve it, there’s no need to tire the children.

"Grandpa, the pork has been delivered. However, Uncle Li said he wants to buy a few pounds."

The Uncle Li that Li Liyun mentioned is someone who helps them work.

"We’ll see later, there’s no way to give it now."

Li Hongxiang has always maintained good relations with these hired people. First, they work hard and earnestly.

Second, having been together for years, relationships naturally deepen as both parties contribute.

Moreover, Li Hongxiang is not a stingy person. During these nearly two months of work, he wouldn’t make others suffer in terms of food and drink.

Looking at his granddaughter and the steady grandson walking over, he knows he has to ask Xiao Su for help.

Now, with Su Yuanyuan’s position, it’s no problem to provide the children a stable environment.

"Grandpa, what are you thinking?" Li Shaoguang asked curiously while drinking water, noticing his grandpa often zoning out lately.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Guang, do you two want to leave here and live outside?"

"Grandpa, are we leaving here?" Li Liyun asked.

"That’s my thought. If you both want it, I’ll take you to find Su Yuanyuan."

"Sister Yuanyuan? It’s been years since we contacted her. I wonder how she is now?"

Li Hongxiang hasn’t told the children about Su Yuanyuan’s current job.

Li Shaoguang felt a surge of excitement, as a boy, he dreamed of picking up a gun to protect the country.

Last time, his grandpa firmly opposed it, but that didn’t extinguish his desire.

Going to find Sister Yuanyuan, since they’re in the army, maybe he has a chance?

"Grandpa, will it be convenient at Sister Yuanyuan’s place?"

"I don’t know, after the autumn harvest, let’s find your Sister Xiao Li. She must have Su Yuanyuan’s address, and we can only check it out."

Since being rescued, he’s been raising the kids at the farm, and now they are grown enough to go see the world. Li Hongxiang thinks things might not be as strict now, going out shouldn’t be much of a problem.

"Grandpa, are we leaving with the brother-in-laws?"

"If possible, that would be best and save us from trouble along the way."

Meanwhile, Zhao Qingxiang is busy with the autumn harvest too, already making arrangements with Director Feng; the tasks are delivered early, and the aired grains are all collected.

Sun Yun has developed several mouth ulcers, worrying about the huge expense of sending two wastrels to school and providing grains, and she is getting stressed.

But the husband, who never argued, surprisingly told her to return to her mother’s, which she really didn’t dare to.

She’s lived happily with Zhao Qingxiang for all these years, never had an argument, and he always yielded to her, never forced her to work, only if she wanted to.

Despite having three daughters, he never begrudged her; she had seen too many women, having daughters, face terrible lives.

So sharing life with Zhao Qingxiang is a blessing.

"I want to get pregnant again, yet can’t. What if I have a son, but all the money was spent by these three wastrels?"

She felt extremely resentful, yet didn’t dare express it in front of her husband, feeling really oppressed.

Zhao Xiaoling and Xiao Le, the sisters, are now avoiding their mom, feeling terrified under her gaze.

"Xiao Le, you should go to school. I’ll not go. With us two gone, home life would definitely worsen."

"Sis, no, you must go to school. You can’t work like this all your life, even if it’s hard now, when you succeed, you’d surely care for mom and dad, right?"

"But for both of us to go, it really costs a lot of money."

"Then study hard; Aunt Xiao Yun said we can skip grades. If we graduate junior high in less than eight years, wouldn’t that save money?"

"Sis, I’ve never met Aunt Yuanyuan. But I hear from family, after graduation, we can find her, and she won’t ignore us."

Zhao Xiaoling was convinced by her sister, not because of the future job prospects, but the possibility of skipping grades and saving money.

"Xiao Le, I don’t have much memory of Aunt Yuanyuan either. But let’s not expect to take advantage, nor to trouble people."

Zhao Xiaole nodded, "Okay, but Big Aunt, Old Aunt won’t neglect us either.

Sis, we must study, Aunt Xiao Yun said, without education, a girl is doomed to farm work for life, I don’t want that.

Look at Big Aunt and Old Aunt, they both have jobs and married well."

Although talking, the sisters continued picking cotton, efficient as ever. For unreachable ones, they’d wait for parents to pick.

In truth, the sisters are truly capable. Their hands are nimble, much better than Zhao Zhixue, but Sun Yun is unsatisfied, favoring sons, ignoring the girls entirely.
