Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Explanation

Zhang Fusheng also asked Xu Hongbing about Hai Jun’s situation.

"That kid just doesn’t want to study, but I know it’s really not feasible to have no education. No matter what, he has to go and study."

Zhang Fusheng knew that this brother-in-law was very smart, and with someone like him, things should be made clear, unlike with his brother-in-law.

"Qing Jie, Hong Bing, you also know that Xiao Bing and I are often out driving, and Xiao Ping and Xiao Li have to work as well.

We absolutely want the kids to go to school with us. I’ll arrange this matter when I go back this time; I think it can definitely work.

We’re one family, so I’ll speak frankly.

There are no issues with Xiao Ling and Xiao Le; both kids are willing to study, and we have no problem supervising them.

It’s just that if Hai Jun and Zhixue don’t want to study, I’m afraid they might develop bad habits."

Zhang Fusheng made his point very clear. He laid it all out upfront. Zhang Fusheng is educated, and he knows that study willingness is ultimately up to oneself. If they have to be prompted every day, for one, they don’t have the time, and for another, they’re not the parents, so whether they are too strict or too lenient, it wouldn’t be good.

"I definitely don’t mean to decline. Think about it yourselves. You both understand the two girls even better than I do, I can say they will certainly do well."

Xu Hongbing nodded, "Big brother-in-law, I understand what you mean. We should let Hai Jun try anyway, and I will instruct him clearly. If he really doesn’t want to, or if he doesn’t perform well, he can come back.

It’s indeed hard to manage children that aren’t your own; kids like Xiao Ling and Xiao Le are really rare, and I also believe they will definitely do well."

"It would be best if you understand. We will definitely supervise the kids, but it’s inherently different."

Now that everything had been discussed, Zhang Fusheng felt a bit relieved.

The whole family ate heartily, with over twenty pounds of meat, they ate more than half.

Today Zhao Qingxiang was very happy, really particularly excited, so what if they were all sons? Can’t compare to his daughters!

It really gives face. No matter how hard or exhausting, the daughters must be sent to school.

Sun Yun also noticed her husband’s happiness today. Although there were two tables, they all ate in the same room.

She heard the praise for the two daughters from her brother-in-law. Her pride was undeniable.

After returning home, the family quickly started a fire, washed, and rested.

Zhao Tian and his wife chatted with Zhang Fusheng.

"Fusheng, think of a way when you get back. Even if Zhixue and Hai Jun don’t make it, you must send Xiao Ling and Xiao Le to school.

The last time I ran into Mr. Li, he kept telling me to make sure not to delay the two kids. They’ll surely do well in the future.

Our family might indeed have a promising individual or two.

Also, don’t let them live with your two families. After selling the grain, plan to buy a house near your families.

I think you also noticed, your sister-in-law really looks down on the three girls, she’s not satisfied once the two older ones leave, and she certainly won’t agree to take care of the younger one.

I think buying a house and letting the two older ones take the younger one along would be good. The little one is good and can stay home alone during the day, and the older two can take care of her.

They shouldn’t live with either of your families. It’s not just a matter of a few days.

Relatives don’t interact in this manner, you’re their real aunt and uncle, just take care of them regularly.

Besides, every autumn, no matter how tired, it’s the two girls delivering meals, never missing once. And whenever they come, they definitely work.

Your mom and I are old, after working all day, we don’t want to do anything, and it’s always the two girls taking care of things."

Zhang Fusheng nodded. He also noticed that the two nieces were exceptionally good, even at such a young age, they weren’t scheming at all; it was clear they inherently possessed this quality.

This kind of disposition is very commendable, even raising them is a pleasure.

"Dad, Mom, rest assured, I’ll figure something out when I get back. I’ll handle the housing issue too, no problem, even if there’s no house by the time school starts, the kids can stay at my place. We’ll handle the housing matter bit by bit.

As for Little Hong, bringing her along wouldn’t be impossible. No need to let her stay home alone, she can stay with my mom."

Zhao Tian shook his head as he smoked, "That won’t work, can’t let the in-laws be overburdened."

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry, everything will be discussed when I return."

"Alright."

Today the elder couple was even more convinced, they must send the two granddaughters to school, confident that with their character, they will definitely not go wrong in the future.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. At this time, how could anyone be coming?

"Mr. Li?"

"Brother Zhao, I’m here to see Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Fusheng heard the movement outside and quickly came out.

"Mr. Li."

"Mr. Zhang, I came over to ask if you know Xiao Su’s address?"

"Mr. Li, come in and have a seat," Zhao Tian invited.

"Mr. Li, let’s discuss inside. Xiao Su’s address hasn’t changed, he even wrote to Xiao Li last year."

The three of them chatted as they moved inside the house.

"Is it still at the Capital garrison?"

"Yes, Xiao Li has been sending letters there."

"Okay, I know. I was thinking of going with you to find Xiao Li. As long as the address hasn’t changed, it’s fine."

"Mr. Li, do you have anything urgent?"

"I plan to take the kids to find Xiao Su. Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"You’re too polite, Mr. Li."

"Sorry for bothering you all, I’ll be on my way."

The father-in-law and son-in-law duo saw Li Hongxiang out.

"Yuanyuan is really capable. It seems Mr. Li doesn’t want his grandson and granddaughter living here," Zhao Tian sighed.

"Yes, when I got back I also checked the newspapers, Xiao Su really is capable," Zhang Fusheng agreed, remembering the young girl’s image.

"Well, she was a girl with a hard life."

Early the next morning, An Lixia got up to make breakfast for her son-in-law.

Zhao Tian packed two bags of sweet potatoes, two bags of potatoes, two bags of dried eggplants and beans, and two bags of cabbage.

All the vegetables were placed in the cabin, and two jars of salted duck eggs, all raw, were also packed.

Zhang Fusheng could hardly refuse, every time he visited his father-in-law’s house, he would be sent home with so many things.

Now he no longer declined, knowing it was the intention of the elders to take care.

The mother-in-law made deep-fried pancakes, more than ten in number, and also handmade noodles, oily and topped with two eggs.

"Honey, did you pack the vermicelli noodles?"

"No, I forgot, I’ll pack them now."

"Dad, please pack less. The accountant from the station still needs to ride with me."

"There’s enough space, it’s alright."
