Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 895: Chapter 895: New Year’s Celebration

The Capital also has a strong festive atmosphere. Wei Guangxiang and Zhan Yunzhao are celebrating the New Year at Zeng Hongling’s house.

"I wonder how Xiao Su is doing outside? I guess she went out for the New Year because others are staying at home."

Actually, with so many places to stay, it’s pretty good for her to stay in the Capital as well. There’s really no need to go outside.

"No choice, Yuanyuan’s personality is quiet, during the New Year, she probably wants to find a place where no one will disturb her." Zeng Hongling, who spends the most time with Su Yuanyuan, understands her the best.

"She should be back by the fifth, right?" Wei Guangxiang asked.

"She will definitely come back, she has a job to return to. She should be working by the sixth. Probably no one will schedule her for duty." Zeng Yixin replied.

They have prepared quite a feast for the New Year. Although they used to enjoy northern food, after spending a long time there, they began to miss southern cuisine. So their New Year dishes are all cooked in the southern style.

Because another couple came over from their hometown, Zeng Hongling had almost nothing to do except mainly watching the kids.

In the Li Family’s house in the Capital, only the three of them celebrated the New Year. Li Hongxiang prepared plenty of food, in addition to what Su Yuanyuan sent over, so there was still a lot of abundance.

"Sister Yuan Yuan’s benefits are really quite good; there are some items I don’t even know what they are or how to cook them." Li Liyun sighed helplessly.

"Just wait until Sister Yuan Yuan comes back to ask her, right?" Li Shaoguang remarked indifferently.

"True, Sister Yuan Yuan will certainly return. Let’s just wait for her then."

Li Hongxiang had no objections, anyway worked for him. Now that the children were taken care of, and knowing that his son and daughter-in-law were still alive, he could rest in peace even in death.

Since Xiao Su was taking care of things here, there was nothing much to worry about, making this year’s New Year feel quite relaxing for him.

At the Yang Family’s house in the village, Yang Chunsheng and his wife had come back for several days. They hadn’t seen their son for so long, and the change was truly significant.

Cai Jianya was holding her son tightly, not letting go, which is understandable; after all, they’re young parents, and having just given birth a short time ago, the child was brought home by the grandparents. How could they not miss him?

Hu Chunhua was truly pleased watching her daughter-in-law. "Zong Wei is really obedient, drinking the family’s goat milk without fuss. Feed him and see, he drinks it so sweetly."

"Mom, thank you."

"Thanking me as soon as you come back? I’m the child’s grandmother, no need for thanks."

Once our Zong Wei is older, he can go to school.

By the way, Xiao Ya, you two should hurry and have kids. If the children aren’t with you, I can raise them for you."

"Mom, just taking care of Zong Wei makes you this exhausted. I was thinking we could just have Zong Wei."

"Silly girl, what are you thinking? Don’t you know that having more children brings more blessings? In the future, if it’s just Zong Wei taking care of you two, wouldn’t that be too tiring? Plus, having a daughter means you’d have someone to share your thoughts with, and someone to visit you when you’re old."

"Mom, but with both of us so busy with work, the kids would have to be raised back home."

"So what? You earn money for the household, and I’ll take care of the children. Once they grow up and go to school, siblings will be there to support each other.

Let me tell you, I had three kids and it felt too few. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to have more back then, but there were too many people in the family and not enough to eat. I could never manage to have more."

Cai Jianya was swayed by her mother-in-law’s words. Indeed, having a little girl would be wonderful. So she decided not to use birth control anymore.

There were many chores at home, and with Cai Jianya back, the two ladies handled them quickly together.

Hu Chunhua approved of her youngest daughter-in-law, unlike the lazy eldest daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Ya, have you seen Yuanyuan? It’s been years since I last saw her, and I wonder how her three children are? They must be very beautiful by now?"

Cai Jianya felt a bit nervous. "Mom, I haven’t seen Yuanyuan either, but she sends over a lot of things through people."

"That girl, I really miss her."

On this matter, Cai Jianya didn’t dare engage with her mother-in-law. Saying the wrong thing can be troublesome, so she hastened to change the subject.

"Mom, Big Sister-in-law’s child Shubao seems really clever to me."

"Not bad, I teach him everything, and he learns quickly. I’m planning to send him to school; it’s not too far, and your dad and I can still earn money. There’s no problem supporting my grandson’s education."

Hu Chunhua wouldn’t hide or lie about money issues. Even if the daughter-in-law had any doubts, she’s got no choice but to accept she judged wrongly.

"He should go to school. Chunsheng reads every day. There are several junior high graduates in his workshop."

"Yes, it’s necessary to study. Back then, your dad and I were incapable and couldn’t let Chunsheng and the others attend school, delaying them. So the kids must be educated and sent to school."

Cai Jianya wanted to ask why her sister-in-law hadn’t had more children, but she held back. She only came home once or twice a year, and knew better not to ask what she shouldn’t.

Zhang Chunsheng, upon returning home, spent his days out with childhood friends. Today, he ran into Su Liangliang.

Seeing Su Liangliang’s gloomy expression, Zhang Chunsheng remained silent. They hadn’t gotten along as kids anyway.

"Oh, isn’t this the Capital’s big worker? Why so silent upon seeing old acquaintances?"

Zhang Chunsheng chose to ignore Su Liangliang’s sarcastic remarks. It was getting late, and his son should be waking up soon.

"Zhang Chunsheng, showing off your new skills by ignoring people now?"

Having been outside for years, he’s seen plenty of people like Su Liangliang, so he continued to ignore him.

Watching Zhang Chunsheng walk away without turning back, Su Liangliang was furious.

Already in his twenties, he still hadn’t found a wife.

He truly wanted a better life. He worked earnestly, hoping to find a beautiful wife and live well. With a house now and some money, he planned to find a matchmaker during the off-season to arrange a marriage. But who’d have thought things would turn out like this?

Regarding Su Daqiang’s murder, Su Liangliang felt no sorrow; instead, he felt a sense of relief. When his mother left, he did feel a bit uncomfortable.

Everything had been meticulously prepared for him—the house, the money—it was all saved up bit by bit by him and his mother. Unlike Su Daqiang, who would rather give money to another woman than to him.

But now, it all belonged to him. He didn’t expect there to be several hundred. However, when he had no money to build a house, Su Daqiang didn’t contribute a cent. People like that deserved their fate.
