Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 969: 969 Resolution

Yang Zhiqiang dragged his son back home. The two lay on the kang, and now the quilt was no longer warm.

"Shubao, you can see it too, your grandmother’s family is not dependable. They don’t even care about your mom, so how would they care about you? Your grandma always said they were harming you. Do you understand now?"

"Yeah, I understand. Dad, I’ll go to work with you tomorrow."

"Yeah, let’s live well, just the two of us. When your grandma’s anger subsides, we’ll go kowtow to her. In the future, you have to live well. Actually, working in an office is pretty good. You see, people just walk around or do some counting, and they make a lot more money than I do."

"Dad, I know, I’ll go to work with you. When school starts, I’ll study hard."

Yang Zhiqiang touched his son’s hand. The child has grown up and should never end up like him.

Hopefully, it’s not just a momentary impulse, it’s something that needs perseverance.

Hu Chunhua lay at home, her head buzzing. She couldn’t deny her own responsibility for her son’s condition. Her son was angry and wouldn’t come to her. So, she remained silent even after hearing things.

Cai Jianya sat nearby, worrying about her mother-in-law. She also felt bad inside but didn’t know how to console her.

Looking at her son sleeping peacefully beside her, the little guy would even laugh in his dreams. What joyful dream could he be having? Her mother-in-law really takes good care of her son. He can now recite many quotations, write his own name, and do simple arithmetic.

Cai Jianya thought, how nice it would be if her mother-in-law could come and help her with the child.

But there was no one to take care of her father-in-law, and she couldn’t bear to leave her son.

"Xiao Ya, do you think I was wrong? If I knew that woman was wrong and told your older brother, would things be the same now? At this age, with another son, what will the future be like? Second marriages can’t compare to first ones, and I’m afraid Shubao will be mistreated."

Cai Jianya was truly in a difficult situation. How should she comfort her mother-in-law? "Mom, I don’t know either."

Hu Chunhua sighed lying on the kang. "There’s really nothing we can do now. Things are already like this."

Only when Yang Minggang and his son returned did Hu Chunhua sit up.

Yang Minggang looked at his wife, "The Zhou Family came, but they ignored me. However, my older brother helped draft the document, and the two of them no longer have any ties, and Shubao is no longer related to them either."

Hu Chunhua sighed and nodded, "Alright, this way there won’t be any trouble in the future. Now it’s fine, when Zhiqiang wants to find someone again, will Shubao have a good chance?"

"Don’t worry, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. If it doesn’t work out, Shubao can stay with us, the same thing. It’s a big holiday, don’t get upset."

"I know, Chunsheng, you and Xiao Ya go to bed. Zong Wei is asleep, don’t take him away."

Hu Chunhua couldn’t bear for her grandson to leave. She raised him herself, but she also knew that which mother wouldn’t want her child with her? Ultimately, children should be with their parents.

Yang Minggang also lay down. "There’s nothing wrong with that. You’re just worried about Shubao. If it doesn’t work out, he can stay with us."

"Alright, let’s see. If he’s still like his grandmother’s family, then forget it."

"You’re just stubborn."

Yang Chunsheng and his wife also lay down. "Chunsheng, mom really taught Zong Wei well. If only dad and mom could come over, that would be great."

"If dad and mom want to come, we can ask Secretary Bai to find a job for dad."

"It’s hard to find a job."

"It’s tough for others, but arranging a job for dad shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that dad and mom might not want to come over. They’ve spent most of their lives here and surely wouldn’t want to leave."

"Yeah, but I can’t bear to leave Zong Wei. My grandparents can’t teach him."

"Send him to a kindergarten, it’s just a matter of spending some more money."

"Yes, but I’ll still feel more at ease if mom is watching over him."

"Sigh, mom probably won’t leave. With big brother like this and Shubao too, there’s no way she could feel at ease either."

The next day, Yang Zhiqiang and his son went to work again. Shubao was better today than yesterday; he knew to help his dad without having to be told by Yang Zhiqiang.

After the family upheaval, Shubao also learned to feel sorry for his dad.

At noon, everyone sat together to eat. The food in the canteen wasn’t good, but it was no worse than the food in the countryside.

"The house on our street is moving. It’s really a nice house, but I don’t have that much money. Just eating every day is already hard for me. If I had the money, I’d definitely buy it."

"Whose life isn’t like this? Your family is close to the elementary and middle schools, it’s convenient for the kids to go to school."

"Yeah, but the asking price is quite high, they want four hundred and thirty, and someone offered four hundred and twenty, but they didn’t sell it. I’m really envious; their house is way better than mine."

Yang Zhiqiang had been working for a while and was quite familiar with everyone. When he heard that it was close to the school, he became very interested.

Each day, he had to bike for an hour to get to work. It would be more convenient if he lived there and Shubao could attend school.

"Old Wu, is the house really that nice?"

"Isn’t it? Zhiqiang, do you want to buy? I’m telling you, you’ll definitely profit from buying it. I just don’t have the money. If I did, I’d definitely keep it."

"I’m thinking about buying a house, but four hundred and thirty is too expensive."

"Expensive? They didn’t sell it for ten less? It has side rooms, a woodshed, and a toilet. The yard is laid out beautifully."

"Old Wu, I’ll go with you to check it out after work."

"Sure, I’m telling you, where I live is the center of the county, not far from the train station. It’s close to the supply and marketing cooperative and the grain store. You’ll love it at first sight."

Yang Zhiqiang nodded, now he understood. This money came easily, and if he couldn’t get it back, so be it. Now, it could be used to buy a house.

Shubao was also happy to hear that his dad wanted to buy a house. Even at such a young age, he understood that living in the city was better.

In the evening after work, Yang Zhiqiang took his son with him to follow Old Wu home, and it was indeed a good place with broad roads.

"Zhiqiang, this is my house. Have dinner at my place today."

Yang Zhiqiang quickly shook his head, "Old Wu, no thanks, I’d better hurry and check out the house. If it’s suitable, I’ll buy it." Knowing that Old Wu’s household was struggling with seven people relying on him for income.

"Alright, the Li Family hasn’t moved out yet, I’ll take you to have a look."

He had just seen the courtyard wall and gate of Old Wu’s house, now looking at the others’, it’s indeed better than Old Wu’s.

The person who opened the door was about the same age as Old Wu.

"Brother Li, this is my colleague. He wants to look at your house."

"Okay, Old Wu, done with work? Come on in."

The father and son pushed their bicycles and followed into the courtyard. Although it wasn’t completely dark yet, the layout of the courtyard could still be seen.

It was quite nice; even the woodshed was made of blue bricks.
