Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 997: 997 Departure

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "That’s right, we’re under the same sky now."

Now the mirror began to blur, mainly because Gu Ersheng also felt extremely tired, and besides, they would be meeting soon.

The father and son looked at the blurry mirror and started to get anxious, but they knew this was a normal phenomenon.

When it became completely invisible, the three children simultaneously surrounded Tan Shaoting, and the four of them looked like abandoned little pitiful ones.

Gu Ersheng said, "I need to rest. You all decide for yourselves from now on." After speaking, he entered Qi Wen’s Sea of Consciousness.

It was still night, but it didn’t affect them. So, Tan Shaoting immediately started digging in the ground beneath them. This was much simpler.

"Dad, we only have the cultivation of Qi Refining First Layer now," Qi Hong exclaimed.

Tan Shaoting had noticed this long ago. He was at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment but now had the cultivation of Qi Cultivation Fifth Level.

"This is the suppression here, don’t worry about it. I’m now at Qi Cultivation Fifth Level. It’s okay. It’s enough for self-protection here."

Qi Yan looked at the bundle in dad’s hand, knowing it contained things mom had buried here.

Tan Shaoting took out a grease-wrapped package, wrapped in several layers of plastic. It contained clothes for the father and son, some local currency, domestic currency, and a long letter.

Su Yuanyuan had already mentioned these things earlier; she was prepared in case they couldn’t meet.

"Let’s go into the space. We need to organize things."

By dawn, the father and sons came out of the space, their long hair tied up, and they had changed into local clothes; now, they looked like a mother and three daughters.

The three children were indeed a bit unaccustomed. Luckily, Su Yuanyuan had written down how to wear these clothes, or else it would have been a joke.

The father and sons had discussed earlier and decided to act mute. So, after coming out, they started heading towards the village below.

They were really not used to the shoes here. However, their adaptability was very strong.

Unable to see the father and son anymore, Su Yuanyuan squatted down. This time she didn’t cry but laughed, truly laughed.

The children finally came back. But she started to worry again. She wasn’t the kids’ actual mom. How heartbroken would they be when they found out?

Now she felt like she had a split personality, happy the kids had returned, but sad about them finding out the truth.

Today she stayed the longest by the sea. It was already nearly four in the morning. Better hurry back.

When she turned to row the boat, only then did Wang Er and the others breathe a sigh of relief in the distance. Looking at the weather about to rain, it was better to get back quickly.

When Su Yuanyuan got on the boat, Wang Er increased the motor power and started moving.

Chengzi and Shao Hongming, waiting on the shore, were very anxious. By this time, she should have long returned.

They relaxed a little when they saw light from afar, but they wouldn’t be at ease until they saw the person.

The two watched the light getting closer. Only when they finally saw Su Yuanyuan did they feel relieved.

"Sister-in-law."

"Su Yuanyuan."

"Okay, let’s head back. Shao Hongming, I won’t return to the sanatorium, are you coming with us or how?"

Shao Hongming smiled, "I’ll go with you, I’ve already talked to my father."

"Then let’s set off."

As they walked towards the village, Feng Shanshan ran over, carrying a cloth bag.

"Su Yuanyuan, I just steamed some bean buns, take them to eat on the road. Here are cucumbers and tomatoes, I’ve washed them clean."

"Thank you. I’ll be waiting for you in the Capital."

Feng Shanshan nodded excitedly, "Sure, I’ll definitely come and find you."

Chengzi took the food from her, and the three of them returned to the village chief’s house.

After paying the rental fee for the boat and Wang Er’s wages to the village chief, two cars left.

Chengzi looked at Sister-in-law through the rearview mirror, feeling that she was in a very good mood this time. This was really unusual, but he didn’t dare to ask.

There was very little rest on the road, and Shao Hongming alternated driving with the guards, so after three days, they reached the Capital.

"Su Yuanyuan, I’ll go freshen up and meet the leaders tomorrow."

"Alright, I need to get back too."

There are still many things to arrange. Although she believed in Tan Shaoting’s ability, some arrangements and support were necessary.

Upon returning to the residence, the life secretary quickly arranged a bath.

Lying in the quilt, Su Yuanyuan dreamed for the first time, dreaming of the three children, all reunited after their return.

Upon waking up, she smiled. Truly, what one thinks about during the day, they dream about at night.

She returned safely, and Xu Guozhi and the others knew it yesterday. Today they were having lunch together.

"Xiao Su, didn’t you feel any oppression this time on your return?" Lu Chengmin asked with a smile.

Su Yuanyuan nodded, not saying much; over-explaining wasn’t good.

"Minister Lu, the spies from Japan are all in my hands, I’m thinking of finding something for them to do."

The letter had already informed Tan Shaoting of two people. If there’s trouble upon return, they were to find those two.

"Over there, they are already overwhelmed."

"Not enough. This time I met several old commanders at the sanatorium. They were very excited indeed."

"Do they know it’s your doing?"

"Yes, I told them."

Xu Guozhi sighed, "If this gets out, even without evidence, they’ll come for revenge in the future."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I’ve thought about it. I’m really not afraid. It’ll help uncover deeper individuals."

"Xiao Su, if you were a man, you might be even more combative."

Su Yuanyuan smiled. "It’s not about being combative or not. This is just my nature.

Didn’t the old philosopher say it’s hard to raise women and petty men? I happen to be both."

"Haha, those who’ve offended you know. Even if you risk self-harm, you’ll inflict a heavier blow on the enemy."

In the afternoon, Qian Zhifeng gave a work report. He’s the chief secretary now, responsible for both external relations and finances.

Everyone was really envious of him. Originally a third secretary, he jumped three levels.

Su Yuanyuan appreciated his calm demeanor. As a third secretary, he was responsible for Su Yuanyuan’s personal matters without wavering.

Su Yuanyuan multitasked, reading documents and listening to his report.

She occasionally asked questions. Qian Zhifeng was used to such leadership. He had never seen anyone as smart; he believed if given another task, she could also handle it well.
