Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

”Hmm, I really didn’t think of this point. Honestly, such a good opportunity is just gone like that.

But, that Jiang Xinyu isn’t a good person either. This really benefits her, only costing five hundred bucks to settle.”

”Tch, if it were you, you wouldn’t even spend fifty.”

”Zhao Lizheng, what do you mean? Are you quite taken with her? Is it because she’s young? Pretty?”

”Zhang Shuping, stop shouting. Aren’t you embarrassed? I’m just discussing the matter as it is; it’s all because of your own missteps.”

Zhao Lizheng really was angry. He hadn’t been like this before, but this woman when jealous really shows a nasty face. If the relationship were handled well, they wouldn’t suffer any losses in the future.

”Zhao Lizheng, are you upset with me?” Zhang Shuping also felt very aggrieved, asking with a quivering voice.

Zhao Lizheng sighed, ”We are married. I’m trying to tell you how to handle things. To be honest, it’s already like this. Just being regular classmates is also not bad. In the future, if there’s really a chance to go over there, you’ll at least have a classmate. Fortune changes; you never know when you might need someone. So don’t bother; if you don’t look up to her, just stay distant, but keep things amicable.”

Zhang Shuping said nothing anymore. Her husband was right. Whatever, since it’s already like this, they will meet often, so just keep up appearances.

Jiang Xinyu actually felt much more at ease internally. She had already thought over these issues and had settled on a strategy. Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay. If things always go this way, she wouldn’t have any objections, but what’s with this Zhang Shuping?

It’s quite alright like this, settling it with five hundred bucks directly is a good thing too. She doesn’t have to keep bearing the burden of this matter.

Wei Kaiyun was clinging to Jiang Xinyu, ”Wife, are you zoning out at this moment because I’m not working hard enough?”

”Go away, I’m tired.”

”Even if you’re tired, it’s okay. You don’t have to go to school tomorrow either.”

The next day, Jiang Xinyu really got up late. Shi Jing always looked for her every morning, but this time he was stopped by Wei Kaiyun.

”Xiao Wei, your wife is quite formidable, huh?” Shang Zhenkun said with a smile.

”Yeah, she’s just young and can’t stand the attitude, but this kind of situation is pretty good.”

”It’s not bad. I usually watch, she’s quite good.”

This afternoon Jiang Xinyu went to the post office to call Qian Jun.

”How are you doing now?” Qian Jun dropped the pen in his hand and leaned back for a rest.

”Not bad, just the usual. Has Mr. Qian given any instructions?”

”No, just waiting for you to graduate and come back to contribute to our textile factory.”

”Yes, I can definitely graduate smoothly.”

Qian Jun still couldn’t hold back and asked, ”How is the child?”

”Not bad, she’s quite healthy.” Jiang Xinyu wasn’t willing to discuss this topic.

”What’s the follow-up on that murder incident, according to Mr. Qian?”

”There’s no follow-up. Both of them died. What follow-up could there be? But your fellow villager, his son-in-law, is now the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee.”

”Deputy Director? That’s quite a quick promotion, huh?”

”Yeah, I ran into him at the meeting last time, and he came over to ask me to look after Kong Mengjie.”

Jiang Xinyu paused, thinking this heroine lost her stepping stone Wei Kaiyun, and now she has her brother?

”Why aren’t you speaking?”

”Just a bit surprised.”

”There’s even more surprising news. He’s actually asking about you, indicating he’s waiting for you to return.”

This disgusted Jiang Xinyu. ”I’m not familiar with him at all.”

Qian Jun didn’t mention it, but Kong Demin meant he’d wait for Jiang Xinyu to return with the intention of marrying her.

His words also repulsed Qian Jun, so he ignored Kong Demin. But things probably won’t be much good for him since the Revolutionary Committee’s director seems to hold a strong disdain for Kong Demin.

The director seems to be deeply rooted, while Kong Demin is of humble origin, and if he remains honest, it won’t pose a major obstacle. If he tries any tricks, things probably won’t go well.

”Mr. Qian, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

”Hmm, wishing you a Happy New Year in advance.”

”Thanks, wishing you a Happy New Year too.”

Wei Kaiyun and their son were waiting for Jiang Xinyu on the side. When they saw her face didn’t look good,

”What happened?”

”We’ll discuss it at home.”

After the three of them went home, Shi Jing ran off to find Master Shang, leaving just the three of them at home.

”What happened?”

”I was disgusted. Qian Jun told me he bumped into Kong Demin, and he actually said he’s waiting for me? So disgusting.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll arrange this when I go back.”

”Hmm, my initial good mood just vanished upon hearing this news.”

”Alright, don’t think about it; it’s not a big deal.”

On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, they made dumplings and celebrated a joyous new year.

When the two finished at night, ”Wife, it’s better if you feed the daughter milk powder in the future. Watching you squeeze is too hard.”

”Hmm, when school starts, I’ll give her milk powder. She’ll be five months by then, and milk powder will be fine.”

”Wife, I really can’t bear it, what should I do? I don’t want to leave.”

Jiang Xinyu hugged Wei Kaiyun, ”I can’t bear it either. How about you resign?”

Wei Kaiyun smiled wryly, ”I wouldn’t mind you supporting me, but I can’t resign. The person above is also in difficulty. I resign now?”

”Yeah, one’s hands are tied.”

”My situation is different from that of ordinary people. That person above can be said to have raised me. So I can’t leave.”

”Two years will pass quickly, after all, it won’t take two years. Just wait for us.”

”Hmm, I’ll wait for you.”

”You better behave, don’t wait for us three to return, only to have no place for us.” Jiang Xinyu didn’t want to continue this topic and jokingly changed the subject.

”Absolutely not. I’m afraid you three won’t want me.”

Both cherished this current opportunity and wanted to make sure each remembered them.

Quickly, it was New Year’s Eve. The home was still very lively, with six people altogether celebrating, making for a nice atmosphere.

Shi Jing loved New Year because he liked setting off firecrackers. This was the first time Jiang Xinyu lost her temper.

”Wei Kaiyun, are you out of your mind? Firecrackers are dangerous! Shi Jing is very young; if you let him play, and he really gets hurt, what will you do?”

Wei Kaiyun nodded repeatedly, immediately admitting his mistake, ”Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never do it again.”

He really hadn’t thought of this point, only feeling it’s the time for firecrackers, so he bought them for his son.

Jiang Xinyu gave him a stern glance, then held Jiang Shijing’s hand. The little guy was witnessing his mom’s serious side for the first time.

”Shi Jing, these firecrackers are extremely dangerous. Tomorrow take you to the hospital to find out; you’ll hear there are many children injured, maybe it’s their hands, most scary is the eyes. If the eyes get hurt, you won’t see anything again.”
