Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

”Okay, getting married early is also good. If the two of them truly love each other, they’ll be happy.

Luckily, they were sent back to their hometown. Something happened at Liang Caifeng’s place. She came to find me, but I didn’t meet her, so she went to find Honglin.”

Li Yungui had nothing to say about the former sister-in-law; they only talked when they met in the past, and from now on, there would be no connection, making him even less concerned.

So he didn’t respond and instead started talking about something else.

Li Yunqiao was about to start work soon, and so the two left the study.

The Red Army was in the living room playing with his nephew with his elder brother and sister-in-law.

”Let’s go, we’re off to work.”

The Red Army stood up as well, ”Dad, I’m heading back too.”

”Mm, do your best, Dad supports you.”

The Red Army showed a satisfied smile. Nothing makes him happier than having the family’s support for his ambitions.

Lu Fengzhen hadn’t been sleeping either; she heard what was said outside and came out of the room.

Li Yunqiao instinctively supported her, which made Honglin and the Red Army feel a bit bitter inside.

They had never seen their father treat their mom this way. The father clearly favored the stepmother, as shown in every little detail.

”Why aren’t you sleeping?”

”I’m not sleepy yet today. You all should go to work, Zhibin should sleep soon.”

Zheng Lihong had no complaints; this stepmother was even better than the last one. She couldn’t act like her husband, but isn’t it pointless to be upset?

It’s the father’s life, and she wants to get along well with the stepmother; otherwise, she could move out anytime.

”Aunt Lu, I’ll carry Zhibin inside.”

”Sure, come into my room, we’ll sleep together.”

The Red Army was a bit down, but Li Yungui didn’t pay attention. For a man, overthinking all day doesn’t do any good.

The two faced the scorching sun, Li Yungui lay down on the hay mat in the back of the truck and soon fell asleep.

Upon reaching the village, seeing his nephew’s resentful gaze, he glared at him, ”Spineless! What kind of problem is that? Your dad raised you all; shouldn’t you be happy he’s found his happiness at this age?”

”But, he’s too good to my stepmother.”

”Shouldn’t he be? She’s carrying his child, it’s only right to treat her well.”

”But he never treated my mom like that.”

”How did your mom treat your dad?”

The Red Army fell silent.

”Red Army, relationships are mutual, you know? When your Brother Chaoyang left, Master Wei gave him a thousand yuan to keep.

That truly acknowledges your Brother Chaoyang.

You know why that is?”

”I know, because my Brother Chaoyang treats Master Wei like he does you.”

”See, you understand?”

The Red Army remained downcast, but he realized he was overthinking.

After getting home, the house was locked.

”Uncle, I’m heading to the fields.”

”Okay, I’m going there too.”

Li Cunshan saw Li Yungui back and hurried over, ”Yungui, how is it?”

”Very smooth, the bank still wants, and the supply and marketing cooperative also wants, but the quantity isn’t large; I think if it’s less than a hundred, it’s not worth going.”

”A hundred?”

”Yes. Today’s sixty wasn’t enough to distribute.”

Newly happy Li Cunshan, ”Go again tomorrow, just bring a hundred and that’s it.”

”Tomorrow won’t work; let’s wait a few days.”

Li Cunshan was anxious; feeding so many chickens is nearly three hundred pounds of feed a day, relying solely on selling eggs really isn’t enough.

”Brother Cunshan, during the New Year, that’s the best time to sell.”

”But Xiao Jiang mentioned that after three pounds, roosters grow slowly; we’ve been collecting chicks, anything over three pounds should be sold quickly.”

”Alright, then the day after tomorrow.”

As long as Li Yungui goes out, Li Cunshan is satisfied.

Guodong and Li Xue were paired together to weed; Guodong told Li Xue to work slowly, while he did more.

The village women teased their little couple for quite a while.

They’re indeed the envy of others, mainly envious of Li Xue; the girls like to look pretty, after all.

Guodong is good-looking, which naturally appeals to the girls.

Tao Yanzhen doesn’t pay them any mind; she is very self-disciplined, and having come to terms with herself, sees no reason to pay attention to them.

So there was a situation where she and her cousin Wang Menglin focused on working with their heads down.

They didn’t engage with the surrounding villagers.

Tao Chunhe watched his sisters act like this, feeling quite helpless.

Xiao Zhen isn’t usually like this; what’s the matter now?

With so many people around, it wasn’t suitable to ask, so he waited until they got home.

After finishing the farm work, everything assigned was completed.

The educated youth have grown accustomed to this lifestyle.

”Mr. Tao, it’s my birthday today. Are you all coming to the educated youth point for dinner?” Pan Xiaoying stopped the three brothers and sisters.

Usually, Xiao Zhen would handle this kind of thing. But today, Tao Yanzhen is in a bad mood; yet from habit, she forced a smile, ”Happy birthday, Pan. Sorry, but our relationship isn’t at the gift-giving stage.

And celebrating birthdays doesn’t quite suit the three of us; mainly, you can’t have juniors like us.

As for celebrating among friends, that’s even less fitting. We’re just ordinary acquaintances.”

After speaking, Tao Yanzhen maintained a smiling face toward Pan Xiaoying.

Pan Xiaoying was thoroughly embarrassed and ran off without a word.

The three siblings went home.

”Xiao Zhen, what happened?” The younger sister never embarrassed someone like this before. Surely it was something.

”Nothing, just got annoyed with her. She’s fond of you and wants to be my sis-in-law. I can’t bear a single word from this kind of person; such intelligence isn’t acceptable.”

After her sister said this, Tao Chunhe did not question further.

That evening, the siblings had rice porridge, salted red vegetable stir-fried with eggs, and spicy shredded potatoes.

Later that night, the two sisters lay on the heated bed.

”Xiao Zhen, you deserve better.”

Tao Yanzhen nearly cried at her cousin’s words, having endured so much is truly painful.

”Xiao Zhen, my grandma told me about my mom, saying it was her unrequited love that led to this situation.”

Of course, Tao Yanzhen understood. But she had to adapt now.

After speaking, Wang Menglin didn’t continue. Xiao Zhen is smarter than herself. What could she not understand?

People get lost in their circumstances. Xiao Zhen is just misguided by appearances now. It’s nothing serious.

Lv Guodong seems nice, but he’s not an option, so she cherished her heart, hoping her cousin would also guard hers.
