Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 99: 99 quietly left

She didn’t leave the entire afternoon, and after dinner, she placed the food for both families in the courtyard. She also added several large winter melons and some pumpkins.

Both families arrived together. Su Yuanyuan checked the time; it was already nine o’clock.

”Girl, why didn’t you start the fire?” Hu Chunhua asked worriedly.

”It’s okay, Aunt. Hurry and push them home; you must dig the cellar, so no one will find it.”

Yang Minggang and Yang Hongwen both nodded. There was indeed a significant reduction in yield this year.

After seeing them off, Su Yuanyuan placed the wild boar in the west room and then entered the space. It was quite cold outside, so why suffer outside?

When she was kicked out of the space for the third time, Old Yang came over with three horse-drawn carriages.

No one said a word. Six people arrived and were in charge of loading the carriages.

Old Yang and Su Yuanyuan went into the east room. Seeing the unmade beds and other people’s luggage, he realized that the Su Family of three had been staying here.

”Girl, here’s five thousand three hundred and fifty bucks, keep it safe.”

”Uncle Yang, thank you. Listen to me, you must store more grain, and it’s best to dig a cellar for safety.”

Old Yang nodded, ”I’ve already stored quite a bit.”

An hour later, the three carriages left.

Su Yuanyuan checked the time; it was already past four in the morning. She went into the space to sleep again.

In the morning, she tidied up the traces she left behind, put the sheep into the space, locked the door, and went to Hu Chunhua’s house.

”Girl, will Su Daqiang and the others be back soon?”

”Yes. Let’s hear what he has to say. Since I promised them, I’ve taken care of everything on that side.”

”Yes, that’s good. Don’t meddle with them.

Girl, you don’t know that the whole village is saying Tian Xiaohua is the jinx now.”

”That woman is too selfish.”

Hu Chunhua nodded.

”Aunt, when I get there, I’ll learn to read and write you letters.”

”Good, I’ll wait for your letters. By the way, are you leaving today?”

”Yes, today I’m going to the train station to buy tickets and see when I can leave.”

”Girl, you’re young, you must be careful outside and don’t go with anyone.”

”I know.”

Yang Xue brought over a new pair of cotton shoes and mittens, ”Yuanyuan, I made these for you. Take them; I’ve heard it’s very cold there. Don’t let your hands and feet freeze.”

”Thank you, sister. I’ll be careful; once I get there, who knows how it will be.”

Yang Minggang brought in some fried peanuts to give Su Yuanyuan to eat on the train.

”Bringing you other things might spoil in the cold, and I’ve already asked Da Qiang and the others. There’s food sold on the train. Save these peanuts to eat on the train.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded. ”Okay, I’ll eat peanuts on the train.”

The three of them sat chatting on the heated bed until almost noon. Yang Minggang came in, ”Girl, Su Daqiang and the others are at the village chief’s house.”

Su Yuanyuan got off the bed and put on her shoes. ”Aunt, I’m leaving. You don’t have to go down.”

Hu Chunhua also put on her shoes and followed Su Yuanyuan to Yang Hongwen’s house, worried that the girl might suffer a loss.

Su Daqiang and his family looked quite miserable. After locking them in a room yesterday and releasing them this morning, they hadn’t seen the leader from yesterday. However, someone told them that they could leave.

Cold and hungry, Su Liangliang couldn’t bear it anymore, but when they arrived at the village chief’s house, no one bothered to make a meal for them.

”Oh, you’re the big shot now, everyone has to wait for you,” Su Liangliang said sarcastically.

Su Yuanyuan ignored him and looked at Su Daqiang, ”Since I promised you, the first thing I’ll do when I get there is to send the transfer proof. I’ll mail it to you first thing.”

Su Daqiang nodded and explained to Su Yuanyuan how to take the train, where to transfer, and how to find Group Leader Ma.

Su Yuanyuan nodded. ”Just wait, here is the last key for you.”

She nodded at Yang Hongwen and his wife, as well as Yang Minggang and his wife, and then turned to leave.

She went straight to the county, without visiting home. She had said goodbye already, and there was no need to meet again.

She still had fried dough sticks and tofu pudding and bought fifty more sticks. She stored them in the space where no one was around before heading to the train station.

There was no train directly to Jiangbei here, so she had to transfer in the Capital. This was fine since she could also have a look around the Capital. Anyway, there was no rush, she could take her time to explore the Capital. It seemed to be quite strict there now, so it’s better to be cautious.

She bought the train ticket for the Capital departing tonight, then waited directly in the waiting room. She didn’t want to go anywhere else. Feeling quite bored, she closed her eyes in a corner, waiting for the time to pass.

The waiting room was bustling and too noisy to sleep, so she just sat there with her eyes closed, biding her time.

In the evening, she went out to eat, and upon returning, bought a lot of sunflower seeds, which were a good way to pass the time.

”Little girl, are you taking the train?”

A middle-aged woman beside her, with two children, looked at her.

Su Yuanyuan nodded and gave each child a handful of sunflower seeds but didn’t speak.

”Little girl, where are you going?”

Su Yuanyuan stood up and left. She didn’t want to chat and could tell this woman was not easy to deal with. She didn’t want to get involved.

There was only an hour left for the train to arrive. She went with the crowd to the platform and waited by the side. It was really cold here, with a strong wind.

But an hour or so could be endured.

Finally, she got on the train at nine in the evening. As expected, there was no seat available, so Su Yuanyuan went to the dining car. It was crowded, but she still managed to find a seat.

It would be early morning the day after tomorrow before arriving in the Capital. The short time to get through.

The next day, when it was time for meals, in the morning she had steamed buns and dumpling soup, even though the flour mix was sweet potato and wheat. It still tasted alright; the green onion sautéed brought out a good aroma.

After eating her fill, she gave up her spot and planned to return after the mealtime had passed.

She continued like this until three-thirty in the morning when she finally got off the train in the Capital.

After all, it was the Capital; despite the time, there were indeed a lot of people at the train station.

To avoid trouble, Su Yuanyuan found a seat in the waiting hall and took a nap.

Waiting until daybreak, she bought a ticket for the train to Jiangbei, leaving at eight the next morning. Now she really had to spend a day in the Capital.

It was already the twenty-sixth of the twelfth month, with a strong festive atmosphere.

Su Yuanyuan wandered outside without any particular destination. Many stores were open, and she entered each in turn, buying two lunchboxes, an enamel mug, and an iron spoon in a large store, to use while eating on the train.
