Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 270: 270 Discussion

”Yuanyuan, but how are you going to get to the Xiang Family?”

”It’s up to big sister to decide. If she still wants to go back, then just give Xiang Zhiqiang a beating. If she doesn’t want to return, it’s different; the suffering she’s endured in that house these past two years should be repaid by them.”

”Will they give it?”

”If they won’t give it, there are ways. Alright, you go make dinner, there’s also noodles, you cook, I’ll go take a bath, and then we’ll go over together.”

Yanli was absolutely obedient, cut a handful of chives from the courtyard, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

Su Yuanyuan went into the bathroom to bathe, and then washed her clothes too. Only then did she come out.

By this time, the noodles were cooked too, and they each had a big bowl.

After eating, they locked the door and headed to Zhao Qingxiang. The cart couldn’t move at all; the road was still too muddy.

On the way, Qu Xiaoli mentioned that all the siblings were at the elder brother’s house.

When the two of them arrived, the discussion had already decided who would go to the Zhao Family.

Seeing Su Yuanyuan come in, all the Zhao Family siblings breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes, Su Yuanyuan was a capable person; with her around, they felt secure.

”Have you two eaten? There are still some pancakes left in the pot.”

Both shook their heads, ”We’ve eaten. Let’s go, second sister-in-law’s belly is too big.”

Your second sister-in-law stayed to look after Xiao Ping and the two children.

”Actually, that’s for the best. Big sister, aren’t you going?”

”I am going.”

Su Yuanyuan laughed, earlier Zhao Yanli always said that Zhao Yanping was always crying, which was now understood.

This way, there were only two small children and Qi Xue Mei left at home.

Zhao Yanli simply left the food and meat in her basket at home, carried the basket on her back, and of course, the hoe handle was still inside.

Zhao Xiaojing saw it and asked Xu Hongbing to take the small hoe handle from big brother’s house and put it into the basket too.

Men fighting would be difficult to say, but for women, it was different. A sister taking revenge for her sister could be justified wherever they went.

Today, they were in luck, meeting quite a few older children along the way.

Su Yuanyuan directly told them they were going to the Xiang Family for a fight.

This news spread very quickly. Today was a rare break, and there was excitement to be had, so those who heard the news all went to the Xiang Family.

Sun Yun even passed by Team Leader Tian’s house and mentioned the situation.

”You go ahead, I’ll call Accountant Zhang and Director Feng.”

Back then, this match was arranged by Accountant Zhang; now that there’s big trouble, of course, Accountant Zhang had to come over. After all, the Xiang Family had said she was very beautiful.

Otherwise, why would Zhao Yanping, such a girl, end up with the Xiang Family when several families wanted to marry her?

Su Yuanyuan thought Team Leader Tian was indeed a smart person. If they made a scene, someone would have to step in to resolve it.

Since Zhao Yanping left with the child and Xiang Zhiqiang got beaten by his little sister-in-law, the Xiang Family had fallen silent,

The Xiang Family was tough only within their own circle, especially Mrs. Xiang, who was one to bully the soft and fear the strong.

Earlier, Zhao Yanli’s display really frightened that old woman.

Xiang Zhiqiang was also a bit scared. Essentially, like the Zhao Family, they were not locals, but the Zhao Family had more people.

If a fight really broke out, the Zhao Family’s relatives wouldn’t stand idly by.

He now regretted listening to his parents, not treating Zhao Yanping better.

In fact, his wife was quite good, gentle, never talked much, and was very capable in work.

The most crucial point was she listened to him. This gave him a great sense of satisfaction, a kind of vanity that the family couldn’t provide.

But his mom always said not to take Zhao Yanping too seriously, or she’d end up on top of him, though he didn’t believe his wife would do such a thing.

However, he couldn’t resist his mother’s constant words. So gradually, he stopped caring about her.

After just giving birth to Daya, he also felt bad and wanted her to rest a few days, but it was during spring planting, and his mom always said she started working after giving birth to him.

So even when he saw his wife’s face drained of color, he coaxed her to work.

Especially after the child’s full month, when she still wasn’t well, he began to resent her a bit; he didn’t have the energy to think about anything else, so he became more negligent.

His wife became thinner, her health visibly declining. Moreover, the family didn’t like the child, thinking it was just a girl, destined to belong to someone else’s family in the future. He also thought this way, so he cared even less.

Seeing his wife taken by the Zhao Family, he had a premonition that this matter would not end well; however, he still didn’t dare to go to the Zhao Family, just lay at home.

Now, even the Xiang Family people didn’t dare urge him to work. He just lay on the kang, flipping back and forth thinking about this issue.

In fact, he even had the urge to run away—there were so many Zhao Family people. If beaten, it would be severe.

At noon, when the Xiang Family was eating, Xiang Zhiqiang suddenly realized the meal was not dual-course; ever since his wife entered the household, he coaxed her, and she always had the worst food.

He once ate at the Zhao Family, and their meals were really good.

This made him feel even worse. Why was his mom like this? Xiao Ping did so much work, how could she be treated like that before?

The family silently ate their meal. No one cared about him or asked how to handle the Zhao Yanping situation.

For the first time, Xiang Zhiqiang felt a sense of disgust towards his family.

After eating, he went straight back to his room, pondering what his little sister-in-law said. Could his wife really listen to her? Would she really leave him?

Impossible. It couldn’t be. Xiang Zhiqiang was very scared now; one fear was being beaten by the Zhao Family, and the other was his wife actually listening to her family, leaving him—what then?

The Xiang Family’s old woman lay on the kang, sighing.

”Quiet down for a while, don’t disturb me from sleeping.”

”Hubby, do you think the Zhao Family will come make trouble?”

”Would they dare?” Xiang Zhiqiang’s father said disdainfully. He also relied on the fact that his cousin was an accountant at the farm. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have married their eldest daughter without asking for a bride price. They wouldn’t dare, even if given the courage.

If the Zhao Family knew this was how the Xiang Family thought, they’d be furious. What kind of people were they? No wonder the Xiang Family ended up this way. That was just how the head of the family was.

They didn’t even know that only the pregnant ones and small children from the Zhao Family hadn’t gone over. They weren’t people to be trifled with; otherwise, someone like Zhao Yanli wouldn’t exist.

The Xiang Family’s sisters-in-law didn’t go to the fields today either. The rain meant rest time; who wanted to work? As for the eldest sister-in-law being taken by her family, they didn’t care at all.
