Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 346: 346 agree

”Good girl.” Just by her actions, you can tell what she’s been through before?

Just like Xinhua’s mother, she never blamed her. This girl really must have suffered in the past.

”Girl, don’t worry. Once you join our family, I’ll treat you just like my own daughter.” It’s not easy being a woman, since she was also tormented by her mother-in-law in her younger days. So, she swore that when she had a daughter-in-law, she would treat her well.

Zhao Yanping got teary-eyed hearing Mrs. Zhang’s words.

Her own mother was someone who always put her father first. She and her siblings always came after. Rarely did a female elder show such care in her words.

Her former mother-in-law was sick in the head. She just wanted to torment her daughter-in-law to show her status.

Finally meeting someone normal, and who even cares for her.

Zhang Fusheng stood to the side watching, feeling sorry for Zhao Yanping too. That family really wasn’t normal.

”Mom, you get on the kang bed and sit with Xiao Ping. I’ll make dinner.”

”Alright, you go ahead.”

This surprised Zhao Yanping. The men in her family never cooked; her older and second brothers would help with chores but never actually made a meal themselves.

Zhang Fusheng was amused by Zhao Yanping’s expression. ”Wait and try my cooking. You all just sit back and enjoy.”

”Yes, we’ll just chat, us two.”

Watching their expressions and actions, Zhao Yanping realized such things happened often. They were all so normal.

This was something Zhang Fusheng did regularly; she recalled him saying that as long as he was at home, the chores were his responsibility.

Mrs. Zhang got on the kang bed, saw a recently finished shoe sole beside her, and held it in her hand. This girl’s handiwork was really good.

When Zhang Xinhua returned, he greeted Zhao Yanping happily. This made Zhao Yanping even more secure.

Actually, she didn’t dare ask, since her Hai Yan was still young. But Zhang Fusheng’s son was already in middle school; she was afraid he wouldn’t agree.

But now it seemed that wouldn’t be the case; she could feel his goodwill toward her.

After lunch, the father and son left together, one going to school and the other to the fertilizer factory.

Zhang Fusheng found his sister again.

”Cai Xia, try to find a way. The sooner we load the truck, the better. I’ve set my heart on Zhao Yanping. She’s been convinced by me, but we still need her family’s approval. So I’m anxious to go over.”

Zhang Caixia was delighted. Her older brother not settling down had always been a concern for her and their mother; thinking of that girl, she felt her brother’s choice was good this time.

”No problem, big brother, wait for me a moment. I’ll go sort it out and let you know soon.”

Even if I have to beg someone, I must help my big brother with this. It’s rare for him to want to settle down, and as his sister, I must do my best.

Zhang Caixia went straight to the deputy director in charge and explained her situation.

”Xiao Zhang, this is a bit difficult. But since you’ve asked, I’ll find a way. We’ll load the truck at midnight tonight; fewer people will see, and it’ll be easier.”

”Thank you so much, Director Wang. Really, thank you.”

Zhang Caixia felt reassured and ran out excitedly.

”Big brother, we’ll load the truck at two in the morning tonight.”

”Alright, I’ll arrange it with the transport team.”

”Great, big brother, I’ll come home for dinner tonight.” I really have to meet this future sister-in-law; I didn’t have time to talk much this morning.

”Got it.”

Since Father Zhang passed away early, the siblings shared a strong bond since childhood.

Zhang Fusheng went to the transport team and told the team leader about the situation.

”No problem, you can stay a few extra days. Come back when everything is settled. I’ll arrange things here.”

That was the most he could do, just to give his brother this convenience.

”Alright, Brother Yang, just wait for my good news.”

Zhang Fusheng didn’t go straight home but went to the supply and marketing coop instead. They had quite the convenience shopping here since they were responsible for transporting the goods.

He bought a piece of meat, some vermicelli, tofu, and dried tofu sheets.

This was a feast. Tonight, he would treat his family to something better.

When he got home and told Zhao Yanping the good news, she was over the moon; she missed her daughter.

Seeing the smile on the woman who was soon to be his, Zhang Fusheng also smiled. Whatever he could do for her in the future, he would.

”Mom, Caixia is coming home for dinner tonight.”

”Alright, that girl finally did something good this time.”

Zhao Yanping was in an exceptionally good mood all afternoon, helping Mrs. Zhang with dinner, which made Mrs. Zhang even more satisfied.

In the evening, Zhang Caixia’s family of four came over.

Her husband worked at the police station. Hearing his wife’s call to come to the in-laws’ for dinner, he knew that big brother-in-law finally had thoughts of settling down.

It truly wasn’t easy; he thought brother-in-law might stay single for life. Unexpectedly, he actually had the idea of settling down.

Could it be that the future sister-in-law had something exceptional?

From a man’s perspective, this kind of woman was suitable for settling down. This was good. Also, she was still young. Big brother-in-law had a good eye.

Zhao Yanping met the Zhang Family, and they really were incomparable to the Xiang Family.

After eating, Zhang Caixia and her family left.

Their sons walked in front, and the couple followed behind.

”What do you think of this future sister-in-law?”

”She’s alright. She should be honest and family-oriented, and she’ll definitely put big brother first.”

”That’s enough.” As a sister, of course, she didn’t want her big brother to stay single. Having someone who cares is really good.

After a simple wash-up, Zhao Yanping lay on the kang bed, feeling truly comfortable. She also had times when she could just lie down after eating.

Zhang Fusheng had just told her to go to sleep, and he’d wake her when it was time.

But how could she sleep? So she stayed chatting with the elderly lady.

At five in the morning, a truck full of fertilizer was loaded. The two of them set off directly.

Mrs. Zhang had prepared quite a bit of food for them.

Since they had made things clear, there was a lot to talk about on the road.

It was mostly Zhang Fusheng talking about himself so she would understand him better.

In fact, they both hoped it wouldn’t snow. The weather had been quite good these past few days; although the north wind was strong, there were no signs of snow.

A week later, they reached the farm, starting with Zhao Qingxiang.

Zhao Yanping also told her big brother that their second brother and everyone should come over for dinner that night.

Actually, she wanted to tell the family about Zhang Fusheng.

The second stop was the second sister’s house, where she also invited them to dinner that night.

Finally, all the fertilizer was unloaded at Li Hongxiang’s house.

Yanli had already recovered. Seeing her big sister back, she was truly happy.

Hai Yan clung to her mother and wouldn’t let go. She really missed her mom.

Yanli also held her girl, tears welling up in her eyes.

”Alright, I’ll go make dinner. Hai Yan, help mom, your big uncle, second uncle, and second aunt are all coming over tonight.”
