Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 467: 467 was born

”This child will definitely be mischievous in the future.” Sun Yun really liked boys. But she only gave birth to two daughters.

That’s not okay, I must have a son. It’s just us who don’t have a son now. She always felt sorry for her husband for not having a son.

The rest of them also knew the eldest sister-in-law’s thoughts, and there was really no way to persuade her.

”Eldest sister-in-law, where are Xiao Ling and the others?”

”They’re all at your big sister’s house, we came over to take a look.”

”My eldest niece can already watch over the children now, she’s really capable.”

At this point, a smile also appeared on Sun Yun’s face. The eldest daughter was indeed sensible and could already help her with chores.

”Eldest sister-in-law, let Xiao Ling find Mr. Li to study when she has time. It’s really not okay to be uneducated. Especially for girls, they must have an education. My elder sister and I studied by ourselves, plus my brother-in-law helped us, and we only got a junior high school diploma. You must let Xiao Ling study. Perhaps she’ll have a good job in the future.”

”Okay, this year won’t work, we’ll go back to our hometown directly when we leave, and when we return, I’ll let Xiao Ling go.”

Sun Yun had seen it too. Even if it’s tiring for herself, she was willing for the children to succeed.

”Eldest sister-in-law, it’s great you can understand. Our lives are okay now. There’s no end to making money; the money you’re making now, perhaps the children can make in a day in the future.”

Sun Yun smiled and nodded. The three sisters-in-law, two were married into the city. They were more knowledgeable than she was.

Qi Xue Mei and Zhao Xiaojing were also moved when they heard it. Indeed, one must be educated.

”Let the three families together talk to Mr. Li.”

”That would be great, and at that time, let them all learn from Mr. Li. When there’s a chance, let them go to school.”

At this moment, they heard the men outside had already unloaded the cart.

Sun Yun and the others each took out ten yuan and gave it to Zhao Yanli.

”This is from Mr. Li.”

Zhao Yanli held the money, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.

She knew best how hard it was to earn this money; it was really exchanged with sweat.

Hearing the unloading outside, she knew there must be plenty of things. Even though she was married into the city, she hadn’t given her family any advantages.

Instead, it was always her family in the countryside supporting her.

Qi Xue Mei noticed the little sister-in-law’s silence, ”Okay, do you still have moments of sentimentality?”

In Sun Yun and the others’ eyes, these two sisters-in-law were both pretty good. Even if they spent money to hire people themselves, they would help their brothers.

No one was a fool; they knew the sisters-in-law’s character.

Xiao Lei, this kid, wasn’t afraid of strangers and soon fell asleep on his own, particularly well-behaved.

Now the voices of the few people in the room had lowered.

Zhao Yanping stood up, ”Xiao Li, we’re going back now. Your brother-in-law is cooking at home.”

”Okay, eldest sister-in-law, you all come over for dinner tonight, bring my nieces and nephews.”

Sun Yun smiled and nodded. ”Okay, we’ll come in the afternoon.”

After all, it was only Zhou Yongbing at home in the Zhou family now; everyone knew the young sister-in-law’s in-laws were working.

Zhao Yanli also knew her sisters-in-law and sisters were being considerate of her. It was something she couldn’t help.

A few women came out of the room. ”Xiao Bing, we’re going to your big sister’s house.”

Zhou Yongbing, how could he agree? They had come to his house; how could he let the brothers-in-law leave?

So he didn’t let them go, trying hard to keep them.

It was still Zhao Yanping who spoke up, ”Your brother-in-law is cooking at home now, we can eat what’s already made; Xiao Li has already told us. We’ll come to your house for dinner in the evening, and in the afternoon, we’ll come over to help.

By the way, the hundred pounds of pork you ordered is still at my house. We’ll bring it over in the afternoon.”

When Zhou Yongbing heard this, he also thought it was pretty good like this; at least he had time to prepare.

He directly sent them away. Only then did he go back inside to take care of his wife.

The money given by the family was just placed by the child’s pillow.

”Why give so much money?”

”They’re afraid I’m having a hard time. It’s nothing. We’ll have a chance to return it in the future.”

Zhou Yongbing nodded. ”I’ll go to the big sister’s place, tell them to come and get the pork tomorrow.”

”Is everyone coming over for dinner tonight?”

”This time, they can’t take leave; it’s the end of the year when accounts are settled.”

”Coming over for dinner in the evening doesn’t delay anything, does it?”

”It’s just we feel embarrassed; they’ve come to our Zhou family, but our sisters-in-law have to cook. My family is eating what’s ready.”

”What’s the big deal? You go and tell the big sister and them too, everyone come over for dinner tonight. Let the two families get to know each other.”

Zhou Yongbing thought about it and figured it was okay, so he decided to work more in the afternoon.

”Xiao Li, what do you want to eat?”

”Anything’s fine, we’re eating the same thing.”

Although she always said this, it was always the case that whoever in the Zhou family was cooking would make something separate for Zhao Yanli.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Yongbing looked at his wife and child sleeping, then hurried off to find his big sister since she lived the closest. Let her notify the second and third sisters; he didn’t feel at ease leaving his wife and child at home.

After notifying them and returning home, he saw his wife and child still sleeping and began preparing. It was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month already.

The meat saved at home could also all be cooked. So he took it all out to soak in water.

There were also soybeans and frozen tofu at home. They were all prepared. The rest were cabbage, radishes, and potatoes.

Although Zhou Yongbing moved very quietly, Zhao Yanli still woke up.

Finally, the couple discussed frying shredded radish balls.

Zhou Yongbing listened to his wife talk, and he took action.

”Ferment the dough again, you can also fry some doughnuts.”

Zhou Yongbing agreed to whatever his wife said.

When Zhao Yanping and the other four women came over, Zhou Yongbing had almost finished the preparations. It was just that he hadn’t cooked the meat yet because he wasn’t confident.

They were all hard workers. In no time, the four women had the meat on the stove cooking.

Sun Yun knew they were going to fry shredded radish balls, so she made more dough which could be used to fry twists, which tasted good even when cold.

The Old Zhou couple always ran home after work, and their coworkers all knew they had a grandson, so they gave them gifts.

Old Liang bumped into Mr. Zhou. The two had been good friends for many years but had become distant over the children’s affairs. Every time Old Liang saw Mr. Zhou, he would avoid him because he felt guilty.

He also knew that the Zhou family had gotten a grandson. Facing them like this today, he really felt he couldn’t go without saying something.

”Congratulations, Old Zhou.”

Mr. Zhou was someone who cared a lot about face, despite being really angry in the past. But now their little Bing had found a good wife, and they had a grandson, while Liang Lanqing’s reputation had become terrible. So, he just took it lightly now.

”Thanks. Old Liang, I’m in a hurry to go back. We’ll talk more when there’s time.”

Who had time to loiter outside? Better to go home to work and feel happy hearing the baby’s loud cries.

Old Liang forced a smile. ”Go be busy, Xiao Bing went out with the vehicle?”
