Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 478: 478 grow up

The weary group of people were all very grateful to Sun Yanhua.

She shook her head with a smile, said nothing, and waited for the young woman to finish eating before the two of them went home.

On the way, Sun Yanhua praised the young woman, ”Xiaotong, that’s how it should be.”

”Mom, I’ve thought about it. After the training, I will resign. I want to study medicine and become a doctor.”

”Why?”

”I suddenly feel that studying medicine would be more beneficial, no matter who it’s for.”

”Whatever decision you make, Mom will support you. But you must be a wise woman.”

The two went home. Miao Zhongshan had already heated the water. Miao Xiaotong awkwardly said something to her father before going to take a bath.

Miao Zhongshan felt particularly pained. Now he knew the young woman must have found out.

He had lived in regret for so many years. Back then, he didn’t know what got into him.

He knew what kind of person his wife was, and he knew the outcome of that other woman too.

In the end, he helped her avoid a tragedy, and now she was married with children.

But what about himself? He was always living in regret. His wife’s unforgiveness was what he couldn’t bear the most.

But now things were like this. Should he live the rest of his life in such a hollow manner?

Truly so sad and painful. Does the young woman also despise him now? She must.

At night, the couple lay on the bed. ”Yanhua, give me another chance, please? It’s been so many years, and I truly realize my mistake.”

”Okay.”

Miao Zhongshan thought he was hallucinating.

He tentatively reached out and held the hand of his wife that was outside the covers, and this time, he wasn’t rejected.

This made him ecstatic.

In fact, Sun Yanhua had thought about this matter all day. After talking to the young woman, she instead let go of the past. Yes, they had been tormented for so many years. What was there left to struggle with?

They couldn’t separate. Then they should stay together.

It was also giving herself, Miao Zhongshan, and the young woman a chance. This family can’t be broken up no matter what.

Miao Zhongshan was particularly excited; it had been eight years, and he finally had the chance to get close to his wife again.

The next day, he woke up full of energy and made breakfast for his wife and daughter.

After the morning meeting, he stayed behind.

”Boss, I want to talk to you.”

Tan Shaoting leaned back in his chair, ”What’s the matter?”

”It’s a private matter.”

”Go ahead, you’ve got fifteen minutes.”

”Boss, my daughter Xiaotong was immature, but she has figured things out now.

I’m not pleading for her; she said yesterday that she would surely persevere through this one month of training.”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Alright, I get it. My wife is more important to me than anything.”

Miao Zhongshan understood this rationale upon hearing it. It’s true, after all, the wife and kids at home are the most important.

”Boss, Xiaotong really didn’t have ill intentions. She herself said she didn’t know why she acted that way back then. She’s very regretful now.”

”Okay, I understand, but they won’t be exempt from any training.”

Miao Zhongshan nodded. He knew this, and he knew a little about how this young leader conducted himself; apologies were nothing in his eyes.

When he did things, he never considered others. Actually, standing up for his wife, that’s what a man should do, right?

Today’s talent team’s training was much better than yesterday’s. There were still complaints, but fewer. They also finished half an hour earlier than yesterday, which was an improvement.

The atmosphere at the Miao family was particularly good now. Miao Xiaotong noticed something different about her parents. It felt more real and intimate.

While Sun Yanhua went to take a bath, Miao Zhongshan had a heart-to-heart with the young woman.

”Xiaotong, Dad was wrong before, and it took eight years to win back your mom’s heart, so Xiaotong, whatever you do, you must think it through carefully.

When I think about the past now, I just feel like I was such a fool.

But fortunately, your mom is willing to give me a chance. We’re still a family.”

”Dad, you must treat my mom well in the future.”

”I will. I’ll be good to both of you.”

Miao Zhongshan thought this matter was finally resolved, and their family could live happily together.

The Zhao Family on the train, however, was not doing so well. Both elderly parents were a bit carsick and just uncomfortable.

But being rural folks, they were tough, just lacking energy, with no appetite.

”Mom, you need to eat more; otherwise, you won’t be able to hold on. We’ll be at Xiao Ping and Xiao Li’s in a week.”

”Alright, I’ll eat.”

”Xiao Yun, is Xiao Ping doing well?”

”Don’t worry, Mom, Xiao Ping is doing well. She’s really happy now. Although Zhang Fusheng is ten years older than Xiao Ping, he knows how to cherish her. And Xiao Ping’s mother-in-law seems particularly nice.”

”That’s good then. It’s not easy for a woman to leave one family and enter another; the fear is that a couple won’t be of one heart.”

”Mom, you’ll see. Xiao Ping’s luck is quite good.”

”That’s good, that’s good.” Han Lixia hadn’t dared to ask before, but she didn’t know why she did today.

Maybe she was just too bored on the train. To ask the daughter-in-law was to lessen the surprise when they met later.

”Mom, you’ll have a worry-free life from now on. All three of Xiao Ping’s sisters married into good families. Don’t worry.”

”That’s good. That’s good. Your uncle’s two daughters aren’t doing well.

I’ve been thinking, luckily, the ties were severed, or else who knows how bothersome it would have been. Fighting every other day would tire me out just watching.”

The two daughters-in-law had never met that uncle’s family and didn’t really know what to say, knowing their mother-in-law was just uncomfortable being cooped up on the train.

Having spent these days together, they understood their mother-in-law was an honest person, not one to talk excessively.

They decided to humor her, so she wouldn’t feel so bad. ”Mom, why did Dad fall out with Uncle’s family?”

”The year Qingxiang and the others left, your dad got sick. We had nothing to eat at home, so I went to your uncle’s family.

Our family’s grain was taken by them just a few days before your dad fell sick.

But when I got there, they claimed they had nothing either. Yet I could smell the scent of food.

I wasn’t going to say anything since they said they had nothing, so I just thought about other ways to get by. But I was worried and didn’t know where to turn, so I just stood there worrying at their doorstep.

I never expected that as soon as I left, their family started eating and said such nasty things, claiming your dad and I didn’t deserve to eat.

They also called us big fools and said they fooled people like us.

You two don’t know this, but when I heard that, it was the first time I got so angry. There happened to be a big rock by their door, and although I was very hungry and had no strength, somehow I picked up that rock and smashed it against their door, breaking it.

Their whole family came out to look at me. It was the first time in my life I was so tough, pointing at your uncle’s nose and cursing them for having no conscience.”
