Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 786: 786 opinions

The fifth son’s wife dared not say anything, though she was also dissatisfied. She felt the parents-in-law must have given the sixth son’s wife more money and things.

But since Yang Wulang had a hot temper, if he heard something he didn’t like, he’d definitely resort to violence. It wasn’t worth causing trouble, so she chose to keep silent to avoid a potential beating.

The couple of Yang Qilang were also talking about this, though it was mainly the wife who was speaking. Yang Qilang just listened from the side.

The wife of Yang Qilang was quite formidable. She was cunning, resourceful, the most formidable of them all. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to marry into the Yang Family.

Yang Qilang, however, didn’t mind much. Even though he was a bit gullible, he knew that brotherhood mattered the most.

The household of Yang Bala was quite quiet. Of course, the woman was unwilling. Yet, due to a previous incident, Yang Bala was still angry. So, she kept her grievances to herself.

Yang Liulang was in the study searching for an old recipe. He had collected it before, thinking it was useless then, having heard it was a recipe from the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Physician.

After finding it, he tucked it away. If this was something his wife could use, she might have a better chance of having independent shares.

Only then did he have a chance to rest for a bit. Thinking of the lunchtime incident, he chuckled. Women’s little schemes were unavoidable, but ultimately, it depended on the brothers’ opinions.

He understood this well. Even though the Yang Family had a vast estate, they had too many brothers. Their father would surely give the most to the eldest brother, being the firstborn son. What would be left for the others?

He thought about coming up with something on his own outside, after all, he would have children to raise in the future.

Even though it seemed like the Zeng Family wouldn’t mistreat his wife in the future and she would surely have her share,

it was still someone else giving it to her. How could that compare to earning it himself?

Yang Liulang felt he wasn’t wrong in his thinking. As long as the Zeng Family treated him and his future children well, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to them.

Yang Jiahui wasn’t too happy. He once again considered the idea of dividing the family estate, thinking he’d wait until after Old Nine got married.

Honestly speaking, people outside envied him for having so many sons. With the grandchildren already numbering twenty, such a big family inevitably had many conflicts.

Once the family was divided, they could live as they pleased.

At four in the afternoon, Shen Yuexing came over.

Zeng Yaozu looked at the slim little girl and sighed inwardly.

”Little girl, if you want to, you can stay with us old folks. But, I can’t promise I can protect you.”

Shen Yuexing nodded. She understood. Many had their eyes on the Shen Family’s treasure basin, but she didn’t care what others thought. She believed it must be the treasure basin.

If she truly lived with the Zeng Family, many people would refrain from bothering them. She had already spread the news of selling the treasure basin. There was no choice. She was just too weak.

”Thank you, Grandpa Zeng. I will, I’ll work hard in the future.”

”There’s not much work at home. Just meals for the three of us and keeping the house clean,” Zeng Zhixuan said.

He genuinely felt sorry for this little girl. Mainly because Shen Lin had been really good. Now that both he and his wife were gone, leaving this little girl behind, he wanted to help as much as he could.

”You can come over and live here,” Zeng Yaozu finally decided. As people age, they tend to grow soft-hearted.

”Thank you, Grandpa Zeng. I’ll go back and pack. I’ll come over the day after tomorrow.”

After seeing the little girl off, Zeng Zhixuan was still quite downcast. He couldn’t help it; if the Zeng Family didn’t stop in time, who knew what might have happened.

In the evening, Yang Liulang returned to the Zeng Family and handed the recipe to Zeng Yaozu.

”Grandpa, this is a recipe I collected before. See if it’s valuable?”

Zeng Yaozu felt quite reassured by this, though he said, ”Let me see; I might not understand it either.” Still, he took it.

After dinner, they showed the recipe to Su Yuanyuan.

”I think there are a few remedies for women that are quite good; I believe this will be the trend in the future. I’ll inquire about it when I return.”

With these words, the Zeng Family felt reassured.

After they finished making love, Yang Liulang and his wife talked. ”Sixth Brother, Shen Yuexing from the Shen Family will come to take care of Grandpa and Uncle.”

Yang Liulang knew about the Shen Family. After Shen Lin fell ill, he had collected some of his paintings and calligraphy.

”That’s troublesome.”

”Yes, but she seemed pitiful. If I hadn’t met Yuanyuan, my end might not have been good either.”

Yang Liulang embraced Zeng Hongling, ”No, your life will only get better.”

”I know it will only get better for me in the future.

Sixth Brother, is the treasure basin real? I saw it today. It’s old but nothing special.

The little girl had good judgment. When people pursued her, she ran into Yuanyuan and sold what was said to be the treasure basin for fifty bucks to her.

This is why I’m willing to help her; I feel she’s very similar to me. How did she just happen to run into Yuanyuan? How did she have the courage to sell it to Yuanyuan at the time? And why did Yuanyuan buy it, considering she hates trouble?

That’s why I believe it’s fate between them. Anyone with a connection to Yuanyuan will be happy in the future; that’s what I think.”

Yang Liulang held Zeng Hongling tightly, ”Yes, you’re right. People are indeed spreading rumors about the treasure basin being sold.

Since you think well of this little girl, I’ll help make this known to more people.

Actually, this girl is just trying to pass the buck. But she got lucky. She ran into Su Yuanyuan. It’s indeed her fate.”

”Yes, if it were someone else, who knows how it would turn out? But with Yuanyuan, there’s no problem.”

Shen Yuexing arrived early in the morning; she had quite a lot of luggage, mainly bedding and clothes.

Zeng Hongling arranged a room for her. ”Did you tidy things at home?”

Shen Yuexing gave a wry smile, ”What is there to tidy? Everything that could be sold was sold, but I intend to keep the house.”

The genuinely good things at home were buried underground; they were left to her by her parents. Even when she wanted to dig something up due to lack of money, her parents had strictly refused.

”Right, that’s your root. If you have time in the future, go there to maintain it. An unoccupied house easily deteriorates.”

Shen Yuexing felt grateful to the Zeng Family for helping her during her toughest times.

”Thank you, Sister Hongling. When you’re not here, I’ll take good care of Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Zeng. You can rest assured.”

”Alright, I trust you.” Looking at this frail little girl, Zeng Hongling felt a pang of sympathy.

At noon, it was just the two of them cooking. Surprisingly, the little girl’s cooking skills were quite decent. The dishes were well-received by Zeng Yaozu and his son.
