Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Experience

Over here, Su Yuanyuan’s family is having so much fun that they don’t even want to return home. Tan Shaoting even took them to catch grasshoppers, saying grilled grasshoppers are delicious, but none of the three dared to try them.

The person in charge of the pharma factory has arrived. Qi Hong drove Wei Guangxiang away.

Feng Baoshan is responsible for assisting with the work, and now they are starting to harvest herbs. Every day, a large truckload of herbs is taken away.

Qi Yan and the others are working alongside Zhao Qingxiang, which isn’t difficult for them, though it’s a bit exhausting and very sunny.

Zhao Qingxiang initially thought of hiring people, but to his surprise, these three pampered kids are working even faster than strong laborers.

Zhao Qingjie feels very envious because the harvest is urgent, and Zhao Tian is doing nothing, so he had no choice but to hire four people.

Despite this, his older brother and the three kids are working just as fast as us.

He feels uneasy, simply put, he is jealous, jealous that Su Yuanyuan treats his brother better than him.

But he doesn’t have the courage to confront Su Yuanyuan, so he just goes around with a sullen face every day.

Zhao Tian wanders around and also notices the three kids from Su Yuanyuan’s family helping the eldest son.

No one should feel envious about this. If they’re willing to help, it doesn’t matter what others think.

Qi Xue Mei still had to return at noon to cook, and the four hired individuals also had to eat at home.

Having worked all morning, she still had to cook, and she wasn’t in a good mood, especially when she saw her father-in-law spinning around without helping.

Sun Yun prepared a lunch of flatbreads, fried eggs, and cornmeal porridge boiled this morning. The dishes included cucumber salad and sautéed water spinach.

Her cooking is quite good, especially the flatbreads, which are particularly delicious, satisfying the three kids.

In the cool of the afternoon, Su Yuanyuan and her husband came over with two kids.

Seeing the kids doing okay, Su Yuanyuan stood by the field edge and smiled.

”Qi Wen must be thinking if she could use her superpower, she’d be much quicker. She must be complaining.”

”Are you just toughening her up?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”That’s part of it, but the main thing is to let her experience it.”

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Qi Wen indeed complains in her heart but doesn’t stop working, just thinks it’s too slow.

By the end of the day, her back and waist are sore. They didn’t have dinner at the Zhao Family.

Su Yuanyuan prepared spicy boiled fish, mouth-numbing and delicious, to relieve cravings.

The couple didn’t ask much.

The next three days went the same way. With 80 acres, the four had already completed half of it.

Zhao Qingxiang didn’t expect the three kids to stick with it.

After returning home for dinner, ”Xiao Yun, I’ll kill a chicken tomorrow morning. Cook something nice for the kids.”

Sun Yun could do the math too. Hiring people would be more costly than two chickens.

”Alright.”

Qi Xue Mei didn’t cook dinner tonight, lying on the bed saying she couldn’t move.

Zhao Qingjie had no choice but to make flatbreads himself. The hired people were waiting to eat.

The four of them were puzzled, the elderly worked last year but now couldn’t even help if the oil bottle spilled. But that’s their business.

After another five days of work, all the herbs were loaded and taken away, Zhao Qingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather was good, no rain these days, and this meant the year’s task was complete, and soon they could collect the money.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the three kids, tanned from the sun.

”How do you feel?”

”Mom, it’s so exhausting. Thankfully there’s Spiritual Spring Water, or else I couldn’t have lasted.”

Mom finally asked. It wasn’t easy at all.

The other two brothers nodded, it really wasn’t easy.

”It’s hard-earned money.”

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan just smiled at their brother and sister.

”Mom, for such hard work, how much can you earn?”

”Ten bucks per acre excluding seeds.”

”Ten bucks?”

”Yeah, just ten. You have to start planting in spring, weed, and harvest, and only after they’re taken away can you wait to get paid.”

”Isn’t that too little?”

”Only eight hundred for eighty acres?”

”Eight hundred is actually quite a lot. You wouldn’t make this much from grains. Zhao Qingjie’s hired hands, two bucks per person a day, four people mean eight bucks. After ten days, that’s eighty bucks.”

”So we three working for ten days only earned twenty bucks?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, ”Yes.”

That left Qi Wen speechless. It’s said that hardships lead to rewards, but in reality, the effort doesn’t match the reward.

The next day, Sun Yun brought along sweet potatoes.

”Thanks so much to Qi Wen, Qi Hong, and Qi Yan. Without them, we’d have to hire help.”

The three siblings exchanged pleasantries and drove away. Qi Wen had already mentioned it yesterday, she wanted to visit the city.

Watching the three kids leave, Sun Yun sighed, ”Yuanyuan, I really envy you.”

”Big Sis, you’ve envied me so many times.”

”You’re just someone others envy for a lifetime.”

”Yuanyuan, this year Xiao Jing’s family hired four people too, just like Second Brother’s family, but half a day faster.”

”Xu Hongbing is indeed capable.”

”Zhao Xiaojing is really hands-on, unlike Xuemei; she didn’t used to be like this.”

”People are shaped by their environment.”

”Aren’t they? My father-in-law came to my house yesterday. Your big brother invited him to stay for dinner. Watching the elder eat, I felt bad.”

At this, Su Yuanyuan said nothing. It’s a matter of personal choice.

”My father-in-law said Second Brother and his wife got into a fight, all because Xuemei wouldn’t cook.”

It’s understandable, really tiring indeed.

Qi Wen drove, her speed always quite fast.

”What do you want to see?” Qi Yan asked his sister.

”I don’t know, just want to check out the city.”

”Without a purpose, you might be disappointed.”

”Won’t know until we check it out?”

The two brothers had no objections, their sister could go wherever she liked.

”Big brother, Second brother, if we had to live like this forever, would you agree?”

”Don’t worry, Mom would never make us work like this.”

”Mom intends to leave and probably won’t come back. She wants us to experience this. We’ve been exposed to quite a lot here.”

”I’m excited about leaving, can’t wait to get out.”

”We can’t let Mom have regrets, don’t rush her, she’ll leave when she’s ready.”

”I know, actually, Mom probably has at most a year before leaving.”

Qi Wen is well aware, ”Big brother, Second brother, do you feel a sense of belonging here? Would you consider it home?”

”I don’t.”

”I don’t either. But I also don’t feel a sense of belonging to the Star Cloud Realm,” Qi Yan said.

”Me neither,” Qi Hong added.
