Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 329: 329 Angry

This is when Zhao Yanli realized the benefits of pesticides, so she was no longer afraid of spending more money.

Actually, everything requires effort to get rewards.

On her way back, Zhao Yanli went directly to the Li Family.

”Mr. Li, I’m going to buy some fertilizer and pesticide. How much will you need this year?”

She really felt a bit embarrassed; she only had a little over a thousand yuan, certainly not enough to cover everything for someone else.

Li Hongxiang laughed. This girl was really sincere.

”Xiao Li, I’ll give you a thousand yuan. We can share the fertilizer and pesticides when the time comes.”

”Okay, got it,” Zhao Yanli felt her face burning.

She took the money home, not worried about losing it on the way. This time Yuanyuan suggested going to the pesticide factory first, needing to find a truck in the city, and there were pesticide barrels to bring back.

In the afternoon, she went to her two brothers’ and her Second Sister’s houses by car.

She went along with Hai Yan. Even though it’s now below freezing, they were used to living here and didn’t feel any discomfort.

The little girl was so happy to see her cousin and didn’t want to leave.

”Big Sister-in-law, can Xiao Ling come with me to stay for a few days?”

Sun Yun was a bit hesitant. Although Xiao Ling was still young, she could help watch over her second daughter.

”Big Sister-in-law, let my second niece come along too. My big sister can help watch them for a few days.”

The Big Sister-in-law’s family was picking cotton at the moment, and since she had to leave, only the big sister could help watch the kids.

The two sisters discussed it and agreed. This way, Zhao Yanping could also dig up the cotton stalks.

”Alright, I’ll trouble you then.”

The eldest brother gave six hundred yuan, enough for the fertilizer and pesticides; this was also what they usually gave to Su Yuanyuan.

Zhao Yanli left Hai Yan there and went to her Second Brother’s house by car. The couple was more relaxed than the eldest brother, owning one hundred acres of land, and they were currently digging up the cotton stalks. If they delayed any further, it would be too hard after the ground freezes.

The Second Brother’s family gave four hundred yuan.

”Second Sister-in-law, let Zhixue come with me for a few days? I’ll take Xiao Ling and Second too.”

The eldest brother and sister-in-law still hadn’t chosen a name for the second niece yet; they were just too busy at the moment.

”No need, we’ll be done in two days on our side. Your Second Brother can go help the Big Brother, and I’ll handle things at home, taking care of Zhixue. If you leave, just Xiaoping taking care of so many kids won’t be fine.”

After leaving Second Sister-in-law’s house, she sent the money to the eldest brother’s house, then went to the Second Sister’s house by car.

The Second Sister’s house wasn’t done yet, but Xu Hongbing was quite capable.

”I’ve had it easy this year, after all.”

Zhao Yanli thought to herself, if you’re taking it easy, why not help Big Brother and Second Brother?

But she didn’t say it out loud. It was their business. Even though they were sisters, once married, things were different.

They gave four hundred yuan and repeatedly warned Zhao Yanli not to lose it.

”Why not just wait and buy it from the field department?”

Zhao Yanli got annoyed; why was her Second Sister like this?

After saying that, she didn’t take the money and just thought about leaving.

”Xiao Li, I’m sincerely advising you; what if you lose the money?”

”Second Sister, just wait and buy it from the field department. Honestly, holding this much money makes me uneasy.”

The eldest brother and Second Brother had also advised her, but it didn’t bother her, unlike the Second Sister’s off-putting remarks.

Zhao Xiaojing grabbed Zhao Yanli’s hand, ”Xiao Li, look at your temper.”

Xu Hongbing was sitting beside and didn’t say anything.

”Second Sister, seriously, I feel uneasy.”

This was just how Zhao Yanli was, so she truly didn’t take the money.

Along the way, she adjusted her mood, but Sun Yun noticed when she got home.

”Xiao Li, what happened?”

”Nothing.” She really didn’t feel right talking to her sisters-in-law about the Second Sister.

She went home with a thousand yuan and three kids.

The little girl was wrapped in a blanket on the truck. She was still young and could sleep just like that.

Along the way, the two little girls kept chirping, which greatly brightened Zhao Yanli’s mood.

On the road, she saw Xiang Zhiqiang, and her newly improved mood worsened again.

Good grief, here he was, working like a horse for Zheng Lanying.

Zheng Lanying, too, was capable, just one woman.

One hundred acres, now also digging up cotton stalks.

Xiang Zhiqiang was working at the edge of the field. He noticed Zhao Yanli driving over.

He felt awkward and didn’t know what to do.

Zhao Yanli completely ignored him, driving past them.

Zheng Lanying, too, reached the end of the row and saw Zhao Yanli.

The two little girls didn’t know and kept chirping away.

”Hai Yan, really? I want to go see Little Brother too.”

”Yes, Brother, Sister.”

Xiang Zhiqiang felt hurt seeing his own daughter not recognizing him.

He thought that after helping Lanying for a few days, he would go and bring some money to his daughter.

”Brother Xiang.”

”Lanying, let’s hurry up”

Back home, Zhao Yanli didn’t have a smile on her face. No one was home, so she knew her Big Sister must have gone to dig up cotton stalks.

With her little niece at home, she had to change her diaper, cook some goat milk, and have the older ones watch over her. Taking a small hoe, she headed to the field as well.

Seeing her Big Sister working so hard, her heart ached — why was Big Sister’s fate so tough?

By the time the sky was dark, the two sisters returned home.

”What’s wrong with you?”

”Big Sister, what’s happened to our Second Sister? She’s changed so much.”

”What happened to her?”

”You wouldn’t believe it. I asked if she needed fertilizer and pesticide, and she looked so unwilling. When it came to handing over the money, it made me really angry. So I didn’t bother; let her buy it from the field department.”

”Xiao Li, it happens. After a woman marries, she listens to her man and his family. Wasn’t it the same for me back then? It’s not that we don’t want to keep in touch with our family, but we have to consider our husband.”

”That’s nonsense, right? If that’s the case, I won’t get married. And she was bragging about how little she’s worked this year.

I wanted to ask why she didn’t help the Big Brother or Second Brother?”

”Xiao Li, don’t be like that. Some things aren’t as they appear. Come on, don’t be angry, let her buy from the field department.”

When they got home, the three kids were already asleep.

The sisters immediately divided the tasks. Cooking and tending to the livestock.

When dinner was ready, they woke the two older kids, each giving them a bowl of goat milk. Yuanyuan said goat milk is good for kids. According to her, they should eat well, giving the kids something nutritious.

Zhao Yanping fed the little niece. ”Even though Big Sister-in-law isn’t thrilled about Second being a girl, she seems to be quite good to the child.”

”Yes, Big Sister-in-law is good to the second niece too. Big Sister, don’t rush with the cotton stalks. We have three kids. Let’s wait until spring to deal with it.”
