Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 343: 343 satisfied

Zhang Fusheng smiled at Zhao Yanping. This woman truly is simple.

”Hurry up and eat, or it won’t taste good after a while.”

Zhao Yanping picked up her chopsticks, grabbed an egg, and placed it directly in Zhang Fusheng’s bowl. ”I haven’t eaten yet. This is for you. You worked hard driving.”

This scene was spotted by Mrs. Zhang, who had just come out. Now, what’s there to be dissatisfied about? This is the girl.

She can take care of her son like this. After I’m gone, I can rest easy. The elderly lady retreated again, leaving the space for the two young people.

Zhang Fusheng laughed, ”You eat it. One egg is enough for me. Honestly, I usually don’t eat eggs at all.” After saying that, he put the egg back.

”Don’t refuse. Hurry and eat, my mom is waiting to chat with you. Nowadays, she doesn’t have anyone to talk to. It’ll be a bit of a chore for you today.”

Zhao Yanping nodded with a red face and bowed her head to eat.

After finishing the meal, she wanted to wash the dishes, but Zhang Fusheng took over. ”I’ll do it. As long as I’m at home, I handle these chores.”

At this time, Mrs. Zhang also came out and held Zhao Yanping’s hand, ”Young woman, let’s go rest and let Fusheng do it.”

Holding Zhao Yanping’s hand, she realized this girl was capable.

Zhao Yanping took off her clothes, put money under the pillow, and lay straight in the bed. The elder lady felt even more satisfied.

Then the elder woman started asking questions. Her son hadn’t made things clear earlier. She had to ask herself.

Zhao Yanping answered every question. But why did it feel wrong, as the elder’s questions became more probing?

However, she was too embarrassed not to answer.

”Young woman, you’ve had a hard life. You’re newlyweds, how could that man find fault with you?”

Zhao Yanping didn’t answer immediately, feeling a bit embarrassed.

”It’s okay. If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.”

”Aunt, it’s not like that. It’s because of my health. When I gave birth to my daughter, some things weren’t cleaned out properly, and the next day, I was up working on the land. So, my body always has a smell.”

Mrs. Zhang cried, ”Young woman, your life is so hard. You ended up with those brutes. But your luck will be very good in the future.”

The old lady was also concerned. She hoped her son could have many children. She was worried that this girl might have lingering health issues and be unable to give birth. But then again, she thought, she already had a big grandson. If not, then not, as her son likes her.

”Aunt, if it weren’t for my family, the doctor said I might not have made it. Luckily I went to the hospital.”

”Yes, a big life means big blessings in the future.”

This topic arose because the elder asked; otherwise, it would have been hard to bring up.

Mrs. Zhang asked even more questions and felt this girl was truly wonderful.

She wasn’t seeking anything, just hoping her son had someone who cared about him.

The next day, Zhao Yanping woke up a bit late and felt embarrassed as she lay alone in bed.

She quickly got up, dressed, and neatly made the bed.

”Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?” Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

”Aunt, sorry, I slept too soundly.”

”Young people should sleep more. Go wash up. In a while, they’ll be up, and we’ll have breakfast.”

After quickly washing, Zhao Yanping helped Mrs. Zhang with breakfast preparations.

Mrs. Zhang watched the girl skillfully work in the kitchen and became even more pleased.

Zhang Fusheng came out with his son. He had spoken with his son about his plans. Of course, the son didn’t disagree. He remembered his mom when she passed and knew how hard it had been for his dad all these years. Getting a stepmother was no big deal.

Moreover, he was already thirteen, almost an adult. What was there to worry about? He trusted his dad’s judgment. Even if they didn’t get along, it wouldn’t matter.

So when he came out, he saw a young woman helping his grandma.

How nice, right? Grandma was old, and having someone to help and keep her company was great.

Hence, Zhang Xinhua had a great impression of Zhao Yanping and proactively called her ’Auntie.’

Zhao Yanping responded with a smile, finding the young boy to be quite likable and polite.

In the morning, there was corn porridge, but Mrs. Zhang made pancakes, which was already a very good breakfast.

”Aunt, actually, next time Brother Zhang comes back, he can buy more white flour from our farm. Our wheat harvest was particularly good this year.”

”That would be great. Living here it’s inconvenient, and buying fine grain is difficult.”

”Growing it ourselves is much better.”

Mrs. Zhang was very happy. With the whole family together, eating together just felt more delicious, didn’t it?

After breakfast, Zhang Xinhua said goodbye and went to school.

Zhang Fusheng still washed the dishes.

”Young woman, if the fertilizer isn’t ready today, feel free to come back home. I have someone to keep this old lady company now.”

Zhao Yanping laughed, ”Okay. Also, thanks to Brother Zhang for his trouble.”

”What’s the trouble? It’s just the extra cost for my daughter that’s a bit embarrassing.”

There was no way, as the daughter’s payment wasn’t fully hers and had to be split with others.

”Aunt, I understand. Plus, without you, no matter how much I wanted to spend, I couldn’t get it.”

Mrs. Zhang became even more satisfied. She is a sensible person.

She looked at the backs of her son and the girl, feeling how perfectly matched they seemed.

Zhang Fusheng still rode a bike, with Zhao Yanping sitting behind him.

They arrived at the fertilizer factory, just as it opened.

After speaking to the doorman, someone was called.

Zhang Caixia felt puzzled seeing her Brother and that somewhat familiar-looking woman at the gate.

”Brother, what is this?”

”Do you still have fertilizer?”

”Yes. I haven’t given it out. A few people have asked me, but I didn’t know who to give it to.” She was really troubled. But she couldn’t help it since they were all acquaintances and she couldn’t offend any of them.

”Give it to me.”

”To you?”

”Yes. This is the sister of the girl who came for fertilizer the other day. I’m delivering it to them.”

”I thought this girl looked familiar. So she’s that little girl’s sister, huh?

Alright, I’ll give it to you. I’m giving it to my brother, so no one can say anything.”

Zhao Yanping listened from the side, feeling reassured after confirming. Hearing so many people wanted it made her uneasy.

”Let’s get it done now and avoid complications.”

”Brother, rushing won’t help. It’ll take three to five days. Don’t you know how it is here?”

”It’s fine, even if I have to wait a week. As long as I pay and get the pick-up slip, I’ll feel secure.”

”Alright, let’s go handle it now.”

Zhao Yanping went along to pay and finally slipped Zhang Caixia two hundred yuan, as her younger sister had instructed.
