Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Difficulties

Su Liangliang now hates everyone, even though he has money in his hand, the girl he likes still doesn’t want to marry him.

And then there’s Zhang Chunsheng, if it weren’t for that jinx who bites the hand that feeds him, finding jobs for outsiders and ignoring him. In that case, he would also be a regular worker in the Capital. He would be the one envied.

Zhang Chunsheng felt a prickle on his back, how did Su Liangliang become like this? Over the years, he seemed to have changed. Although he used to look quite sleazy, after the change, he didn’t seem quite as unpleasant. Who would have thought that he would become like this after the incident?

When he got home, he saw Mom and his wife cooking. He went into the house to check if his son was still sleeping.

”Mom, where’s Dad?”

”He took your nephew to play. Why did you come back so early today?”

”I thought I’d come back to watch over the kid.”

”Go wake him up, he should eat soon.”

Zhang Chunsheng nodded and went to wake up his son. How could this kid sleep at this time? He won’t be able to sleep at night again.

By the time the father and son came back from playing, dinner was already prepared. The family sat together happily for dinner. Each of the two children had a bowl of egg custard. Although it was just one egg per person, it was definitely a treat at the time.

Cai Jianya looked at her nephew and really felt this kid was nice. With the boy being raised by her mother-in-law, she felt assured.

After the couple finished their business at night, ”Chunsheng. Mom asked me about Yuanyuan today. I was so scared I didn’t know what to say.”

”But don’t say anything, Mom would have a bad time for the new year. When I came back just now, I ran into Yuanyuan’s brother, it just made me uncomfortable, that way he looked at people was really creepy.”

”Chunsheng, stay away from him.”

”I know.”

The next day the family went to the market. Cai Jianya also carried her son with her. This was the last market before the new year, there were a lot of people.

”Chunsheng, who is that staring at us? It’s scary just looking.”

”That’s Su Liangliang.” Zhang Chunsheng was not having it. He didn’t want to deal with Su Liangliang. But he couldn’t allow him to stare at his wife like that.

”You wait here for a moment,” he said and headed toward Su Liangliang.

Cai Jianya pulled him back, ”Don’t stoop to his level, that kind of person isn’t worth it.”

Yang Chunsheng, being pulled back, looked at his wife, saw her looking at him nervously, and stopped, knowing there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Su Liangliang later.

Su Liangliang got a fright just now, he is a typical bully afraid of toughness. Seeing Yang Chunsheng’s posture just then, he got anxious and turned away.

The three of them continued shopping, and soon they saw the eldest sister-in-law. They greeted her, and the woman returned a bland acknowledgment.

Now she hated Hu Chunhua and his wife even more. Whenever she saw the second brother-in-law and his wife, what was left in her heart was hatred. Such a good job, why did it go to the second brother? Why didn’t they find one for the eldest?

Yang Chunsheng understood the sister-in-law’s thoughts, having anticipated such a day.

He had been thinking about letting the eldest brother know if there were any job openings at the factory. But there weren’t any at all, even temporary work was very troublesome to get.

Cai Jianya knew the situation, but didn’t take it to heart, their family had already benefitted, and it was enough that her husband had a job, nothing else mattered.

Besides, Yuanyuan was so capable now, yet wasn’t helping. It just meant her husband was excellent. Not to mention the eldest brother-in-law was really too taciturn.

She herself had a job, but with such a brother-in-law, even if he had a job in the future, he would be marginalized. It’s not about currying favor, at least you must have people skills.

The couple bought some New Year’s goods. Mainly, there weren’t many vendors, and the things sold at the market were already in their home, buying them would just get them scolded when they got back.

The child was delighted to see so many people. Maybe his grandparents had also taken him to the market before, but he was just happy and not curious.

At the market, they ran into many acquaintances who would greet Yang Chunsheng.

There wasn’t anyone who didn’t envy Yang Chunsheng. To have a job, and not just any job, a regular position in the Capital, plus to have a beautiful wife from there, these were all things envied by the youth.

In fact, some people in the village were hoping Su Yuanyuan could return, so they could get close and maybe find a job. But she hadn’t come back in years, they all regretted not treating her better back then, feeling that Hu Chunhua was the slyest, as only their family was taken care of.

Hu Chunhua originally wanted to go to the market, but the eldest son came over.

The old couple could tell from the son’s demeanor it was certainly about work.

”Mom, find Yuanyuan, I want to work outside too.”

”Eldest, finding work isn’t something you can find just because you want to. It’s not even Yuanyuan’s decision.

Chunsheng’s job was a timely opportunity. It’s normal for you to envy your brother. But we don’t have that capability.”

”Mom, you treated Yuanyuan so well, make her think of a way.”

Hu Chunhua looked at this eldest son, now acutely aware that marrying a virtuous wife is crucial. The eldest never used to be like this, but with constant whispers from the pillow, he had become so.

”Eldest, you really disappoint me, others may not know, but don’t you? Was it me helping Yuanyuan more, or Yuanyuan helping us more? If it weren’t for her, paying off the famine wouldn’t have been possible, without her, how would we have managed those years? Let alone surviving.

Eldest, how did you become like this? You keep thinking Chunsheng has it good, but you’re only seeing the surface. The second brother and his wife could only see their kid once or twice a year, not a single day off, is that good?

Even if you think it’s good, it was the second brother’s opportunity, you didn’t want to go with me at the time, and they saw Chunsheng’s potential, you know we were carrying so many things and preparing for a whole night of walking, if not, they wouldn’t have helped find a job?

Why should they? You bring no benefit to them, if you tally it up, we still owe Yuanyuan a debt.

Was the village chief not good to Yuanyuan? The same, but why didn’t they find work for their family? You’re grown now, why haven’t you thought things through?”

Hu Chunhua was truly angry, not expecting the eldest son to be like this.

Yang Zhiqiang lowered his head, ”Mom, go talk nicely to Yuanyuan, working is so easy, and you can earn money. How much can we earn all year around?”

”I don’t have the face for that, besides, even if I spoke, do you think Yuanyuan would find a job for you? You don’t know how you really are? Just looking at you now, she won’t bother. People interact based on mutual interests, why should they do a favor for us?”
