Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1213: Postpartum Confinement

Qi Hong, after hearing what his sister said, remarked, "Why does it sound like you’re not praising me?"

Qi Wen laughed, "How could it not be praise? What did I even say?"

Qi Hong didn’t argue with her.

Qi Yan looked at his dad, "Have you decided on the names for the two of them, Dad?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Tan Shaoting hesitated a moment, "The fourth one will be Tan Qihao, and the fifth one will be Tan Qixuan."

Su Yuanyuan smiled, thinking that when she asked him, he didn’t answer. Now that the kids asked, he should have come up with two names he was somewhat satisfied with, although he still seemed uncertain.

There was a knock at the door, and Qi Yan went to open it. Daqing and Chengzi walked in together.

"Congratulations, Boss."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Thank you all." They were the first to congratulate him.

Daqing and Chengzi looked at the two little ones in amazement, "When they grow up, they’ll definitely be as good-looking as their older siblings."

Daqing was truly envious of their kids; his wife was also pregnant, but he couldn’t hope for his child to grow up looking like them.

Chengzi was thoroughly charmed by the two little ones.

"It’s just a shame we can’t come in. If we could, I’d definitely bring my wife to see them.

Boss, what are their names?"

"Tan Qihao and Tan Qixuan."

Chengzi’s hands were itching to touch them, but he was afraid he might hurt them.

The two little ones smacked their lips and frowned.

Tan Shaoting knew his sons were hungry.

"You two should head back now."

The two men had no idea why the babies frowned. Was their talking too loud?

So, they both quietly said goodbye to Su Yuanyuan and left.

Tan Shaoting made spirit rice porridge for the family; it was his specialty.

Qi Yan went to the cafeteria to buy some buns; there was plenty of food in the space.

In the afternoon, the whole family went into the space where everyone felt comfortable. The two little ones, when they had needs, only furrowed their brows. They didn’t cry or fuss, making them quite endearing.

Su Yuanyuan, still a bit weak from childbirth, fed the babies and went to sleep, leaving the little ones to Tan Shaoting.

That’s when the father and sons started talking about the Jiang Cheng issue.

"Alright, don’t get involved; Zeng Zhenqing will handle it."

"Let’s just stay home and let them take care of it," Qi Hong said with a smile.

Qi Wen snorted, "If it doesn’t go as I wish, fine, our family could just withdraw, and my mom will have more time to look after my two younger brothers."

Qi Yan shared his sister’s sentiment. They could risk their lives, and bleed and sweat, but if things like this couldn’t be settled, what’s the point?

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Your mom is gradually stepping down, so don’t worry."

Qi Wen looked at her dad, "Dad, can we still go back to the Cultivation World?"

Tan Shaoting wasn’t surprised that the kids would ask. It’s mainly because they felt so restricted here. The lack of freedom was something they didn’t like.

"I don’t know either, it’s up to your mom. If she doesn’t want to go, we’ll stay with her."

Qi Yan nodded, "Indeed, it doesn’t matter where we are as long as our family is together."

Qi Hong agreed with his big brother. He didn’t care about the place but about living the way of life that place offers.

Qi Wen sighed, "I’ll ask my mom when there’s a chance."

Tan Shaoting knew if the kids asked their mom about going to the Cultivation World, she would agree.

The family was living happily in the space, but Xu Guozhi was having a headache.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t a big deal, but now some elders wanted to protect his family,

Xu Guozhi knew Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t agree to this.

Why do some people always make things difficult for him?

He was caught in a dilemma; the elders weren’t as forceful as before.

They implied that they didn’t want Jiang Cheng’s collusion with Japan to be exposed. If he died, it would be an explanation for Su Yuanyuan.

But he knew now that the matter was under investigation, Su Yuanyuan would never agree to it.

Could minor Jiang Cheng ever compare to Sun Kaisheng in ability or merit? What happened to Sun Kaisheng? Didn’t he also end up being condemned for eternity?

He genuinely didn’t want to do it, but the elders kept bothering him; it was really annoying.

Why couldn’t they just enjoy their years in peace?

Besides, the nature of this incident was extremely serious. Such behavior should never be condoned.

Xu Guozhi dialed Zeng Zhenqing’s number, and shortly after, he came over.

"A few elders called me earlier, hoping to protect a few of Jiang’s family, suggesting that Jiang Cheng should die instead. They don’t want to publicly announce him as a traitor."

Zeng Zhenqing looked at Xu Guozhi seriously, "From what I know about Su Yuanyuan, if things are handled this way, she and her husband will both walk away."

"Is it that serious?"

"Believe it or not."

"Old Zeng, really? But I’m in such a bind right now."

He didn’t mention to Zeng Zhenqing that they implied Jiang Cheng’s death would settle things, as if one life could resolve everything.

"Can Jiang Cheng compare to Sun Kaisheng?"

Xu Guozhi thought the same, but the elders just wouldn’t relent; their sense of entitlement was the most irritating.

"Make your own decision; I’ve told you what I think."

Zeng Zhenqing returned, his brows furrowed, "Boss, what’s up with you?"

"I didn’t think Jiang Cheng would have anyone backing him. Those old fools, why didn’t they protect Sun Kaisheng back then? He was the real loss."

"Minister Su would never agree."

"I also don’t know if I should tell Xiao Su about this."

"I think Minister Su should know; I don’t want a repeat of the Zhang Chunsheng incident."

Zeng Zhenqing nodded, "Alright, I’ll mention it when I visit her tonight and let her decide."

After work, for once, there was no overtime. Coincidentally meeting some people at their doorstep, everyone smiled.

Li Liyun was really anxious; she still remembered what Qi Yan and them looked like as kids and was very curious. Did the little ones look the same way as them?

But so many leaders were visiting today; she didn’t dare show it and had to hold back.

Su Yuanyuan’s family had been in the space for an hour, feeding the little ones. Now, coming out, they were just asleep, which was fine.

Tan Shaoting was in the kitchen making porridge. The aroma of the spirit rice porridge filled the whole house.

They weren’t planning to get food from the cafeteria today; there was plenty of food in Mom’s space.

Tan Shaoting sensed people outside, knowing they would come, so the family came out.
