Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1243: Reunion

Tan Shaoting listened to his wife’s words and was stunned for a while.

"Yuanyuan, what you said relieves me a bit."

"I’m speaking the truth. When you think back on it someday, don’t you find life to be colorful and diverse? Although there are hardships and sweetness, they are all experiences we’ve personally lived through."

"Yes, you’re right, this is something we need to experience. It will be our wealth."

"That’s the right way to think about it."

The family returned from the reservoir and continued to stroll onward.

"Mom, let’s go back to the old home and take a look."

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Sure, I don’t know what it’s like now. But back then, I really felt I had made it a home."

Zhao Tian and his family walked back. He led the way, thinking about how to convince his sons to go back.

The other three families followed behind, and Zhao Xiaojing had already decided; she wasn’t going back, she would stay here.

Moreover, she knew her father only wanted the eldest and second brothers to return; he was indifferent about her.

Xu Hongbing knew his wife’s thoughts; he didn’t want to leave here. Although his reputation wasn’t good here, life was indeed very relaxed.

No need to ask to know their life in the old home wouldn’t be good; it’s better to live here.

At Zhao Qingxiang’s doorstep, Zhao Tian stopped. The idea was to wait for the door to open, to discuss things here.

Sun Yun wouldn’t say anything about such matters; she opened the door and entered the house.

Zhao Xiaojing stopped her father, "Dad, Hongbing and I will go back first."

Zhao Tian didn’t turn around, just waved his hand; if she didn’t want to go back, so be it. Is he supposed to rely on his daughter for old age care? He also has sons.

"Qing Jie, you two come inside as well."

Sun Yun entered the house and got on the kang; she now remembered Su Yuanyuan’s words, to be kinder to herself.

Zhao Tian sat on a stool, "Just now, you heard what Yuanyuan said; I want to take your mom back."

Zhao Qingxiang kept his head down without speaking; he also realized his wife wasn’t willing.

Zhao Qingjie frowned, "Dad, going back is not a good idea; I don’t want to work at the cement factory. Without Yuanyuan saying so, I already know how tiring a cement factory is.

And the monthly salary is so little, I have two sons who need houses and wives; what will happen in the future?"

Zhao Tian didn’t refute immediately, "Eldest, what’s your opinion?"

Zhao Qingxiang raised his head, "Dad, I’m not going back either. After living here for so many years, I don’t want to leave.

Besides, what Second said is right. Without earning money, how will we support the children’s education in the future?"

Zhao Tian had already considered that his two sons were unwilling.

"So you guys are going to watch me die here?"

The two brothers frowned and kept silent.

"Think about it, I raised you. You only think about your own life, why not think about me? Your mom died here, do you also want me to die here?"

Along the way, Zhao Tian had already thought about it. He can only use this method; otherwise, they really won’t go back.

Zhao Qingxiang sighed, "Dad, I’m not going back. Your old age care is a matter for Second Brother; you should discuss it with him."

Inside, Zhao Tian’s heart skipped a beat; yes, it was made very clear then that in the future, anything would have nothing to do with the eldest.

He bowed his head awkwardly; seems he could only have Qing Jie and his family go back with him.

He sighed and stood up, bowing his head as he walked away.

Zhao Qingjie and his wife also followed and left.

Sun Yun sat up and held Zhao Qingxiang’s hand.

"Qingxiang, after our four children get into college and start families, if you want to go back, then go back. Right now we just need to make more money for the kids, letting them go to school.

They’ll succeed in the future, unlike us, worn out and exhausted daily."

Zhao Qingxiang nodded. "I know, ever since Yuanyuan said those things, I’ve been thinking about this issue. I also picked up on Yuanyuan’s seeming unwillingness to care."

"Qingxiang, right now I don’t want to beg Yuanyuan; I’m just thinking when Xiao Ling and the others succeed in the future, we can ask Yuanyuan for help to find good jobs for them.

If anything happens, we mustn’t trouble others and delay the children’s opportunities."

Zhao Qingxiang listened to his wife and felt she made a lot of sense.

At this age, even if he got a good job arranged for himself, how many more years could he work? Better to wait until the children need help.

"Alright, I don’t think as far ahead as you do, but this is right. We definitely shouldn’t waste this opportunity.

Okay, you rest; I’ll go to the field to work. These medicinal plants won’t be long before they need to be harvested."

"Hmm, don’t overwork yourself; I’ll rest a while and come to find you in the field later."

"You don’t need to; just recover your health."

Zhao Tian and the others got back home. "Second, you come to my room."

Qi Xue Mei didn’t want to go to Zhao Tian’s room; it had a smell she found truly unbearable. But she also didn’t want him in her room.

Zhao Tian got on the kang, lighting his pipe, "Second, you really don’t want to go back?"

"That’s right, Dad, you’re overthinking it. Your health is still good; when the day truly comes, I’ll definitely send you back.

What can we do if we go back now? We couldn’t even support two sons."

"Didn’t your mom and I raise you all just fine?"

"Dad, times are different now; you know that. How much does it cost for a kid to go to school?

Don’t let the kids go to school and end up like us."

Zhao Tian was unwilling, feeling trapped inside; his wife died from exhaustion, and he doesn’t want to work either, fearing he too might die from it.

"Fine, if you all won’t go back, I’ll go by myself."

Zhao Qingjie was angry; when he lived with his elder brother, his brother worked. Now, living with him, not working is fine, but don’t stir up trouble.

"Do you know the way back home? If you get lost, you won’t find your way back; then how will you live outside?"

Zhao Tian was actually afraid of this; he couldn’t read and feared getting lost.

"Second, you’re really heartless enough to watch me die alone here?"

"So what do you want me to do? Even if you want to live on your own, wait until after the autumn harvest, alright?"

Zhao Qingjie was thinking of asking Wei Guangxiang and the technicians; they should be returning to the Capital. Once in the Capital, he’d be closer to home, then things would be easier to talk about.

He didn’t want to make a trip back; the round-trip fare and expenses on the way would cost dozens, what good is that?

Qi Xuemei just sat at the side, fearing her husband might want to leave; what would she do then? Follow him? She went back once before, knowing it wasn’t better than here, plus there was less land.

She was relieved by her husband’s words. In her heart, she hoped her father-in-law would hurry back; she sincerely didn’t want to live with him. If he really left by himself, wouldn’t that be great?
