Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 78 Crisis

When you get home, have Yang Xue carry the basin. Give her three pumpkins.

After sending Yang Xue off, Su Yuanyuan took the money to repay Yang Hongwen, just saying that she had sold the corn yesterday, so it would be easier to talk.

"Girl, have a meal at my house today, try the pancakes Aunt made. They’re sauerkraut and vermicelli flavored."

"Aunt, no thanks, I came to pay back the money for the wheat I owe you."

"What’s the rush?"

"I sold the corn yesterday, so I have money in hand to repay. It’s more reassuring to sleep this way."

Yang Hongwen came out from the house, "Girl, come in." He had just gotten home too, the two old women were fighting earlier and insisted he come over, he really didn’t want to deal with that.

"Uncle, here’s the money for the wheat."

Yang Hongwen nodded, took it, counted it once, then set it aside.

"Girl, have you heard? Da Qiang, who went to Jiangbei with your parents, has sent a letter."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Hu Chunhua, my Aunt told me just now."

"Girl, I heard that Daqiang’s mother wants to trick Dazhuang’s family into going, so they’re fighting."

Su Yuanyuan nodded again, she had heard this from Wang Qiuju.

"Girl, I went over there just now and figured it out, it’s really tough over there."

Su Yuanyuan understood what Yang Hongwen meant. "Uncle, we just talked about this. My Aunt is afraid my parents will want me to replace them."

Yang Hongwen nodded, he was worried about this too.

"Uncle, if that day really comes, just say I owe you money. If they want me to replace them, they won’t give me anything. This way, I won’t be able to survive there.

I figured I would say I owe you money, and if they want me to replace them, they need to pay first, so I can survive when I get there."

Yang Hongwen sighed, "Alright, I know what to say."

Hope they don’t come back, seeing them is upsetting.

Su Yuanyuan smiled and stood up, "Uncle, then I’ll go home."

Su Yuanyuan felt an urgent feeling; when she got home, she must grind all the corn into flour, and the wheat too; everything edible at home must be collected. Plus, the dead trees she had worked hard to chop down. She wasn’t leaving anything behind for them.

Back home, she didn’t feel like making shoes, so she led out the big ram and started grinding flour.

The snow outside had stopped, looks like she needed to go to the county tomorrow. This matter really needed to be clarified.

On the second day, after clearing the snow at home, she pushed the cart to Yang Peilin’s house. The cart was loaded with eight bags of cotton, and Yang Peilin helped tie them securely. After paying them, she pushed the cart away.

The villagers saw Su Yuanyuan coming out from Yang Peilin’s house with so much cotton, they came over to ask.

"That girl is going to the county today, I asked her to help deliver the cotton."

"Are you so at ease with sending her?"

"What’s there to be uneasy about? This girl was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, that’s all, nothing else wrong with her.

Xiao Jing, we’re all women, Yuanyuan hasn’t done anything against you, let’s not talk about her. She couldn’t decide on the day she was born. In my view, if there’s a real bad luck charm, it’s her mom."

"Actually, you’re right, that little girl doesn’t even speak loudly."

"Xiao Jing, talk about this outside later, don’t always make things difficult for a little girl."

Su Yuanyuan left the village, walked some distance, and when she saw no one around, she put the cotton into the space.

When she arrived at the county, "Girl, you’re here?"

"Uncle, I’m going to ask the government about the situation of those who went to Jiangbei, someone from our village has written back. Yesterday there was a fight in the village. They say if you can find someone to replace you, then you can come back."

"I didn’t know, come on, I’ll go with you to ask."

The two reached the county, it was particularly busy here, everyone was rushing around.

Old Yang brought Su Yuanyuan to find someone he knew and asked about the situation.

"It should be possible."

"The replacement has to be one family member replacing another, right?"

"That’s how it is."

"Old Xu, this girl’s parents took her brother to Jiangbei, could they make her replace all three of them?"

"The whole family didn’t go together?"

"No, those two are heartless. They left nothing for the girl, it’s thanks to kind villagers she’s okay."

"Old Yang, I’ll take care of this. What you mentioned shouldn’t happen, but if the people there agree, I can’t stop it from happening without signing off here."

"Thanks, Old Xu." Old Yang exchanged more pleasantries before they returned.

"Girl, what do you think?"

"Uncle Yang, honestly it might not be impossible. Even though they wronged me and dismissed me, they’re still my parents. If that day comes, I could replace them, but they must give me a severance certificate. They must pay me for everything I’ve arranged, then I would go to Jiangbei."

"Girl, the environment is extremely harsh."

Su Yuanyuan just smiled, "Uncle Yang, if I don’t agree and they want to take me there, can I refuse? It’s better for me to go by myself than to serve their whole family."

Old Yang thought about Su Yuanyuan’s words and felt they made a lot of sense.

"Alright, you’re right, come to me if you need anything then.

Also, Jinyu and white fish are here for you. Do you want to buy more?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, of course, they were the most valuable items.

"If you really leave, won’t these be left for them to take?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Don’t worry, Uncle Yang, I’ve hidden them well. No one else can find them."

Su Yuanyuan spent a thousand yuan to buy two boxes of Jinyu and white fish.

"Can you manage to move them? Otherwise, I can drive you."

"I’ll go slowly by myself. Besides, no one would guess a child pushing two boxes is carrying valuable items. Also, Uncle Yang, if you find more, keep them for me. I’ll sell fish after a while and will definitely come by."

"Alright, I’ll help you sell them then."

Once she left the county and saw no one around, Su Yuanyuan put them into the space.

She pushed the cart all the way home, not seeing anyone. Well, it’s not like there’s anything happening, they should be at home shelling corn or something. frёeωebɳovel.com

When she got home, Su Yuanyuan started grinding flour again, and the snakeskin bags weren’t enough. The day after tomorrow there’s a big market, she’ll have to go and buy more.

She must buy more, even sweet potato slices need to be ground. This millstone is definitely not going to be left behind for them, but she’s afraid when the time comes, she won’t have time to grind.

Knowing this situation, she plans not to go anywhere this year. She’ll stay at home diligently working. Everything will be made into finished products, so whenever she needs to use them or sell them, it will be convenient.
