Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 814: Resolution

Xiao Qiang had already shelled a lot of corn kernels, and mixed them into the corn grains.

"Sister Jing Chu, you and Brother Guodong can clean up together, I can shake the corn myself."

The siblings were picking corn kernels together while loading the corn grains into the snakeskin bags.

"Jing Chu, don’t be angry anymore. Or we could find Aunt Jiang. You can go live with her, I’ll stay here on my own."

"No need, it’s not a big deal. Just let it pass."

"But what about Sister Xiaoli?"

"We can’t get along, just try to minimize contact in the future."

"Jing Chu."

"Brother, don’t worry. It’s just a personality clash, I know what kind of person she is, so don’t bother convincing me."

"I’m not asking you to change, I’m just worried you feel uncomfortable."

"It’s already like this, what else can be done?"

The siblings didn’t avoid talking in front of Xiao Qiang; hearing them talk about her sister, Xiao Qiang genuinely felt helpless. Before anything happened, their mom had mentioned that their sister was overly kind-hearted and lacked assertiveness.

That’s just the type of person she is, so what can be done? The siblings worked rapidly, packing two bags of corn grains. Guodong carried the corn kernels to the storeroom, while it was now Jing Chu and Xiao Qiang continuing the work.

"Sister Jing Chu, don’t be mad at my sister, she is just like that."

"Hmm, I’m not angry, I understand, you don’t need to worry."

Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaoli lay alone on the kang bed, feeling upset. How could Jing Chu not understand her? It puzzled her.

She still hadn’t forgiven her yet. Indeed, if it weren’t for the father and sons, who knows what her current state might be?

Of course, she wouldn’t have met Old Yang either. Nor would she have the happy life she has now.

But, why can’t Jing Chu just forgive her?

Her naturally melancholic nature made her fall into a spiral, tears clattering down. No matter how she thought it over, she couldn’t understand why Jing Chu couldn’t forgive her.

The events from that day vividly flashed in her mind. Remembering the way those men looked at her made her shudder.

It was disgusting when she recalled that man’s stare at Jing Chu.

Zhao Xiaoli shed tears even more fiercely.

Old Yang wasn’t reassured after the incident ended, so he returned home. Seeing the pillow wet from his wife’s crying, he didn’t know what to say.

"Alright, the matter has been settled, Jing Chu is fine."

"Old Yang, why can’t Jing Chu forgive me?"

Looking at his heartbroken wife, Old Yang sighed internally, "I think Jing Chu is just angry. Don’t you know her personality?"

"Why is she mad at me then?"

Old Yang saw his wife lost and clueless once again and sighed, reflecting on how he was probably blinded by vanity then.

A woman this thoughtless, he must have been attracted by her pretty face initially.

Never mind, they’re married now, and actually, it’s quite good this way. He doesn’t need to pretend too much in front of her; after all, there are a lot of things he can’t talk about on the job.

"Old Yang, did I do something wrong?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"You’re Jing Chu’s sister; even if you can’t help her fight the other side, you shouldn’t hold her back. You should stand firmly by her side."

"But that’s bad for a girl."

"Xiaoli, why are you so concerned about others’ opinions? Even if you know it’s not good, she’s your sister. If she truly has issues, you shouldn’t say it in that setting."

Zhao Xiaoli paused, "I get it. My approach was wrong. I’ll talk to Jing Chu privately in the future, it’s better for a girl to be gentle than too hostile."

Old Yang made up his mind; once the child is born and can learn, he would definitely send them to Xiao Wei’s couple. Otherwise, Zhao Xiaoli would certainly hold them back.

His child doesn’t need to excel, especially a boy, but they shouldn’t be as unambitious as Zhao Xiaoli either. Even a girl with this personality would be bullied.

Old Yang urged her to sleep and went back out to work, really not knowing how to explain things to her.

After finishing work at noon, the three headed home, Sister-in-law Wu had already prepared lunch.

Zhao Xiaoli looked at Jing Chu with swollen eyes, wanting to say something but holding back.

Lv Jingchu acted as if she hadn’t noticed, continuing with what needed to be done. She really didn’t want to have unnecessary interactions with someone like Zhao Xiaoli; in her heart, she already had thoughts of moving out.

Though Dad gave Old Yang a hundred dollars here and someone was cooking, she just didn’t feel happy.

Old Yang and Guodong didn’t know what to say either. If any errors could be pointed out, it was simply what Jing Chu mentioned—their personalities didn’t mesh.

The next day, Li Yungui called Wei Kaiyun, and the two went to Huanggezhuang by car. Chaoyang was very excited to see his father and Master come over; even though the once handsome young man turned hollow-eyed from non-stop tractor driving for over a month, the large eyes remained striking.

"Dad, Master, let’s go find Xiang Dong. Master, wait for me, and let’s go up the mountain together."

"No need to go up the mountain; we’re setting off once you return."

Although a bit disappointed not being able to go up the mountain, Chaoyang was all cheers knowing they’d depart soon for elsewhere.

He drove the tractor away, while Li Yungui and Li Weimin went to the brigade office to get money.

"Old Li, can I get the corn shelling machine the day after tomorrow?"

"Weimin, it really didn’t work out."

"Old Li, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll go back with you now and buy from your village. I won’t short-change you; we just want to quickly complete the public grain exchange, your move here is really putting ten or so of us in a tough spot."

"Sigh, I didn’t consider everything. Sure, come with me, we’ve used four machines in our village, I’ll sell them all to you."

"Alright, but I don’t have the time, so let’s do this. I’ll have my son drive to handle it."

"No problem, let’s go."

Li Yungui originally wanted to check out Liu Village; it wouldn’t happen today, but it seemed two tractors could complete the seeding by tomorrow.

"Xiao Wei, I’ll take a few people up the mountain tomorrow. Chaoyang and the others have made considerable contributions, the kids have lost weight, I’ll check if there’s something good to eat."

"They should really be nourished a bit."

"Xiao Wei, does our village have any hunting rifles? Want to go up too?"

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "No, tomorrow I’m dealing with pulling out cotton stalks and clearing carrots; the day after tomorrow, we’ll let Chaoyang and the others rest for a day; the day after that, we’ll set out.

This time, I’m taking Master Shang and the three kids along, and also some others to bring back the raw materials."

"Sure, drive the tractors over to pick up the goods when it’s time."

"They should be able to reach the county. Make sure to call the town early, inform Xing Xiangzhang, discuss with him.

Best to talk directly with the village when the time comes."
