Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 134 Decision

This time, all five siblings furrowed their brows.

"Comrade, I’ll be eighteen by New Year." Zhao Qingjie thought he should be eligible.

"You can, I’ll make an exception for you. The remaining three girls can’t go."

"Comrade, let us discuss this. What procedures do my sisters need if they want to go together?"

"You’ll need a certificate from the brigade."

"Alright, we understand. The two of us will register first. If we’ve discussed and decided to go, we’ll come back tomorrow or the day after."

"Sure, there’s time. You can go anytime. It’s best if you go after the New Year. The place is already frozen now, so it’d be just suffering from the cold there."

Before leaving, Su Yuanyuan had told Zhao Yanli, if there were difficult things in the county, she should look for blacksmith Yang.

So the five siblings left. "Big brother, Yuanyuan told me, if there’s trouble in the county, to ask blacksmith Yang.

Big brother, I actually want to be with Su Yuanyuan. I feel if I’m with her, we won’t be at a loss. As for our winter melons, let’s find a way to ask blacksmith Yang and sell them all. After all, we’re eating the village’s food now, we won’t starve. Even if we three sisters can’t go with you, you two should have money in hand."

The other two sisters nodded after hearing the youngest sister’s words.

"Let’s all go to Jiangbei together and have a good life there. When they grow old, we can bring them over." said the eldest, Zhao Qingxiang.

The five siblings inquired a bit. It took them a while to find Old Yang’s house.

Currently, only Old Yang and the second apprentice were left there; the second apprentice was a child he had taken in, and the rest had gone back.

Seeing the five kids coming in, Old Yang was momentarily stunned.

Zhao Yanli spoke, "Uncle Yang, we’re from Jue Mountain. I’m quite close with Su Yuanyuan. Before she left, she told me if I had any difficulties in the county, to come find you."

"Oh. You five, come in and have some water."

Everyone sat inside. "What’s the matter?"

"Uncle Yang, we want to go to Jiangbei to find Su Yuanyuan. We don’t know if you can help arrange for us to be with her?"

"Go to Jiangbei? That’s not an easy place."

"Uncle Yang, no matter how difficult it is there, we’re willing. It’s just more tiring, but it’s better than being angry at home."

Zhao Yanli explained some family situations, "Uncle Yang, we’re thinking of going there, and when my parents get older, we’ll bring them over too."

Old Yang shook his head, "You’re still too young. It’s much harder there than at home. Every adult going there needs fifty acres of land. You also have tasks to accomplish. If you fail, there’s no pay. But the only benefit now is you can get food tickets."

"Uncle Yang, we’ve made up our minds. My second brother and I have already registered. The three of them aren’t old enough; it’s not allowed.

They told us to get certificates from the brigade.

We know life isn’t easy there, but we’ve resolved to go."

Old Yang looked at this young man and sighed, "Alright then, go get the letters. If it works out, I’ll talk for you; it’s possible."

"Uncle Yang, we have over eighty winter melons, all planted by Su Yuanyuan on the mountain. She told us if we couldn’t find food, to go pick them. We’ve picked them all and thought, leaving them for our parents is just benefiting others. Now that we’re eating communal food, we won’t starve, so we want to sell them."

"So many winter melons?"

"Yes. We were wondering if you have a way?"

"You need to be clear, maybe in the future even if you want to buy them, you may not be able to."

All five siblings nodded, believing there should still be winter melons on the mountain; even if not, they wanted to sell them all.

"Alright, I’ll go pick them up tomorrow morning."

Zhao Qingxiang furrowed his brows, "Uncle Yang, that way people will find out. You’ve been to our village, and you know there’s a big pit before entering. Let’s meet there; I’ll wait for you."

Old Yang nodded. "I won’t shortchange you on the winter melons, seventy cents each for you."

The five siblings did not expect to get so much money, and they nodded immediately.

They rested a while there before heading home.

Along the way, they discussed how to get their parents’ agreement.

Zhao Yanli gritted her teeth, "I’ll be the one to talk."

Zhao Qingxiang shook his head, "Let’s all five go. You three should also think about it; conditions over there must be very harsh, and it’s an unfamiliar place. You three are still girls."

Zhao Yanli didn’t wait for her two sisters to say anything and immediately asserted, "I’m definitely going. I’d rather die from exhaustion than anger."

The other two sisters nodded. They knew all five siblings were gambling and didn’t know what the future held.

Halfway through, Zhao Qingxiang had everyone eat some vegetable cakes, feeling too weak to walk back home.

When they got home, dinner had already ended. Han Lixia still brought back some food for the kids, not knowing what they were up to.

"I made you some vegetable cakes and porridge, quickly go eat." Even though they regarded men as paramount, they still cherished their kids, but none of the men were more important than them in her heart.

The five sat down to eat, as they were extremely hungry. They even finished the vegetable cakes.

Having already discussed it on the way, after eating, they entered their parents’ room.

Zhao Tian was smoking, and saw the five kids coming in.

"Dad, we went to the county today, and Qingjie and I have registered to go to Jiangbei."

"No, you can’t go. Life’s too hard there."

Zhao Yanli held back her anger and said nothing.

"Dad, life’s hard at home too. This is also a way out. Besides, we’ve already registered, we can’t not go."

Zhao Tian got angry, "You’ve grown up, wings hardened. Go, just go."

Zhao Yanping also spoke up, "Dad, the three of us sisters want to go with them. But since we’re not old enough, we need certificates from the brigade."

"Xiao Ping, you girls absolutely cannot go. It’s too far." Han Lixia worriedly looked at her three daughters upon hearing this. She knew that once registered to go to Jiangbei, there’s no turning back. So, for the two sons wanting to go, they had no way around it. But the daughters could absolutely not go.

"Mom, we’ve all discussed it; we want to go with big brother."

"You’re just going to leave us behind?" Zhao Tian asked softly.

Zhao Yanli couldn’t hold back anymore, "Don’t you have your big brother, your nephews, and nieces?

Since I can remember, we always had to yield to them; all the good stuff was theirs. Back then, grandma and grandpa favored them as well, and we five siblings had nothing."
