Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 168: On train

The two of them sat down to read the newspaper, and as she looked at the information on it, Yuanyuan wasn’t feeling very well.

Tan Shaoting made her a cup of milk tea, and now the small compartment was filled with a sweet aroma.

"Alright, just have a look and let it go."

"I know, I just can’t help it."

Yuanyuan tossed aside the newspaper, held the cup with both hands, and sipped slowly, though her brow remained furrowed.

How could she not know? She’s just upset for nothing and can’t do anything about it.

At this moment, the compartment door was pushed open, and the girl and the gentle-looking middle-aged man entered together.

Yuanyuan saw the girl sniff, then glance at the cup Yuanyuan was holding.

"Hello, I got on today with a supplementary ticket." The gentle middle-aged man said with a smile.

One doesn’t hit a smiling face, so Tan Shaoting also smiled, "Hello."

"You both look quite young, where are you headed?"

Yuanyuan would not participate in such matters, so she just took off her shoes and got on the bed.

Wu Zhiyong and Tang Linglong sat on the bench. Tan Shaoting sat on the bed chatting with them.

"We’re going to the Capital."

"From the way you speak, you’re not from the Capital, are you?"

Yuanyuan was very displeased with this middle-aged man.

"I’m from the Capital." Yuanyuan could speak the Capital dialect fluently.

At this, Wu Zhiyong chuckled. "I thought the two of you were siblings?"

Yuanyuan hated this person, "What’s it to you?"

After these words, there was silence in the compartment.

Yuanyuan looked at Wu Zhiyong. "Comrade, we don’t know each other. Of course, we should be kind to one another, but don’t you think you’re interrogating like I’m a criminal? It really makes me uncomfortable."

"Sorry, sorry. It’s my fault."

Yuanyuan furrowed her brows; this man was definitely off. If it were a normal person, they’d never say such a thing even if they weren’t confrontational. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Yuanyuan didn’t say anything else and lay down to read, deciding that if she could get a radio when she reached the Capital, she would, since it was too boring.

Tan Shaoting was absolutely protective and didn’t like others prying into his privacy.

So he didn’t say anything more, also lying down.

Now it was just Wu Zhiyong and Tang Linglong left chatting.

Listening to their conversation and the pretty girl’s laughter, it seemed like the man was deceiving the young girl.

The two sat on the bench, chatting and laughing loudly.

Yuanyuan found it uncomfortable, but knew it was their right.

So she decisively took out two cotton balls and stuffed them in her ears.

This reduced the noise considerably. Her divine sense delved into her space, manipulating the grain bags to weigh exactly one hundred pounds and two ounces, making the net weight a hundred pounds.

This way, it no longer felt annoying. There were still nearly twenty thousand pounds of wheat in the space, plenty to sell.

Then she used the same approach with the corn. It wasn’t until she felt a headache that she stopped.

In all that time, she hadn’t paid attention to what they were saying, but from the girl’s laughter, she knew they were having a good conversation.

Because of the headache, she soon fell asleep.

She was awakened by Tan Shaoting. "We’ve arrived, want to get off for a bit of exercise?"

Yuanyuan got up, of course, she wanted to. Who’d want to lie around here all the time?

Both of them got dressed and packed up their bedding.

Tang Linglong watched them with hatred.

As they left, "What’s up with Linglong? Not getting along with them?"

"It’s just that I sat on that guy’s bed that day, and when he came back, he changed his bedding and even washed the sheet I sat on."

"Haha, they’re just kids, don’t take it personally. That boy looks tall but is probably only fifteen or sixteen."

Wu Zhiyong said this, but Tang Linglong didn’t want to hear it. She thought Wu Zhiyong should be on her side, yet he was speaking well of those two.

She herself had just turned eighteen, couldn’t control her expressions, and what did Wu Zhiyong know about her? He couldn’t handle such a naïve girl?

"Linglong, you’re educated and reasonable, don’t take it to heart. If you really can’t let this go, I’ll think of a way to get back at them for you?"

Tang Linglong was a relatively simple girl; she wasn’t malicious.

So she shook her head, "It’s nothing, it’s not a big deal, just ignore them."

"Linglong, want to go out for a walk?"

"No, it’s too cold outside; I’ll just stay in the compartment and lie down, alright?"

"Then I’ll stay with you."

Tang Linglong felt pleased hearing this. So when Wu Zhiyong asked about her family situation, she told him everything.

"Linglong, I really envy you for having such a happy family, I wasn’t as fortunate. I was an orphan since childhood, and when I got married, my wife ran off with the kids."

"Brother Wu, you’re so handsome and educated. Wouldn’t it be easy for you to start over?"

Wu Zhiyong sighed, "I’ve already experienced a failed marriage, so if I were to marry again, it would have to be with someone beautiful and steady like you.

I spend my days out earning money for the family, so I naturally want someone I like."

Tang Linglong blushed. Wu Zhiyong was indeed quite good-looking with his glasses, seemed intellectual, and his job was decent, working as a buyer in a big building.

Wu Zhiyong took out a new cup from his bag, "Linglong, this is for you; it was a gift from my supplier on this trip."

Tang Linglong quickly waved her hand, "Brother Wu, there’s really no need, I have something I use."

Wu Zhiyong grabbed Tang Linglong’s hand and placed the cup in it, "Just take it."

Tang Linglong, with her face flushed, gently tried to pull her hand away but couldn’t. Her face turned even redder.

Wu Zhiyong, looking at such a Tang Linglong, spoke more sensually, "Linglong, just take it. Even though we’re not in the same city, if I had more good things, I’d give them all to you."

Tang Linglong’s face was blazing red. An eighteen-year-old girl too has a longing heart, and now Wu Zhiyong had already moved her, so she wasn’t thinking anymore about him being fifteen years her senior.

"Linglong, you’re really beautiful, the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen."

A young girl who hadn’t experienced much of the world, how could she not be moved by such sweet words? But given this conservative era, she just blushed and allowed the man to hold her hand.

Tan Shaoting’s divine sense had been monitoring the compartment, mainly because he didn’t have a good impression of this man. Seeing his actions, he was utterly speechless.

"Yuanyuan, take a look at the compartment."

Yuanyuan also witnessed the scene, wow, it was quite sensational.
