Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

"Hehe, wife, don't worry, that kind of thing will never happen. You are the woman I love. I was able to restrain myself before, and now that I have you and the children, I will be even more careful."

Wei Kaiyun really didn't put this matter in his heart; he was very confident in himself.

These ten days, Wei Kaiyun was practically glued to Jiang Xinyu, and the little girl was changing day by day, making Wei Kaiyun unable to put her down.

"Don't hold her all the time. What if she gets used to it? Later, Aunt Bai will be the only one at home to take care of her, and she'll also have to cook, which could be too busy for her."

Wei Kaiyun reluctantly put her down. He really liked his daughter, but his wife's concerns were reasonable, too. He would have to leave in February, and there were still a few months left; the child would quickly develop habits.

"Honey, why don't we hire another person?"

Jiang Xinyu gave him a look, "Hiring Aunt Bai is already a distant relative; isn't hiring someone a landlord's way of doing things? I don't want any trouble."

Wei Kaiyun knew it too. Even the leaders were laying low now; he should indeed be cautious.

The day after tomorrow, he would be going to school. Jiang Xinyu had made new clothes for him; they were particularly loose, the chest area much larger, which he was not really used to.

The pants were also bigger; otherwise, they'd be uncomfortable.

She made the clothes pretty quickly, and also made two sets for Shi Jing.

As for Wei Kaiyun, he had to buy his own clothes. She also prepared several sets for Master Shang, but the cotton-padded ones had to be made herself.

"Wife, I'm going to take a call."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "Buy me some letter paper when you come back."

"Okay."

Wei Kaiyun answered the phone; it turned out to be Yuan Xinyun.

"It's inconvenient for you to come over here; just say it directly if there's anything."

"It's not convenient over the phone; I'll come to see you."

Wei Kaiyun really didn't want him to know about his wife's existence, but listening to his tone, he seemed to have business to discuss.

"Hmm. That's fine. Take the train over and stay directly at the hotel near the station; I'll come find you."

"Sure, I'll call you before I get on the train."

Wei Kaiyun returned home, "Wife, Yuan Xinyun is coming over."

"Is he staying here?"

"No, I let him stay at the hotel. We aren't that close."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, understanding his meaning.

"Then just pretend I don't exist."

"Okay, I got it."

On the day of school, Wei Kaiyun directly sent his wife to school, and the couple attracted many people's attention.

He watched his wife from the side, noticing that she had changed a lot, possessing a kind of mature woman's charm alongside the freshness of a young girl, and really having a great figure.

Wei Kaiyun felt increasingly uneasy inside. Being away from his wife, if there were persistent suitors, he would be too far to intervene.

Luckily, there were two children, but it wasn't particularly reassuring. He really didn't want to leave; the feeling of being unable to control his own situation was quite frustrating.

Jiang Xinyu returned to the familiar classroom and felt quite nostalgic, greeting those she was close to.

Everyone congratulated her, knowing she had a daughter, and worried that she might feel displeased; they were all a bit cautious.

Wei Kaiyun went to the meat shop to buy meat; their family's meat stamps were really not enough, and he had to trade for it himself.

Shang Zhenkun was a man who couldn't live without meat, and it didn't matter much; besides, his wife also needed nourishment, so Wei Kaiyun bought willingly.

Three days later, after sending his wife to school, he went directly to the hotel to find Yuan Xinyun.

"Xiao Wei."

"Director Yuan."

"Why still call me Director Yuan? I'm nothing now. But you haven't changed; I feel like you've gotten younger."

"That's an exaggeration. I don't know what Director Yuan wants from me?"

"You can just call me Old Yuan."

"Alright."

"Xiao Wei, I'm here to ask if you can contact someone above. I've had enough of staying here."

"I can't contact the people above; they're laying low now. It's almost a hands-off situation, so I really can't do it."

"How was your situation handled?"

Oh, it's because of this? Yuan Xinyun was really trying anything in desperation.

"I was just suddenly told by a few people that it was okay, and I could go back."

"Then why aren't you going back?"

"It's a personal matter. I'll have to leave in a few months as well."

"Sigh! What to do now? It's really hard to stay here," Yuan Xinyun sighed.

"Just settle down; there's no other way but to wait."

Actually, even if Yuan Xinyun waited, there would be no hope. His offense was different; the person above especially hated messing around with relationships, and his chances of standing out were very small.

"Xiao Wei, I actually know, I'm just hoping against hope. But I can't go on. Because of a woman, I now have nothing."

"Isn't Secretary Tong with you?"

Yuan Xinyun shook his head. "She hates me too much to stick with me peacefully."

This matter was something Wei Kaiyun couldn't comment on much. He knew their situation; Tong Mingzhu was indeed forced, and Yuan Xinyun was truly detestable. Now he's left with a broken family—a due payback.

"Xiao Wei, there's no chance of me going back, right?"

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Sigh! I understand. Xiao Wei, I have a request—to see if my eldest can work at the textile factory. He's already sixteen and doesn't like studying. Please help me."

Wei Kaiyun nodded, "No problem; I'll look for them when I go back. They are living with my sister-in-law, so I rarely hear about them."

"Yes, I'll give you the address where they're living. They don't reply to my letters, so I don't know their current situation." After saying this, Yuan Xinyun sighed again.

"Is this the only thing? Can't you deal with it over the phone?"

"I just used this opportunity to come out; life is too depressing. Mingzhu doesn't pay attention to me now either."

It's because I wasn't good to her before, and now I regret it.

Xiao Wei, it's better not to start a family; look at how much fewer worries you have."

"Everyone has their own difficulties; you should stay a few more days, and I'll treat you to a meal later."

"I've already bought my ticket for tomorrow noon; I can't leave Mingzhu alone at home."

Yuan Xinyun knew Tong Mingzhu wanted to get rid of him now. He initially wanted another child, but that woman hated him so much she said she would abort the pregnancy if it occurred.

This was also the main reason he wanted to go back; he thought Mingzhu despised him because he had lost his power.

"I'll treat you to some drinks at noon; let's not go out. I'll get the food, you wait for me."

Wei Kaiyun went home to get three lunch boxes and explained he wouldn't be back for lunch today. Then he went out to buy food and wine.

Wei Kaiyun didn't drink now; he just watched Yuan Xinyun drink one cup after another, knowing he was indeed miserable.
