Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Chapter 512: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 47 [Mass Release 41]

——————

Wang Chun Mei was afraid they really wouldn’t listen to advice, and even brought up the elders to threaten them.

But little did they know, teenagers hate it the most when elders are brought up to pressure them. Just like that, the youngest one burst out—

"Damn it, how many years ago was that! Sister Chun Mei, why do you still bring up that old matter!

It’s because the older generation was too timid and afraid, that our village’s men are called ’cowards, turtles’ by men from other brigades!" Zhou Guoqing immediately got angry when he heard her tone.

"I, I didn’t mean it, Guoqing don’t be mad! Hey, don’t be like this. Wait for Brother Chen to come back for the holidays, then ask him to take you up the mountain!

Besides, even if Brother Chen, his wife is capable and can hunt, you can’t involve her! She is a new bride, if she really hangs out with you, what about her reputation!"

"Ah— no wonder Aunt Chen ran off so fast just now, so it’s because of this!" Zhou Guoqing was initially very frustrated and agitated, but upon hearing Wang Chun Mei’s words, he quickly changed his tune:

"Oh, if Aunt Chen is worried about people talking and all, Sister Chun Mei you can come along too, then there won’t be any problems!"

Wang Chun Mei grew up in the countryside and is a direct cousin of Xie Jingtian, often hanging out with Xie Jingbin and the others. It can be said that the brothers here, who grew up with her, have very strong feelings for her.

Among them, there are two who want to get close to Wang Chun Mei, but this young lady always complains about her mother wanting her to go on arranged dates, after many times, she openly says how annoying it is—

Knowing that Wang Chun Mei wasn’t eager to marry early, Zhou Weimin and Xie Jingbin could only suppress their intentions, waiting for her to give the green light to speak.

It’s not to blame the Wang Family for hurrying Wang Chun Mei to marry, girls in the countryside who don’t go to school usually find a match at sixteen or seventeen, and by eighteen, they are mostly married.

There are also those whose families are really poor who get married directly at sixteen or seventeen, quite a lot of them in fact.

Although the Wang Family’s conditions are not so good, they still cherish their daughter, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to let her complete junior high school despite their poor conditions.

However, once Wang Chun Mei finished junior high, the Wang Family immediately showed intentions of finding suitors, from the age of sixteen onward, constantly mentioned until now, she had become the ’old girl’ [eighteen years old] in the mouths of the old ladies...

Wang Chun Mei didn’t understand, she was only eighteen, why was her mother always rushing her to get married? For this, she was especially angry in her heart. Moreover, she was unwilling to marry back into the countryside.

Following behind her, Xie Jingbin and Zhou Weimin also didn’t understand, why was this young lady so unwilling to get married?!

Among the group of six, the two of them were the oldest, both almost twenty. Spending a lot of time with Wang Chun Mei and after comparing the girls in the brigade, they still felt that Wang Chun Mei had a good personality.

This girl looked not bad, although short with a height of only about 1.55 meters, but she was diligent!

At just eighteen, she was already highly skilled in cooking, could work in the fields, and was capable of sewing shoes in her free time; apart from having a darker skin tone, one could say she met the standard conditions for a countryside man to marry a wife.

Wang Chun Mei had even studied up to junior high, at the years of 1979 in the countryside, her education level was really not low. There weren’t even ten high school students in the village.

Due to the change in national policy, it was just in these three, four years, they were precisely at an awkward time.

Among their group, Xie Jingbin was the only one who had completed high school, Zhou Weimin had also only reached junior high before dropping out, the family had many children, half-grown boys and girls bankrupting their father; Zhou Weimin’s family situation was as poor as Wang Chun Mei’s, both dragged down by younger brothers and sisters.

"I’ll help you." Xie Yuting helped her move the basket to the well side and, seeing that Eldest Aunt and the others hadn’t returned, he finally spoke:

"Chun Mei, you need to let go of things that should be let go. There are plenty of good men in the village, and if you really don’t like anyone here, you can pick someone from the town. Don’t wait any longer."

Wang Chunmei went pale when she heard her cousin bring up this matter, she bowed her head in silence: "..."

Some things are clear not because the truth isn’t understood, but because it’s hard to cross that ditch in one’s own heart! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

If she hadn’t seen how Yan Jinsu looked when she returned this time, she could have fantasized about how ugly or fat Yan Jinsu got, how Brother Chen would despise her, and then they would divorce, and she could pick back up her secret crush—

Such daydreams... were definitely shattered after truly seeing Yan Jinsu!

"Chun Mei, you’ve seen it yourself, how Aunt Chen’s wife looks. Forget a village girl, even girls growing up in big cities might not turn out as she does!

And look at her family background, her mother’s family has the Rong District Chief! Don’t be foolish, and don’t keep your hopes up. You must remember your friend’s fate... how that turned out!"

"Brother Ting...stop, I, I won’t do something stupid like Wang Xiuzhen!" Listening, Wang Chunmei had tears streaming down, and implored with a hoarse voice.

"Chun Mei, you grew up trailing behind me and I’ve always cared for you as if you were my own sister. I don’t want you to get hurt! If Uncle Chen had even a slight interest in you, he wouldn’t have married someone else, you..."

Seeing his cousin so heartbroken, Xie Yuting persisted with his entreaties, as among all his siblings and cousins, he cared for her the most.

Because his mother and Eldest Aunt married into Qingfeng Village one after another, and with their homes being close, the children grew up together and were particularly close.
