Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 007

——————

"I...I will go back with you!"

Yan Jinsu is not foolish; after understanding Zhang Shanni's eighteen years of life experience, she knew that staying would only be worse!

Although it sounds unpleasant to be said as a wife bought for 300 coins, she was afraid that if she really stayed at Uncle Grandpa's house, her unscrupulous parents might sell her again!

Besides, in her era, 300 coins wouldn't be enough for a decent meal, but in this backward, fictional era, even the monthly salary of national leaders probably wasn't 300 coins!

Previously by the lake, she clearly heard many old ladies and young wives saying that marrying a wife usually costs only ten to twenty big silver!

Her 300 coins could splendidly marry ten daughters-in-law!

What's more, she just heard his conversation with Uncle Grandpa, he came back this time specifically to resolve the marriage issue, as he was now twenty-eight, an age where typically, in rural areas, children would already be helping with household tasks.

The most important thing was that she, after all, was bought by him for 300 big silver; it wouldn't make sense to resolve everything and then let him go back home with only a 'blessing.'

To eliminate the worries of her predecessor, she might as well resign to her fate and go back with him! This young man might look dark to her [Yan Jinsu has yet to see the original Zhang Shanni's true appearance, contributing to her perception of darkness], but at least he is upright!

He even feels responsible for her just because he saved her from the water; how incredibly kind-hearted!

Of course, this kind-heartedness implies public spirit, which is also a trait of this era, so Zhang Shanni decided then and there to make this engagement official [from now on, there was no Yan Jinsu, just Zhang Shanni]!

Though she was forced into marriage immediately upon rebirth, she thought it was quite good, at least the military marriage is very secure.

As for her genuine inner feelings, she thought it was good that this man possesses public spirit, but he shouldn't be overly nice; that she could gradually adjust later!

Moreover, she now has no interest in handsome and attractive men; she finds his upright appearance just perfect!

Besides, she lives in the present now; could she possibly seek death?

Since she plans to survive, adapting to the situation is inevitable.

In this fictional era, one could marry at eighteen, and she had no intentions of escaping. This place is not like her future world where people could marry at thirty or forty years old without anyone commenting. But in the current era, if a woman exceeds twenty years old without marrying, people will assume there's an issue with her character!

Rather than blindly marrying some unknown man eventually, she might as well make do with the promising young man in front of her! Besides, he's only twenty-eight years old, so she's actually getting a good deal! No matter how she calculated it, she wouldn't be at a loss! This marriage, must, happen, immediately!

Zhang Shanni felt she was getting a better deal, and Xie Jingchen felt the same. After all, the woman was just eighteen years old, and he was already twenty-eight, definitely a good deal!

Thus, when he heard her say she wanted to go back with him, he uncertainly asked in return:

"Are you sure? I am a military officer."

Going back with him meant becoming his wife, and then she wouldn't be able to change her mind.

But suffering from hunger too often made her somewhat sharp. At a small cave entrance in a slope forest at the end of the village, she stored some food and dried goods, which she could use as an excuse to fetch it, so it wasn't like she was truly empty-handed when going to the man's house.

After all, her situation wasn't really that great, the man was almost forced into accepting her.

Although Xie Jingchen was kind-hearted, it didn't mean his family was as warm-hearted. Even while daydreaming, she picked a relatively thicker male gold ring from a pile of 'junk' in her mental space, planning to dig it out in front of him at the cave and bring it to his house.

She could use the excuse that it was a private gift from her grandmother, because when her two sisters got married, they indeed took a gold ring to their husbands' houses, though those were female rings weighing only three or four grams. Having fully assimilated the original owner's memory, Zhang Shan Ni now had a reason to bring it out.

"I don't mind. Let's go then. It's getting late; we should head home."

Xie Jingchen felt that he had reached an understanding with Zhang Shan Ni, and took her to bid farewell to the Old Village Chief's family.

Zhang Hongqiang, seeing his older brother's granddaughter leaving in thin clothes with a man, felt deeply saddened; it was unavoidable!

Even Zhang Zhiming, her uncle, looked sad. Thankfully, the children in the family had all gone out. Otherwise, hearing about San Ni's situation, they would have made a huge fuss!

Zhang Zhiming and his wife had three sons and always favored their clever little niece more. San Ni was more genuine and simple than her two unpredictable sisters!

She was a grateful child and liked to repay kindness, which made her well-liked by everyone.

The original owner was such an honest person. If others were kind to her, she would repay them thrice over. Thus, the original owner was quite well-liked in Shanglin Village. Compared to her parents who were unpopular, Zhang Shan Ni could be said to be an anomaly in Zhang Zhiguo's house.

Even her three male cousins, who lived in the adjacent house, were very caring towards Zhang Shan Ni. It was only because the three children were all away studying and not in Shanglin Village that the event escalated to this extent.
