Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 12 - 0 No One to Help

——————

"Sigh, from what you've said, she is indeed a pitiable girl. Our entire Qingshan Team has known her family's situation for over a decade now. All because San Ni doesn't know how to flatter, she never won her parents' affection...

She is truly unfortunate, having to work from a young age. Before she even reached ten, she could work as an adult laborer. If it wasn't for her being too young, your Uncle would have actually recorded her as an adult worker that year! Such a fine girl, yet the Zhang Zhiguo household is truly heartless!

Tsks, that Lin Aiguo is known throughout our Qingshan Team for being slovenly and lazy, and even his sister isn't any good, all gaudy without a serious demeanor! I never thought their family would be interested in swapping marriages with such people..."

Zhou Xiuhua's mind was a foggy mess, absentmindedly rambling, not even sure what she was saying herself, clearly because of Zhang Shanni's abrupt arrival, which had given her quite a shock.

"Mom, what do you think about this?" Xie Jingchen glanced at his own mother speaking incoherently, his expression seemingly dissatisfied but not entirely so, prompting a puzzled voice to question.

"Mom never said she wasn't good; she's a good person, but she has no family of her own! If something happens to you, there won't be anyone to lend a helping hand!"

Zhou Xiuhua held no ill feelings towards Zhang Shanni and even before the present moment, thought that this girl was very capable, a good choice for a daughter-in-law.

But having experienced her rash act of attempting suicide by jumping into the water, allowing her to enter the Xie Family's door would stir up all kinds of gossip outside!

After all, a marriage had been discussed previously, and then there was the suicide attempt by drowning...

What mattered most was seeing the scratch marks on her son's neck, which made her uneasy, and it showed on her face. Xie Jingchen was observant of people's feelings and, seeing his mother repeatedly glance at his neck while she spoke, what else was there to misunderstand?

He didn't care one bit about this minor injury, but he still needed to coddle his own mother.

"Mom, don't worry about this little scratch, it's nothing. If I hadn't stopped her, this injury would have been on Ni's face, and as a man, I don't care about these minor external injuries. It'll heal in two days at most.

Besides, Mom, what are you worrying about? Even if it weren't Ni, the wife I take is for me alone; having her own family doesn't necessarily mean they're good. Don't you forget the annoying troubles with the family of my eldest sister-in-law and younger siblings!"

Xie Jingchen whispered to his mother's ear, truly despising his younger sibling's in-laws. Therefore, when he blurted out that he wanted to marry Zhang Shanni, he instinctively felt the need to cut off any chance for the Zhang Family to come knocking, even if it meant being the villain, he had to take precautions!

A clear trace of displeasure flitted across Zhou Xiuhua's dark complexion. Thinking of Zhang Shanni as one of the top farm workers in the team, and looking at the large gold ring on her son's hand, and her son's skewed behavior, she finally nodded in agreement:

"Alright, I'll talk to your father about this later. How do you plan to arrange the wedding banquet?"

Zhou Xiuhua was decisive. Seeing her son appearing quite satisfied with the little girl Zhang Shanni, she didn't want to play the bad guy, especially since her son had already brought the girl home, meaning there was no turning back in the matter.

Moreover, since her son had already dealt with the girl's problematic family in one fell swoop, she had even less to hesitate about.

Without hesitation, a swift decision was necessary; you can't have a girl chilling at home without proper status. This way, neither Zhang Shanni nor her own son would have an undamaged reputation.

"Mom, you make the decision. Just follow what we did for my younger brother's wedding. I've taken leave for this period and won't be back for the New Year, so please arrange as best as you can. Tomorrow, I will take Ni straight to the town to get the marriage certificate, and the day after tomorrow, no, let's hold the feast the day after that. There's not enough time and sister won't be able to make it back."

Xie Jingchen was always quick and efficient in handling matters. Having already made up his mind, he wasn't one to easily change it, a testament of his resolution, and in doing so, he also made his stance clear to his mother.

"That's true, I'll listen to you. Shitou, go to the entrance of the village to find your Dad, and mention this matter by the way; I'll add a few more words tonight, that should suffice. I'm going to see how San Ni is getting on with her chores."

Zhou Xiuhua is also a capable person. Despite her soft appearance, Xie Jingchen's temperament is very much like hers, even more resolute and decisive than Xie Tiesheng, the head of the family.

Xie Jingchen handed the gold ring he was holding to his mother, but she pushed it back to him.

Zhou Xiuhua patted her son's shoulder and shook her head, saying, "This ring is San Ni's dowry. You should keep it safe. Once it's in my hands, things could get messy! Go wash your face before finding your Dad."

With that said, she didn't bother with the confused look on her son's face and quickly turned towards the kitchen, only to see that in just half an hour, Zhang Shan Ni had not only cleaned up two wild rabbits but also put them in the pot to cook!

Her several little grandchildren, meanwhile, were sitting tidily by the stove, each holding a sweet potato and munching with relish.

"Mother." Zhang Shan Ni, seeing her future mother-in-law come in, immediately smiled sweetly and called out.

Having already spoken before, she found it much easier now to call her 'Mother.' Comparatively, she'd much prefer to call Xie Jingchen's mother that instead of Lin Zhaodi.

At least in the original owner's memory, Aunt Zhou was not a bad mother-in-law. Her sister-in-law and brother-in-law who had become acquainted with her through a few meetings and been married into the Xie Family for several years had never heard a bad word said about Aunt Zhou.

Compared to Lin Zhaodi, Aunt Zhou was simply a good person!

"Aye." Zhou Xiuhua responded promptly, ushering the younger grandchildren out of the kitchen, then stood by Zhang Shan Ni, watching as she periodically lifted the lid and stirred to prevent the rabbit meat and potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

"San Ni, Mother knows you're a good girl. Don't be afraid, now that you've married into our Old Xie Family, Shitou will surely treat you with all his heart!"

Thinking of her son who spent years in the military, Zhou Xiuhua felt the need to praise her son's virtues in front of Zhang Shan Ni.

The two had never met before, and although San Ni now appeared rather dark, her facial features were genuinely attractive, especially her big eyes, much like her late grandmother's, dark and glossy, giving a clear and pure impression when one was looked at by her. Moreover, San Ni was famously capable in the Qing Mountain Team!

The labor contributions of Zhang Zhiguo's household over the years were entirely supported by this young girl!

"Shitou?" That name sounded familiar; had she heard Uncle Grandpa call it before? She had wanted to call it earlier but was afraid Xie Jingchen wouldn't like it, hence she held back. After all, many people dislike their nicknames being used indiscriminately.

"Aye, Shitou is Jingchen's nickname, I'm used to calling him that."

"Mother, that's a really good name, easy to raise!" Truly indestructible!

"Indeed, Shitou was very active from birth, and I thought then that stones are the quietest, and look, he has actually settled down quite a bit. But now I wish he'd talk more, it's like asking for his life!"

"Mother, you can't blame Brother Shitou. Those in the military should do more and talk less; silent to avoid mistakes."

Especially in this unique, ancient era, to talk too much is wrong, and to do too much is also wrong; it's really oppressive.

Xie Jingchen, who has been in the military for over a decade, must have his distinctive strengths; otherwise, he would have retired or been discharged long ago.
