Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 401 - 397: Truly Smart Behavior

——————

"Fool, are you still thinking about this?" Xie Jingchen doted on his little wife for her persistence in seeking thorough answers.

This is indeed smart behavior, he has nothing to be annoyed about.

"That is, in my view, besides Zhou Zhenghui being too handsome, his family background and capabilities are also good, no matter how you look at it, even if he isn’t a golden bachelor, he is still a good son-in-law candidate."

Yan Jinsu was really curious, were the men’s thoughts of this era rather peculiar?

"I see that both you and Dad are not very pleased, why is this?" This is no longer just about being dissatisfied, but it has clearly shown that they are very unhappy, okay?

"Fool, you yourself said that Zhou Zhenghui’s qualifications are good, his family background is even better and he is capable; marrying such a man, if a woman doesn’t hold much significance in his heart, have you considered the status she might have in her husband’s family?"

"Err—"

Yan Jinsu put herself in that situation and felt that if the man she chose had better conditions, could it possibly be better than herself? This kind of awareness simply does not exist...

"According to Dad’s thoughts, he might feel that such conditions for the little aunt, paired with a man like Zhou Zhenghui, would make life too tiring for her."

Even my mother was silent in the beginning, probably because she also understood that marrying into such a true aristocratic family, if the woman doesn’t have a strong family background, her status is indeed very awkward.

Most importantly, the parents must have thought of the little aunt’s reputation back in her hometown, which Xie Jingchen, being a local, understands even better— in this era, reputation is sometimes more important than life itself.

Especially for families with some background, isn’t each one demanding a match of equal social status and seeking a wise wife?

"But isn’t life something you live out yourself?" Anyway, even if they get married, they probably wouldn’t live with the extended family, right?

It’s not the period of the Republic...

"Silly girl, Zhou Zhenghui couldn’t have just popped out of a stone, right?"

"Oh..." meaning, even if Zhou Zhenghui is a good person, the little aunt still has to face the Zhou Family’s relatives in the future. Even if the marriage is not opposed, after all, Zhou Zhenghui’s age is there, it really can’t be delayed.

But no opposition to the marriage does not mean that the Zhou Family would truly and wholeheartedly accept a daughter-in-law like the Xie Family’s daughter!

"This path is the one that little aunt chose herself; no matter how hard or tiring, she can only bear it herself. I hope that Zhou Zhenghui, as a person, can treat little aunt sincerely as he appears to."

"Husband, your tone doesn’t seem quite right, little aunt is just dating now, not getting married yet; why do you sound like little aunt is going to be married?"

Yan Jinsu had a puzzled look, isn’t it just dating, one or two times, why does the tone make people nervous?

Could there be some misunderstanding on her part?

"Wife, here, dating is actually almost like being engaged; generally, before officially dating, both parties would meet each other’s parents, and if both families find it suitable and the parties have no objections, then the parents will meet and directly start discussing the wedding."

Xie Jingchen knows his little wife’s uniqueness, seeing her cute and puzzled face, he slightly tightened his grip with his hand and pulled her under his chin, smiling as he explained to her.

"Ew... so stinky!" Yan Jinsu smelled the alcohol on him, grumbling disdainfully, and then her eyes suddenly widened in realization:

"So dating is so serious, no wonder when Mom and Dad heard about dating, their faces were displeased towards Zhou Zhenghui!"

This is like telling someone in later generations, "Oh, this is my fiancé, we are dating with marriage in mind!"

Yan Jinsu nodded, ah, so dating = engaged couple, right, that makes sense, it’s just that she got directly married upon arrival, so she doesn’t understand these customs very well.

"Yup." Xie Jingchen rubbed her face, and regarding her dislike of his stench, he didn’t make any comment.

After all, he reeked of alcohol, how could his body odor not be strong?

Fortunately, his wife could also drink quite a bit. Although she complained he was stinky, it was just her saying it, not that she truly disliked it.

Yan Jinsu, having realized the truth, dropped the issue and began to discuss other matters with her husband.

"Husband, seeing that my health is nearly restored, the land you were looking for, have you found it?"

"There’s a lead; there’s one relatively further from the military area, near Rongtian Dam, but the public roads there are closer to the county town, mainly because the roads are easier to navigate."

"What else?"

"In Tongding Dam, near our military area, there’s a large and a small plot available for lease, but the roads are really bad, all rough and bumpy.

Because it’s close to the military area, there the big chief’s asking price is much higher than that of Rongtian Dam’s plot. But in fact, in terms of land size, the plot near Rongtian Dam is bigger."

"Oh, he knows how to hike the prices based on the situation." Actually, this big chief seems silly. The closer it is to the military area, many businesses cannot be established.

The area near the military zone, in fact, exists under scrutiny by the military, and if they perceive any risks, they will issue a ’notice’ directly.

Thus, the lands near the military zone are very selective in what can be done.

"Thinking too much." What you get is actually less.

"Pff, husband, it’s not nice of you, whether people are willing or not is not our business to handle. Let’s not take the one near Tongding Dam then; Rongtian Dam is not too far either, what do you think?"

"Yeah, let’s settle on that place." He originally decided on that plot; being a bit further from the military area isn’t a big issue, the main thing is it’s more convenient for his wife and family.

"Okay." Yan Jinsu had no objections.

"Wife, what are you planning to plant?" Xie Jingchen knew his wife’s plans; having wealth, farming was also good, at least parents wouldn’t always think about returning to their hometown.

"I plan to plant more fruit trees and medicinal herbs on the mountain, raise some poultry below the mountain, and set up a small fish pond below; what we eat later, we can grow or raise ourselves, and then plant some things suitable for local trade, I think we should find a family with goats first, we’ll raise a couple of goats, and eventually, we definitely need to raise cattle to replace labor, oh when will my confinement end!"

Knowing that her man wouldn’t easily make changes, Yan Jinsu planned on setting up an eco-farm; she came from the future and especially knew that around the nineties, anything that went into the mouth had its issues.

After all, she had no big ambitions, just taking good care of her family and her children, she would be very satisfied.

Seeing the children growing, she felt that it was difficult to manage dairy cows here, so using goats as a substitute was also feasible.

Yan Jinsu felt that now that they were heading into the eighties, she prepared in advance, so when the nineties came and issues like poisoned milk, rice, and vegetables surfaced, her place would already have formed a natural Mountain Villa, so what’s there to fear?
