Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 241 The Panic-Stricken Call Arrives【-15 Updates】

——————

"What’s the matter?" Xie Jingchen sent away the realtor, and ever since he started driving, he noticed his little wife frowning her delicate brows, and asked with concern.

"Brother Chen, I really didn’t know that there are so few houses for sale now," Zhang Shanni answered gloomily.

Indeed, society is still in the stage of overcoming poverty. Nowadays, in the countryside, let alone households with tens of thousands, even those with thousands are rare. A family background like that of the Xie Family, which is at least considered a household with thousands, is actually not that common.

"It’s alright. If you really like that small western-style building, then we’ll just buy it," he said, knowing that he had a few trinkets on hand that he could sell. It might be a little short, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

"Eh?" Zhang Shanni was currently in a headache over the price of 8,800, which she really felt was a bit expensive; she thought the ceiling would be around 5,500.

But after touring the county town for half a day, she realized that her estimate was a bit low.

Especially after learning that during this period, it’s usually only the land that’s sold and houses seldom.

As she was agonizing over how to come up with the remaining money, she heard her husband’s words and snapped back to attention, murmuring in a low voice:

"Wait, Brother Chen, are you hiding something from me?" From the implication of the man’s words, it seems like he has enough money?

"Silly wife, what do you think I took risks for by going out this time?" Xie Jingchen drove while glancing at his little wife’s puffed-up cheeks. He chuckled and freed up one hand to grab her little fist in front of his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Alright, I’m the fool. So, how much did you get?" Zhang Shanni thought for a moment, and immediately came up with the word ’war spoils.’

Indeed, through ancient and modern times, those who dare to fight and gamble, war has always been a good place to make a fortune!

"It’s just some small antiques, with more than a dozen gold bars. It should be enough," Xie Jingchen thought about it. When the spoils were divided, it was done casually without anyone picking out the best pieces. Selection was based on merit, and he got to choose his share first because he had made the greatest contribution and saved his comrades’ lives several times. As such, when it came to distributing wealth, they generally gave him the lion’s share first.

"You brought them back?" Why hadn’t she seen them?

"Foolish girl, I’ll fetch them later." How could he brazenly carry them on him after a mission when it needs to be checked upon return to the military area?

"Then, Brother Chen, if I bring out some gold to sell together, would it be considered legitimate?" This is a conventional rule, and everyone knows it, so Zhang Shanni’s question was not that dull.

"Yes, that’s fine. Don’t you want to keep some for making jewelry later?" He hadn’t even bought a ring for his wife when they got married, and he felt that gold bars would come in handy. But now it seemed his wife didn’t really like gold ornaments? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Golden-orange, I don’t like it, but we can keep some for little aunt. It will be for her dowry later on, you don’t have to worry about it. Or, should we get a pair of gold earrings for Mom first?"

Her mother-in-law had small holes in her ears, but she only stuffed them with tea stalks, obviously because she had no earrings.

As for putting on her wrist, pleasing the mother-in-law with such small gifts should be done one at a time. If everything was given all at once, they wouldn’t know what to present next time.

"Okay, let’s both go take a look, and how about we get you a set while we’re at it?" There’s still plenty of time.

"No, no. I have stock of this stuff, no need to buy. Also, I really don’t like wearing gold ornaments. We have time, why don’t we go check out Xiaoqi’s school first? If it’s really that far, it won’t be convenient for exit and entry."

"It won’t be, if we buy that western-style house, we can pick a close high school for Xiaoqi," he replied. As a Rongwei Chief with a great deal of military merit accomplished this time, Plus, his superiors were in the mood to give him face, so there would be no shirking.

"We can choose?" No wonder Zhang Shanni was so naïve; she hadn’t realized that her husband’s military rank was rapidly advancing.

Logically speaking, Xie Jingchen, now a Rongwei Chief, was supposed to advance rank by rank. His next promotion should be to Rong Group Leader.
