Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 035: First Meeting with Sister-in-law Xu Xiaofen

——————

"This must be the younger sister-in-law," the woman, Xu Xiaofen, hooked up the corner of her mouth with a gentle tone of courtesy.

But it was indeed ’good’, why get married at any other time but when her mother was gravely ill, it was simply heart-wrenching!

Most importantly, this woman had attempted suicide by jumping into the river and was ultimately ’bought’ back by the youngest brother as a wife, which was utterly disgraceful!

Although she was dissatisfied with the youngest brother getting married at this time, he was indeed old enough, so she didn’t have much to nitpick. Thinking about it, his choice of such a shameless woman as a wife was actually better for her, so she could uphold the dignity of an elder sister-in-law!

If he had truly brought home a girl from the city, as the elder sister-in-law, she would have had to bend over backwards for a younger woman, which would have been genuinely unbearable!

"Little girl, this is your elder sister-in-law," Xie Jingchen turned around and pulled his young wife over, introducing her to his elder sister-in-law.

"Hello elder sister-in-law, my name is Zhang Shanni," Zhang Shanni’s smile remained on her face, but as she looked at the elder sister-in-law before her, her gaze was calm and without ripples, unlike the natural warmth she felt when calling Zhou Xiuhua.

Seeing Xie Jingchen deal with his elder sister-in-law with just a perfunctory manner, the sincerity in her eyes faded slightly, but she did not make it blatantly apparent.

As a superpower user with spiritual power, she had a natural animal instinct towards people’s emotions. Even when she had just transmigrated and was reborn, she instinctively clung to Xie Jingchen without letting go, because her instinct told her this young man would not hurt her.

Even the emotions towards Mrs. Xie and Father Xie stemmed from the ’clean’ aura of the two persons themselves, and even the young nephews, in her view, were mostly pure and proper.

The only person at this very moment, the young woman before her, gave her a very subtle feeling. Therefore, on the surface, Zhang Shanni maintained the same smile, but inwardly, her hackles were raised, instinctively on guard.

Xie Jingchen standing next to her only felt a numbness in his head, instinctively protecting his young wife behind him. Sensing no danger or hostility nearby, he frowned slightly and glanced at his elder sister-in-law before turning to his mother and saying:

"Mom, on our way back with Ni, we hunted a few wild animals on Qingfeng Mountain, some fresh game to enhance our meal."

Xie Jingchen took the game out of the bag, and put the large male deer aside. Hearing a low exclamation from his elder sister-in-law, he just smiled and handed the two smaller ones to her, "Elder sister-in-law, if you have time, dress these two smaller ones. We can have them for dinner tonight. I’ll deal with that male deer later."

In contrast to the politeness of the third son, Zhou Xiuhua straightforwardly gave orders to the wife of the eldest son of the Xie Family: frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"The eldest’s family, get these game animals prepared. Later tidy up things in the courtyard; we’re going to host a banquet tomorrow, so be quick about it."

Seeing the wife of the third son getting ready to take things out of the cloth bag, she hurriedly grabbed it and glared at the clueless little aunt, pulling Zhang Shanni as she was leaving, still instructing the eldest son’s wife about tasks to be done.

"I understand." Xu Xiaofen forced a reluctant smile, anyone would feel upset seeing their mother-in-law’s defensive expression, but she obediently replied in a humble tone.

Zhang Shanni, who was monitoring Xu Xiaofen with spiritual power 360°, frowned and was pulled back into the room by her mother-in-law.

Xie Jingchen chuckled to himself watching his mother’s actions, but did not follow, instead taking the male deer to the well, efficiently dressing it. This left the woman who wanted to grumble no choice but to keep her annoyance to herself.

After hastily preparing the game, Xie Jingchen returned to the left wing to prepare a hot bath for his young wife to dispel any ill luck, not caring about the elder sister-in-law’s thoughts—as it wasn’t his business anyway.

"What all did you buy?" Zhou Xiuhua directly pulled Zhang Shanni back to the main room of the left wing. Seeing neatly stacked bedding on the kang and couch, each placed in a corner, it was clear the couple had not shared a room last night. Her heart was both satisfied and dissatisfied. Ah well, grandchildren have their own fortunes. Having a rational daughter-in-law like Zhang Shanni is better than those like Si’er and Wu’er!

"Mom, sit down, let’s look together." Saying this, Zhang Shanni pulled her mother-in-law to sit on the kang, while she herself stood by the kang’s edge and began to take out the items they had bought, filling the space between them on the kang.
