Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 037 Secretly Crossing the Wei River

——————

"Mother, it’s not that I don’t want Xiao Mei to marry well, but these are my circumstances laid bare, and our family’s conditions are not that great either. Without Xiao Mei, our branch of the Lin Family might just wither away!"

This was a very realistic problem. If the starting point considered the future of his sister, then the prospects of this old man with mediocre morals to ever get a wife were nil!

Without a wife, where would sons come from?

Sometimes, people not caring for themselves deserved divine punishment! All he wanted was a warm bed to share with a wife and children!

Lin Aiguo, seeing his elderly mother crying incessantly, felt extremely frustrated. After pacing back and forth several times, he finally suppressed the annoyance and hesitation in his heart, and gently and soothingly comforted:

"Mother, after all, that is the wealthiest household in Shanglin Village. Although that man is a bit unclear-headed, he’s not completely foolish, just a bit simple! It wouldn’t be too bad for our little sister to marry over there."

That individual from He Family might be a bit foolish but his family was wealthy. Marrying off his sister there meant she wouldn’t suffer from poverty and she could even help support our family - of course he would choose a rich household.

Of course, the main thing was their daughter, whom he had secretly checked out. Although her looks were not much different from Zhang Shan Ni, she was indeed very timid.

"Wu... mother is useless, do whatever you think is best!" Mrs. Lin really couldn’t think of any better solution. Between her son and daughter, she could only bitterly sacrifice her daughter for a healthy daughter-in-law.

In her heart, her son was much more important than her daughter!

At this moment, the mother and son finally reached an agreement, but they were unaware that Lin Aimei, who was supposed to be cleaning up the kitchen, was staring with hatred at this hypocritical pair!

Lin Aimei too, had once defended her big brother, but reality had slapped her painfully. Even she, being the little sister, ended up being dragged down by her brother, unable to marry even at twenty. Wasn’t she also angered by this selfish mother and son?

Lin Aiguo was the son, but was she, Lin Aimei, not also a daughter? Why should her happiness be sacrificed to fulfill her unscrupulous brother?

Besides, if even his own little sister despised Lin Aiguo, would others be real fools?

Lin Aimei was no fool. After hearing such a major matter, she harbored secret resentment but still furiously washed the dishes and quietly returned to her room as usual. Mrs. Lin saw this but said nothing. After all, it had been discussed in the village all day long, and her daughter, being perceptive, must have understood the situation.

However, since the Zhang Family had not yet come to break off the engagement, Mrs. Lin found it hard to discuss it with her daughter. But the engagement was doomed, and without saying, her daughter understood it too.

Lin Aimei returned to her room, pacing back and forth anxiously.

She could no longer heed the words of her mother and brother; otherwise, she might be sold without even knowing how she died!

She believed she was good-looking and hard-working, so why was fate so harsh on her?

Eventually, Lin Aimei steeled her resolve and started to plan. She put on all her clothes and packed the savings she had secretly collected over the years. Then, taking advantage of the still bright sky, she secretly left Old Lin Village.

Ever since she was engaged to Zhang Dongliang, she avoided her family and secretly communicated with Zhang Dongliang, taking a risky path. Although it was a bit unsafe, it was not dark yet, and Lin Aimei, emboldened, impulsively made her way to the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family had just finished dinner, and Zhang Dongliang was about to lie on the bed when he heard a cat’s meow outside the backyard intermittently. His heart leapt with joy, immediately knowing that his betrothed had come.
