Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 040 The Destiny That’s Meant to Be

——————

The mess at the Zhang Family was hastily concluded with the interference of the Old Village Chief.

Zhang Shan Ni hadn’t expected that this morning, Zhang Dongliang had actually managed to obtain the marriage certificate before her and Xie Jingchen.

While her family’s house was being smashed, she and her freshly minted husband were hunting in the mountains. Of course, even if she had known at the time, she wouldn’t be idiotic enough to meddle in her unscrupulous biological parents’ mess.

Ever since Zhang Shan Ni learned there was a sewing machine in the mother-in-law’s room, she had been making clothes there.

In the following days, the Xie Family really did get busy. Close kin from the same branch all came over; men borrowed tables, stools, bowls, and chopsticks from each house, while women cleaned and washed the borrowed items, and also planned for vegetables to be picked the day after tomorrow and the meat and ingredients to be purchased, and so on.

That evening, relatives who stayed to help were even more sincere in their smiles when they saw the Xie Family bringing out a fatty rabbit and a plump hedgehog for dinner.

Zhang Shan Ni occasionally caught glances of her annoyed mother-in-law and her own little heart trembled. As for why the mother-in-law was annoyed, she roughly figured out the reason after combining the memories of the original body—

In the countryside, red or white events are usually assisted by the family’s brothers and sisters-in-law, and kin from the same branch.

However, at Xie Tiesheng’s house, even though they had married three wives, only the eldest wife was at home now, and she looked so troubled that it seemed as if her maternal family’s impending funeral was written all over her face, inadvertently causing dissatisfaction among all the elder aunts and elder sisters-in-law who came to help.

The new bride was supposed to be the second son’s wife, and although she had already entered the household, she was hiding inside the house and no one dared to say anything, after all, she was still considered a new bride.

But for Uncle’s newly married wife, the fact that the legitimate third son’s wife and fourth son’s wife didn’t come back to help was really unreasonable!

Even if they couldn’t help, sitting by the side and welcoming guests would have been good. At times like these, daughters-in-law should listen to their mothers-in-law. The elder aunts and aunts-in-law didn’t dare to say much in front of the head of the household, but when gathered together to work, their hands didn’t stop, and at the same time, they quietly gossiped.

The central theme of their discussion was: It’s unreasonable for your own uncles and sisters-in-law, and co-wives not to come back to help, leaving these sisters-in-law and elder mothers from the same branch exhausted!

Xie Jingchen, with sharp ears, had long heard the discussions and gossip of those elder sisters-in-law and young wives. No matter how much he had on his mind, he really couldn’t say anything at this moment. On one hand, these were all women’s matters; on the other hand, they were after all the wives of the Xie Family.

For the sake of his family’s face, he simply entertained the same branch’s uncles and brothers with the freshly hunted game, and he himself was busy running wherever needed, non-stop.

Zhang Shan Ni continued sewing clothes, while using her spiritual power to keep tabs on the situation in the yard, and also learned about the things that the elders were grumbling about in secret. But what could she do about it?

Not to mention herself as the new bride, even Zhou Xiuhua could only be annoyed in her heart, because after all, it was her daughters-in-law who lacked understanding. It was well deserved to be talked about!

In the eyes of Zhou Xiuhua and Xie Tiesheng, these daughters-in-law were openly slapping their faces, completely humiliating the Old Xie Family [Xie Tiesheng]!

Zhang Shan Ni used her spiritual power to see that her father’s face was darkened, and her mother-in-law had a face full of trouble. She hurriedly called Xiao Si and a few young ones over, asking them to wash their little hands clean. She then cut some square pieces of white paper, about the size of a palm, demonstrating by example and had the children help make ’cigarettes’.
