Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 3 - 00 Unfair Favoritism

```

——————

"Fine, then you go and call off this marriage right now!" Zhang Hongqiang's rough hand, holding a wooden cane, forcefully knocked on the ground, interrupting Zhang Zhiguo's words, and bellowed at him loudly.

"This, this, uncle, this marriage was already arranged a few days ago, and moreover, it's a bride-exchanging marriage. If we call off San Ni's marriage, what will happen to Dongliang!" Upon seeing her husband not stepping up, Lin Zhaodi hurriedly went forward, laughing as she tried to explain the situation, determined to marry a daughter-in-law no matter what. As for Zhang Shanni's life after marriage, she hadn't considered it at all.

"Damn it, you, you're breaking the law! The state promotes freedom of marriage, and you're not only arranging marriages, but also selling your daughter to get a daughter-in-law!"

Someone in the back of the crowd pinched their throat and bellowed coarsely, starting a bit slow but then belting out smoothly.

"That's right, San Ni is such a nice girl; as parents, you can't be so biased, heaven is watching!"

The kind-hearted old woman who had spoken out earlier gave another piece of friendly advice.

Who doesn't know that the girls from the Zhang family were married off in splendor?

Why is it that when it comes to the most well-behaved San Ni, she has to be sold off by the pound?

"I, I will not marry, I'd rather die! If you dare, carry my corpse there, and see if you can exchange it for your precious daughter-in-law!"

Yan Jinsu was truly enraged now, having sorted out the original owner Zhang Shanni's family mess; she couldn't help but think that marrying the sloppy old man she had just glimpsed was utterly pointless!

To think that before her rebirth, she was the cannon fodder sacrificed by her ex-husband in an accident, just for the sake of his cheap son.

Her ex-husband did not hesitate to throw her out to rescue others and face danger!

After all, it was his only son, and he was too panicked at the time and threw her out. Frankly, she wasn't angry. If it were her own son, she might have been even more ruthless than her ex-husband!

She felt that it was a good ending, at last, she didn't have to maintain a facade, hypocritically dealing with their so-called deep father-son relationship, the little mistress peeping around—truly a relief.

But she didn't expect that she had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's lair!

The parents of the body she had been reborn into, completely disregarded the fact that Zhang Shanni was their biological daughter, just to marry a daughter-in-law who suited their son's wishes, they had sold her to a sloppy old idler over thirty years old, and even hunchbacked!

According to the original owner's memories, even without meritorious service, the original owner had gone through hardships—treating Zhang Shanni like this, their conscience must have been eaten by a dog!

"San Ni, don't be so reckless!" Zhou Dahu [Aunt, the Old Village Chief's wife] shouted loudly and anxiously, seeing that Zhang Shanni really was about to rush into the water again, she hastily yelled out in panic!

"Comrade, be careful!" Xie Jingchen, who had been background scenery for the better half of an hour, finally realized what was happening and shouted out as he saw the girl's resolute actions.

With a slight move and a block, he stopped the girl who wanted to rush into the pond and instead rushed into his arms, holding her tightly and immediately wrapped her coat, which was about to fall off, even more tightly around her.

The young man successfully restrained the struggling girl and said irritably, "Calm down, acting impulsively won't solve any problems!"

Seeing that the little girl gradually calmed down and stopped struggling for death, he then released his hands and gently pressed down on her small shoulders.

Yan Jinsu was startled by the low and loud bellowing and looked at the young man in front of her, a bit dazed. Seeing his comforting yet determined and upright gaze, Yan Jinsu was momentarily speechless.

```

At this point, Yan Jinsu felt that she had made her intentions quite clear; her pupils widened as she obediently nodded, but her body cleverly shrank back, tucking herself behind the young man's sturdy frame.

With the sensitivity of a small animal, Yan Jinsu felt that this tall young man before her was reliable. Now she could only depend on her intuition and pray that in taking over for the original host, she would be lucky enough to find a new path in life.

Meanwhile, Yan Jinsu's inner voice was furiously cursing: Ahhh, such a terrible hand she's been dealt, damn it! If she had balls, they'd be aching now.

Seeing her comply so meekly, a flicker of surprise and... annoyance crossed the young man's mind as he noted her clinging tightly to his coat and wisely hiding behind him. A hint of amusement flashed through his large eyes.

Although he was inwardly annoyed with himself for acting so impulsively and making his stance somewhat awkward, seeing that the girl he rescued was not foolish, he still felt it was worth it.

The young man hesitated for a moment before finally saying to the dark-faced Old Village Chief, "Uncle Qiangzi, we must take this matter seriously. This is a living person's life we're talking about!"

"You are..."

Hearing the young man speak with such familiarity, Zhang Hongqiang was stunned for a long moment, his anger subsiding as he scrutinized the young man before him: the large frame, facial features with a hint of familiarity, the confident tone of voice, and most importantly, his attire...

After a long look, Zhang Hongqiang dared to confirm that this young man was none other than the famously promising second son of the Xie Family from Qingfeng Village!

It was not that his eyesight was bad, but that he truly had not seen him in several years. The last time he saw him was three or four years ago. Thankfully, the young man hadn't changed much in appearance, which allowed him to recognize him.

"You are... Shitou?! The Xie Family's second son?!" Zhang Hongqiang thought for a moment before truly confirming it, happily thumping his broad shoulder and saying with a smile.

This young man was extraordinary, reportedly having become the Commander Rong of Zhenjiang City [Note: Titles in this story are fictional and self-proclaimed; do not correlate them with reality].

His name was Xie, Xie Jingchen?!

Yes, Xie Jingchen!

"Hey, Uncle Qiangzi, long time no see. How have you been? I just got back from Zhenjiang City."

Xie Jingchen replied loudly, engaging heartily with Uncle Qiangzi, an old friend of his father, and chatted amiably for a bit. Due to the little aunt's guarded behavior, he carefully kept her partially shielded behind him as he casually talked with the elders.

Sure enough, after only a few words, he keenly noticed the little aunt's unruly mother charging straight at her, wanting to hit her. He quickly stepped back, fully shielding the little aunt behind him, and forcefully blocked the incoming vicious scratch—

"Damn San Ni, flaunting yourself like that!" Lin Zhaodi screamed as she charged forward.

In an instant, Xie Jingchen's dark, thick neck was suddenly marked with several bloody scratches.

"Oh my God, Zhang Zhiguo's, have you lost your mind!"

Exclaiming in shock, several strong women, upon realizing what happened, rushed to restrain the frenzied Lin Zhaodi. Seeing the bloody scratch marks on the young man's neck, they all felt quite embarrassed.

It's vexing for anyone to get scratched while saving someone.

"Don't stop me! I'll scratch her broom-like face so much, let's see if she dares to act uppity and bewitched then!"

Lin Zhaodi, held back by several village women, still desperately tried to breach the human wall to leave her mark on the shameless Zhang Shan Ni!
