Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 376 - 372: Yes, Reap the Benefits!

——————-

There you go, Zhou Zhenghui ignored it, procrastinating until he was twenty-eight years old.

Now, among his cousins, even the youngest one has a girl he likes and is close to getting a marriage certificate, while he, as the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, is still single...

The younger uncles in the Zhou family all have grandsons, with the eldest already in elementary school, yet Zhou Zhenghui, the primary heir, is still single. How could his mom not be anxious?

But no matter how anxious Mrs. Zhou gets, it’s useless since Zhou Zhenghui has no interest in romance, blind dates, or getting trapped into marriage.

In the compound, it’s quite a spectacle to have a Crown Prince who’s still unmarried at twenty-eight.

Every time the New Year rolls around and the family gathers, getting Zhou Zhenghui married is the top priority for the Zhou family. Unfortunately, it’s only Mrs. Zhou who’s singing a solo, with Mr. Zhou barely on board. Expecting Zhou Zhenghui to willingly nod in agreement?

Haha, Mrs. Zhou has given up hope entirely and just keeps thinking that as long as her son doesn’t end up like the Xia family’s second son, bringing home a male bride, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief!

There’s no helping it, especially since Zhou Zhenghui does have a capable male secretary: Wan Song.

Not getting married is one thing, but if it turns out to be a same-sex marriage, Mrs. Zhou feels sick just thinking about it.

At this point, if it’s a woman, Mrs. Zhou would be thanking the heavens. Who would even criticize Zhou Zhenghui’s choice of wife!

Upon hearing from Wan Song that Zhou Zhenghui has finally found someone, Mrs. Zhou was almost ready to sacrifice a chicken to the gods in gratitude!

Now that Mrs. Zhou knows her son’s partner is a woman, she’s completely satisfied.

As for family background and conditions, the Zhou family really isn’t lacking.

And for someone to catch her discerning son’s eye, first and foremost, her appearance mustn’t be bad. Mrs. Zhou believes this without a doubt, how could her increasingly devilish son settle for someone unappealing?

Secondly, her temperament must be really good. After all, Little Tiantian is around her son. That clever sprite would openly call her ’little aunt’ if she wasn’t truly accepting of her future daughter-in-law?!

With these two points, Mrs. Zhou has wholeheartedly accepted this future daughter-in-law.

She speaks of it with sorrow—other people’s grandsons are already old enough to fetch soy sauce, while she doesn’t even know where her own grandson is.

Not just Mrs. Zhou, but the entire Zhou family is eagerly waiting to meet Zhou Zhenghui’s partner. They’re all curious to see who this exceptional person is that has caught the eye of the devilish Zhou Zhenghui.

Therefore, Xie Jingzi is still unaware that the Zhou family’s expectations for the future Mrs. Zhou Changsun are very low, her current distress is of no concern to them.

As for Zhou Zhenghui, he has been waiting downstairs for a while, and only after confirming that the light was extinguished did he slowly start walking back.

And Little Tiantian? With Wan Song here, there’s no need for him to worry.

While the Xie family members have all fallen asleep amid their tossing and turning, elsewhere, Xie Jingwei and his wife are having a sleepless night.

This time, Xu Xiaofen’s maiden family caused trouble again.

By rights, Xu Xiaofen’s maiden family only consisted of Xu Xiaodi’s household, as the elders were no longer alive. If the husband and wife were both united in heart and effort, life could definitely be very harmonious and beautiful.

But against expectations, Xiaodi was someone whose aspirations exceeded his abilities, and the wife he married was lazy and shameless. Once these two collaborated, they truly exemplified the essence: Without shame, one can be invincibly vile.

Living in the same village meant that the little brother-in-law would bring his wife and children to freeload from time to time, a point Xie Jingwei didn’t even want to mention anymore.

But that brother-in-law had the nerve to come over with his family at night and actually suggest that he, as the brother-in-law, needed to go back and lend a hand with their five acres of land!

Hah, if it were truly just lending a hand, Xie Jingwei wouldn’t be so worried. But based on previous years’ practice, how was that just lending a hand? It was practically treating him as if he was a permanent laborer for the Xu Family!

In previous years, with many people in the family, even if they had a large number of acres, with all the men present, they would take time to come back for the summer and winter harvests. It wasn’t too exhausting – thus helping the mother-in-law with harvesting was a son-in-law’s duty, and he wouldn’t say much but simply get to work.

But now, although the Xie family hadn’t completely split up, they had already divided the land and houses.

Now, just on the Boss’s side, they had three acres from the division, and they also cleared an additional three acres, giving them six altogether.

Feeling it was insufficient, neither he nor his wife was lazy. Not only did they take over managing the family’s five acres, but they also cleared an additional three acres and planted some sweet potatoes since they were relatively easier to manage without needing much attention, and it kept the land occupied.

Planting sweet potatoes to occupy fallow land wasn’t something unique to them; the villagers did the same.

In this manner, just counting the good farmland, there were eight acres and only two strong workers, plus two teenage sons; it was indeed a heavy burden. Only their seven-year-old daughter was able to do what she could, like feeding the chickens, collecting firewood, and watering the land in their courtyard...

To put it unpleasantly, even the Xie Family’s seven-year-old daughter had to lend a hand, and here his twenty-something-year-old brother-in-law was, still wanting to sit idle at home... what was the phrase...

That’s right, living off others’ labor! Where does he think such cheap deals exist in the world!

Anyway, Xie Jingwei wasn’t a fool; even if he had to help, it would only be after he had finished his own family’s work before helping the Yue family!

Not to mention whether he had any complaints, just seeing his seven-year-old daughter, Xiao Wu, being worked to the bone by his wife, Xiao Yi and Xiao’er were already quite resentful – but since they saw their own mother was indeed exhausted to the extremes, working non-stop, they clenched their teeth and endured it.

He personally witnessed his two teen boys working more capably than that little brother-in-law!

Xiao Yi and Xiao’er, the two brothers, in order to reduce their little sister’s household chores, used all their spare time after school to help with the farming!

This was really...

Because of this trouble from the Yue family, Xie Jingwei had grown agitated enough, plus all the heavy work being done by him, a grown man in the home, made him extremely physically tired.

As his wife, she did not sympathize with her own family members, instead repeatedly indulged her brother, who was inadequate at doing good but excelled at causing harm. After too many issues, even her father had opinions – how could he, merely a ’brother-in-law’, not?

Xie Jingwei felt that he had practically become the Xu Family’s ’grandson’ rather than just a ’brother-in-law’, and had no mood left to pay attention to his wife beside him, waiting for his stance – as for whatever complaints Xu Xiaofen had, they weren’t considered complaints anymore.

At this moment, sorting out his priorities, Xie Jingwei turned around, sank into his pillow, and instantly fell into a deep, restful sleep.

Leaving Xu Xiaofen alone, staring wide-eyed at her husband’s broad back, feeling a profound bitterness in her heart, and thinking in silence until the break of dawn...
