Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 4 - 00 Must Be at Least Three Hundred

——————

Xie Jingchen was truly displeased, his face turned serious and his originally warmly smiling square face suddenly turned as cold and hard as ice. His displeased gaze fixed on Lin Zhaodi, he muttered to himself darkly: Could this crude and brash old woman really be a stepmother?!

What kind of birth mother would curse her own daughter to die, and also scold her as promiscuous and 'broom face'?

Moreover, if those claws really scratched the young girl behind her, her face would likely be ruined! Is she trying to disfigure her?

However, based on the rumors he had heard before, this crude and brash woman was indeed the birth mother of the little aunt he had rescued.

"Stop this nonsense, from the Zhi Country's family, do you want me to divorce you back to your old Lin family?!"

Zhang Hongqiang's anger, which had just subsided, flared up in an instant. He, who usually didn't want to get involved with family matters, pointed his fingers and scolded angrily, seeing her indifferent as if a dead pig not fearing boiling water, he turned his head to Zhang Zhiguo and said:

"Zhiguo, do you still consider yourself a member of the Zhang family? If you do, then immediately send this crazy woman back to her parents' house. We, the Zhang family, cannot afford such a daughter-in-law! Otherwise, give San Ni to my family for adoption, you don't love her, but I adore her!"

Lin Zhaodi was startled by Zhang Hongqiang's words, but after hearing the latter part, she immediately forgot her fear and snapped back unkindly with her big mouth quicker than her brain:

"Old uncle, you shouldn't say that. After all, I've raised San Ni until she's eighteen, just when I can receive her dowry and recover the costs. How could I possibly give her up for adoption to you? She's a piece of flesh that fell from my womb!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhaodi instantly got annoyed with this old uncle who always acted superior, and, no longer afraid of the Old Village Chief, she waved away the co-wife blocking her and yelled back loudly.

He's just an uncle by relation, not her own father-in-law, what right does he have to pressure her constantly!

Originally, she had a good plan; as long as she ruined this wench's black face, and see if she still had the face to say no to marriage!

Hmph, if not for relying on her good looks, she would have directly destroyed them!

For her only precious son, this undesired good-for-nothing daughter, Lin Zhaodi didn't care about her future or her life at all!

If she has to die, let her be married into the Zhang family and then die!

Thinking this, Lin Zhaodi became even angrier, her face twisted grotesquely as she glared at Zhang Shanni.

Noticing Lin Zhaodi's expression, the villagers felt a chill in their hearts. This woman from the Zhi Country's family is too malicious! Whatever she was thinking was blatantly clear on her face, obvious even without guessing!

"You, you this immoral poison woman, even as a birth mother you are more poisonous than a stepmother!" Zhou Dahu pulled San Ni behind her, shocked and indignantly reprimanding her niece in law.

"Tsks, what audacity! How come you all aren't saying that it's your old undying selves who are behaving like bandits? What adoption?! Ridiculous, what a big joke, it's not like you don't have sons to send you off in your old age, why do you want to compete with me for my daughter? She is my flesh and blood, raised by me. You all really look too ugly in this!" Lin Zhaodi sharply yelled back.

Her stance seemed to explicitly suggest that the Old Village Chief and his wife were only interested in San Ni's dowry, which is why they wanted to snatch Zhang Shanni away for a bigger silver dowry!

"Shut up!"

Zhang Zhiguo saw his wife getting more and more outrageous, he almost wanted to cover her big mouth with his hands, but usually, he couldn't win against her at home. If he dared to start a fight with her in public, his already furious wife would totally engage in a fight with him in front of everyone, and he would definitely be the one ending up embarrassed!

But if he didn't reprimand her now, she would have offended all the relatives!

"Old uncle, Dongliang's mother didn't mean it... you see..." Zhang Zhiguo rubbed his old hands together, and explained weakly with an apologetic smile to Zhang Hongqiang.

He wasn't foolish like Lin Zhaodi to that extent; he knew that his old uncle was speaking out of sympathy for what his young daughter had endured. Although he understood what was going on, he did not agree with it.

After all, it was his own daughter; how could he give her away in adoption? He was still hoping to use his young daughter in a marriage swap to gain a filial daughter-in-law! It wasn't even about the lack of silver... He wasn't the first in the village to swap marriages, thus he didn't feel guilty about using his daughter in this way. He merely felt surprised at how his usually obedient daughter suddenly started acting out!

Glancing sideways at the robust Rong Wei who was protecting his young daughter, Zhang Zhiguo knew that this young man had just returned and didn't really know his daughter. However, deep down, he felt some displeasure and annoyance towards this meddlesome, strapping young man.

He totally didn't consider that if it weren't for Xie Jingchen's decisive action to jump into the water and rescue, there wouldn't be this troublesome predicament now – it would have turned from a wedding to a funeral already.

Now due to Zhang Zhiguo's soft voice, the noise had quietened down, but the only ones still causing a fuss were Lin Zhaodi, who was struggling to dash forward and attack Zhang Shanni, as she was restrained by her son.

At this moment, Yan Jinsu had a brief moment to herself and had learned about the unfortunate events that befell the original owner. As she watched the scene growing more chaotic, blown by a gentle breeze, her body instinctively shivered... she felt somewhat incapable of accepting what she was about to face.

Her parents in her last life had loved her dearly, never having to witness such a scenario.

Her body, still retaining memories of the original owner, instinctively reddened around the eyes, with tears hanging at the corners. She instantly got into character, looking at her noisy relatives with a face of sorrow, then glimpsed at the lake beside her. She truly wanted to jump into the water again; maybe by doing so, she could go back?

Hmph! Yan Jinsu sneered in her mind.

That was absolutely impossible, because in her previous life, she was already dead beyond dead, without even a physical body left. What could she possibly do if she went back?

Thinking back on the past, Yan Jinsu, with a dead and empty gaze, stared blankly at the nearby murky lake, realizing that she could never return. Moreover, she didn't wish to go back and see that father and son again!

Perhaps the current situation was very tragic, but when she instinctively connected with her superpower and found that it was still there, the withering in her heart revived with a trace of vitality...

Xie Jingchen instinctively observed the young girl's wooden expression. Seeing her pale face still hopelessly staring at the rippling lake, his heart instinctively tightened, "How much is the bride price?" he blurted out with a deep, grave sound.

Hearing his cold, stiff voice, the surrounding crowd instantly fell silent, staring at him in a daze.

For a moment, the air seemed to have paused, and no one dared to speak again.

"It has to be three hundred silver! Not one less!" Lin Zhaodi's eyes darted, and she quickly said it out loud.

Perhaps shamelessness truly made one invincible. As Lin Zhaodi heard the young man's voice, her heart involuntarily sped up, and without even thinking, she responded loudly with a demand.
