Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 255 - 251 Practical Items Are Good [-08 Update]

——————

Xie Jingchen, after taking a shower, entered the room and saw his wife sitting on the bed with a colorful large carpet spread out in front of her, displaying various items on it, the most eye-catching of which were, of course, the shiny gold necklace and golden balls.

He promptly locked the room door, though most of the family had already gone to sleep, as these were their personal possessions that didn’t need to be known by everyone.

Seeing his little wife magically produce so many items... and, the items laid out on the bed were not cheap at all!

"Brother Chen, come here~" Zhang Shan Ni was feeling troubled about what to give to Xiao Si, as these two children were at a sensitive age, she couldn’t afford to treat them differently.

She noticed her husband entering the room, her worried almond-shaped eyes suddenly brightening!

"Choosing gifts?" Xie Jingchen guessed when he saw the items on the colorful carpet.

"Yes, I was thinking of preparing some little things to give away since our whole family will be going out. Brother Chen, what do you think we should choose for Xiao Si? It’s easier to pick for others, both women and men, but for Xiao Si, a boy under ten, it really troubles me! What should we give him?"

Speaking, Zhang Shan Ni’s eyebrows furrowed even more, clearly distressed.

"Xiao Si is still young, no need for something too fancy." Xie Jingchen frowned, thinking it’s not good for his wife to spoil the children too much, "Choose something practical, like pencils would be a good practical gift!"

While saying this, he picked up a women’s watch, which had a genuine leather strap and looked unremarkable, yet the watch face seemed to have a bit of gold plating?

"...I’ll think of it myself." Pencils, is that a gift?

Zhang Shan Ni was frustrated. Seeing her husband scrutinizing the watch she had prepared for her little aunt, she had chosen the most ordinary, common brand, seeing her husband’s furrowed brows, there shouldn’t be anything... unfitting, right?

She leaned forward to inspect but saw nothing unusual, so she directly asked, "Is there something wrong with the watch? I was planning to give it to our child..."

"This is, how much gold is used for decoration?"

"Uh, not gold, Brother Chen, gold has a darker yellow tone, this ring is rose gold, well, it’s just gold-plated for looks, it’s not valuable." Zhang Shan Ni explained.

Xie Jingchen stared silently at his wife, even just the ’watch’ itself was valuable. His wife always had some misconceptions...

He tenderly stroked his wife’s pregnant belly, his eyes a brooding deep, "As long as you like it, just make sure our child doesn’t flaunt it everywhere."

"Oh~" Zhang Shan Ni glanced at her husband, feeling that his mood seemed a bit strange... but seeing his gesture and casual demeanor, she didn’t think too deeply.

"Brother Chen, I’m planning to give Sister Xiaxia, Sister Yanzi, and Sister Fei each a small scarf, what do you think?"

Zhang Shan Ni pulled out the towels, all relatively old-fashioned ’classic styles’, this era of course did not have them, but relatively trendy cities weren’t without them either.

The one she held in her hand, a dull grey checked cotton towel, she had seen people using it in the county town.

Of course, others had genuinely worn theirs out, whereas hers were deliberately made to look old.

"Pick relatively ordinary colors, like these brightly colored ones should not be given away. It’s best to pick the towels." Towels can generally be handmade, so various styles appearing was still plausible!

But for things like silk or cotton scarves, due to the technology of the time not being up to par, the likelihood of their appearance was extremely low.

"Yeah, yeah, I’ll follow your lead."

"Wife..." Xie Jingchen, seeing his little wife finally preparing the gifts one by one, even readying casual gifts for his direct superiors, had his heart soften, he tenderly called out.

Some things, I still need to give her a heads-up if she needs to know.

"Uh?" Zhang Shanni was worrying about how in this era, there weren’t even plastic bags available—what could she use for packaging? It looks like she has to make her own gift boxes?

"This gift is not urgent; let’s have a chat." Xie Jingchen pulled her into his embrace and spoke seriously.

"Is it something serious? Did something happen back at home?" Zhang Shanni responded, instantly recalling the man’s charcoal-like expression when he drove back home, "Let me guess, could it be that there’s a result regarding my origin?"

"..." Xie Jingchen looked at his wife, who had already guessed before he even spoke.

"Please~, Brother Chen, what’s with that look? I’m not dumb. It’s so obvious the way your colleagues and superiors acted, how could I not find it strange? Additionally, ...the Zhang Family was not kind to me. Lin Zhaodi, uh, her display of disgust and hatred towards me, I’m really not a fool!"

Zhang Shanni rolled her eyes at him, his expression making it seem as if she had always been very dumb.

"Yep, my wife is the smartest." Xie Jingchen agreed with a nod.

"Hehe," Zhang Shanni blushed a bit at Xie Jingchen’s words and then thought for a moment, "Then originally, uh, I mean, whose child was I?"

Currently, in the military circle, there are the Yan and Tao families; both men looked at her as if they’d seen a ghost.

One grandmother, one great-aunt, Zhang Shanni rough-guessed that it’s more likely that the original owner was the daughter of Yan Family.

"My hometown conveyed that Yan Rong District Chief has already made a disturbance with his family, not only sending that fake daughter back to the Zhang Family, but also sending Lin Zhaodi to prison, with a sentence of fourteen years on record."

"That severe?" Zhang Shanni was very surprised.

"When the Yan Family makes a move, it can’t be light. Besides, the suffering you’ve endured over the years... how could the Yan Family not seek justice for you!"

Xie Jingchen actually felt that this wasn’t harsh at all; like Lin Zhaodi who, for her daughter’s luxury, swapped her child with a rich family’s. It’s not possible to treat everyone equally but she shouldn’t have treated Zhang Shanni so unfairly.

"Oh... actually, it can’t be retrieved. Zhang Shanni, the moment I jumped into the lake, I died." Zhang Shanni closed her eyes, leaned into the man’s neck, and whispered softly in his ear.

Xie Jingchen was suddenly reminded of what his wife said before their marriage: Zhang Shanni, dead.

"Zhang Shanni is just a name; from the moment I married Xie Jingchen, I am just his wife; nothing else." Zhang Shanni’s soft voice was cold and clear.

She really didn’t care whether the original person’s surname is Zhang, Yan, or Tao. Her current name didn’t matter; all she needed was to know she is Xie Jingchen’s wife.

No other identity? Just Xie Jingchen’s wife! Xie Jingchen hugged her tightly, lowering his head to kiss her forehead lightly, "Alright, having me is enough for my wife."

"What if it’s not enough... We still have our babies, and there are Dad and Mom too!" These are the Xie Family people she met after her rebirth, and they are her family now.

Zhang Shanni silently glared at the man, seeing him actually frown, she laughed secretly. It seems the husband she trained has quite the possessive desire.

"..." Can Xie Jingchen say, at this moment, he doesn’t feel happy inside?

"Alright then, those people are not our concern, let’s live our lives as we wish." Zhang Shanni didn’t keep those supposedly true and biological relatives in her heart; instead, she yawned and said tiredly:

"Brother Chen, I’m really sleepy, shall we tidy up the bed and sleep early?"

"Um." When Xie Jingchen heard this, he no longer cared about the unhappiness in his heart and instead took care of his sleepy little wife.

PS: Golden balls are made by compressing golden items and rolling them up to save space just when they acquired Space. Shallow-seeming Zhang Shanni didn’t let anything go, and to save even more space, she even rolled them into clay balls. In order to fulfill her nature as a miser, she would do anything.
