Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 391 - 387 No Matter How Good the Promise Sounds

——————

Zhou Zhenghui was quite perceptive and held out the large cup of tea in front of his future mother-in-law. When he saw Little Zi’er easily taking it over and even helped her drink a few sips, and saw her breathing ease and her complexion return to normal, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her mother so angered by her, Xie Jingzi tearfully cried out, "Mom, if you really don’t like me being with him—"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenghui seized the opportunity and said solemnly to Zhou Xiuhua:

"Mother, I apologize for upsetting you, it’s my fault. But I really am here sincerely to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage. If you’re worried, I am ready to register and marry Little Zi’er immediately!"

Once Zhou Zhenghui heard Xie Jingzi’s guilty tone, he immediately spoke out again, his voice urgent and slightly louder, overpowering Xie Jingzi’s weak voice.

Right now, he could tell that his mother-in-law looked as if she could chew him up alive—and the little woman he had always wanted to take home was about to cast him aside from fright!

Scoff, don’t believe it? Didn’t you see her daring to throw his hand off in one swoop and dash to the opposite side!

As for the future mother-in-law...

Usually, this expression is mostly seen when a girl gets pregnant unexpectedly, and her mother would have this kind of expression. Quite coincidentally, he had seen this expression before, so now, he instinctively steered the conversation to a crucial point.

Although that day he hadn’t really taken Little Zi’er away, the fact that they had been intimate was true, and being a man he didn’t think it was a big deal, but setting that aside, he realized that Little Zi’er probably wouldn’t fancy him!

Even the most fundamental reason for dating him was because of this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have won her over so quickly!

Zhou Zhenghui’s declaration, in the eyes of Zhou Xiuhua, was like adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, Xie Jingzi, still dazed, gave her mother a straight look and foolishly turned her head to ask her uncle:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t you say to at least let me finish college first?" They had just met the day before yesterday and had a focused discussion about her school issues.

"You going to college doesn’t hinder us from getting married first! These significant life events can absolutely proceed simultaneously," Zhou Zhenghui said, covering his nose discreetly and then earnestly replied.

He felt that if he held back any longer, he might as well become a saint!

Before he had a woman, he didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate, but ever since he rolled with her in a confusing mix-up of sheets, he felt that this life event should not be delayed any longer!

"Alright, everyone sit down!" Xie Tiesheng frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

Now everything was settled, whether it was the furious Zhou Xiuhua, the innocent Yan Jinsu, the weak Xie Jingzi, or the rarely impatient Zhou Zhenghui—all of them sat up straight and looked at Xie Tiesheng.

However, Xie Tiesheng was especially fond of this youngest daughter, plus her birth came at the most difficult time in their family’s life, creating much guilt and bias in his heart.

After all, when his youngest daughter was born, it was during a great famine, and there were several times they almost couldn’t keep her alive, all because of his incompetence and poverty.

Due to his bias, being the main focus of his attention, Xie Jingzi was frail in her childhood, extremely delicate in her thinking, weak in her hands, unable to do many things, totally incomparable to her competent elder sister. This long-term comparison by the sisters-in-law made her personality extremely sensitive.

Other family’s little aunts, towards their sisters-in-law, more or less were somewhat arrogant and unreasonable. After all, they were daughters pampered by their parents at home—how could they compare with those who were daughters-in-law.

But San’er never did such things; because she was weak as a child and couldn’t do heavy labor, she would voluntarily do lighter chores around the house, afraid of tiring her mother.

The three sister-in-laws took turns to spend their confinement periods, and though she was just over ten years old, she could assist her mother with tasks such as disposing manure, washing toilets, and cooking gruel. There was no shortage of work she did.

As she grew older, San’er managed to get some good medicinal herbs and health remedies, which gradually strengthened Xie Jingzi’s body. However, by that time, she had become quite introverted, naturally straightforward and sensitive because she was protected by her brothers.

But her real nature was well-known at home; though Dad didn’t claim to understand her completely, at least sixty to seventy percent, he did.

Previously, he was too angry to think straight, but when his wife was on the verge of an illness out of frustration, he immediately woke up to clarity. He initially didn’t understand the intention behind San’er’s actions until he saw her disregarding everything else to rush and support her mother, which made Xie Tiesheng instantly understand.

Xie Tiesheng had also studied in the clan school; in the Old Xie Family, there were no true illiterates!

At this moment, Xie Tiesheng suppressed the astonishment in his heart, staring fixedly at San’er, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying, you really have chosen him?"

Xie Tiesheng knew better than anyone that San’er had grown up by his side. Though she was about to go to university, her nature was extremely conservative. The statement she made was definitely not said lightly.

Especially after that incident happened in their hometown!

"Dad, I..." Xie Jingzi was caught between a rock and a hard place, conflicted between her biological parents and the person she was currently seeing. She said she agreed before, so she shouldn’t be going back on her word now.

But in Xie Jingzi’s heart, Zhou Zhenghui was truly not as important as her own parents!

Because of this, Xie Jingzi dragged out her words, her eyes filled with an apologetic guilt as she looked towards Zhou Zhenghui—

"Xie, Jing, Zi—" Zhou Zhenghui suddenly felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him. No matter how nicely the girl promised things in front of him, it was all empty!

He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted! Clenching his fists, his body, which was initially sitting calmly, suddenly stood up, his face stern and extremely forbidding as he looked at Xie Jingzi—

The annoyance was evident on his face, but he felt uncertain inside.

Despite how casually he treated Xie Jingzi in private, he was exceedingly proper in front of others.

Given that Xie Jingzi was significantly younger than him, he had a pampering attitude towards her, like ’spoiling a daughter’—irrationally soft-hearted, wanting to indulge her in everything.

This was a kind of blind compliance that not even Little Tiantian, who had been with him the longest, had enjoyed.

Just by looking at him, an unmarried young man, willing to babysit his elder cousin’s child who went abroad for studies, it was evident that he truly liked soft and cute girls.

The most important point was, Zhou Family’s daughter was indeed scarce, and his cousin was the longest-serving legitimate eldest daughter of this generation in the Zhou family. Her daughter was truly treated like a Princess in the Zhou family.

Just by her nickname, one could tell how spoiled she was within the Zhou family.

Zhou Zhenghui, due to his own bit of cute love, especially liked little girls who looked like dolls, particularly those around the ages of four to Shiyi years old, they were the easiest to soften his heart.

Furthermore, Little Tiantian was still young but sharp-eyed, always clinging to her little uncle since childhood, not wanting anyone else, and her family teased that she knew to love beauty from a young age. freewebnσvel.cøm

Ah, Zhou Zhenghui was famously known as ’Beauty Zhou’ within the large courtyard, of course, no one dared mention it directly to his face.
