Chapter 8: The Space of the Golden Finger?

Upon returning home, Jiang Yuman found that Mother Fu and the others were not downstairs; they were probably resting in their rooms.

As Jiang Yuman was going upstairs with her things, Fu Jingchen was busy packing.

Seeing her, he felt a slight sense of relief and asked, “Did anyone bully you?”

While asking, he looked her over from top to bottom.

Since she left the house today, he had felt uneasy. Unable to sit still, he had started to pack the items he would take to the countryside.

“With you around, who would dare bully me?” Jiang Yuman handed the items in her hands over to him, her smile bright like a flower.

“What do you mean?” Fu Jingchen took the items, his dark eyes displaying a hint of confusion.

Jiang Yuman was in a good mood and recounted how Jiang Mingbin hadn’t dared to hit her earlier.

Fu Jingchen tightened his lips and replied, “If you were bullied, I would of course seek justice for you,” even if that person was technically his father-in-law.

If she truly agreed to go to the countryside with him, then no one should be able to bully her, not even himself.

Jiang Yuman was quite satisfied with his understanding and smiled, “That’s why I say, with you here, they don’t dare to bully me.”

Looking at her radiant smile and thinking of everything she had done, Fu Jingchen’s gaze held an imperceptible heat, not even missing the slight flutter of her hair.

“Alright, let’s hurry and pack; we leave the day after tomorrow.”

As Jiang Yuman said this, she began pulling out her spoils from today and stuffing them into the bag.

Her mother’s certificate was originally framed, but fitting the frame into her suitcase would be inconvenient.

So she opened the frame, planning to take the certificate out and pack it separately.

“Ah—”

Unexpectedly, as her hand reached in, it brushed against a small nail inside, instantaneously cutting a line on her finger.

Fu Jingchen frowned at the sight and pursed his lips, saying, “I’ll go get the medicine.”

With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Jiang Yuman didn’t have time to stop him; she was surprised to feel something else in the frame.

Pulling it out, she discovered a chain with an emerald pendant.

This chain must have belonged to her mother, as it was evidently inside the frame for her advanced progressive award.

At that moment, the pendant, stained with her blood, seemed to intensify in vibrant green.

Wait!

When Jiang Yuman looked closely, she was shocked to find that the blood on the pendant was visibly reducing.

It was as if something was absorbing it!

Being a seasoned reader of many novels, she had a vague, improbable idea in her mind.

To confirm her suspicion, she placed her injured fingertip on the pendant.

A miraculous scene unfolded!

A flash of green light, and the next moment, a space the size of a basketball court appeared in her mind.

Looking up, she realized the space seemed divided into two areas.

One area was filled with rich, moist black soil that looked perfect for growing crops.

The other area was an ordinary surface, spanning over twenty square meters, the purpose of which was unknown to her.

Next to the black soil, there was a circular pond with crystal-clear water, emitting a faint mist.

Jiang Yuman cupped her hands to drink some, and instantly, her vision cleared.

This was spring water!

Since the water was spring water, that plot of land must not be ordinary either.

If she had the chance, she definitely needed to buy some seeds to plant and see how bountiful the yield could be…

Glancing again, there was a small straw hut at the edge. Jiang Yuman walked in and found a simple wooden bed inside. Looking around, the space was vast.

When she opened her eyes again, she wanted to see if she could store items in this space.

Looking at the frame she had taken apart, she concentrated, and in the next second, the frame disappeared.

When she looked again, it had appeared in the previously empty area.

The small frame looked exceptionally tiny on the expansive ground, lying there all alone, evoking a sense of pity.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuman felt extremely excited: that empty space was meant for storing the items she needed.

Taking advantage of Fu Jingchen not having come upstairs yet, she repeated the experiment several times. She discovered that anything could be freely placed in that empty area.

With black soil available, she could plant; and with the spring water, irrigation would be convenient. From the looks of it, drinking it was also beneficial for health.

There was a designated area for storage, the space was vast, and it could hold a plethora of resources.

It was simply a multifunctional, all-purpose space.

Despite having such a spacious storage area, Jiang Yuman still worried about the food situation in the countryside.

After all, it was a reformation; the food there would surely be inferior to what she had now. With intensive labor and inadequate meals, it would be hard for anyone to bear.

There were still so many people at home; apart from Fu Wangshan and his two sons, the three women in the family weren’t laborers. Besides, in three months, she would also have to give birth.

In these next two years, she would surely face quite a bit of hardship.

Now, with this unexpected space, she could take advantage of the good weather to stockpile food and supplies to support her family after going to the countryside.

Moreover, she could store all important items in this space without worrying about losing them!

Thinking of all this, Jiang Yuman felt exhilarated. This trip back to the Jiang family was truly worthwhile!

She put the necklace around her neck and began contemplating what she currently had.

Right now, she had a box of cash given by Fu, and the eighteen hundred she brought back from her family, excluding jewelry; she had nearly a thousand in cash on hand.

This money could buy quite a bit of supplies.

However, in the hustle and bustle, mistakes were easy to make. Today, she needed to draft a list of supplies and find a way to procure everything tomorrow.

In terms of food: rice, oil, eggs, especially meat!

She was a person who couldn’t live without meat.

She also needed other supplies like clothes, shoes, skincare items…

While she was deep in thought, Fu Jingchen had already come upstairs with the medicine.

Jiang Yuman suppressed her overwhelming excitement, cooperating with him to bandage her wound.

For such a small scratch, Fu Jingchen not only applied the medicine but also wrapped it with a layer of gauze.

“Next time you deal with the frame, you can let me do it. My skin is thick and tough.” After finishing the bandaging, he looked up at Jiang Yuman and said.

Jiang Yuman nodded, unable to resist staring at Fu Jingchen for a long time.

From this angle, Fu Jingchen looked exceptionally handsome, with a nose that seemed to be suitable for sliding down a slide.

Indeed, a husband should be handsome; seeing a husband like this made her fantasize about what their future child would look like.

Even if the original owner was dreadful, she was undeniably beautiful, and with such a handsome dad, her child’s genes would be impeccable.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Jingchen noticed Jiang Yuman staring at him and asked.

Of course, Jiang Yuman couldn’t admit she was mesmerized by his looks, so she casually replied, “I’m planning to go out tomorrow to see if there are any suitable items.”

Fu Jingchen responded, “It’s all up to you, but I won’t have time tomorrow. Should I have Haitang accompany you?”

With their departure to the countryside approaching, tickets and some procedures needed to be taken care of tomorrow.

Jiang Yuman replied, “No need, I just want to see if there are any snow cream or camellia oil; these things aren’t heavy.”

Currently, there weren’t many items available for purchase in the market. She planned to primarily head to the black market.

The black market had everything, and the quantities were ample without anyone questioning her. Plus, with this natural cheat tool, she wouldn’t fear being caught.

Without anyone following her, she could confidently and boldly go to the black market.
