Chapter 6: Spirit Spring Space

Lin Shulan: …This eldest son!

She advised, “Third son, Mother isn’t stopping you, but you need to think this through. Your wife is spoiled. Your allowance will be the only source of income for your family.

If you spend all your money and vouchers now, how will your family live after marriage…”

Zhou Yubai’s frown deepened.

Lin Shulan knew she couldn’t argue with her stubborn son.  Seeing his expression, she gritted her teeth, “Alright, I’ll go propose marriage tomorrow and discuss it with your wife to see what she thinks, okay?”

Zhou Yubai thought for a moment. He was now a battalion commander and could apply for his family to join the army.

If, after marriage, Shen Chuning was willing to join the army, they wouldn’t need to buy so many large items here.

He nodded, “Okay, Mother, I’ll discuss it with her myself tomorrow. Take this money. If she wants the ‘three turns and one ring,’ buy them. If she doesn’t, give it all to her as a dowry. She can buy whatever she wants whenever she wants!”

Lin Shulan heard this, looking at the money and vouchers her son had earned with his life, her heart ached.

Everyone in the village knew that Shen family’s daughter was spoiled. She ate fine grains, wore fine fabrics, used toothpaste to brush her teeth, and even used fashionable hair ties from the city.

If all this was given as a dowry, wouldn’t she squander it in a few days?

But her son was determined, and she couldn’t persuade him.

She could only watch her son leave the courtyard, but she noticed that he didn’t return to his own small courtyard but headed out of the village.

Lin Shulan called out, “Third son, where are you going so late at night?”

“To the city, to send a telegram, and apply for marriage!”

Her son’s voice came. Lin Shulan sighed heavily again, “Sigh!”

Her son was completely smitten by that Shen family girl!

Someone who previously refused to marry was now so anxious, going to the city to send a telegram in the middle of the night.

“Old woman, what did the third son say to you? Why are you sighing?” Father Zhou couldn’t bear his wife’s continuous sighing and asked.

“He asked me to propose marriage for him.”

As soon as Mother Zhou said this, Father Zhou excitedly sat up, “Really? That boy has changed his mind? Which girl’s family?”

“The Shen family, Shen Chuning.” Mother Zhou replied weakly.

Father Zhou also fell silent, saying after a long time, “Okay, at least he won’t be a bachelor anymore.”

At this time, Shen Chuning was excitedly exploring the space.

She had been worried about how she would harvest all the fruits and grains in the space, which were all ripe.

Then, with a thought, she saw the grains and fruits automatically begin to harvest.

In a short while, the warehouse by the spirit spring was already piled high with fruits and vegetables, neatly categorized.

Looking at the bare space after the harvest, she thought it would be a waste not to plant anything, but with her delicate skin and slender arms and legs, she would be exhausted planting such a large field by herself.

It would be great if the land could automatically plant the next batch of crops.

As soon as she thought this, the harvested land began to automatically plow and cultivate seedlings.  In a short while, the vast land was planted with lush green seedlings.

Shen Chuning was once again shocked.

She tried watering the crops with spirit spring water.

As soon as the spirit spring water seeped into the soil, the crops began to grow at a visible speed.

This was too magical.

No wonder the crops produced by Chen Ziyun and Wang Yumeng’s farm in her dream could supply half the country, and even national leaders received them.

She had to find a chance to try again, to see if the spirit spring water would have any effect on ordinary crops outside the space.

Shen Chuning thought as she left the space.

After leaving the space, she lay on her soft bed and subconsciously touched the jade pendant around her neck.

Upon touching it, she was immediately panicked. The jade pendant was gone!

What about the spirit spring space she had just discovered?

As soon as she thought this, she suddenly found herself back in the space.

Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly saw a koi mark appear on her palm, exactly the same shape as her koi jade pendant.

She remembered that when she went to the city to find Chen Ziyun and Wang Yumeng in her dream, she didn’t see them wearing the koi jade pendant.

It must be that after the koi jade pendant recognized its owner, it merged with her.

She entered and exited the space several times, confirming her thoughts.

At this time, she heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening outside.

Running out, she saw her third brother returning.

Shen Chuning excitedly ran over and hugged Shen Zhengrong, “Third Brother…”

Shen Zhengrong’s expression softened for a moment, then turned cold again, saying sternly, “Ningning, I’ve already explained the situation to the village committee. The village committee has given Chen Ziyun a warning and requires him to go to the village committee every night to study and undergo ideological transformation.”

“That pretty boy is no good. Be careful yourself and don’t always go to the educated youth center.”

He had originally planned to come back and scold Shen Chuning, but when his fragrant and soft sister rushed over to hug him, he couldn’t bring himself to yell at her.

Shen Chuning’s mind was filled with the scene of her third brother flying out to save her in her dream.  With tears in her eyes, she nodded heavily, promising, “Third Brother, don’t worry, I know.”

She just wanted her father and brothers to be safe.

Now that she had the space, as long as she stayed away from Chen Ziyun and Wang Yumeng, she would definitely be able to give her father and brothers a good life.

Shen Zhengrong, seeing his sister’s sincere and bright eyes, couldn’t bring himself to scold her any further.

He raised his hand and rubbed her head, “Alright, go to sleep. Dad and your older brothers won’t be back tonight, no need to wait for them.”

During this season, her father and older brothers usually went to the mountains and set traps at night to hunt and bring back game to improve her health.

She looked at her third brother hesitantly and mustered her courage, “Third Brother, I’m getting married.”

After saying this, she blushed and quickly lowered her head.

Shen Zhengrong’s gentle expression instantly turned cold.

He thought his foolish sister had finally come to her senses.

Unexpectedly, she had come to her senses to marry that human scum Chen Ziyun!

Shen Zhengrong’s face turned livid with anger. He grabbed Shen Chuning’s slender arm and walked into the room.

He squeezed five finger marks on Shen Chuning’s arm, making her eyes red and tears welling up.

“Third Brother…” Shen Chuning looked at Shen Zhengrong with grievance, tears in her eyes.

“Don’t call me Third Brother, I don’t have a sister like you!” Shen Zhengrong angrily said, “You’ve grown up and your mind has become wild. I can’t control you anymore!  Marry whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me, you don’t need to tell me!”

After saying this, Shen Zhengrong went into the room and slammed the door shut.

Shen Chuning wanted to chase after him but was met with a closed door.

The tears in her eyes finally rolled down.

She wiped her tears, still not understanding why her brother was so angry.

But her brother, once he got angry, wouldn’t listen to anyone.  She would come and explain to him tomorrow!
