Chapter 2 A rather unconventional newbie gift pack!

She spoke words of comfort, but the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Suppressing his heartache, Jiang Weiguo patted Jiang Wanqiu's shoulder and comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Wanqiu, don't be afraid. When I was doing business in Shanghai, I helped a family surnamed Zhao in the Great Northern Wilderness."

“That family isn’t doing too badly in the village. I… I’ve already sent them a telegram. We’ll go over there later, and you can meet their eldest grandson. That way, we can at least have someone to look after you.”

Her mother comforted her, saying, "If you marry into that family, at least... at least you'll have enough to eat, and you'll have someone to look after you in a strange place, so you won't be bullied."

In her previous life, she stayed in the city while her younger sister went to the countryside and married into the Zhao family.

But what did her sister say when she found out later? She said that the family was dirt poor, the man was rude and uneducated, and the whole family abused her, making her work and not letting her eat. She had never had a good day.

Having barely resolved the matter, Jiang Weiguo glanced at the clock on the cabinet and hurriedly said, "The investigation team will be coming to raid the house this afternoon, we need to hurry. Wanxia, ​​quickly change your clothes, I'll take you to Section Chief Wang's house to settle your matter first!"

"Okay, Dad!" Jiang Wanxia replied crisply, then turned to go back to her room.

Jiang Weiguo then looked at Jiang Wanqiu: "Wanqiu, you should also go and familiarize yourself with the place, for the future..."

"I'm not going."

Jiang Wanqiu refused without even thinking.

Now, just thinking about Wang Jianjun's hypocritical face makes her feel nauseous.

Jiang Wanxia stopped and looked back at her, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Sister, I know you're unwilling, but what's the use of arguing with me? This marriage is mine, and whether you go or not won't change anything."

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest and said boastfully, "But don't worry, after I marry you, I'll visit you in the countryside often. If you ever need anything, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you if I can."

Her tone made it seem as if she were a high-class city lady, while Jiang Wanqiu was a poor relative begging for favors.

After the group left, Jiang Wanqiu remembered the strange sound. With a thought, her consciousness seemed to be drawn away and she entered a bright space of about ten square meters.

The space was empty except for a beautifully packaged red gift box, which lay quietly in the center.

Jiang Wanqiu instantly realized that this place could actually be used to store things.

In her previous life, her family was also maliciously reported for bourgeois behavior, and their property was confiscated and they were exiled.

But clearly her family has never lived a life of extravagance and debauchery; it's all a frame-up!

Since that's the case, she won't let anyone benefit from these things in her house!

She was worried about what to do with the valuables in her house when it was raided. She had to throw everything that could be moved into her spatial dimension before the group of people arrived.

In the afternoon, several members of the investigation team wearing red armbands arrived as expected.

As soon as they entered the courtyard and saw the exquisite little villa and the Western-style furniture inside, their faces immediately fell.

"Good heavens! What kind of life are we living! Decadent! Degenerate!"

"A typical capitalist hedonistic lifestyle!"

"Move it all away! Take it to the junkyard!"

However, this family was strange. Apart from a few large items that were difficult to move, such as wardrobes, bookcases, tables, and chairs, the whole family didn't have any extra furniture or belongings.

When Jiang's parents returned, they found that the group of people had only left them a few tattered quilts and the most basic pots and pans.

As evening fell, the family, carrying their only luggage, was "invited" to the train station.

The platform was packed with people, including educated youth and families with "problems" who were also going to the countryside.

On every face, young or weathered, the same confusion and sorrow were etched.

The green train clattered along, carrying a carriage full of despair, heading towards an unknown distance.

The carriage was filled with a mixture of smells and was extremely crowded.

After two days and three nights of swaying and bumping on the train, we finally arrived at the legendary Great Northern Wilderness on the morning of the third day.

As soon as I got out of the car, the biting cold wind rushed into my neck.

As far as the eye can see, there is only desolation.

Jiang's parents wanted to go to a more distant place to receive education from poor and lower-middle peasants, so they could only send Jiang Wanqiu here before hurriedly taking the train away again.

As Jiang Wanqiu stared blankly at the unfamiliar scene of people coming and going, wondering how to get to Zhao Family Village, a warm and loud voice rang out not far away.

"Oh my! It's late autumn!"

Jiang Wanqiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw three country folk wearing thick cotton-padded coats walking briskly toward them.

She never expected that the Zhao family would personally come to the station to pick her up.

The leader was an elderly woman with gray hair and a slightly hunched back, but she was full of energy and had a smile on her face.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you!"

Jiang Wanqiu recognized who had come.

One is Grandma Zhao, one is Grandma Zhao, and the other is Mr. Zhao, who is her future father-in-law.

All three of them wore simple, honest smiles, but the "grandson" she was to marry was nowhere to be seen.

Grandma Zhao spotted Jiang Wanqiu, who was slender, in the crowd at a glance. She took a few steps forward and snatched the heavy luggage from Jiang Wanqiu's hands.

"Why did you bring so much stuff? Give it to Grandma! This stuff is heavy, how can I let a pampered city girl like you carry it!"

This sudden enthusiasm made Jiang Wanqiu feel flattered.

Jiang Wanqiu quickly declined politely with a smile, "Oh, thank you, Grandma!"

As Grandma Zhao stuffed the luggage into her son's arms, she explained cheerfully, "My eldest grandson didn't come; I kept him at home to cook!"

"We have important guests at home today, so we'd better make sure that kid shows off his skills and serves you well!"

Jiang Wanqiu was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Men can cook too?"

She recalled the more than ten years she spent in the Wang family, where she served the entire family like a spinning top.

Wang Jianjun was too lazy to even pour himself a sip of water. Even if the thermos was right next to him, he would call her over to serve him while she was mopping the floor.

The road to the village was a dirt road, full of potholes.

Grandma Zhao just laughed, "You'll know when you see my son!"

Jiang Wanqiu couldn't help but feel even more curious about men.

The Zhao family arrived in a donkey cart.

Jiang Wanqiu looked at the simple cart and was about to climb on it when she discovered that there was a thick layer of old quilts on the cart.

Grandma Zhao rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly and said, "I was afraid you city people wouldn't be used to this ride and would feel too bumpy, so I laid out a mattress to make it softer."

The donkey cart creaked and groaned along the dirt road, its wheels occasionally getting stuck in potholes, only to be pulled out by the old donkey with all its might.

Grandma Zhao was a talkative woman; she kept talking the whole way, chatting about the villagers and excitedly describing what was growing in the fields as she pointed to the ridges along the road.

"Look, that's our brigade's cornfield, it's growing so well! This year's harvest is sure to be bountiful!"

"After the autumn harvest, we'll grind it into cornmeal, make big flatbreads, and they'll smell amazing!"

Jiang Wanqiu didn't stand on ceremony and affectionately took the other person's hand, saying, "That's great! I'll have to try your cooking sometime!"

"I'll help you out then, so please don't think I'm clumsy."

Her unpretentious and unpretentious demeanor delighted the Zhao family members.

The more I looked at her, the more I liked her; this girl didn't have a single trace of the typical city girl.

They were initially worried that a rich young lady would be difficult to serve, but now it seems they had worried unnecessarily.

They are now hoping that Jiang Wanqiu will take a liking to their young man and come to be their daughter-in-law.

Before long, Jiang Wanqiu was getting drowsy from the bumpy ride in the donkey cart, but the "Elysium Newbie Gift Pack" suddenly popped into her head.

Since we're just killing time anyway, why not see what good stuff is inside?

She closed her eyes silently, leaned against the car floor, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

[Do you want to open the new player gift pack?]

"Start," she murmured to herself.

Upon seeing what was inside, Jiang Wanqiu froze, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, hot enough to fry an egg.

Inside the gift box, a neat pile of... sex toys was stacked.

Several bottles of lubricating oil with blatant packaging, a few pieces of lace lingerie that were as thin as cicada wings and had very little fabric, and a few bottles of wine and aromatherapy with foreign labels, the bottles painted with some blush-inducing patterns.

Jiang Wanqiu's mind went blank for a moment.
