Thanks to Su Erniu, Jiang Lai possessed an incredibly powerful cheat ability, one that no one could resist—a portable space.
Jiang Lai, who had read countless novels featuring characters with special abilities, was overjoyed. This was incredible! A portable space! That was the most popular kind of "golden finger" in period novels.
Moreover, this golden finger was obtained from Su Erniu. Or rather, the word "obtained" is not quite appropriate. It should be said that Su Erniu gave it to her or compensated her. Because when Su Erniu was struggling in the river, she desperately grabbed Jiang Lai to prevent her from running away. As a result, Su Erniu's ring pierced Jiang Lai's skin, and thus she gave her a golden finger for free.
What could Jiang Lai do? Of course, she'd thank her.
Speaking of which, although Jiang Lai didn't know if she would end up with Ye Anguo, she was very grateful for Su Erniu's actions. Jiang Lai didn't like Shi Cheng's pretty boy looks; her aesthetic was more like Ye Anguo's masculine and reliable type.
This brings us to Jiang Lai's life experiences.
Before Jiang Lai came here, she was both unlucky and lucky. Why do I say that? She was an orphan who encountered a once-in-a-century earthquake when she was just over two years old. In order to save her and ensure her survival, her parents used their bodies to create a safe zone for her in the collapsed ruins. When she was rescued by the People's Liberation Army comrades, she was completely unharmed.
She was lucky because she had loving parents and was raised by the soldiers who rescued her. From elementary school to university, she was always outstanding and consistently ranked at the top of her class.
She was unlucky because she encountered this kind of disaster more than once; she also experienced fires and floods, and each time she was rescued by soldiers.
Because of her childhood experiences, her ideal type has always been a safe and reliable soldier. She said when she was very young that she wanted to find a soldier as her boyfriend.
To be honest, nothing made Jiang Lai feel safer than that olive green shirt. She had to thank Su Erniu for pulling Shi Cheng to her side.
Although she won't marry Shi Cheng because of public opinion like the original owner did, at least she'll have less trouble, right?
Shi Cheng likes the original owner of this body. If things really develop like the original story, Shi Cheng will definitely go to the Jiang family to propose marriage. Jiang's parents will definitely be under pressure from public opinion. Even if they don't force her to marry, they will definitely make her think twice about how to get married because of this.
Of course, if things really develop like the plot in the book, then she won't have anything to do with it.
Now, back to the present, the person who saved her has changed to Ye Anguo. As far as Ye Anguo's situation is concerned, if she is unwilling, Jiang's parents will think carefully about the three children that Ye Anguo has adopted.
As for Jiang Lai's current situation, Ye Anguo's appearance is actually not bad, just a bit dark-skinned. Jiang Lai is also at the age to get married. As an orphan, she wants to get married before she turns 30 and have a home of her own, but she transmigrated into the book before she could achieve that goal.
Jiang Lai is not young now, but she is already twenty years old. In the 1970s, when most girls were already looking for partners at the age of seventeen or eighteen, twenty years old was already considered a grown woman. For example, some of Jiang Lai's classmates already had two children.
Jiang Lai is already 26 years old in her mind. She would never be interested in dating a boy who is younger and less mature than her. She would think that would be very childish.
To be honest, Ye Anguo is more in line with Jiang Lai's aesthetic. For Jiang Lai, Ye Anguo's three children are not a problem, since they are not Ye Anguo's biological children anyway.
Well, Jiang Lai likes kind, sensible, mature, and stable men who make her feel safe. Ye Anguo's appearance fits the bill quite well, and as for personality, Jiang Lai doesn't mind dating around.
If you don't get along, you can just break up. It's normal to break up if you're not compatible in a relationship. She's someone who came in 2025, so she doesn't care if others gossip about it.
Okay, we've gone off on a tangent. Let's get back to Jiang Lai's cheat-like ability: her portable space.
This portable space is a real world that exists just like Earth, except that there are no people inside, and there are even more ferocious beasts than outside.
Besides this, Jiang Lai has absolute control over this personal space. In Jiang Lai's eyes, this entire personal space is transparent, without any concealment or secrets. As long as he wants, he can take the supplies in the entire personal space anytime and anywhere, at will.
Of course, what surprised Jiang Lai the most was that after this personal space recognized her as its master, she was in control of it. She could even control the flow of time, as well as the gravity field, wind field, rainstorm, scorching sun, lightning and thunder that she had read about in novels. She could do whatever she wanted.
Most importantly, Jiang Lai can bring others into her personal space. Moreover, the stronger Jiang Lai's mental power, the more people she can bring in. Furthermore, the personal space also comes with its own cultivation method for mental power.
Raised by soldiers and often running around the military compound, Jiang Lai immediately thought of the use of this space—it was practically a free training ground!
Moreover, not to mention the numerous plants and animals in the forest, there are also vast tracts of fertile land in the space. If we make good use of them, even if we haven't developed hybrid rice yet, as long as we make good use of the flow of time, we won't have to worry about not having enough food.
As a child raised by soldiers, there is no doubt about Jiang Lai's patriotism. After obtaining this portable space, Jiang Lai's first reaction was that it was a free, rare, and very useful training ground.
Of course, besides this idea, Jiang Lai also thought about the benefits for herself. Not only did she gain an extra farm and breeding ground, she also gained the ability to protect herself. It could be said that she now has everything except her husband and children. If she were to be a bit lazy, she could probably just lie there and live her life without ever having to turn over a new leaf.
On her first night with the portable space, Jiang Lai was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She played in the portable space all night, testing gravity, wind, water power... in short, she tried every method until her mental energy was completely exhausted before she finally got a good night's sleep.
However, Jiang Lai had only been asleep for a little over two hours when she was woken up again by Liu Aihua and Jiang Bolin. Upon being informed that she had an extra fiancé, Jiang Lai immediately became alert.
