Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 469 - 464 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 19

------------

Yan Jinsu was completely unaware that far away, many people were still thinking about her. Of course, even if she knew through telepathy, she wouldn’t care.

At this moment, she was just wondering when her husband would finally return to his hometown.

It was not because she wanted her husband back to support her due to issues with her elder aunt. She simply felt uneasy due to the distance from her husband and the feeling that their home was missing a man.

Especially Xiao Shi, who hadn’t seen his dad for two days, was now acting spoiled and irritable with Yan Jinsu, and no matter how she tried to amuse him, he would just turn his chubby body away, ignoring both his brother and mom.

Being just a toddler, he was a little pink bundle, while Xiao Jiu was happily playing beside him with a rattle, making joyful noises. Xiao Shi, however, was paying no attention to anyone, just casting his gaze toward the door from time to time.

Xiao Jiu was used to his younger sister’s temper tantrums and would often ignore her antics to continue playing on his own when she was being moody.

Xiao Shi, being even less intelligent, would silently stare at the door when neither mom nor brother paid attention to her, and in the absence of dad, she wouldn’t cry.

However, as long as either brother or mom was there, her foul mood wouldn’t last long - about ten minutes or so before she would start trying to ingratiate herself with cooing sounds to her brother. And Yan Jinsu?

Well, the little lady would just blow bubbles, her big eyes, so resembling Yan Jinsu’s, looking at her with pure innocence, making it utterly impossible to feel even the slightest annoyance towards her.

Following the hectic day yesterday, the Xie Family’s home was very quiet today.

Early in the morning, Xie Jingwei came over with Xiao Wu and apologized to his parents, explaining that Xu Xiaofen did not make it yesterday because of matters at her parental home, as she was staying there directly.

In reality, it’s just at the end of the village, a short trip back and forth, but from this behavior, Xie Tiesheng could tell that his eldest daughter-in-law was harboring some grievances against them.

Zhou Xiuhua deliberately ignored this, merely scoffing playfully and happily letting her grandchildren gather around her with candies and snacks.

Having been married into the Xie Family for more than a decade, what kind of person Xu Xiaofen was, Zhou Xiuhua knew very well.

It was merely Xu Xiaofen’s petty temperament and feeling that since the family’s properties had been divided, there was no need to continue pleasing the old in-laws.

Zhou Xiuhua genuinely felt that even if she were truly bedridden, she wouldn’t expect this daughter-in-law to sincerely take good care of her and attend to their old bones.

Just as her old man had said, they had made money and had savings. Moreover, little Ni was generous, never prying into their earnings from selling braised meats and zongzi in the county town.

With money of their own, if they really become unable to move in their old age, they might as well follow the trend and move into a nursing home!

That way, they wouldn’t have to bother their sons and could have companions their own age, with facilities like card rooms available, and even form a group to sing opera~~

Wouldn’t that be better than being a burden to their children and grandchildren in their old age? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Having lived in the county town of X County for half a year, Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua’s perspectives had greatly changed, no longer adhering to the notion that sticking to old ways was necessarily right.

One lives a lifetime; only by trying different things can one know what truly suits oneself.

Like the eldest daughter’s situation, if it had occurred a year ago, the couple might have felt as if the sky was falling, constantly feeling that their eldest daughter, Da Niu, was being unfairly targeted!

But now, having lived in the county town and heeded Yan Jinsu’s advice, they can approach their eldest daughter’s marital crisis with a more rational mindset.

As Yan Jinsu said, a three-legged frog is hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere.

If it truly becomes unbearable, who leaves whom, the earth still spins.

Moreover, they may not trust the people of the Fan Family, but they do trust Fan Jiefang, their son-in-law, in terms of his character.

If Fan Jiefang had had any flaws back then, Xie Jingchen would never have set him up with his second sister.

It was because he deeply trusted that Fan Jiefang could take good care of his second sister that Xie Jingchen supported their relationship.

Xie Tiesheng squinted his eyes, silently watching his eldest son leave with a disheartened spirit, while the much happier Xiao Wu, left alone, was completely unaffected by her father’s somber mood.

As long as Grandpa and Grandma return, if their mother dares to go too far again, there will be someone to restrain her!

The little girl is not naive, she is seven this year, especially after being oppressed by her own mother for most of the past year, even her innocence has matured through these tough days.

Now she knew that having Grandpa and Grandma around meant at least her older and second brothers wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Eating the precious fruit candies in her mouth, Xiao Wu savored them, feeling regret that her eldest and second brothers had to go to school today and missed out on these delicious candies.

As for the small dish of candies on the wooden table, Xiao Wu didn’t even glance at it.

Although she was only seven years old, she knew well from her upbringing that taking without asking is stealing, so she didn’t even look in that direction.

The five-month-old Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi don’t yet know what candy tastes like, seeing their older siblings eating candies around them, they didn’t make any gesture to ask for some.

Because Yan Jinsu strictly ordered everyone to feed them candy, at this moment seeing everyone eating candy, for the little twins, ’candy’ is like salt, a term they don’t understand.

For this matter, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi have always felt that the Second Aunt truly loves them, because Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi didn’t get any candy, yet the Second Aunt occasionally gives them the sweetest and tastiest candies.

Seeing that Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi are still young and have no candies, Xiaoqi decided she would no longer feel sad about the Second Aunt favoring them more!

Yan Jinsu knows what the clever Xiaoqi is thinking, but she believes that young children initially don’t even know what tastes good. Besides, the two little ones have been consuming formula milk and her Spirit Core Water, so they don’t need additional sugar.

Unlike Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, who grew up in more limiting conditions, they lack various microelements compared to Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.

It is only Yan Jinsu, with her modern perspective, who feels that there is a significant difference.

To the people of this era, don’t all children look the same?

In rural families, isn’t every child characterized by a yellow face and sparse hair, appearing dark-skinned?

Zhou Xiuhua, having raised so many children, never knew if the children she raised lacked anything.
