Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 274 - 270: Does Zhang Shan Ni live here?

——————

With Zheng Changqing’s departure, Xie Jingchen didn’t feel more relieved; instead, he became even more vigilant, bracing himself for any emergencies that might arise.

By now, he could be sure that Ding Wangzhong couldn’t possibly be ’Scar’.

If Scar were so easy to lure out, he wouldn’t have remained hidden for over three years, with the authorities still unable to find him.

On the other hand, he intensified his investigation into Fatty and Tanning Temple.

Yet, for three consecutive calm days, not only did Ding Wangzhong leave no traces, but Zheng Changqing was also held up out of town, unable to return.

Today, while in hiding, he noticed the boy called Xiao Lei appearing in front of his little wife again, instantly heightening his alertness.

After all, his little wife had encountered this unusual family of four earlier than their military unit had.

Two men of contrasting builds, plus a pair of children.

The older child is ten years old; the younger one is only four. Despite being not much different in age from Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, they are both exceedingly bright and clever.

It seems that since Shanni started living in the county town, Xiao Lei has been visiting more frequently. Sometimes by himself, sometimes bringing along the girl called Little Yaya.

The children’s interactions with Xiuhua are very harmonious, as if they are genuinely seeking ’maternal love’ from her. Ever since Xiuhua became pregnant, she has indeed become fond of children, finding every child adorable.

Of course, she only watches them. Even with Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, she refuses to hold hands if they’re not clean, let alone hug any child that comes her way to show affection.

Perhaps because Xiao Lei and Little Yaya look too frail, even Xie Family’s parents, upon seeing the orphaned children, overflow with sympathy, not to mention Xie Jingzi, the little aunt.

Especially Xiaoqi and Xiao Si, knowing that the others are orphans, the four children seem especially close.

And Little Yaya is truly the most pitiable; despite her sweet smile every day, her arms were forcefully dislocated repeatedly since she was young in the orphanage, leading to habitual dislocations of her little elbows—

Even in moments of such pain, she could smile and say, "It’s okay," calmly letting her brother Xiao Lei ’set’ them back into place. She wouldn’t cry or even wince!

When Xie Jingzi and Xiaoqi first witnessed it, they cried rivers of tears.

In contrast, the subject of their concern, Little Yaya, appeared very unsettled, quietly comforting them in fear, saying that she’s doing fine now, that her brother and Uncle Fatty, Uncle Shou have been wonderfully kind to her. They not only rescued her from the bad people but also taught Xiao Lei how to set her bones properly. Her life is already very fortunate.

Content people are endearing. Xie Tiesheng saw ’contentment brings happiness’ from this little girl and often uses it to remind his partner to be more cheerful—to live well is to look after the children better!

Seeing steadfast Little Yaya, Xiao Si seems to have grown up all at once and even secretly learned how to set bones from brother Xiao Lei.

Thus, the arrival of Xiao Lei and Little Yaya brought a vigorous ’vitality’ to Xiaoqi and Xiao Si, and although Zhang Shan Ni felt her husband always ’peeping’, she didn’t stop the two children from getting close to their family.

She believes that these two children would not be great villains.

Although Xie Jingchen is Zhang Shan Ni’s husband, within the mission, he is just a soldier, where obeying orders is his duty. Despite being extremely worried about his wife’s safety, he can still keep his composure with just the children’s interactions with her.

It’s not that he doesn’t love his wife and child, but the mission lies upon him. Logically, due to its relevance to his family, he should recuse himself, but with the mission already assigned, he can’t withdraw halfway. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Moreover, due to the secrecy of the mission, he cannot reveal anything to his wife.

Even because Xiao Lei’s children have been visiting his wife too frequently, he hasn’t returned home for nearly half a week.

He just told his wife that it was part of the mission and sent her back to the small western-style building. With her parents looking after her, he could have some peace of mind.

Xie Jingchen is only in hiding, and also, due to special methods of sensing his wife, after deliberately giving away his presence to her several times, he distinctly felt his wife becoming more guarded of her surroundings.

Especially before Xiao Lei’s children’s visits, he could always vaguely sense his wife’s ’awareness’.

But this day, as Zhang Shan Ni’s spirit swept over the yard at home, she discovered an impossible figure—

Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua had gone for an afternoon nap, and being the weekend, after six days of classes, the little aunt Zhou Xiu didn’t want to disturb her parents, so she ran the shop herself.

Ever since starting the pickled meat business half a month ago, business has been great. Plus, with Zhang Shan Ni’s modern concepts and excellent hygiene, many people are willing to try ’Good Sauce’. Once they try, they become regular customers, and now several state-owned units want to order meat from their family.

It’s now past three in the afternoon, a time usually reserved for naps. Xie Jingzi takes the opportunity to quietly recite her Chinese textbook, occasionally hearing the joyous laughter of Little Yaya from the second-floor living room.

Every time Little Yaya visits, Xiaoqi is extraordinarily happy, having a playmate of similar age, albeit Little Yaya is slightly younger but has a more mature mindset and always yields to her. Xiaoqi isn’t the overbearing type, and the two girls always chatter away happily.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lei and Xiao Si are practicing their calligraphy to one side. Zhang Shan Ni, having overslept, isn’t tired, and took the chance to make some sweet melon pastries. Watching the children eating and frolicking, she’s very pleased.

Xie Jingzi ate one too, feeling full, wanting to stretch lazily, but she abruptly sees an extra shadow in front of the shop—

The shadow belonged to a very thin but tall figure; the thinness made him appear taller, and his height was noteworthy in itself. Upon the unexpected sight, Xie Jingzi immediately muttered to herself: a bamboo pole!

The backlight made it difficult to see the face clearly, and Xie Jingzi didn’t think much of it at first. But when the person slightly moved aside, the sun shone on his pale, paper-white face, revealing his delicate and familiar features—

Xie Jingzi stuttered in astonishment!

"Excuse me, does Zhang Shan Ni live here?" A deep, hoarse male bass voice arose smoothly.
