Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 280 - 276 Mom is Too Extreme After All
Chapter 280: Chapter 276 Mom is Too Extreme After All
-------------
Xie Jingchen returned home to the county town in the middle of the night. Silently making his way to the third floor, he surprisingly found his young wife sitting beneath the window sill, staring blankly into the night sky... lost in thought?
The sixteenth day of the lunar month had passed, and the moon, as if bitten by someone, was no longer round... Zhang Shanni, unusually, was suffering from insomnia. Gently turning her head, she looked toward her husband who finally chose to appear.
Waiting until the evening and still not seeing the man return home for dinner, Zhang Shanni felt deeply conflicted.
Xie Jingchen... surely didn’t believe she was a ’monster’ and just abandon her like this...?!
In fact, this notion was completely unfounded, because the Xie Family was still there! Deep down, Zhang Shanni knew her husband must be busy with tasks, which is why he had no time to come back.
Another thing, Yan Jinsi’s arrival inevitably meant that the Yan Family would come as well.
Moreover, Yan Jinsi had fainted right at her doorstep; who knows whether the original parents would curse her out in their hearts?
On this point, Zhang Shanni’s thinking was absolutely accurate.
Ever since hearing that her youngest son had gone to the military Rong District, Qi Chunlan’s emotions had been on the verge of exploding, but she had been restrained by her eldest son, preventing her from losing control.
Of course, it was through the hands of Yan Jinhao that Yan Jinsi managed to get to the military Rong District smoothly, and even Yan Jinxian managed to rush into the ward with such ease, thanks to Wu Jinhao’s secret instructions.
This ’Switched at Birth’ regret could not possibly be hidden from the younger brother for a lifetime, but no matter who it was, it was hard to broach the subject.
Just as Yan Jinxian was about to regain mobility, she used up all her money and finally bought a train ticket back to Capital City. Only then did she discover she couldn’t freely enter her own home anymore. Shocked, she had no choice but to rush to the hospital to find her brother —
Yan Jinxian poured out all her feelings, the hardships, and the pain she had suffered these days to Yan Jinsi. At that moment, Yan Jinhao was listening by their side, but the more he listened, the more his heart ached and he felt guilt for his biological sister named ’Zhang Shanni’.
Even if it wasn’t for his brother’s illness, he equally wished for his sister to acknowledge her lineage and return to the family.
Just as his twin brother had said, upon seeing her, he felt a bloodline Sensing urging him to ’protect’ her, which was irreplaceable and undeniable by anyone.
His taking his younger brother to meet his sister was not only partly due to the ’bloodline binding threat,’ but he also hoped Zhang Shanni would identify with the identity of the Yan Family’s daughter.
Regardless, the younger brother truly wished to meet his real ’biological sister,’ and although Yan Jinhao didn’t do much more, he still implicitly made his stance clear — freewebnoveℓ.com
Privately, he was more sympathetic toward his ill brother and hoped their sister, seeing how critical his condition was, would be willing to offer him a share of their bloodline.
It wasn’t overstepping; it’s just that the bond of bloodline within the Yan Family was indeed very profound.
Yan Jinchang only learned after the incident that his younger brother had actually come to the military Rong District! When Xie Jingchen informed him initially, he was so frightened that his heart almost stopped —
His sickly younger brother had just been transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward... and his eldest brother was so ruthless as to let the younger brother come alone!
Yan Dongsheng and Qi Chunlan didn’t arrive at the military Rong District until midnight. Seeing only their twin sons in the ward, and with no sign of their daughter, Qi Chunlan truly felt like she was going to lose her mind, screaming as she threw herself into her husband’s arms —
"Old Yan, Old Yan, even if I was wrong, Shishi hasn’t wronged her at all, so why is she so heartless, not even willing to glance at her once!"
Qi Chunlan, tugging at Yan Dongsheng’s collar and with the physical disparity between them, her violent outburst and brute strength were firmly suppressed in his embrace as he said:
"Chun Lan, don’t resent, it’s not her fault, she did nothing wrong..."
"Wuu wuu, I don’t want this, I don’t want Shishi to be in trouble! Please, save him, won’t you save him?" Qi Chunlan knew that she couldn’t possibly force Zhang Shanni to donate blood or bone marrow solely by her own power!
With Xie Jingchen, the deputy regimental commander, protecting her, she was just the lead singer of the Cultural Troupe; she had absolutely no influence!
"Chun Lan!" "Mom!"
Yan Dongsheng and Yan Jinchang spoke sharply, even Yan Jinhao, who had been thumped a few times by Qi Chunlan and had been standing aside, changed from his previous silence and guilt to pleadingly call out:
"Mom, don’t be rash!"
"You all keep telling me not to be rash, not to be rash, but Shishi is sick again because of him, how much longer can he last?" Qi Chunlan angrily yelled at Yan Jinhao hysterically.
"Mom, don’t blame big brother, it was actually Yan Jinxian who went and talked nonsense to the little brother... how can you blame big brother for that?" Yan Jinchang wasn’t giving it deeper thought; he instinctively defended his twin brother.
"Enough, Chun Lan, calm down!" Yan Dongsheng said soberly and sternly.
"..." Qi Chunlan looked painfully and incredulously at her husband and twin sons, the warmth in her heart fading bit by bit. She shook her head, broke free from her husband’s arms, and glared at the three of them, saying:
"You all are wholeheartedly protecting her, but does she even consider you family? Even when Shishi collapsed in front of her, she was nowhere to be seen!"
"Mom, you’re overthinking it, the sister didn’t know the little brother had collapsed! It was after he left her house that he fainted. It was brother-in-law who caught him and took him promptly to the hospital, she had no idea!"
"If her husband knew, how could she have not known!"
"Mom, she didn’t know! Right now, brother-in-law is on a mission, and he hasn’t been home for almost a week! You know about the military’s confidentiality agreements!"
"So how come..." Qi Chunlan still wanted to argue.
"Enough, Chun Lan, you’ve been a military wife for long enough!" Yan Dongsheng rebuked her strictly.
"Wuu wuu... You all favor her, you don’t care about Shishi’s life or death, do you?" Having said this, Qi Chunlan pushed past her eldest son, who was trying to stop her, and turned to leave.
She charged to the hospital, wanting to vent her heart out, but she knew it was futile. What she needed now was to stay calm, to really stay calm.
Her youngest son had a relapse, and his doctor had earlier said that he could hold on for half a month, yet not even a third of that time had passed!
How could Qi Chunlan stay calm at this thought?
Yan Jinhao and Yan Jinchang, who had followed their mother out, looked at their mother pacing anxiously on the spot, feeling equally distressed in their hearts.
But Zhang Shanni’s physical condition was really too special.
She was already pregnant with twins; it was hard enough for a pregnant woman to just supply her fetuses with nutrients, who would have the heart to suggest drawing her blood?
Even if her blood, right now, was a 100% match for the little brother, it would still be of no use.
The only thing to do now was to try to extend the little brother’s lifespan, hoping he could last until the younger sister gave birth.
To them, the little brother was very important. But to Xie Jingchen, were his wife and child not just as precious?
Therefore, Mom was indeed being too selfish and extreme.
