Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 290 - 286: Scared the In-laws

——————

"Heh——" Zhang Shanni abruptly sat up, taking several heavy breaths, her mind unsettled as she touched her inflating belly under the dim light, instinctively glancing at the empty bed beside her.

She picked up the watch from the table and checked the time, 3 AM!

The background in her dream had truly frightened her.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, it was only after her heart had calmed that she got out of bed to go to the bathroom for her physiological needs.

The next day, Zhang Shanni appeared in front of the Xie Family looking extremely pale.

Five more days had passed since Xie Jingchen’s last visit.

It might be because she was living in the county town, which was closer to Tanning Temple, that she had started to faintly hear the groaning of the peach tree over the past two days!

Unfortunately, Tanning Temple was now sealed off by Rong Wei; not only could ordinary people not enter, but even getting close would subject them to scrutiny.

Now that she had moved away from the Rong Team to live in the county town, those petty conflicts no longer reached her.

Life was dull as water, exactly the kind that suited a pregnant woman like her.

In this half a month, aside from Qi Chunlan making a fuss once, after Yan Jinsi woke up and insisted on returning to the capital, it all fizzled out.

Speaking of which, Zhang Shanni felt quite positive about this little twin brother.

With the current level of medical science, Yan Jinsi’s illness was really troublesome.

But in Zhang Shanni’s eyes, the illness wasn’t too difficult, although it also depended on his luck.

As long as during her childbirth, the umbilical cord and his blood type matched, and if the compatibility reached ninety percent, the medicine from her space could be used to cultivate marrow factors suitable for him, and after properly nurturing him for a while, his illness would essentially be cured.

Of course, this premise was that the postpartum umbilical cord could successfully match him.

In Zhang Shanni’s view, since they were identical twins, the chance of a successful match was 99.99%.

Moreover, with the medicine she secretly fed him through her husband, and the considerable amount of Level 3 Superpower Water he drank, his disease could remain stable for a while.

Unfortunately, her goodwill, as seen by Qi Chunlan, his birth mother, seemed, uh—people just didn’t know what she had secretly done for her brother... so, being misunderstood as ’cold-blooded, selfish’, was somewhat understandable.

However, Zhang Shanni didn’t mind her attitude.

Moreover, she wasn’t the type to boast about her good deeds until others acknowledged them.

She didn’t care for gratitude; as long as they didn’t disturb her life, it was fine.

Furthermore, with her cautious nature, her preferred approach was to quietly understand the ’human nature’ before considering whether a person was worth forming deep ties with!

Despite how Qi Chunlan might seem eager to reclaim her maternal role, Zhang Shanni could tell at a glance that she just wanted to save her own little twin brother. Later, the letter from Uncle further confirmed her thoughts.

It’s not that she thought too much; the Yan Family people, along with Tao Songjian and her own husband, who couldn’t see the urgency in Qi Chunlan’s eyes?

Honestly speaking, if it were her child, Zhang Shanni might have had the same mentality as Qi Chunlan.

People’s fingers vary in length, and naturally, so do their hearts. This is a fact, things and people are always this realistic.

Driven by Qi Chunlan’s focus entirely on her sick child, Zhang Shanni didn’t harbor any spare thoughts.

To her, the Yan Family was merely bound by blood ties; there was no emotional depth between them, hence no pain or sorrow either.

Her open emotional declarations were only meant for her own husband.

That afternoon, just as Qi Chunlan was losing her composure and spoke out, Yan Jinhao arrived.

Zhang Shan Ni knew that her sickly younger brother could come to the county town smoothly, and it was actually thanks to his efforts.

She knew he wanted to test her attitude, but didn’t want to be too explicit, so he had Yan Jinsi come in person.

Perhaps his intentions were good, but Zhang Shan Ni still felt that this older brother was not as straightforward and refreshing as Yan Jinchang.

Compared to him, Zhang Shan Ni preferred Yan Jinchang’s practical approach.

After Yan Jinsi’s condition improved, when the Yan Family left, she pretended not to know. She didn’t want to send them off, as that might lead to misunderstandings.

At this time, the look on Zhang Shan Ni’s face appeared even more worried to Xie Tiesheng and his daughter Xie Jingzi.

Now that everything at home was on the right track, the health of Third Sister-in-law seemed to be deteriorating, and today she looked particularly pale when she came downstairs, not only startling Xie Jingzi but also shocking Xie Tiesheng.

Since becoming pregnant, Zhang Shan Ni’s complexion had always been lightly rosy, visibly indicating her healthy condition.

However, after 3 in the morning, Zhang Shan Ni could not sleep at all.

The events in her dream created a sense of urgency in her heart, making her feel it was a warning!

It was like the peach tree giving her a warning, as if it was pleading her for something, and then as if paying interest first, it kept moaning ceaselessly in her spiritual realm, giving her a severe headache!

Shanni could no longer remember what exactly happened in the dream, only that the peach tree conveyed a kind of emotion that upset her a lot.

"Third Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?" Even though class time was approaching, Xie Jingzi couldn’t move her feet when she saw her sister-in-law’s complexion.

This Third Sister-in-law was pregnant with twins. She could not be indifferent knowing that she was feeling unwell and still selfishly go to school.

The elderly lady got up early and quickly fed Xiaoqi and Xiao Si some breakfast, and then took them to kindergarten.

Now only Mr. Xie and Xie Jingzi were at home. Xie Tiesheng did not speak, but his gaze constantly followed Zhang Shan Ni, and when the youngest daughter asked, he nodded alongside.

Clearly, he wanted to ask as well.

"Dad, youngest daughter, I’m fine, just woke up at three and didn’t get enough sleep, so I look pale. Don’t worry about me!"

"But..."

"Really, it’s nothing. Go to school quickly, daughter. I’m fine. I’m not going anywhere, and Dad is here, so you don’t have to worry."

Zhang Shan Ni waved her hand, signaling that she could leave.

"Alright, Third Sister-in-law, drink some meat soup. Mom made it this morning. If you really feel uncomfortable, just tell us, don’t endure it, okay?"

Xie Jingzi nodded, took out the steamed red dates and pork liver soup from the pot, and placed it in front of Zhang Shan Ni. Seeing her drinking it eagerly, she finally felt relieved.

It’s good she can eat. After greeting Xie Tiesheng, Xie Jingzi hesitantly went to school.

Seeing her father-in-law watching her drink the soup, Zhang Shan Ni quickly finished it, then grabbed a boiled egg and said to Xie Tiesheng, "Dad, I ate something, feeling a bit sleepy. I’ll go upstairs to sleep for a bit."

"Okay, go get some more sleep. It’s alright to sleep in." Hearing that she wanted to sleep, Xie Tiesheng finally felt relieved.

Zhang Shan Ni had always been healthy, so seeing her in discomfort was hard for Xie Tiesheng to accept. One should not only consider the monk’s face but also the Buddha’s face. After all, his son’s wife was carrying Old Xie Family’s twins, so it was better to be more careful.

Zhang Shan Ni nodded, held the egg in her hand, and stood up to leave.

Staying any longer, she felt that her father-in-law might worry even more.

After becoming pregnant, especially with her husband not at home, she rarely looked in the mirror. She had not expected that simply not sleeping well in the middle of the night could make her look so unwell that her family members were deeply concerned!

Had she known it would be like this, she would have applied a bit of makeup before coming downstairs.

Now it seemed she had scared her in-laws, and Zhang Shan Ni felt very apologetic.
