Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 307 - 303: Can’t Ignore the Mother and Her Two Sons

Chapter 307: Chapter 303: Can’t Ignore the Mother and Her Two Sons

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

Zhang Shan Ni only realized the man was getting into bed after she woke up from a sleep. She reached out for her watch and to her surprise, it was already past eleven at night.

"Honey, you’ve been talking for so long?" She went upstairs at a little past nine and had been asleep until now; that was already two hours ago.

"Mmm, we talked a bit about the Wang Family people. Fifth was feeling down, so I had a few drinks with him."

Before Xie Jingchen came upstairs, he had already washed up briefly downstairs, so now there was only a faint smell of alcohol on his body. If he hadn’t mentioned it, one wouldn’t even know he had nearly drunk a pound of alcohol.

"Oh, his family? What happened?" Zhang Shan Ni lay on him, feeling quite refreshed after her sleep, ready to have a good talk with her husband.

"Wang Xiaocui was acting crazy again, always following Fifth around, wanting to get back together. After seeing Fifth wouldn’t budge, she demanded the children. Thankfully, because of what you taught, Xiaoqi and Xiao Si were not taken away by her."

"That’s nothing. Now that Wang Junxuan has become a vegetable, she just has no more prospects."

"Why would Wang Guicai ever fancy such a woman to become his daughter-in-law. Later, after Wang Junxuan’s incident, he harbored even more resentment towards Wang Xiaocui and the Wang Xiaofei family. Now, the two families are really causing a ruckus back in the old village."

"Pfft, those two Wang families are really at each others’ throats."

"It’s really pitiful for Fifth—"

"What’s there to pity? Your little uncle is younger than you, although he has two kids, he’ll soon have a proper job in the county town, and he’s tall and good-looking. Are you really worried he’ll stay single?"

Zhang Shan Ni disagreed and continued to argue:

"You worry about the little uncle, you might as well spare more thoughts for Xiao Si and Xiaoqi. No matter whether little uncle remarries or not, they are the genuinely pitiable ones."

"..." Xie Jingchen fell silent; he had just been about to say that the truly pitiable ones were the two children of the fifth family; now his little wife had stolen his words and was blaming him?

Zhang Shan Ni continued:

"Think about it. If the little uncle remarries, at his age, he’s not likely to marry someone who’s divorced; he’ll definitely marry someone who’s never been married before, and that girl would surely want her own children! Xiao Si and Xiaoqi caught between their new mom and stepdad, sigh~~"

"If the little uncle doesn’t marry, though Xiao Si and Xiaoqi won’t have to deal with a stepmom and her kids, in the same way, the family won’t be complete, and Xiaoqi’s future upbringing will become troubling. By the way, did the little uncle mention where he plans to stay in the future?"

Zhang Shan Ni was more concerned about this issue.

"Fifth said he plans to move out with the two kids. He doesn’t have money at the moment, so the kids will still come over for meals."

"Mmm~~ That’s not too foolish." Zhang Shan Ni nodded and then made a decision:

"Only after he starts working will he have a stable income. Why rent a place? Let him live in the school for now. The kids can continue staying with us. After a year or two, once his job is stable, then he can take the kids back to live with him."

"Wouldn’t that be too tiring for you?"

"Not tiring. It’s not like I have to take care of them. Mom and dad are in better health than ever, having Xiao Si and Xiaoqi around to keep them company makes them take even better care of themselves, it’s killing two birds with one stone."

Xie Jingchen felt a softness in his heart, his little wife was always so generous, never being petty about these sorts of things.

"You being happy is all that matters."

"Hey, hubby, you’re getting quite the sweet talker, saying ’as long as I am happy’, but it’s actually all about your happiness!" Zhang Shan Ni twisted her body discontentedly and leaned most of her weight onto his chest, complaining.

"Yeah, wife, I am indeed very happy. But I don’t want to force you, if you feel uncomfortable, we can think of other solutions."

"There’s nothing uncomfortable. But after all, this is our home, and it’s fine if your little brother stays occasionally, but him staying here permanently is unacceptable. Not to mention anything else, just think about how our neighbors will gossip when my man is away from home for a long time, and his brother moves in."

Zhang Shan Ni had experienced the power of public opinion before, so she was particularly afraid of this kind of rumors.

She clearly meant well, but she would end up being accused of ’not acting like a proper woman’, and that would be a great loss for her!

"Yeah, it was thoughtless of me. I will talk to Mom about it properly, and won’t make things difficult for you." Xie Jingchen nodded, seeing her looking justified, he felt his little wife was really good at handling things.

"Good, as long as you’re not mad at me. The little aunt is manageable, but the little brother is truly troublesome. By the way, hubby, what time are you leaving tomorrow? I want to visit Tanning Temple to ask for a peace charm."

Though Tanning Temple was sealed, the monks and other people there hadn’t been relocated, it was just inconvenient for them to go out.

"Tomorrow? Shall we postpone it?"

"No, hubby, I’m feeling a bit nervous. Hubby, just take me there tomorrow, and if you don’t, I’ll go by myself, you know."

Zhang Shan Ni, seeing that her husband opposed, immediately resorted to threats.

She was also extremely annoyed by the constant moaning of the Peach Tree Demon and the discovery of potential signs of the apocalypse made her very nervous.

Additionally, she was six months pregnant and could start to increase her physical activities moderately, otherwise who knows if giving birth later would be trouble-free!

Thinking this, Zhang Shan Ni decided to go tomorrow to investigate the Peach Tree Spirit and take the opportunity to ask for a peace charm.

Worshipping gods, effective or not, she thought it was worth a try since being there must hold some significance, and with the Peach Tree Spirit appearing, she felt it was good to pray for some peace.

She had been there before and this time, she wanted to thoroughly uncover the essence of the Peach Tree Spirit!

"Alright, if you want to go, let’s go, shall I ask Mom to join you?" Xie Jingchen thought aloud.

"No, it’s under martial law after all, don’t make too much of an exception. Besides, tomorrow, let Fifth, Dad, and Mom spend some time together, and remind Mom that I’ll stay a few nights in the military base."

"What? You can’t bear to part with me?" Xie Jingchen tensed up upon hearing his wife wanted to stay at the military base and jokingly tried to make her reconsider.

"Yeah, hubby, I miss you, you haven’t properly spent time with us, mother and son, for so long." Zhang Shan Ni didn’t deny it, she said so also to cope with any possible emergencies.

To prevent any real trouble that might worry the elders.

At this moment, Zhang Shan Ni didn’t know how ’prophetic’ her anticipation and precautions were.

Xie Jingchen wanted to say something else but found that he couldn’t open his mouth: "..."

"What’s the matter? At the military base, are you hiding a beauty?" Zhang Shan Ni, seeing that he wasn’t talking, raised her head and glared at him. Seeing his guilty gaze, her heart softened and she comforted by patting his chest:

"Alright, I know you’re busy, but no matter how busy you are, you can’t ignore us, your wife and son!"
