Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 316 - 312: Please save Shishi!

——————

To keep a close watch on his mother, Yan Jinchang spent the night sleeping on a makeshift bed beside her.

Unfortunately, as soon as daylight broke, Little Rong came looking for him, saying the Chief wanted to see him.

The Chief must have known he was tending to his mother, yet still sought him out—it had to be an urgent matter. He couldn’t stay to personally see his mother off on the train and had to entrust Little Rong with ensuring his mother boarded the train and to return only after it had left the station.

Little Rong, realizing the gravity of Commander Yan Rong’s instructions, swore on his heart to complete the task.

Yan Jinchang left with great unease.

Little Rong found himself blushing—an exceedingly rare occurrence—as he faced the polite and gentle Mother Yan.

Upon seeing her obediently board the train early, he felt even more embarrassed. While he appreciated her cooperation, he caught a glimpse of another target—a tall and thin figure—and had to make a choice. After hurriedly advising Mother Yan to be careful on her journey and wishing her a safe arrival, he followed after the figure.

As soon as Little Rong disappeared, Qi Chunlan immediately got off the train and headed straight for the military base.

When she arrived, she happened to run into Zhang Shanni, who had overslept after staying up too late chatting the night before, as she was leaving the family residential building.

Having not heard the military bugle calls for so long, Zhang Shanni had suffered from severe lack of sleep. She now understood all too well how easily one can grow accustomed to luxury.

Zhang Shanni had just reached the ground floor when she saw Qi Chunlan, looking like a gust of wind, rush towards her. Disregarding the presence of numerous other military wives who were idly chatting on the narrow path, Qi Chunlan arrived sobbing and pleaded with her:

"Zhang Shanni, I’m begging you as a mother, please save Shishi! He’s had another attack, please... for the eight months he shared your womb with you, save him!"

Zhang Shanni was startled by her behavior and actions, but before she could even grasp the meaning of her words, she saw her trying to approach impulsively. Zhang Shanni immediately took two steps back with a sense of alertness and exclaimed:

"Lady, please keep a safe distance from me!"

Just awakened and still slightly disoriented from the bugle call, Zhang Shanni felt perplexed.

She had heard from her husband that Little Rong would be at the entrance of the base by nine to take her back to the county town. If it weren’t for the alarm clock, she might have missed the time.

Descending the stairs, she didn’t see Little Rong; instead, she encountered someone who should not be appearing before her, putting her on high alert.

Seeing Qi Chunlan’s face covered in tears, her red-rimmed eyes seemingly genuine, but how could it be? Clearly she...

"Zhang Shanni, can’t your heart be a little less harsh? He’s your biological brother! If you hadn’t taken so much nutrition in the womb, how would your brother have been born so ill? Please, I’m begging you, save him!"

The bystanders who heard Qi Chunlan’s cries looked at Zhang Shanni with peculiar expressions.

However, the more rational military wives started to doubt: they had never heard that Vice Rongwei Commander Xie’s wife had any medical knowledge.

"How ridiculous, you ask me to save your son, but who will save the children in my womb? Do you think your younger son is innocent and mine are not? With a birth mother like you, Zhang Shanni is truly down on her luck!"

Zhang Shanni grew increasingly sullen and emotionally perturbed as she heard the other party demanding that she ’save’ Yan Jinsi ’now’. She roared in a rage, "Don’t forget, to save your younger son now, you’re asking to extract my bone marrow immediately, not just to draw some blood! Who’s being unreasonable and cold-hearted now?"

"Hiss..." The military wives who had been eavesdropping on the morning’s drama gasped in shock upon hearing the revelation.

"How could that be the same thing? Your child hasn’t been born yet, but my Shishi has been with me for nineteen years!" Qi Chunlan, seeing Zhang Shanni’s extreme guardedness, cried out frantically.

"Hah—Lady Qi, are you out of your mind?!! Aside from giving birth to this body, have you ever fulfilled a mother’s responsibilities for even a single day? Where do you get the audacity to think that I would harm my flesh and blood to cater to your maternal affections?"

Zhang Shanni stroked her belly, her face indifferent as she sized up the other party, as if they were telling some preposterous joke.

The observing Mrs. Rongs felt that they had witnessed a melodramatic farce; it was indeed a preposterous joke!

How could Zhang Shanni allow the sword of public opinion to point at her? She hadn’t done anything wrong!

"I don’t care, come back to the capital with me right now, you must terminate the pregnancy immediately! Otherwise, it’ll be too late..."

As soon as Qi Chunlan heard the chief doctor say there was only one month left to live, she couldn’t care less about anything else; what she expressed was her deepest thoughts.

"...In your dreams!" Zhang Shanni put her guard up the moment she heard such a definite statement.

"No! Come back with me quickly, stop wasting time!" Qi Chunlan suddenly lifted her head, her reddened eyes appeared dark and bleak, unexpectedly charging towards Zhang Shanni with forceful words!

The Mrs. Rongs were also startled, the younger ones had already formed a protective cordon, gradually surrounding Qi Chunlan...

This woman, in her frenzy, could scare people to death!

When Zhang Shanni saw the malicious look in Qi Chunlan’s eyes, she got scared once again, thankfully Little Rong, who had been waiting and grew anxious not seeing Zhang Shanni, had come to the family area, fearing she had met with an accident.

Just in time to see the tense atmosphere ready to explode, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted loudly, "Stop it!"

This shout, like a thunderclap, jolted everyone to their senses, and Zhang Shanni looked at Qi Chunlan, still unsettled—

"Let go of me, let go of me, all of you let go of me! Zhang Shanni, don’t be so selfish, it’s all your fault Shishi is hurt! Ah—let go!"

Little Rong was truly terrified by Qi Chunlan’s crazed state, reaching to pull back Zhang Shanni’s arm to retreat, gently comforting:

"Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you back first!"

"Alright, let’s go quickly!" Zhang Shanni quickly agreed, still shaken, and gratefully accepted Little Rong’s support, finally avoiding Qi Chunlan’s approach.

Seeing this, Little Rong withdrew his hand, quietly walking beside her, while protecting her as they left the family building.

Qi Chunlan’s behavior had truly disappointed Zhang Shanni.

Although she had no special expectations for the Yan Family, she had never imagined that Qi Chunlan would go as far as to become possessed to this extent, actually willing to harm her unborn child to save her younger son!

It was terrifying!

It was madness!

Zhang Shanni, having been startled by this episode upon waking up, broke into a cold sweat and pretended to rest with closed eyes as soon as she got into the car.

The one who was frightened, of course, wasn’t Zhang Shanni herself, but the tiny sprout inside her; being alive, it could sensitively feel the emotions from the outside world.

Especially Qi Chunlan’s evil thoughts were magnified, and the small sprout, due to its small size, felt the intense dislike targeting it in an instant.

At that moment, Zhang Shanni was only tenderly ’coaxing’ her precious baby, hoping it to be well, as it was very fragile. Zhang Shanni could only pour all her blissful affection onto it, letting it feel the warmth of maternal love.

As soon as Zhang Shanni left, the matter concerning Qi Chunlan was quickly conveyed to Tao Songjian, and at the same time, Xie Jingchen also received a phone call. It was as if a hornet’s nest had been stirred, and everyone’s face turned grim.

Yet, there was no way to deal with Qi Chunlan, the mother who had blindly become hysterical solely for her younger son’s illness.

Zhang Shanni, absorbed in caring for the emotions of the babies in her belly, hadn’t noticed that the military car she was riding in was moving farther and farther away from its destination—
