Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 706 - 702: A Child Without a Mother Is Like a Blade of Grass
Chapter 706: Chapter 702: A Child Without a Mother Is Like a Blade of Grass
——————
"Third Sister-in-law, please wake up soon..." Xie Jingzi sat beside Yan Jinsu. It had been a month since the explosion.
Yan Jinsu’s body didn’t have any major issues, and the fetus was developing normally. However, she was lying in bed, completely sustained by nutrient liquid, her body alarmingly thin.
The little bit of flesh she had put on earlier had long since disappeared, but her abdomen, following the development of the fetus, was becoming noticeably larger.
Yan Jinsu just quietly lay on the bed, a month later, the weather in Beijing had already started to warm up.
Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi at first panicked upon seeing Mom always sleeping, but now they had become very sensible. They still napped with Mommy every day, and the rest of the time they followed Wang Chunmei’s instructions, studying or playing with toys in the East Nuan Pavilion.
Seeing Third Sister-in-law’s frail and silent figure, Xie Jingzi’s tears silently flowed:
"Third Sister-in-law, if you don’t wake up soon, that jerk Third Brother is going to change his heart!
That Yan Jinxian is becoming more and more disgusting! She even dares to demand that Third Brother tell her where her husband is?
What does her husband going missing have to do with Third Brother? She’s always finding excuses to come over, doesn’t she have any shame?
Hmph, ridiculous! She just has her sights set on Third Brother! Huh, even if she wants to act like a floozy, it depends on whether or not Third Brother is blind!
Third Sister-in-law, I really hate her! That wicked woman, whenever she sees Third Brother, those disgusting eyes just glue onto him and won’t let go, she even wants to get close to him!"
Sobbing, the more Xie Jingzi spoke about Yan Jinxian, the more furious she became, continuing to rant and reveal all about Third Brother alone, growing increasingly angry:
"That evil woman, playing the saint but acting like a whore, she really is a despicable woman!
If it weren’t for Third Brother’s quick reactions, Yan Jinxian would have ’fallen’ into his arms several times! I bet you didn’t see those comical scenes! Do you think Third Brother would help her up? Every time I see her fall like a dog, it feels so satisfying!
That Yan Jinxian really is shameless, does she think she’s the most beautiful woman in the world? Daring to dress in such thin clothes during the thaw, thinking that wearing something slightly see-through and showing her flat chest will make men fall for her?
Hmph, Third Brother is no saint either. There’s no smoke without fire. If Third Brother wasn’t so indecisive, how could that bad woman appear by his side over and over? Hmph, if Uncle dared to do that, I would definitely divorce him!"
Indeed, classic protective younger sister!
But sadly, the pregnant woman lying on the bed still showed no signs of movement.
Xie Jingchen, who had completely tuned out his little sister’s absurdities, leaned at the door talking with Zhou Zhenghui about business matters, occasionally getting distracted by his sister’s swearing at him.
Unfortunately, the woman he cared about the most just lay there quietly. He didn’t even have the desire to explain. If these words could stimulate his wife to wake up, it would be good.
Xie Jingchen held this extravagant hope, allowing his little sister to tarnish his image daily right in front of him, yet he remained calm as he discussed clues and task progress with his brother-in-law.
After the Lantern Festival, it seemed like the Shantian Organization had entirely vanished, without any further activity, and even Uncle Shou and Little Ya’s whereabouts couldn’t be found.
Xiao Lei, too worried and having seen Yan Jinsu’s sister in such a condition when he was brought back to the Siheyuan, grew increasingly emoitionally distressed and physically weak.
If Xie Jingchen had not given him the task of caring for Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, giving him something to hope for in life, the child would have really fallen ill.
Seeing that whatever he said bore no change in Third Sister-in-law, Xie Jingzi felt really low. She gently placed her small hand on Third Sister-in-law’s belly, pleading:
"Third Sister-in-law, please stop being lazy. Wake up. If you don’t wake up soon, the babies will turn as thin as kindling.
Think about it, you haven’t eaten properly for a month. The babies haven’t been fed either! Also, this past month, Xiao Shi and Xiaojiu have become steady on their feet, and they learned to eat on their own.
Even when I want to feed them, they refuse! Do you know what they said? They said, ’Mommy is ignoring them. Children without a mother are just like weeds...’"
Xie Jingzi’s face was close to Third Sister-in-law’s belly, feeling the slowly strong fetal heartbeats. With tears blurring her vision, she wiped away her tears, and in her confusion, she felt Third Sister-in-law’s fingers twitch—
Xie Jingzi immediately stopped wiping her tears, allowing them to drop onto Third Sister-in-law’s palm. This time, she indeed saw Third Sister-in-law’s middle finger twitch and she stared at Third Sister-in-law’s hand, screaming excitedly:
"Third Brother, Third Brother, come quickly, Third Sister-in-law’s finger just moved!"
When Xie Jingchen heard his younger sister calling him, he instinctively rushed into the room, just in time to see Yan Jinsu’s finger twitch again!
"Wife?" Xie Jingchen pushed his little sister aside, his hands trembling as he grasped Yan Jinsu’s slight shoulders, leaning over her head, calling out excitedly:
"Wife, wife, wake up!"
However, Yan Jinsu just slightly moved her fingers a few times, showing no signs of regaining consciousness yet.
Nevertheless, this still made the relatives and friends watching over her feel that it was a good sign. After the doctor’s examination, the diagnosis given was also hopeful.
Later, Xie Jingchen asked his younger sister what she had last said that elicited a response from his little wife. Whatever it was, if it could make his beloved wife wake up sooner, Xie Jingchen was willing to try anything.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingzi’s sorrowful words caused Xie Jingchen’s heart to cramp, suffocating in dismay—
"What did I say? Sob, sob, Third Brother, I was just saying Little Jiu’er and Little Shier wouldn’t let us feed them anymore. Because they said they want to be independent, to grow up, and also said:
’Mommy can’t wake up, she doesn’t want them anymore, children without a mother are just weeds...’
Third Brother, my heart aches, I hate myself! Third Sister-in-law was only trying to protect us, it’s all my uselessness..."
Hearing such words, Xie Jingchen felt a deep pain, and a doubt emerged on his long-held perseverance.
If loyalty and obedience to Rong Team would cause his loved one to suffer again and again, what right did he have to take his loved one’s silent sacrifices for granted?!
Although this self-doubt emerged briefly, it left a mark in Xie Jingchen’s heart.
Regarding this accident involving his little wife, Xie Jingchen felt truly guilty. Between his wife and the Rong Order, he chose to obey the Rong Order, which was his duty as Rong Wei.
Yet, at the same time, he felt he had wronged his wife.
Under the facts of his wife’s injuries and coma, this guilt caused him night after night of insomnia. Every night, he would just silently hold his unconscious wife, gazing blankly at her beautiful, lifeless face—
