Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 30 - 029 Terrifying

——————

"Which damn scoundrel dared to hit my daughter-in-law?"

After Zhou Daxiang's furious shout, seeing her son's reaction, she bore a fierce look as if she could devour someone. The same malicious gaze from the surrounding onlookers directed straight toward the corner at—Lin Aihong?!

Zhou Daxiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly aimed her burgeoning rage at Lin Aihong. She incredulously rushed over and grabbed Lin Aihong's arm, angrily demanding:

"Was it you?! Lin Aihong, what do you mean by this? Why did you harm my daughter-in-law? If you don't explain yourself today, don't blame me for beating you to death, you conscienceless wretch!"

Zhou Daxiang's chest heaved in fury, her gaze as menacing as if she wanted to eat Lin Aihong [The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, their fierce gazes matched in intensity]. It didn't matter to her that this young woman was just another minor from the same courtyard, or even if she was her own niece. If anyone harmed her precious grandson, she would still deal with them ruthlessly!

After all, they were just from the same courtyard, and her parents were just ordinary clerks. Lin Aihong's status did not warrant any hesitation from her.

Daring to harm the golden grandson of the Lis, they were all her, Zhou Daxiang's, class enemies!

Lin Aihong was so intimidated by Zhou Daxiang's gaze that she stepped back, but her elbow was tightly gripped, leaving her no room to escape. Yet, she hurriedly explained:

"Aunt Li, I didn't mean to harm Sister Chen! Really, I was just rushing home, so I might have cycled a bit fast, and you know there's a small slope on the way home, I, I didn't do it on purpose, I really did not hit Sister-in-law Chen!"

"Bullshit! If you didn't hit my daughter-in-law, how come she delivered prematurely? She wasn't due for another half month!"

Speaking of his daughter-in-law's belly, that was her precious grandson!

Due to her own youthful experiences, where she also struggled to conceive for many years under the harsh treatment of her mother-in-law, until after medical checks clarified it wasn't her fault due to low vitality, her mother-in-law started treating her better. Only after another two years did she conceive her only son, Feng'er.

Knowing this lack of vitality might be hereditary, she made sure to take extraordinary care of her daughter-in-law from the moment she entered the door, providing supplements for the couple. Even then, it took five full years before they conceived. Such a fetus, in the Lis, was extremely valuable!

Just because of her so-called 'carelessness', her grandson might be lost, and perhaps it would end up in a tragedy of loss of both lives. Zhou Daxiang, gasping for breath, could no longer suppress the fury in her chest and viciously slapped Lin Aihong across the face with a 'smack', cutting off any further protests with that slap!

Zhou Daxiang glared at her resentfully. Bolstered by her robust physique, she fiercely shouted: "You disaster-bringing star! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law or grandson, I'll make you join them in death!"

"Ah!" Lin Aihong was slapped hard by the robust woman; her previously smooth face instantly turned red and swollen. Yet, the onlookers didn't show her any sympathy!

Many among the crowd nodded in agreement with Zhou Daxiang's words. No matter the family background, everyone always holds hope for new life. Now this young girl had caused an accident and even attempted to flee, such a woman didn't deserve their persuasion nor help!

Lin Aihong, always a bully but coward at heart, did not dare to retaliate with Zhou Daxiang being so aggressive. She had been terrified by Zhou Daxiang's venomous look long ago. Now she just covered her aching face and whimpered, not even daring to cry loudly; her mind was filled only with the pain on her face and the fear in her heart.

"Mom, don't get too worked up, Xiufang still needs your care, don't harm yourself over this!"

Li Jianfeng, seeing his mother had hit someone, quickly moved to shield her from Lin Aihong's possible reach. Though his mother was fit, she was nearly fifty; if Lin Aihong really retaliated, his mother might get hurt!

"You, you are being too unreasonable! I said it was not intentional! It was an accident~~" Lin Aihong, having never been so severely reprimanded before, had her face slapped heavily by Aunt Li; her face immediately swelled up, turned red, sore, plus the skin was bruised. Only after she had slightly recovered from the pain in her mouth, did she furiously glare at the Li mother and son shouting back loudly!

Lin Aihong had never been treated like this before, even if she angered her parents, she was only scolded, they never dared to physically strike her!

Today, this slap on the ear is perhaps the greatest humiliation she has ever suffered in her life!

She was just going home out of habit; how could she have expected that today of all days, something would go wrong? The image of that dark and ugly girl with a basket flashed through her mind, and her heart was filled with sudden resentment and blame. It was all her fault!

Since Lin Aihong was spoiled from childhood, she harbored irrational resentment, not realizing that without Zhang Shanni's intervention, Chen Xiufang in the delivery room might have ended up in emergency childbirth, or worse, dead along with her unborn child!

"Shut up!" Mrs. Lin, who had also heard the rumors and arrived a step too late, stepped into the hospital's maternity ward just in time to see Sister Zhou fiercely, and mercilessly slap her beloved daughter.

Seeing her younger daughter come to her senses, filled with aggrieved anger, she felt immense pain inside, but had no choice but to scold her daughter loudly, then pleaded with Zhou Daxiang in a low and humble voice:

"Sister Zhou, Director Li, I'm sorry, Xiao Hong is young and ignorant. It's right for you to hit her, lest she becomes conceited and causes a big mess! But, Sister Zhou, Xiao Hong has grown up under your watch, and though she can be petty, she definitely doesn't intend to harm anyone.

This incident has indeed caused Xiufang a lot of suffering, it's truly Xiao Hong's fault. Once Xiufang has recovered, I will make sure Xiao Hong apologizes to her... Oh dear, this is all my fault, I've spoiled Xiao Hong, I will definitely teach her a lesson when we get home, this will not happen again!"

Mrs. Lin forcefully pulled her daughter behind her and bowed to apologize to the displeased mother and son of the Li Family. Seeing Zhou Daxiang looking fiercely angry, she glanced weakly at Li Jianfeng, her eyes filled with pleading.

Li Jianfeng, being a proud man, felt his indignation rise despite his worries about his wife in the delivery room, and though he harbored deep resentment, he found no outlet for it at that moment. He simply turned his head away, deciding that what you don't see can't hurt you, and managed to restrain his fierce gaze from Lin Aihong.

However, the suffering endured by his beloved wife at that moment was not something Li Jianfeng intended to simply forgive with a light apology!

He has always been generous only to family and friends, and for those who dare to harm his wife and child, he believes in returning the pain manifold!

"...Huh." Zhou Daxiang, having earlier slapped someone in anger, felt the strength supporting her suddenly fade, her legs going weak, but fortunately her son supported her in time.

Upon hearing Lin Aihong's defiant question, she really wanted to slap her again, but Mrs. Lin arrived just in time. Zhou Daxiang took a few harsh breaths, choking on her sobs and lamented:

"Lin Ximei, don't blame me for being too harsh, the child in Xiufang's belly is the only hope of the Li Family! Look at your so-called good daughter, still jumping around and yelling here, while my poor daughter-in-law is now lying in the delivery room, her life hanging in the balance!"

Hearing Zhou Daxiang's words, Lin Ximei's heart 'thudded', and she inwardly cursed, disaster! Seeing her daughter shrinking back in fear and the other party looking like she wanted to devour her daughter, it was extremely tricky!

Seeing that her daughter wasn't helping, she had no choice but to step forward, with urgent, worried care on her face, her tone sincere and gentle, she raised her voice to comfort the mother and son of the Li Family:

"Sister Zhou, don't worry, the child Xiufang is carrying is surely blessed. Don't fret!" She rushed here as fast as she could, not missing Zhou Daxiang rushing into the hospital, and immediately felt that things were amiss. Who knew she would still be a step too late, letting her daughter take a slap for nothing.

She was both pained and angry, but hearing that there was no news from Li Family's daughter-in-law in the delivery room made her even more anxious. Now she feared that if anything happened to Chen Xiufang, whether to her or the baby, the Li Family would definitely blame the Lin Family!

If it really turned out to be a fatality, Xiao Hong would definitely not be let off easily! With a pleasant face, she soothed the Li Family mother and son, her heart hoping more than anyone that Chen Xiufang would be alright, please be alright! This was about her younger daughter's future prospects, how could the outcome be so terrifying!

She looked up at the still-flashing emergency light, occasionally whispering apologetically to Sister Zhou and Nephew Li, hoping they could let go of their bias against her daughter, after all, they were the wronged party, being humble was only right.

Besides, the Lin Family were just ordinary office workers, how could they dare to contend with the Li Family!

If one were to compare their clout, both she and her husband were just minor officials, whereas Nephew Li was not only the director of the supply and marketing agency, he had significant influence. Even Brother Li was the head of the grain station, in terms of power and human resources, they were much stronger than her family..Slf() Only because they lived in the same district could they even exchange a few words.

Adding to the problem, Chen Xiufang's family was not simple, a few years ago they might have been isolated due to having overseas connections, but the political policies have changed direction in the recent years, and now her parental family is really something!

The more she thought about it, the more Lin Ximei felt it was a thorny issue. None of the Li Family were simple, and this knot had to be untied carefully, otherwise, it would be difficult days ahead for the Lin Family.
