Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 455 - 450 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 05

——————

Every time he thought about this mess, Fan Jiefang felt that his own family was extremely unlucky and faced troublesome difficulties.

"Alright, let’s talk about this inside. How does this look!" Xie Tiesheng uttered in a low command and started helping his wife into the main house.

Xie Jinghong’s face was suffused with redness, constrained, and seeing this, Yan Jinsu stepped forward, pressed her shoulder gently, and seeing Xie Jinghong looking back with reddened eyes, Yan Jinsu cracked a smile and comforted softly:

"Second sister, don’t be scared, I and our parents are here with you, let’s talk back in the room, we will definitely help you solve the problem!"

"Um!" Xie Jinghong nodded, nodding forcefully, supported by Yan Jinsu into the inner room. First, she glanced at her husband from a distance, then, like a quail, immediately hid behind her parents.

Clearly, in her heart, Dad was still able to protect her and the children.

Seeing this, Yan Jinsu felt thunderstruck. Had her sister-in-law been possessed by something? Why did she seem so utterly changed in character now?

"Xie Jinghong, look at yourself, what do you look like right now? Enough, you are not needed here, take Xiao Si and Xiaoqi back to your room, watch the children closely, I will talk to Jiefang!" Xie Tiesheng glared at his eldest daughter and directed her to leave with the children.

Seeing his wife’s face about to show anger, he lowered his voice, "Xiuhua, if you want to eavesdrop, you must control your emotions, otherwise, why don’t you take Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi back to the room? In case it frightens them..."

"Then, I’ll go back to my room." Zhou Xiuhua looked at Third Son’s Wife who nodded at her, Zhou Xiuhua felt relieved and hugged the two children to go inside.

Over this past year of living with Yan Jinsu as her daughter-in-law, Zhou Xiuhua felt she was, aside from her son San’er, the most intelligent member of her family.

Therefore, seeing that the little girl nodded and listened at the side, Zhou Xiuhua felt at ease; if the little girl was willing to handle it, there would surely be a solution to the situation.

At this moment, Zhou Xiuhua did not realize that her trust in Yan Jinsu had deepened even more than her trust in her own husband.

To Yan Jinsu, watching mother-in-law’s rough actions, her face twitched.

Xie Jingwei had also sent his three children away, with Xiao Yi being older, he took Xiao’er to the kitchen to see if they could be of any help.

With bystanders cleared out, the main house now only consisted of Xie Tiesheng, Xie Jingwei, Yan Jinsu, and Fan Jiefang.

Old Mr. Xie spoke solemnly: "Jiefang, tell us, what exactly is going on?"

"Dad, this,"

Fan Jiefang rubbed his hands, seeing the focused stares from the Xie Family members opposite him, he knew he had to speak eventually, he sighed helplessly:

"It’s my younger brother, he, he wants to adopt Xiao Xian as his adoptive son."

The eyes of the Xie Family members all sharply focused, suddenly, looking at him like sharp knife edges, each filled with extreme anger, as if ablaze.

"Dad, uncle, please don’t be angry yet, this matter, it’s my brother who is infertile, he, he got hurt down there, so he thought of adopting Xiao Xian. My, my mother spoke too harshly..."

Fan Jiefang glanced at Yan Jinsu, who was glaring at him angrily from the corner of the room, and changed what he was about to say, realizing this private matter of his younger brother was not a joke to be spread around.

But his younger brother truly had injured his ability to have descendants, whether he could conceive in the future, it’s really hard to say.

Looking at the fact that his younger brother’s wife had only given birth to one daughter in nearly ten years, it was clear, there was really no other way, which is why this matter had come to light.

"Bullshit, this is no longer just a matter of speaking out of line! Fan Jiefang, why should my little sister’s child be adopted by your younger brother? Doesn’t your brother already have a daughter? Isn’t your mother doting on her like she’s made of gold? So now your mother has come to her senses, realizing a son is more important than a daughter?"

Xie Jingwei was the first to object. His eldest sister had married into the Fan Family for only six years, what kind of life had she been living, and just when her husband was becoming successful, they actually wanted to adopt his maternal cousin? On what basis?!!

In their Qingshan Team and even in the county town, it was common for elderly people in ordinary families to favor sons over daughters. But the Fan Family that Xie Jinghong had married into was an exception.

Initially, when his eldest sister gave birth to Da Hong, the mother-in-law didn’t care at all. When she gave birth to Er Qiang and Xiao Xian, it was even worse, causing his sister to preterm by over seven months!

And now they even dared to ask for his younger sister’s child? Dream on!

Thinking back...

"Tie Dan!" Xie Tiesheng frowned disapprovingly at his eldest son, then turned to Fan Jiefang, squinting, and asked the bewildered man:

"Jiefang, what do you think?"

"Dad, I, of course, am not willing. But, I can’t withstand my mother nagging every day! I,"

"Wait a minute!" Yan Jinsu was somewhat stunned, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, blurted out, unphased by the spotlight, and asked Fan Jiefang in complete confusion:

"Brother Jiefang, doesn’t your younger brother already have an eight or nine-year-old daughter?"

"Yes, yes!" Fan Jieshi was startled because it was true, and he nodded briskly.

"So what adoption does your younger brother need?" Yan Jinsu asked bafflingly, addressing the men in the room, "Dad, uncle, this daughter is his own flesh and blood. Sister Two originally didn’t get along well with Jiefang Brother’s brother’s wife, how could that sister-in-law truly care for Sister Two’s child?"

Yan Jinsu stated it very realistically, then challenged Fan Jiefang, "Brother Jiefang, you have children yourself, if Hong and the others were daughters, and you were asked to adopt a son for your brother, could you truly care for that child?"

"How could it be possible, it’s not like I don’t have children..." Fan Jiefang was rebutted by Yan Jinsu’s questioning and without switching perspectives, blurted out a contradiction.

"Exactly! I do have children myself, why should I favor someone else’s child? Is the idea of adopting a child coming from your younger brother and his wife, or from your mother? Brother Jiefang, you can’t just consider things from your brother’s point of view, you have to consider Sister Two’s feelings!"

"I..."

"I wasn’t involved, but I’ve experienced being forced into preterm labor too. What do you think goes through Sister Two’s mind? Back then, the reason Sister Two had a premature birth was all because your mother was biased, and your brother’s wife is inhumane, even laying hands on a pregnant woman! Sister Two had a premature birth at seven months, you can’t be unaware of the reasons?!"

Fan Jiefang was left speechless by Yan Jinsu’s sharp questions one after another, choked up and reflective.

"Brother Jiefang, you see, during this period, you must’ve only thought about speaking for your mother and younger brother, causing Sister Two to become guarded against you. Have you never considered that the person you’re hurting is your lawfully wedded wife, the mother of all your children?"

"I’m sorry..." Fan Jiefang, admonished by Yan Jinsu, glanced at his father-in-law with reddened eyes, and his brother-in-law turned his head away, feeling like a failure. His hands clenched, sinews standing out, showing his inner turmoil.
