Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 464 - 459 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 14

——————

"Dad, when it all happened, you insisted that I should swallow my grievances, saying harmony in the family is the foundation for success in all endeavors, and that we shouldn’t be too calculating, or what would become of the children?

Dad, I don’t blame you. I know you had my best interests at heart, so I listened. For the sake of Da Hong, Er Qiang, and Xiao Xianzi, I’ve endured all the difficulties and sufferings in the Fan Family!

But this matter of ’adopting out my son’, this, I cannot bear!" Xie Jinghong was crying as she clung to Xie Tiesheng’s lower leg, shaking her head and pleading through tears, seeing her father’s stern face gazing at her, his eyes filled with sorrow.

With tears streaming down her face, she turned around hopelessly, glaring at this man who was her ’husband’ Fan Jiefang, and shrieked hysterically:

"Fan Jiefang, don’t you dare use my father’s words to pressure me! I won’t agree to adoption, never! If you insist on it with your mother and brother, then let’s just get divorced!

I, Xie Jinghong, have hands and feet, am I not capable of supporting the children myself? I can’t face the humiliation of being pointed at and called a ’child swapper’!"

In that era, adoption was not typically considered unless absolutely necessary due to extreme hardships.

After all, children are born of their parents’ flesh and blood, which mother would willingly give away the child she carried for ten months, just like that?

"Second sister, don’t be like this. Dad is just asking, how can we communicate properly with the Fan Family if you act this way? Don’t worry, if you truly don’t want to go through the adoption, and if the Fan Family really forces the issue, then we can just get a divorce. I’ll take care of the children!" Yan Jinsu coaxed and forcefully helped her elder sister to get up.

She hadn’t noticed that their own father was seething with anger at the words of the Fan Family and her big sister, his face turning dark with rage, fortunately, her mother-in-law had been coaxed by her to the west room to take the kids to sleep; otherwise, the chaos would be even worse now!

After persuading her dad and big sister, Yan Jinsu then sneered at Fan Jiefang:

"If the Fan Family is so capable, let him divorce and remarry to have more children. When the time comes, they can adopt out as they wish! We Xie Family members are not to be trifled with!"

Yan Jinsu hated these kinds of domestic disputes the most – they were truly quarrels where even reason would flounder.

In these matters, it primarily depends on whether the husband’s mind is clear. If a husband only cares about brotherly affection and the like, then there’s no point in continuing the marriage.

The first time, you adopt out to the little brother – what about the two sons they already have? Do you mean to adopt out again?

Having lived in Qingfeng Village for three months, she had clearly organized the relationships within the Xie Family.

Except for Fan Xiaodi, who had no sons, even Second Aunt Fan had been married for several years without children – after accommodating the younger brother-in-law’s demand, would the next step be to adopt another child to Second Aunt Fan?

Yan Jinsu’s intuition sometimes was extremely sharp, and just by observing the attitude of the Fan Family, she completely lost any fondness for them.

Especially since she had already learned from the little aunt Xie Jingzi, how poorly her elder sister Xie Jinghong had been treated at the Fan Family over the years!

In Yan Jinsu’s eyes, you can bully anyone but don’t bully the family that she has taken under her wing. To her, a solitary soul, the relatives of her husband were essentially under her protection; as long as they didn’t utterly repel her and were the weaker party, she would defend them.

Even Zhang Baonni, who used to bully the original owner, received Yan Jinsu’s support when she became the victim and the weaker party. This shows that Yan Jinsu has always judged things on the basis of good and evil.

Of course, when you do something wrong and still expect her help? Yan Jinsu will let you off by suggesting you wash up and go to sleep, she’s not a fool who can be deceived by just anyone.

Fan Jiefang was intimidated by Yan Jinsu’s imposing manner, cold sweat began to form on his back, and coupled with the resolute look in his wife’s eyes as she glanced over last, he had no choice but to explain hurriedly to the several members of the Xie Family:

"Dad, wife, don’t misunderstand, I really never intended to arrange an adoption for my son! I’m not a stepfather, how could I give away my own child to others! Even if that person is my own younger brother, he is still an outsider, I can still distinguish clearly between the dear and the distant!"

"Hmph, you sound good now, but who was the one always siding with what your mother said before? No sooner does your brother show a crying face, you forget everything! Fan Jiefang, I will not trust you anymore! Now you know my opinion, I am firm on not adopting out, even if your brother is willing to give away his daughter, I won’t agree!" Xie Jinghong cried and shouted with all seriousness at Fan Jiefang.

"Xiao Hong, you misunderstand, I have honestly never agreed with my mother, really! Think about it, whenever my mother came, did I let her into the inner room? Could you try to trust me just once, please?"

Fan Jiefang wanted to step forward and support his out-of-control wife but was dodged by Xie Jinghong, who immediately hid behind Yan Jinsu.

Just now, Yan Jinsu’s assertive "I’ll raise them!" really made Xie Jinghong feel genuinely fond of her.

Besides, she had impulsively returned to her maternal home for no reason, and during this period, Yan Jinsu had not made things difficult for her at all but had always treated her family’s three little ones equally with the children of the Xie Family. This alone was enough for Xie Jinghong to trust Yan Jinsu quite a bit.

In today’s world, there are really not many who are brothers’ wives willing to support their sister-in-law in getting a divorce, and even say they are willing to help raise a nephew!

Such magnanimity from Yan Jinsu had indeed won over the good feelings of father and daughter, Xie Tiesheng and Xie Jinghong.

Only Fan Jiefang, towards this old chief’s wife, truly started to feel intimidated.

Originally, he was a bit scared of Xie Jingchen, and now, in the Xie Family, he had yet another person to be wary of, which was Yan Jinsu.

Every word that comes out of her mouth surprised him greatly! He just couldn’t imagine that she had lived in the countryside all her life without ever attending school!

He could only say, the chief is indeed the chief, even when picking a wife in the countryside, could he have picked a phoenix egg that’s fallen to the ground?!

This is a case of a strong husband and a formidable wife!

"Fan Jiefang, you’re asking for my trust now? How many times have I trusted you? But when have you really protected us four?" Xie Jinghong shook her head and rejected him, saying:

"I’m really tired, the entire Fan Family are nothing but unreasonable lunatics! Brother Jiefang, please go home, if you cannot convince your mother and your brother, let’s separate amicably!"

Between her son and husband, Xie Jinghong didn’t hesitate at all, she directly chose her son.

In these two or three years, for her son’s sake, for her husband’s sake, how many times had she compromised? She had forgotten her confidence and strength as a daughter of the Xie Family, just hoping her husband would take another look at her, and then be able to see the true nature of Mother Fan and Brother Fan!

However, Li Xiaochun’s image as a widow had been too successfully portrayed.

Fan Jiefang, with his long years of military service away from home, had no clue and no solution to his own mother’s and younger brother’s disposition!
