Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 465 - 460 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 15

--------------------

The Fan Family had an unreasonable mother-in-law and an equally crazy sister-in-law, and Fan Feng Shou always favored his mother and his wife, acting with too much fake kindness!

Over the years, Xie Jinghong was basically like a lowly maid sold to the Fan Family; where was her dignity to speak of?

She did all the household chores, which was fine—it was just a bit more effort. Xie Jinghong had been doing household chores since childhood and was never that little bit lazy!

But Li Xiaochun’s treatment of the two daughters-in-law was too disparate!

Was Li Xiaoxia a gem, while she herself was just grass?

Moreover, her husband’s job, if not for her eldest brother-in-law’s efforts from behind, when would Fan Jiefang have been able to transfer to the county town and even become a deputy director?

Of course, her husband also had abilities, which provided such an opportunity. However, without her brother-in-law’s behind-the-scenes push, she believed that Fan Jiefang would definitely not have been able to be transferred to the county town so quickly!

It was because her brother-in-law cared for her that he transferred their entire family away from Baiyun Town, away from those Fan Family members!

Who would have thought, escape from companionship but not from scheming!

Just thinking about that Fan Li, Xie Jinghong felt a rage building inside her! As a mother-in-law, Fan Li was truly Baiyun Town’s first of her kind!

Hearing that her brother-in-law had an accident, Xie Jinghong was originally worried for him, but who knew that before her brother-in-law was even healed, he was scheming with his mother against her son!

This matter, she absolutely could not tolerate anymore!

Xie Jinghong’s thoughts at this moment coincided with Yan Jinsu’s.

For a mother is strong!

"I," Fan Jieshi was caught off guard by his wife’s penetrating gaze, and the words on the tip of his tongue got stuck.

But then, thinking of his biological younger son, who in the future would really have to call him "Uncle," these two words, like a sharp knife, instantly snapped him back to reality, and he returned his wife’s steadfast gaze, speaking in a deep voice—

"Xiao Hong, I will absolutely not compromise on this matter of adoption! If they really force us to do it, I, I will disown them!" Fan Jiefang said resolutely, his eyes full of determination.

"Snort!"

Xie Jinghong listened and while her eyes turned red, a cold sneer formed on her lips as she directly threatened:

"Fan Jiefang, what’s the use of your promises to me? If you have the guts, go back to your mother’s house now and talk to them! If you can’t do it, don’t bother coming back; Xiao Xian doesn’t need a father who would sell him. Let’s just get a divorce right now!"

Xie Tiesheng and Yan Jinsu had been silently listening to the couple’s conversation, with Yan Jinsu furrowing her brow, feeling that the eldest sister-in-law had made her stance clear but her tone was too final, which was not good for the development of the situation.

It’s best to leave oneself a way out for a graceful exit later!

Xie Tiesheng’s approach was much simpler; seeing the expression of his son-in-law, he "hmmphed" and glared at Xie Jinghong, cursing:

"Divorce, divorce, all you talk about is divorce. Now, if you really divorce, you and your husband will feel relieved, but have you ever thought about the children like Xiao Xian? How are they supposed to live after that?"

In this era, divorce is truly not something to be proud of. Especially in a remote small city like the county town of Y, and even more so in a rural area like Qingfeng Village!

"Dad!" Xie Jinghong, upon hearing her father scold her, couldn’t stand it at first and cried out, but it was Yan Jinsu who soothingly patted her on the shoulder, allowing Xie Jinghong to quiet down and listen to her father angrily berate them:

"Jinghong, Jiefang, you as a couple have been married for six years and have had three children. How can you, because of someone else’s request, one blindly complying to the detriment of the wife’s feelings, and the other, heartless and cruel to the detriment of the husband’s feelings?

And you two, united in harming the tender souls of your own children?

No matter how others live their lives, just because of one suggestion, you are willing to throw away the life of your family and yourselves!"

"Old Dad, don’t be angry. After all, second sister and Brother Jiefang are the ones involved; their minds must be clouded by anxiety and haste. These angry words are thoughtless. Please instruct them properly, don’t get worked up too!" Seeing her eldest sister and Fan Jiefang being pointed at and scolded one by one and her father gasping for air after his tirade, Yan Jinsu softly chimes in with her advice.

"Dad, please don’t be angry. If you must be angry, then hit him!" Xie Jinghong, after her father’s shout, recovers her sense and points at Fan Jiefang while shouting.

The thought of her three sons, because of this turmoil, distressed like scared little deer at the slightest disturbance, ready to cry and suffer... over these days, they have become so sensitive, bursting into tears at the mere mention of their grandmother—

If they are this young and really lose their father’s protection, how are she and her four children going to live?

And the thought that her husband might soon remarry and take a new, young wife starts her tears flowing once again.

She is just an ordinary village girl. Although her parents taught her well, they only taught her the principles of being a decent person, and it was only after she became someone else’s daughter-in-law that she understood how difficult life can be away from her parental home.

Only after she became someone else’s wife did she realize that only her parental home is the harbor for life, where she won’t be oppressed or worn down, and where she doesn’t have to live in dire conditions!

Even though she married Fan Jiefang against her parents’ advice, over the years, as long as her husband didn’t conform to the Fan Family’s expectations, he was genuinely caring and devoted to her. Even stones warm up with prolonged contact, let alone marital affection.

But with affection comes the possibility of hurt. It’s only for the sake of the children that she has always elevated her feelings and diminished her hurts. Otherwise, with the rate at which Fan Li, that Old Devout Woman, causes trouble, the couple would be fighting each other directly!

Fortunately, though Fan Jiefang has Rong Wei’s stubbornness, he does not hit women. No matter how angry he gets, he wouldn’t raise a hand to anyone female.

So sometimes, when his sister or mother acted too outrageously, all he and his wife could do was bottle up their frustration.

Such days are bearable once or twice, but who could stand it if it were an everyday occurrence? Anyway, she, Xie Jinghong, has had enough.

Yan Jinsu nearly laughs aloud upon hearing her eldest sister’s words, thinking how amusing they are. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Perhaps, she had been tolerating her husband’s weak attitude for a long time and secretly wished her father would reprimand him, letting out some of her pent-up frustration.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jiefang earnestly nods, completely agreeing with his wife, and pleads with his father-in-law:

"Dad, Xiao Hong is right. If you are really angry, just hit me and let it out, don’t suppress it in your heart and get sick from it. If that happens, then my sin would be too great!"

The Xie Family already has a mother-in-law who cannot be slighted, which is headache enough. If the father-in-law also falls ill frequently, Fan Jiefang might as well not show his face in Qingfeng Village again.

"Humph! What am I angry for? Both of you as a married couple are doing just fine, what’s there for me to be mad about?" Xie Tiesheng glared at his son-in-law and then turned to do some ideological work with his daughter—
