Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 467 - 462 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 17

——————

As Yan Jinsu walked in, she saw her mother-in-law sighing twice, which made her raise her eyebrows:

"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Jinsu asked casually, then continued her task, smoothing out the blankets that her three little nephews had messed up, dusting them off first.

"What? Oh, Mom’s fine. I’m just worried about your second sister. I mean, she has three kids now, and to go through a marital crisis, isn’t that tearing my heart out!"

"What’s there to worry about, Mom? Don’t stress over it. If the second sister really can’t stand it anymore, then divorce is the answer. She’s still young; surely we can’t let the second sister adopt Xiao Xianzai over to that family, right? I think if the second sister really did the adoption, there would soon be a second time!"

"What?" Zhou Xiuhua frowned, pausing as she patted her grandson, and turned her neck towards Yan Jinsu’s direction, a puzzled look on her face as she asked.

"Mom, think about it. Fan Xiaodi can’t have kids and wants to adopt a child from uncle’s family, totally ignoring the fact that he has a biological daughter. Don’t forget, their second daughter-in-law has been married for five or six years now and still hasn’t had a child! It’s said she hasn’t gotten pregnant at all! She’s almost twenty-four or twenty-five now, right?"

Zhou Xiuhua’s expression darkened upon this reminder from Yan Jinsu, and she looked at Yan Jinsu speechlessly for a while, "..."

Not hearing any response, Yan Jinsu looked back to see her mother-in-law somewhat shocked, while she continued to prepare the baby bottles and said with a shrug:

"Mom, don’t worry unnecessarily. As I see it, the second sister wasn’t wrong. Better to divorce than to adopt out, right?"

Zhou Xiuhua, knowing that her daughter-in-law was modern in her thinking and largely in step with the current times, always tended to take her advice. Seeing her say this, even if there were qualms in her heart, she was willing to listen:

"Mom, think about it, if it were you having to give away one of your own children, would you choose not to go through with it or to continue on? If you really had to continue, you’d truly have to give away the child you carried for ten months, right?"

"..." Hearing this kind of question, Zhou Xiuhua’s heart tightened, seeing little girl seriously looking at her, she pondered and after covering her heart and truly thinking, lately she indeed chose like Da Niu:

"I’d rather not continue!"

Hearing this, Yan Jinsu’s eyes lit up, and she happily agreed:

"Exactly, Mom, you wouldn’t want to abandon your own child, right?!!

Why must women be helpless or footless, why must we always obey men? Just for a husband’s phrase ’keeping the peace at home’? For his brotherly love? Must we sever the mother-child bond?

Which mother would be so foolish? Right!"

Zhou Xiuhua nodded, relieved that she wasn’t foolish.

Seeing her mother-in-law didn’t object, Yan Jinsu briskly sat beside her, soothing her while instilling a new concept:

"Mom, honestly speaking, the person most worth my support is the second sister, because she understands this!

The second sister isn’t foolish at all, she’s a good mother! For her children, she’s neither timid nor retreating! That’s the quality we women should hold onto!

Even if it may eventually lead to a failed marriage, and the children might end up without a dad or a mom."

"But at least, Second Sister has made the best effort towards her children! As a mother, she hasn’t given up on any of her children!

This is, truly, maternal love.

Besides, mom, Second Sister still has her parental home! Even if she really gets divorced, life with three children might be a bit tough. But, we from the Old Xie Family are not weaklings! If Second Sister really runs into trouble, which one of us would stand by without helping?

If anyone dares to do so, Brother Chen will scold them shameless in front of the Jiangdong Elders!"

After saying this, Yan Jinsu also winked at Zhou Xiuhua seriously.

"Do you really think so?" Zhou Xiuhua was genuinely enlightened by Third Son’s Wife’s unusual words, as if a new world’s big window was opened.

"Of course, mom, don’t blame me for speaking bluntly, if in the future, Brother Chen acts as foolish as Fan Jiefang, I won’t indulge him either!"

"Hey, what nonsense, if he’s foolish, I, your mother, still know it clearly!" Zhou Xiuhua glared at little girl jokingly, but ended up laughing!

"Sigh~ Mom, you finally smiled, that’s so good. When we face issues, let’s not be afraid, let’s slowly clear up any difficulties we have, as long as we stand firm, what do we from the Xie Family have to fear from troubles coming our way?"

"Yes, you small girl have all the logical points!"

"Um, that’s right. As long as you think it makes sense, Mom. And don’t worry, Second Sister’s future life won’t be tough. What’s there to be sad about? If there’s no Fan Jiefang, are there no good men left in the world? It’s hard to find a three-legged toad, but two-legged men are everywhere!"

"Absurd logic!" Although Zhou Xiuhua still worried a bit, she truly felt relaxed after Yan Jinsu’s explanation.

"Mom, if you worry about the kids having no one to take care of them, don’t worry, Brother Chen will work hard, I absolutely stand by Second Sister’s side!"

Yan Jinsu isn’t really trying to advocate for divorce rather than reconciliation, but rather to help her mother-in-law clear her mind, to give her more confidence, which will definitely change her behavior significantly.

Then, when it’s time to confront the Fan Family, they from the Xie Family wouldn’t be suppressed, if worst comes to worst, divorce it is, she doesn’t believe Fan Jiefang would dare to fight Second Sister for the kids!

If it really comes to that, she, Yan Jinsu, has plenty of methods, to make the Fan Family cry for their dad and shout for their mom! freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Having heard your words, I’m much more relieved. Sigh, Big Daughter’s marriage, is really not smooth!" Zhou Xiuhua suddenly recalled her oldest daughter’s first partner, her dislike for him was deep.

"Mom, Second Sister hasn’t reached that point yet. As long as Fan Jiefang still has feelings for Second Sister, still cares about Da Hong and the three kids, he won’t really push it to the point of wanting a divorce. We don’t need to be scared of Old Lady Fan regarding this matter."

"Mom is scared yes, that little uncle is persistent in adopting—by the way, why did that little uncle suddenly want to adopt, isn’t he still young?" Zhou Xiuhua suddenly realized and hit the nail on the head.

"Eh, mom, you better ask dad about this... Right, I still have warm water in the kitchen, go take a hot bath first, mom! If you’re tired, you don’t need to come over, I can handle it! Well, it’s good that Xiao Yi and Xiao’er are here today, or else with Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, those kids, even finding someone to help with a bath would be tough."

Upon hearing her mother-in-law bring up this question, Yan Jinsu could only try to divert the topic tactfully.

She still had many things left undone!

With Sister Jiang and little aunt no longer lending a hand at home, her room was still cluttered with dirty baby clothes and diapers unbeknownst to mention.

She has just returned to their old home, the courtyard was overgrown with messy weeds, and most of the inner house hadn’t been tidied up yet, she was indeed very busy—
