Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 471 - 466 Tricky Matter at Home 01

"I’m back."

Xie Jinggang returned home from work, opened the door to see his wife pale and weary, with their young son crying incessantly in her arms, which made him sigh deeply.

They should have returned to their hometown yesterday when his parents came back.

But their son has been sick for several days, occasionally running a fever, which nearly drove the couple to dizziness.

Today, the fever finally subsided, and they thought of going back to their hometown after his work.

But now, seeing Xiao Ba crying like this, how could he bear to leave?

The child is not even a year old, and even Xie Jinggang who is usually careless, understood that such a young child needs meticulous care, or else it’s easy for them to pass away.

His parents safely returned to their hometown, but what worried him more was Xiao Ba’s illness.

"Brother Gang, did you finish work early today?" Usually, he wouldn’t get home until past midnight, but now it was just past eleven.

"Cai Xia, has Xiao Ba gotten any better? Come here, Xiao Ba, let daddy hold you." After putting down his briefcase, Xie Jinggang painfully stepped forward to take his young son from his wife’s arms.

"Brother Gang, I took him to the hospital this morning, it’s nothing serious. The doctor said it’s normal for infants when sick to cry and fuss for several days before slowly recovering because it’s risky to use strong medications that could harm their brain."

"That’s relieving, go cook some food. Where are Xiao San and Xiao Liu?" Seeing the house this quiet, Xie Jinggang looked around the inner room, puzzled.

"The fluctuating condition of Xiao Ba’s illness worried me about infecting the older kids, so I had my aunt over to take them to her place. Xiao San is fine, he has school, but it’s not practical for Xiao Liu to keep staying with me..."

"With Xiao Ba like this, let’s not go back today. I’ve already called the village on my way from work, had my elder brother pass the message to Dad and Mom."

"Good that you informed them, I feel it’s awkward not to. Mom and Dad must be missing Xiao Ba, they haven’t even met him yet." Lin Caixia responded spontaneously.

Originally, Lin Caixia gave birth in the middle of the night, and it was her aunt from her mother’s side who came to the hospital to care for her, as her in-laws lived far in the countryside.

By the time news reached them, it was followed by Wang Xiaocui’s troubling affairs, and then her mother-in-law had to be hospitalized due to stress.

Thus, her in-laws genuinely haven’t met Xiao Ba yet!

Regarding this matter, Lin Caixia naturally felt somewhat emotional inside. But after being sensitively educated by her husband, she dared not complain anymore.

Even her own mother, when facing Xie Jinggang, wouldn’t dare to make any reckless comments.

Lin Caixia knew that her mother-in-law didn’t intentionally avoid caring for the child or helping her during her postpartum period; it was all fate, who else could she blame?

As for whether she should mind that her in-laws were looking after her sister-in-law’s kids and helping her with her postpartum instead, scoff, she’s not naive like her sister-in-law Wang Xiaocui.

There really is nothing to compare. If one really wanted to ask what her sister-in-law received, why not consider what she had given first?

Yan Jinsu, even heavily pregnant, dared to go alone to the provincial city to visit the sick! She also took care of her ailing mother-in-law, father-in-law, little aunt, along with two unrelated nephews.

If during her own time of delivery, the in-laws didn’t reciprocate, only then would Lin Caixia truly feel aggrieved, yet the blame would be at her in-laws!

To live a life, one should keep their eyes wide open, and not be shallow.

People like Yan Jinsu have invested so much, and now it’s time to reap the rewards. If she were really so petty as to hold grudges, then she really wouldn’t be fit to be a daughter-in-law of the Xie Family.

Just her husband alone wouldn’t tolerate such malice from her.

"Ah, right, Brother Gang, this morning when I took Xiao Ba to the hospital, I saw Second Brother-in-law’s brother!"

"Him?" Xie Jinggang still didn’t know about the situation at home. When he was on the phone with his elder brother, a leader happened to come for inspection, so he only spoke hurriedly for a few words before hanging up.

Of course, the affair with Fan Fengshou had already spread wildly in White Cloud Town. Living in the same town, two months had gone by, how could he not know?

Moreover, since their families were related by marriage, he’d been informed by friends soon after the incident with Fan Fengshou occurred.

"Yeah, I saw him holding his daughter, followed by Old Lady Li, and looking at his wife’s expression, I can tell, that little girl is seriously ill!"

"Lately, there are too many people getting sick. If Xiao Ba is alright, try to avoid taking the kids to crowded places, afraid of epidemics." Xie Jinggang said, not very concerned.

However, recently not only his child had been running a fever, many people had been falling sick, and it indeed felt troubling.

"Alright. Then... if Xiao Ba is fine later, should I take the kids back to our hometown first? Leave Xiao San and Xiao Liu with their little aunt?"

While Lin Caixia spoke, she kept busy with her hands. It was almost noon; if she didn’t start cooking, when would they have lunch?

Although she wasn’t very keen on returning to her hometown, her sister-in-law had returned, and even the in-laws had come back. As a son and daughter-in-law, it wouldn’t be right not to go back.

"Cai Xia, can you manage on your own?" Xie Jinggang thought of the tasks at the factory that afternoon and felt a headache coming; but not returning really wasn’t an option.

Previously, they could excuse it due to the distance and the children being small. But now that Dad and Mom had returned, if they didn’t rush back to pay respects, just the Xie Family elders alone could lecture him until he went deaf!

"Brother Gang, Xiao San and Xiao Liu won’t go back; I’ll just take Xiao Ba back by myself, I can manage. Xiao San and Xiao Liu still have classes to attend, just not sure if Dad and Mom will blame us..."

"I’ll explain it to Mom when I go back. You’re going alone, so should I bring the parcels back for you?" Xie Jinggang wouldn’t get off work until at least 4:30 in the afternoon. If they waited for him to finish work before going back, it would be dark by the time they reached home.

"Yes, Brother Gang, I had earlier ordered a box of apples from the fruit shop downstairs, it might take a while before getting home, so I can only take Xiao Ba’s diapers and little clothes back first."

Lin Caixia thought for a moment and said so.

The bus couldn’t enter the village; if she walked slowly, perhaps not long after she reached her hometown, her husband would be home.

"Hey, you go back with Xiao Ba first, there should be a bus at three, and you can also let Xiao Ba sleep for a while."

Xie Jinggang said, noticing that Xiao Ba seemed to have cried for a while and had fallen asleep as he rocked him, his voice getting softer and softer.

Lin Caixia watched her husband adeptly soothing the child, feeling a rush of satisfaction, her movements in cooking even more vigorous.

Although she was a village girl, having married a capable and family-oriented husband,

Life was hard when they had Xiao San and Xiao Liu, and with her mother-in-law at home, her husband hadn’t helped much. But now, after having Xiao Ba, seeing her husband do everything,

Comparing this to the men in neighbors’ families, only then did she realize how good her man really was, incomparable to others.

Now their lives were getting better and better; considering Wang Xiaocui’s fate, she took even more heed, only hoping she could be a good wife to Xie Jinggang, a good mom to the kids, and a good daughter-in-law to the Xie Family. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Like that one mistake that hurt their marriage, she must never make it again.
