Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Chapter 105: The Bitter Little White Flower

——————

Now, startled by Zhou Xiuhua’s chain reaction, everyone forgot about bickering and gathered around the old lady.

As she took the bowl from Second Sister Xie, Zhang Shanni dipped her index finger into the water and added a drop of Spirit Core Water. She carefully fed it to her mother-in-law, feeling relieved only after seeing that she could swallow normally.

After a flurry of chaotic efforts, Zhou Xiuhua stabilized. Li Xiaochun, seeing this, didn’t dare to stop; she awkwardly muttered some soft words to Xie Tiesheng, then skulked away:

"My dear in-law, this wife of mine has a sharp tongue. If she did something wrong, just say it, and my old lady will correct it! Please don’t really take it to heart, big sister. It’s just my nature and I didn’t mean anything by it. Now that you’re here, let Xiao Hong take good care of you. I must head back home now; the pigs and cows are waiting to be fed, I... I need to go."

Speechless, Zhang Shanni watched as Second Aunt’s mother-in-law rattled off a stream of words and hurried away, her walking pace rivaled that of a professional athlete – you’d never imagine she was a woman nearly seventy years old!

Speaking of the Fan Family, they really are quite the example. Fan Jiefang is clearly the eldest, yet he married the latest. Being in the military before, it was not easy to say. But after returning to civilian life, it was Li Xiaochun who spent money to marry a wife for the youngest son!

The eldest son is already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and the youngest son just turned twenty. They didn’t rush to arrange a marriage for the eldest, but instead found a wife for the youngest.

Zhou Xiuhua learned back then that it must have been an issue with Fan Xiao’er and his girlfriend – family planning. After all, when that young uncle got married, it only took seven months for a girl to be born, supposedly due to a fall that led to premature birth. However, many experienced women could tell at a glance that the baby girl was full-term.

Only the Fan Family deluded themselves, but who in town didn’t know that the Fan kid was unreliable? It was just that Li Xiaochun favored her youngest son, who knew how to flatter and please her, making her feel that he was the most filial and obedient. Since the eldest son had joined the army at the age of sixteen and was not around to take care of her, she became increasingly biased towards the youngest with no restraint.

Completely overlooking the fact that if it wasn’t for Fan Jiefang’s, the eldest son’s, contributions and responsibility, the Fan Family would have fallen apart long ago.

"Pshaw, what nonsense!" As Xie Tiesheng watched Second Aunt, who had disappeared from sight, and saw Da Niu’s resigned and timid demeanor, he was frustrated with his daughter’s lack of spirit, pointed at his eldest daughter, and felt even more sorry for the hardship she had suffered in recent years. With a mixture of anger and pity, he eventually let out a deep sigh.

"What a sin... Da Niu, back then, so many young men admired you – even the Zhou family’s boy looked at you favorably. But you ignored him, thinking he was too young and his widowed mother too difficult to take care of. In the end, you chose Fan Jiefang. Although he is a good man, his mother isn’t much better than a block of wood!"

"Mom~~" "Mom!"

Hearing this, Xie Jinghong and Zhang Shanni called out at the same time.
