Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Chapter 108 Really Angered Me to Death

——————

The era is just like this, so realistic.

No matter what era, men can still make mistakes, regret, and start anew. People say that ’a prodigal returning is worth more than gold’; whether it’s a second or third marriage, as long as they are willing to work, there will always be women who will come aboard.

But for women, the criticism is too harsh. Women can’t afford to make the slightest mistake, especially in this era where divorce is equivalent to a hellish stigma, having a ’divorced’ woman in the family can burden the grandchildren.

In fact, even though the situation might be a little better in later generations, the most important point is still that women need to stand up for themselves. Only when they have a solid foundation can they live more comfortably and freely.

If later generations continue to be like now, where men engage in socializing and business outside, while women are confined to taking care of the household chores and childbearing at home, can women genuinely hold up half the sky?

After all, if women want to maintain their ’dignity,’ they still need to rely on themselves.

As for Mrs. Fan and Li Xiaochun, the original sin for their disdain for Xie Jinghong was that she enticed their son to ’like’ her.

No matter how virtuous or obedient she is, even if she has contributed more to childbirth than the younger daughter-in-law, the old lady just doesn’t like her!

The only reason being, this daughter-in-law was not chosen by her.

While the younger son’s wife was chosen by her, and no matter how much worse she might be, she is still to her liking.

As the saying goes, ’true love is priceless’; as long as there is a connection, everything is perfect.

That’s just the harsh reality.

Previously, when Zhou Xiuhua lashed out in fury, shouting at Li Xiaochun that ’it’s intolerable,’ she was just scaring people. If she really let her sister and Fan Jiefang divorce, she would probably be the one who suffers the most.

Perhaps Li Xiaochun is biased or difficult, but she has some brains. She clearly also knows that Xie Jinghong is competent and has the strong backing of her natal family. Just by looking at the two large baskets of supplies that Zhang Shanni brought this time, she did not dare to clash head-on with Zhou Xiuhua.

Moreover, Xie Jinghong has birthed three grandchildren, the only three in the Fan Family. Her beloved youngest son, to date, only has one eight-year-old daughter! Ever since the younger daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest granddaughter, seven or eight years have passed without her becoming pregnant again, which makes them incredibly envious of Xie Jinghong’s three sons!

It is this stark contrast that makes Li Xiaochun, who lives with her youngest son, lured by her youngest daughter-in-law and youngest child, find a hundred reasons to dislike Xie Jinghong. She believes that it’s because Xie Jinghong had three grandsons at once that her youngest daughter-in-law is under too much pressure, which is why she can’t get pregnant again!

Indeed, there are all kinds of people in the world, and partiality knows no bounds.

Zhang Shanni would not understand Li Xiaochun’s mindset. But Zhou Xiuhua does.

After all, Zhou Xiuhua is a local, and due to her thorough understanding of the rural elderly women, she acts as a mediator in many conflicting families in the village. She has seen all kinds of difficult people and thus has some understanding of Li Xiaochun’s psyche.

It is this understanding that enrages her!

After all, Xie Jinghong is her own flesh and blood, and also her eldest daughter. Even if life was tough in those years and resources were limited, unable to pamper her excessively, instead, Xie Jinghong was trained in all sorts of domestic skills, understanding and capable since childhood. She essentially raised her younger siblings.

Therefore, the several younger siblings really adore Xie Jinghong, their second elder sister. Learning of the Fan Family’s attitude towards Xie Jinghong, the siblings bear genuine resentment towards Fan Jiefang.
