Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671: Chapter 667: Just Have One Yourself

——————

Yan Jinsu was taken by her husband to stroll on the streets for nearly two hours. Upon returning home, exhausted, mother and sons promptly washed up and huddled together for an afternoon nap. After seeing his wife and children resting, Xie Jingchen finally left the front courtyard.

In the hospital, with Hu Zhengjie looking after things, Xie Jingchen wasn’t worried. However, the thought that those people actually dared to follow him so brazenly, they must just be small fry.

Or perhaps, they weren’t even worthy of being small fry, just there merely to startle the snake by beating the grass.

When Yan Jinsu woke up, she unexpectedly saw her sister-in-law had come.

Xie Jingzi’s school hadn’t officially started yet. She got engaged to Zhou Zhenghui on the sixth day of the new year, and no one from the Xie family attended; Zhou Zhenghui also mentioned that the ceremony was just an internal affair of the Zhou family. He assured that when the official engagement took place, no member of the Xie family would be missing.

On the eighth day of the new year, Xie Tiesheng, along with his wife, Xiao Si, and Xiaoqi, went to the county town. That day, Xie Jingzi, missing her parents and Zhou Zhenghui needing to return earlier to preside over his work, caused the newly engaged couple to leave for the county town without waiting for Xie Jingchen and his wife to arrive.

Xie Jingzi had prioritized submitting her tuition fees at school, then followed Zhou Zhenghui back to Beijing for the Lantern Festival.

Initially, she had wanted to stay in the county to accompany her parents, especially since she hadn’t spent the festival with them, and not staying really seemed inappropriate.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuhua and her husband were actually worried about their daughter and son-in-law in distant Beijing. When the future son-in-law mentioned returning to Beijing for the Lantern Festival, the old couple knew that the young Zhou wanted to take their daughter with him, but without their consent, he felt embarrassed to pressure their youngest daughter.

Indeed, although Xie Jingzi missed her third brother and sister-in-law, her parents were equally important to her. Most importantly, her parents were aging and she worried about their well-being.

With the fifth brother returning to work in a couple of days, and both Xiao Si and Xiaoqi preparing for school, taking the children and elderly parents to Beijing seemed impractical.

Considering the journey was merely half a day, they were now entering the thaw period. The return trip conditions were not good and could be strenuous, especially torturous for the elderly and children.

Thus, appearing in the backyard of the Siheyuan, was only Xie Jingzi.

"Little aunt?" Yan Jinsu exclaimed with surprise upon seeing her sister-in-law suddenly appear in front of her.

"Third sister-in-law, you’re awake! My heavens, is that more than one child in your belly?" Yan Jinsu wasn’t just astonished seeing her; even Xie Jingzi was shocked. They hadn’t seen each other for so long, and her belly had already swollen so much?

Yan Jinsu was stunned, glancing down at her stomach. She and her husband seemingly hadn’t told the family that she was expecting more than one child, right?

Perhaps because the Xie family’s parents had previously seen her carrying both Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi during her earlier pregnancy, seeing her belly slightly bigger now didn’t lead them to think of multiple pregnancies.

Xie Jingchen and Yan Jinsu, fearing that the elderly parents, Xie Tiesheng, would worry too much, chose not to reveal the truth to Mr. and Mrs. Xie.

"Third sister-in-law, how about we go to the hospital for a check-up?" Xie Jingzi anxiously helped her sister-in-law to sit down, both of them settling into the loveseat.

She had also just arrived not long ago; she had been chatting with her uncle and third brother in the front courtyard about family matters. Seeing that the men appeared to have business to discuss, she figured it was likely time for her sister-in-law to wake from her nap, and was thus led by Wang Chunmei to the backyard.

On the way, both were somewhat at a loss.
