Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 358 - 354: Woken Up by a Ruckus

——————

Zhang Shanni’s accident occurred around one or two in the afternoon. By the time she gave birth, it was already past four in the afternoon.

After all the hustle and bustle, when Zhang Shanni finally woke up, it was midnight.

During this period, Zhou Xiuhua and Xie Tiesheng, who were on their second round to look after San’er’s wife, still did not manage to see Zhang Shanni awaken.

Fortunately, after applying hot compresses to her chest twice, her fever symptoms subsided, as she has a strong constitution.

As for the babies, apart from the first time they cried from peeing and waking up, they subsequently cried three more times. The first time was from being startled by their own dirty diapers, while the latter seemed to be cries of hunger. With quieter cries, Zhou Xiuhua and Xie Jingzi together fed them a bit of warm water, and then managed to coax them back to sleep.

Due to having children at home, Xie Jingyang was unable to leave. Thankfully, the school is currently on a break for the busy farming season. This was indeed a huge help as it meant someone was there to look after the family business as well as Xiao Si and Xiaoqi.

On the other hand, Xie Jingzi, who faced college entrance exams, did not get a farming break. Today’s emergency meant that she missed school without asking for leave. Thankfully, given the severity of the incident, neighbours on either side were well aware, and when Xie Jingzi later requested leave after the fact, the teacher, upon hearing the reason, promptly waved his hand in understanding, indicating all was fine.

Seeing the teacher so amenable, Xie Jingzi hastened to ask for three days off.

It couldn’t be helped; even though her sister-in-law eventually gave birth without issues, the impact and pressure had undoubtedly hurt her body. No matter how strong she was, it couldn’t change the fact that she was pregnant. Not just her Third Brother, even Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua, who typically dislike hospitals, unanimously insisted that Zhang Shanni rest a few more days in the hospital to ensure a thorough check-up before going home.

This was no small matter; it concerned her health and required careful consideration.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Shanni was completely unconscious and couldn’t object. Although Xie Jingchen knew his young wife disliked staying in the hospital, he also felt it was for the best to have her stay a few more days for safety’s sake, especially since the babies were premature. Staying in the hospital for a couple of days would be safer.

Even if the adults were tired, it didn’t matter. As long as the wife and babies were safe, that was what counted.

Zhang Shanni seemed fine, but her labor was induced early due to stress during pregnancy, and she had subconsciously protected the two fetuses during the birthing process, which resulted in significant spiritual power depletion and severe bodily harm.

Now, just a glance at her husband allowed her to relax completely and fall into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for a full eight hours, Zhang Shanni was awoken by the ’pain in her chest’.

As soon as she opened her eyes, her hands instinctively moved to cover her chest because it was swollen and painful, making her very uncomfortable.

"Wife? Are you awake?" Xie Jingchen instantly woke up at his wife’s slightest movement.

At that time, he was the only one awake in the ward.

The two babies were really too tiny, and fearing they would disturb his young wife’s sleep, he moved them to a corner of the ward to be looked after by Sister Xiao Ying and the nursing staff in turns.

In his eyes, although the babies were just half a month premature, they were still born early, so for safety’s sake, he hired an additional nursing attendant.

Sister Xiao Ying was the postpartum care nurse that he and his wife had already agreed to hire. The nursing attendant was specially hired due to his young wife’s unexpected premature delivery, and since the babies were not full-term, Xie Jingchen worried if there were any special circumstances, they wouldn’t understand the medical pathology, hence he hired the additional attendant.

The nursing attendant was solely responsible for the care of the mother and her three children in the hospital.

No wonder Xie Jingchen was anxious; hiring a postpartum nurse and a nursing attendant was essential. After all, both his wife and child had suffered, and for safety’s sake, having an experienced nursing attendant was of course necessary.

Moreover, after all, the little sister needs to go to school, and the parents are getting older. His own little wife has just suffered, and he really doesn’t want her to endure too much exhaustion.

Helplessly, being a complete novice himself, he can’t possibly let Fifth take care of the babies, can he?

Even if Fifth is willing, he himself is not.

Even if Xie Jingyang has experience, at this moment, he remembers what his little wife said before, not wanting strange men to get too close to their marital life.

Xie Jingchen feels that his little wife’s view on this matter matches his own perfectly.

Besides, gossip is born on other people’s lips; it’s best to avoid trouble if possible.

Hiring a nurse isn’t actually that expensive, especially in their military circle, where there are many elder women wanting to earn some extra labor money. novelbuddy.cσ๓

For safety’s sake, Xie Jingchen has asked for the help of Chen Dalang. Although it’s only for a few days, it’s still more reassuring to have someone familiar.

And the confinement nanny isn’t a stranger either. When they moved to the new district of the county town, it was this young woman who did the cleaning for them, and Zhang Shan Ni was highly satisfied with her meticulous work ethic.

To satisfy someone with a penchant for cleanliness like her, it shows that this person’s meticulousness at work is indeed reliable.

Later, because they lived not too far away from each other and became quite familiar over time, it was known that she was a thirty-something widow with childbirth experience. She has also taken care of confinement for couples who work nearby and occasionally took on temporary childcare tasks; her reputation is quite good.

Since the age difference between her and Xie Jingchen is less than three years, Zhang Shan Ni simply calls her ’Sister Xiao Ying’. Before giving birth, Zhang Shan Ni had already arranged with Sister Xiao Ying that once the baby was born, she would come to lend a hand.

After all, their family business is doing very well, and it would not be good for the braised meat shop to stop operations because of her confinement.

Upon hearing Zhang Shan Ni’s detailed explanation of profits and losses, the old lady also thought it made sense.

Hiring Sister Xiao Ying for a month doesn’t even cost twenty-five yuan, yet the minimal daily income exceeds this small sum.

There is no need to forgo the business just to take care of her.

The business can continue as usual, but it allows for hiring a long-term helper.

For example, when she is giving birth, Zhou Xiuhua can take charge of cooking, as homemade food is more reassuring.

However, for things like washing diapers, holding and soothing the twins, Zhang Shan Ni and Zhou Xiuhua alone really won’t manage.

She gave birth to twins, not just one—she could barely manage one baby. But judging by the current habits of the two little treasures, crying and fussing together, one should be grateful that Xie Jingchen, out of compassion for the suffering of his mother and wife, specifically hired a temporary confinement nanny.

In Zhang Shan Ni’s belief, everyone else can be wronged but not her own children.

This matter of hiring a maid, initially, the elders would certainly not understand. After Zhang Shan Ni talked more about it and mentioned freeing up the little aunt to focus on her college entrance exams, which is the key point.

If the little aunt really gets into a good university, it’s absolutely a pathway to the skies, the only way to earn a substantial living.

At this time, as long as the little aunt really gets into university, the university will definitely provide job placement; in the future, she will have a job that’s provided by the state.

This is a major life event for Xie Jingzi, and when Zhang Shan Ni brought it up, anyone with a bit of sense would not object—
