Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 676 - 672: Both Sides are ’Uncle

——————

"Third Brother, did Third Sister-in-law really not get hurt?" Xie Jingzi’s voice trembled and shook.

"No, Chun Mei reacted very promptly, your Third Sister-in-law wasn’t even frightened." Xie Jingchen replied affirmatively.

He also felt grateful for Wang Chunmei’s reaction internally; otherwise, just the thought of his little wife getting hurt filled him with dread.

"Then, we really should be thankful to Wang Chunmei." Xie Jingzi, reassured by her brother’s assurance, replied in a conflicted tone.

Should she forgive her just like that?

A moment of hesitation flashed through Xie Jingzi’s heart, but as soon as she thought about Third Sister-in-law’s pregnant belly, the hesitation disappeared.

Compared to the safety of Third Sister-in-law, the slight unfairness she had experienced was entirely negligible.

Just as her brother said, upon reflecting honestly, Wang Chunmei hadn’t really harmed her.

Why should she cling to that minor embarrassment and make everyone uncomfortable?

"Have you understood, Little Sister?" Xie Jingchen patted his youngest sister’s shoulder, upon hearing her words, he knew his sensible little sister had understood.

Xie Jingzi pouted her small lips, muttering in complaint: "I let her off easy. If it wasn’t for the fact that she saved Third Sister-in-law, I would never bother with her for the rest of my life! Humph, I’m going to see Third Sister-in-law now~~"

After speaking, Xie Jingzi hastily wiped her tears and ran past her brother back to the main house—

"What a little girl, saying ’for a lifetime’ when life is so long, thoughts grow and change, how can she just blurt out ’for a lifetime’." Xie Jingchen watched helplessly as his little sister acted petulant, without turning around, he sensed that his little sister’s husband had embraced her.

Clearly, although far away and unable to hear the conversation below the eaves, Zhou Zhenghui was concerned when he saw Xie Jingchen’s actions; seeing his wife completely blocked by her uncle, he instinctively placed Xiaojiu beside Little Shier and nodded to his Third Sister-in-law before standing up.

Just as he reached the front door, he saw his wife running back; he embraced her, his motions slightly hurried disturbed their posture a bit, Zhou Zhenghui steadied his delicate wife, then asked with concern, "Xiaozi, what’s wrong?"

"Uncle, it’s nothing, I just wanted to check on how Third Sister-in-law is doing." Xie Jingzi slightly embarrassed, lowered her head, tidying the disheveled hair by her ears while hiding the redness around her eyes.

Zhou Zhenghui didn’t believe it; his little woman was usually demure, only avoiding his gaze like this when her eyes were red. Thinking this, Zhou Zhenghui felt even more somber, he was about to lift her face to check when he saw Xie Jingchen walking back.

Xie Jingzi tugged at her uncle’s sleeve, signaling him to let go quickly, as his hand was now on her waist, which made her very embarrassed.

"Third Brother, what were you talking about?" Zhou Zhenghui, undeterred by his wife’s distraction, stared straight into his uncle-in-law’s eyes.

Xie Jingzi pulled on her uncle’s arm, but ended up being embraced even more tightly; she could only whisper softly, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

While still appearing to be competing with her older brother, which left Xie Jingzi utterly speechless.

The problem was, he couldn’t beat her older brother, and she was afraid it would just turn around and her older brother would end up reproaching her...

"How so, do you think I would bully my own little sister?" Xie Jingchen, who was half a head taller than Zhou Zhenghui, made Xie Jingzi look even more delicate standing between them.

Xie Jingzi, upon hearing this, immediately knew that her Third Brother was not pleased, so she quickly shook her head, "Third Brother, don’t take it to heart with uncle, he’s just a bit nervous about me—"

Xie Jingchen, with a stern face, hearing his little sister repeatedly calling her husband ’uncle’, felt a burst of laughter almost escaping his chest; he glanced at Zhou Zhenghui, who appeared indifferent, merely nodded stiffly, and walked past the young couple back to the main house.

He had to leave, otherwise he was afraid he couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.

What kind of name was this that his little sister was using? It’s just that Zhou seemed to have gotten used to it.

Seeing the Third Brother leave, Xie Jingzi angrily patted uncle’s chest, annoyed,

"Uncle, what’s with you, why did you talk to Third Brother like that?"

"He bullied you." Zhou Zhenghui’s eyes lowered, immediately noticing his wife’s red-rimmed eyes, he stated in a deep voice.

"That’s not it, uncle, you misunderstood. I started crying because I heard Third Brother say that Third Sister-in-law was nearly hurt in the abdomen by a criminal," Xie Jingzi awkwardly rubbed her reddened eyes, softly explaining.

"Really?" Zhou Zhenghui frowned deeply, seeing his wife about to cry again, he immediately softened his voice to comfort her, "Alright, Third Sister-in-law is fine right? Don’t think too much. If Third Sister-in-law sees you like this, then wouldn’t it upset her and make you happy?"

"It’s all your fault, I had already stopped crying, but you had to make me start again!" Xie Jingzi rubbed her eyes while refuting.

"Yes, yes, my lady, it’s my fault, stop crying, otherwise it won’t be Third Sister-in-law talking about you but thinking I bullied you." Zhou Zhenghui, holding his wife, moved under the eaves of a nearby house, as it wouldn’t look good if his wife returned to the main house like this.

Moreover, women cherish their face, and those with thin skins can’t withstand others’ probing glances too much.

"It was indeed you bullying me!" When Xie Jingzi came before Zhou Zhenghui, she was half as intelligent and quite unreasonable.

However, Zhou Zhenghui very much enjoyed his wife’s spoiled and charming demeanor in front of him. Seeing her spirit lifted, he asked,

"Xiaozi, what was it just now with Chun Mei, did she bully you?"

Xie Jingzi pouted, embraced uncle’s waist, and shook her head sorrowfully, "She didn’t bully me. We just had a minor misunderstanding before... but compared to her saving Third Sister-in-law, that’s all negligible."

"Third Sister-in-law was saved by her?" Zhou Zhenghui was genuinely astonished now, also understanding why the Third Brother admonished Xiaozi so sternly earlier.

Having been indebted to someone, one cannot be impolite to a benefactor. And seeing how Chun Mei interacted with Third Sister-in-law, they clearly had spent a good amount of time together.

"Yeah, that’s what Third Brother told me. Regardless, her saving Third Sister-in-law is a great favor to the Xie Family, not to mention, my mother had already accepted her as an adopted daughter early on, hmm."

Whenever Xie Jingzi thought about how her parents liked Wang Chunmei, she felt uncomfortable inside, as if her parents were stolen by someone else.

"Xiaozi, you don’t like her?"

"Uh... not exactly." Xie Jingzi instinctively opposed the notion, her mood gradually clouding.

Once upon a time, they all shared childhood friendships but grew apart abandoning each other during growth—

Thinking this, Xie Jingzi, not willing to accept this, buried her little face in uncle’s chest, her eyes brimming with moisture again... Feeling uncle smoothing her hair and back, although slightly embarrassed, her mood indeed improved a little.
