Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Chapter 324 The Original Sin of All Tragedies

"No, no, sister, I don’t want your bone marrow! I... I just sensed you were in distress, that’s why I came over..."

Yan Jinsi had barely heard his elder sister say the match was successful before he hurriedly interrupted her without fully understanding the meaning—

The anxious Jinsi paused, puzzled, and looked up at his sister and brother-in-law, who were leaning in close together.

Yan Jinsi blinked, asking hesitantly: "Umbilical cord blood?"

Don’t blame him for being so confused, it’s because the term Zhang Shan Ni used really bewildered him. It’s only the late 1970s after all, and medical science has not yet advanced to the research of ’umbilical cord blood’.

Even if there were studies underway, results had not yet emerged. So, not to mention military doctors, even the public and private hospitals outside had no idea what ’umbilical cord blood’ was.

"Sure, but keep this under wraps. Since this technology hasn’t been proven by scientific research yet, it’s not widely known. You just have to trust me, okay?"

Zhang Shan Ni also explained, only after speaking did she realize that because of her twin brother’s illness, she had learned quite a bit. She now understood that his leukemia was essentially ’cancer’ here and, apart from traditional bone marrow matching, there really were no other effective treatments.

Back then, she was questioning whether the Yan Family could accept her medical technology, which was years ahead of this world’s current level.

In the future, leukemia would be as common as the ’flu’, simply requiring a match with a relative. If not, there was also the option of matching with umbilical cord blood from a cord blood bank. There would be no real risk of death!

At most, it would be like the vampires in novels who couldn’t help but ’drink blood’ every so often.

After all, it wasn’t a fatal issue.

But here, leukemia was really a serious illness, and if not handled properly, it could be fatal.

First, the inadequacy of medical skills was a major issue.

Second, who here knew that the ’umbilical cord’ should be preserved during birth?

In later times, every woman’s ’umbilical cord’ after giving birth would be preserved in the national cord blood bank, and in the case of serious illness, the special ’source blood’ from the cord had a seventy percent chance to ensure the basic vitality of a life. [Assumed]

It’s worth noting that although this era was almost a decade behind the one she came from, bone marrow transplantation was only recently developed, and the success rate of surgery was not very high, especially for Yan Jinsi’s condition, which had gone beyond the optimal treatment period. The disease had become critical, making the chances of a successful surgery even lower.

"Yes!" Yan Jinsi certainly trusted his own sister.

"About this matter, since it involves someone else’s research results, it absolutely cannot be leaked! That’s why I haven’t told you all. But you are still my true brother. Even though we don’t live together, the familial bond of blood cannot be severed."

Zhang Shan Ni hesitated for a moment, but still explained to him.

Although she didn’t care how the Yan Family viewed her, she had after all used the body of their kin. Consider it the fee for using this body, as a way to repay the familial bond of blood.

"Sister~ Thank you for still being willing to accept me..." Yan Jinsi might not know what had happened, but he knew it must be serious, otherwise, his brother-in-law wouldn’t have been so defensive towards his father and brothers!

"..." Zhang Shan Ni fell silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at her concerned husband and spoke calmly:

"Yan Jinsi, although I truly detest what your mother did, you are her beloved son. I can understand her desperation and wrong actions. If it were me, I might have done the same. So, our stands are just different, it’s as if I’ve repaid her favor of bringing me to life.

Her body may be their biological daughter, but compared to a daughter who had nearly twenty years with no contact at all and a daughter-in-law/mother who birthed three sons for the Yan Family and lived with them for over twenty years, Qi Chunlan stood on higher ground. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

This way, she was glad to be rid of dealing with the Yan Family, and they, due to Qi Chunlan’s over the top behavior, were no longer shameless enough to seek acknowledgment of kinship.

Such an outcome allowed for a balance between her and Qi Chunlan. The inability to recognize each other is the right path.

Honestly, if the Yan Family were truly sincere about establishing a relationship with her gradually and genuinely, Zhang Shan Ni would have been more receptive to it.

After all, no one is a fool. If she had latched onto the Yan Family’s status without scrutiny, would they still hold her in the same regard?

They’d probably think she was nothing more than a mercenary country girl dazzled by money.

Among the entire Yan Family, Yan Dongsheng, to her, seemed indecisive; Yan Jinhao had the awareness of an elder brother but tended to follow his father’s example, lacking decisiveness in actions; and while Yan Jinchang was straightforward and rational, he was often blinded by familial affection.

As for Yan Jinsi, her biological brother, he seemed to have the highest IQ and emotional intelligence among the Yan brothers. But his physical condition had already imposed too much of a psychological burden, keeping him in a protected position.

Only Qi Chunlan, in Zhang Shan Ni’s eyes, shared a similar essence with Lin Zhaodi. Could it be they were related as cousins?

Ha-ha, both committed ’unforgivable’ mistakes for the sake of their own children.

They both had a kind of fanaticism in their bones, a fanatical obsession that could lead to self-deception. Once they had a ’belief’ fixed in their minds, it became a path of relentless fanaticism.

Such people, when engaged in research work, tend to achieve exceptional results.

But when reflected in the context of women and families, it becomes the original sin of all family tragedies.
