Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 704: Returning to Her Parents’ Home in Disgrace

——————

On the other side, Yan Jinsu had fallen into a coma. When Yan Jinxian received the news, she didn’t feel much surprise; instead, she felt a thrill of fear.

After Dad Zhou Guorong disappeared, Zhou Yizhou also vanished!

Upon realizing this fact, Yan Jinxian knew that she had been discovered!

Frequent walks in the night, one is bound to encounter ghosts!

Although Zhou Guorong returned that night, acting quite normal towards her, he simply explained to her that his mother-in-law fell suddenly ill, so he took his husband to get medical treatment for the mother-in-law. Meanwhile, Zhou Yizhou also stayed behind to look after his mother-in-law, and to seek medical treatment for himself.

When Yan Jinxian heard her father-in-law mention her husband needing "medical treatment," and he looked at her with a hint of suspicion, it made her heart race!

Due to this sudden turn of events, the Zhou Mansion was virtually empty of outside people; only the elderly father-in-law was residing there, and Yan Jinxian had already moved out with her husband first. By then, even if Zhou Yizhou was no longer by her side, Zhou Guorong had no reason to ask her to come back to live in the old mansion.

It was about avoiding scandal.

Yan Jinxian nodded obediently and understandingly. However, once dismissed by her father-in-law and she left the Zhou family, her face turned dark.

At that moment, the courtyard she rented, due to previous plans, how could it still be habitable?

Not to mention being guarded by the military, just the thought of the disgusting diced flesh scattered everywhere made Yan Jinxian unwilling to return!

With no other choice, she had to use her connections to temporarily stay in a guesthouse.

Moreover, because of this reason, she even privately sought out Little Grandma, putting on an innocent Little White Flower demeanor to ask for Little Grandma’s sympathy and shelter.

Unfortunately, the once-thought understanding Little Grandma who would help her, Yan Jinxian was disappointed once again—it was utterly different from Little Grandma’s previous friendly attitude towards her!

Previously, this old woman Wang Qiuling wasn’t like this when she spoke to her!

Yan Jinxian, with a cold expression, watched as Wang Qiuling was taken away by Yan Qiusheng, sitting alone in the café, her face darkened.

Wang Qiuling, this old woman, inherently had no real ability, born from a humble family background, and also a widow who had remarried. Suddenly gaining a status led her from feeling inferior to arrogant, appearing somewhat out of place.

Due to not bearing a son for Yan Xiqing, knowing the future assets of the Yan family would not include her and her daughter, her daily behavior showed a somewhat opportunistic nature.

Especially, her only daughter, who was also disfavored by the old master.

Of course, these weren’t Yan Jinxian’s words, but the private comments about this stepmother-in-law by her former mom, Qi Chunlan.

The whole family, only the old patriarch was still kept in the dark. The Yan family men each knew this Little Grandma’s nature; however, out of respect for the old master, and to give face to Yan Qiusheng, they still treated Wang Qiuling with some degree of respect.

Her usually honest and simple husband actually raised his fist and severely beat her, knocking her to the ground and continuing to hit her without any intention of stopping!

Because of this incident, Yan Qiusheng was truly saddened, yet after her husband coaxed her with some sweet words, she resigned herself to her fate.

They say that once a man starts beating his wife, he won’t feel any psychological pressure the next time; and this saying isn’t false. Over three years, Yan Qiusheng endured being severely beaten every ten days and lightly beaten every three days by her husband, and finally despaired.

Strong for her children, Yan Qiusheng might treat herself harshly, but could not be unkind to her only daughter!

Often, when she was being beaten, her daughter would also be implicated. Although her husband didn’t hit as severely as he did to her, any hurt inflicted on the child was agony for the mother!

She admitted to her foolishness back then and accepted her suffering. But how could she not despair when her own daughter was repeatedly harmed?

The last time she was beaten until her head was bloodied, Yan Qiusheng sought help from a hospital nurse, reached out to the military through an old friend, and sent an SOS to her mother. This was actually why Wang Qiuling decisively left Beijing while her husband was getting better.

Who knew, when the husband’s side discovered that Wang Qiuling had personally come, the whole family ran to Wang Qiuling crying and admitting their wrongs. The domineering mother-in-law for nine years cried uncontrollably, blaming her insanity on her desire for a grandson, regretting deeply along with the rest of the family.

Seeing how genuinely remorseful the in-laws were, Yan Qiusheng felt deeply scornful, yet deep inside, she still harbored a sliver of hope—could she really return to her maternal home in such a dejected state after divorce?

What about her daughter? Would her father accept this tormented mother and daughter?

Remembering her father’s fierce anger and reprimands from back then, Yan Qiusheng was unsure.

Moreover, it was her own choice of partner at the time; when Yan Qiusheng saw her in-laws bowing their heads in admission of guilt, and with her mother there to support, she impulsively softened her heart—
