Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 663 - 659: No Longer Foolishly Believing

——————

Yan Jinsu woke up with a nosebleed early in the morning, which put Xie Jingchen on edge for the entire morning.

Yan Jinsu herself didn’t make a big deal out of it and, after stopping her nosebleed, she didn’t hesitate to pick out a small air humidifier from her Space to use.

Nowadays, Beijing has citywide electricity. However, old houses like Siheyuan require setting up their own electrical wiring, as the local utility service [does anyone know if this is the correct term?] doesn’t extend to the outlets.

Xie Jingchen examined various spots and finally chose the least conspicuous corner in the inner room to run a wire for the power outlet, allowing Yan Jinsu to set up her air humidifier.

Due to its small size, it was easily concealed by a short table and would have gone unnoticed unless one paid special attention.

Yan Jinsu dared to bring it out so openly because, in this inner room, other than herself and Xie Jingchen as adults, there were only the adorable twins, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.

Wang Chunmei had been following Yan Jinsu for two months and knew a bit about her little peculiarities, aware that she disliked people casually entering her bedroom.

Back in her hometown, unless allowed by Yan Jinsu, Wang Chunmei would never dare to step foot into the private quarters of Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law.

Not just her—even her adoptive mother, Zhou Xiuhua, had privately warned her, so she knew about Yan Jinsu’s obsession with cleanliness.

Now only Nanny Chen would come near the main house in the backyard, but Nanny Chen saw herself as nothing more than a cook. In the old society, what status could a cook have? Engaged in all the dirty and messy work, she would never enter the master’s private quarters.

Because of this, Yan Jinsu had gradually become bolder, willing to use some inconspicuous items from her Space, with the most crucial factor being the omnipotent Xie Jingchen by her side, as her husband always had a way to help her achieve her goals.

In the end, the item might be altered beyond recognition, but Yan Jinsu was well past the age of sweet sixteen or seventeen when appearances were everything; she valued ’practicality’ in items above all.

Of course, that excluded jewelry and decorative items. These things need to be ’beautiful and attractive’—too ugly, and they’d be too embarrassing to show off.

On the second day after arriving in Beijing, Yan Jinsu stayed in the backyard to rest and recuperate, going nowhere, making it the most peaceful day.

After that, even if Yan Jinsu stayed in the Siheyuan to rest for her pregnancy, she was frequently visited by people seeking medicine or advice, or others causing trouble—her days were indeed very lively.

That day, in the evening, two special guests arrived at the Siheyuan, two female soldiers specially brought back by Xie Jingchen.

The female soldiers were also retired due to injuries, and these two were actually relatives of Xie Jingchen’s subordinates. Both looked rather old, seemingly around forty, with very strong and firm features, as if accustomed to clenching their jaws tightly.

The first was Lei Hairong’s older cousin; her name was Tao Siming, thirty-eight years old with a height of one meter seventy-five, half a head taller than Yan Jinsu. Her face was stiff, showing that she wasn’t prone to smiling, but when she looked at the twin dragons, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, her gaze was incredibly tender.

The second was Tao Siming’s distant cousin, Gui Jiayi, who wasn’t related to Lei Hairong. Thirty-five years old, both cousins had similar body structures, and their dark faces carried the traces left by the years.

Perhaps due to the female soldiers’ long-term exposure under the sun, both had faces marked with dark, sunburnt spots. It seemed that neither of their lives was particularly happy.

After settling the residences of the two female soldiers, Xie Jingchen returned to his room and explained the backgrounds of these female soldiers to Yan Jinsu.

Both had been in the military for about ten years and still exercised regularly to keep their skills sharp after retiring.

Xie Jingchen’s consideration was quite thorough. Firstly, as Yan Jinsu’s pregnancy was advancing, she could not be left unattended at any moment.

After the repeated incidents involving Yan Jinsu, Xie Jingchen had been frightened and felt that his little wife must always be protected. Furthermore, there were his cherished twins in the siheyuan—children borne by his beloved little wife, whom he raved about.

He could not risk any accidents happening to his wife and children, so he had already begun selecting female bodyguards when he decided to bring his wife and children to Beijing.

Choosing the bodyguards was straightforward, they had to come from a clean family background and have a certain degree of loyalty to him.

Both Tao Siming and Gui Jiayi were distant relatives of his old subordinates; moreover, he had interactions with the deceased husband of Tao Sigu Jiayi. The sisters’ initial misfortunes were also a matter of some controversy within the military community.

The two cousins, one had a marriage end in divorce due to an injury sustained on a mission, and the other became a widow when her husband was martyred on a mission. The marriages of both cousins had not turned out well.

Gui Jiayi was in a slightly better position, her husband having died in battle. However, Tao Siming was defeated by traditional old customs; due to severe injuries, she was unable to bear children.

In this era, a couple divorcing because they could not have children was a huge tribulation. After all, the times were conservative, and divorce was not a good thing. Only couples who could not have sons or were infertile would really end up divorcing.

Of course, having a problematic character was far less serious an accusation than ’being unable to bear children’ in the olden days.

Yan Jinsu felt quite good about both women, as they met her gaze directly and unflinchingly, exhibiting a fearless attitude.

Yan Jinsu had a favorable impression of the two women and readily accepted them.

The next day, after Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi had woken up and had breakfast, Yan Jinsu formally introduced the two to the children.

Sister Tao was responsible for Xiao Shi, and Sister Gui for Xiaojiu. The cute kids, upon hearing their mommy’s explanation, looked on silently and unemotionally, seemingly unsure of the meaning but understanding Yan Jinsu’s instruction to ’protect them.’

Since Xie Jingchen had given the nod, the adorable Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi did not have any negative feelings.

Wang Chunmei, upon hearing Third Sister-in-law’s words, thought she was going to be sent back to the countryside. But, noticing her concern, Yan Jinsu patted her hand comfortingly and explained:

"Chun Mei, don’t be anxious. Your work remains the same. The main task for Sister Tao and Sister Gui is to ensure the personal safety of Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi. Don’t let their appearances fool you; they are both very skilled. With them by Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi’s side, everyone will be much safer."

Over the past few days, Wang Chunmei had often heard people referring to Third Brother as ’commander’ and knew that Third Brother’s military rank must be quite high, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of specially hiring people to protect Third Sister-in-law and the nephews!

Thus, whatever Yan Jinsu said, she obediently nodded her head in agreement, not daring to utter a word nor daring to ask why.

Yan Jinsu didn’t explain to her, meaning that this was not something she needed to know.

She no longer foolishly believed in the military title ’small Rong Commander’ that Third Brother mentioned.
