Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse
Chapter 212 - 208 Don’t You Understand Yet?【-38 More】

Compared to Xie Jinggang who reformed his wife, Eldest Xie’s house seemed completely chaotic and senseless.

Of course, those who felt this way were not the couple themselves, but their three children jointly!

Indeed, Xie Jingwei’s affection for Xu Xiaofen could be said to have grown up like childhood friends, truly very deep.

But every person has their own selfish desires, both Xie Jingwei and Xu Xiaofen had theirs.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiaofen knew what she could ask for, while Xie Jingwei never quite understood where he stood.

For instance—

On the third day of the New Year, his dad went with his mom to see a doctor. They left abruptly, and his in-laws in the same village didn’t even send someone to inform him, making him feel like his dad was ’ignoring’ his presence as the eldest son too much!

Afterwards, he felt deeply hurt, but he still ’naively’ dared not harbor any complaints against his parents.

With that little bit of calculation in his heart, Xie Jingwei never even thought about how sick his mother really was? His dad took his youngest sister and grandson so far to the provincial city, whether they were safe or whether they needed his company!

Speaking of which, although he was Xie Tiesheng’s eldest son, it seemed like the Xie Family had forgotten that he was the eldest, the Boss.

Xie Jingwei looked at the suddenly appearing archway, feeling very irritated, and could only vent by taking a puff from the water pipe in his hands—

He was reminiscing.

Back when he was younger, because he wanted to take more care of his wife’s family, besides going to work, all the household chores were basically done by his elder sister, who managed the younger siblings... thus, his younger brothers always felt closer to her than to him.

At that time, in his heart, he thought he had Xiao Fen and needed nothing else.

Because they were too poor at the time, his family had his dad, his mom, his sister, his brother, and other capable people to help sustain it, while Xiao Fen only had him.

Later on, his younger brother grew taller than him. At home, his brother was always the one running around, doing things, even looking after their sick mother... he just needed to take good care of Xiao Fen, that was enough.

In his memory, it was only his father holding the water pipe, calmly looking at him while smoking.

At that time, he always felt very helpless, thinking in his heart, had he done too much...

But no one came to correct him, perhaps it was because no matter how many words of persuasion, he wouldn’t listen, as long as he saw Xiao Fen with tears at the corners of her eyes and tiredly lean face, he felt a burst of energy supporting him to keep going!

Finally, no one spoke ill of Xiao Fen anymore, and he married the woman he had long cherished in his heart.

Their married life was very peaceful. They lived separately in another wing of the house, even when brothers moved in one by one later on, he never felt it was bad.

Until the day his younger brother became Commander Rong and asked him for the first time what he wanted to do in the future?

He naturally took over his dad’s job. No one in the family objected.

His younger brother started using his connections, and the second brother even went to the township and became a worker!

Though just a low-level worker, he truly wished to go, but he couldn’t bear to leave his dad’s job behind, and Xiao Fen also didn’t want him to leave home.

Furthermore, when his younger brother suggested that the children should start going to school and of course, his own son would benefit first, he naturally wouldn’t object, no one would.

But he didn’t expect that his youngest brother would also attend school!

After the second brother dragged his wife to join him at his workplace, his youngest brother could actually attend the Industrial and Agricultural University! Although it took over a year to happen, it was enough to make him envious!

He also wanted to study; there were never any illiterates among the children of the Xie and Zhou families! Although his own education was not strong, he knew that attending university was completely different!

Why? Why did his younger brother arrange things for the second brother, elder sister, youngest brother, younger sister regarding their careers, family businesses, and education, and yet neglect him, the eldest brother?

Later on, as Xiao Fen requested, he let his younger brother arrange for him to become an accountant at the cooperative. Just this small matter, and his younger brother delayed it.

He said, dad’s position, in three to five years, he would take over, there was no need to cause another issue.

If he really wanted to do something concrete, he might as well connect more with village affairs, establish a foundation...

He delayed it! Xie Jingchen actually delayed it.

Xie Jingwei realized for the first time that the brothers in the family were not as he imagined; he was the eldest brother, and his younger brothers should listen to him!

Without his knowledge, the autocrat of the family had shifted from his dad’s hands to the hands of Xie Jingchen!

It wasn’t him, Xie Jingwei!

His younger brothers and sisters, the person they admired most, was never him!

His parents always said, to care for his younger brothers and sisters... but what about them? Did they see him, the eldest brother, in their eyes?

No need to talk about distant matters, recently, when Xie Jingyang had troubles, who shielded him? During the two days Xie Jinggang’s child was born, whose wife was helping him?

Could it be that what Xiao Fen said was true? His dad, had long thought of replacing his son to carry on the family line? Who else if not Xie Jingchen?!!

"Why...?" Why give up on him? What had he done wrong? Was there any trouble among the brothers that he did not help with?

Besides excelling in the military, what had the older brother done at home? Farm work, taking care of parents, looking after brothers and sisters, which had he done?

Especially since his dad had returned from the provincial city and surprisingly wanted to divide the lands! It was supposed to be equally divided among four sons!

Really, as Xiao Fen said, did dad really not need him, the eldest son?

Why the partiality? Normally parents would favor the eldest son and carry on the family line, why when it came to him, did the parents favor their daughter and granddaughter?

He was the eldest son, he was supposed to carry on the family line, wasn’t he the one who should get the major portion? Shouldn’t the parents follow him? He had planned for the front yard of the house a year ago... even had thought of how to plan and build a bungalow, so that his parents wouldn’t have to live in a tiled house anymore!

But, all these turned to nothing... Dad only divided three acres of land to him!

He had two sons and a daughter, why only a meager three acres? He was still the eldest son, his son was the eldest grandson...

"Why?" Xiao Yi softly asked.

"Why so ruthless to me, the eldest son..." Xie Jingwei’s eyes reddened, fervently drawing on the water pipe in his hands, continuously asking himself, had he done something wrong? Was it because of that incident—

He always felt, ever since his dad saw him observing heavy filial piety for his mother-in-law, he had been uneasy...

But Xiao Fen said her mother gave birth to five siblings, and in the end, only one son was there at the funeral, it was too lonely, she just wanted to observe heavy filial piety for an hour... before his dad arrived, she had already removed the mourning clothes!

He just sympathized with his wife’s filial piety, thinking it was just an hour, he agreed.

Who knew that just a few minutes after he put on the mourning clothes, his dad arrived...

He really didn’t mean to hurt his dad’s heart...

"Dad, don’t you still understand?"
