Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Fortunately, Zhai Sheng’s performance did not disappoint him.

Peng Yu could be a good, bad, crooked, or evil one.

Nevertheless, as long as Zhai Sheng was capable and willing to protect Qiao Nan and the three babies, even if Peng Yu was the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, who had invincible powers, Zhai Sheng would be able to transform into the Gautama Buddha, who could stop him from escaping out of the Wuzhi Hill.

As a man, being able to protect his wife and children was the minimal expectation of him.

“Alright. When you next return to the army, find this person and have a talk with him.” Elder Lin tore a page from the notebook that he carried with him and passed it to Zhai Sheng. There was a contact number on it. “Remember. You have to protect my little disciple and three grand disciples well. I have not seen Peng Yu, that young lad, for five years. No one is clear what his bottom line is, so you have to try to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring. Understand?”

By right, everyone was Chinese and also soldiers. They should not implicate their family and children. One should not lay his hands on the other party’s family for the sake of career advancement and such.

However, no one could accurately predict this kind of matter.

Regardless of whether Peng Yu dared to have such thoughts, the safety of Qiao Nan and the three babies could only be assured if Zhai Sheng was powerful enough.

It was still the same words. It was not so easy to be a master.

Elder Lin was taking Qiao Nan and the three babies as his own children to dote on and protect.

Now, Elder Lin was also beginning to take action to handle matters he was unwilling to do so in the past. He had been unwilling to return to the capital but he still landed here.

Even though this was a junior that he once thought highly of and there was only one in a million chance that he would lay his hands on Qiao Nan and the three babies, Elder Lin was not willing to give Peng Yu a chance to do anything funny. He would rather pass the contacts in his hands to Zhai Sheng, this disciple-in-law, to make him more powerful.

Looking at the telephone number, Zhai Sheng was very shocked.

Even Zhai Sheng did not expect Qiao Nan to win Elder Lin’s favor to this extent, let alone Zhai Hua and Miao Jing. He was surprised that Elder Lin was willing to go so far for Qiao Nan.

After all, matters of the past had happened so long ago.

In addition, Elder Lin was also a very crafty man when he was young.

Everyone knew that Elder Lin was very formidable and was someone with means and resources. The interpersonal connections that he held were resources that would make one jealous.

The problem was that no one was exceptionally close to Elder Lin. As such, no one knew the true value of Elder Lin’s assets. They could not even estimate it.

Initially, everyone knew about Elder Lin’s situation. Hence, many feared and respected him. They definitely would not look down on Elder Lin just because he did not have any kin. On the contrary, given Elder Lin’s situation, many people wanted to make use of the children in their family to make Elder Lin one of their own.

Of course, all these people failed to do so.

After a long time, many people had forgotten about his glamorous past. As a result, the legend created by Elder Lin when he was young drowned in the currents of time.

It was only until he received the contact information that Zhai Sheng started to slowly realized that he seemed to have a chance to witness the infinite glory of Elder Lin because of Qiao Nan.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely take care of and protect Nan Nan and the three babies. This is my responsibility and also my duty.” He did not marry Nan Nan because of Elder Lin.

Elder Lin looked at Zhai Sheng proudly. He did not speak from his heart. “I don’t really like you. I think that my little disciple can find someone better. However, I have never doubted your feelings for my family’s little disciple.”

It was not unintentional that everyone had forgotten about him. This was all deliberately arranged by Elder Lin.

When Zhai Sheng acted as the bridge between his little disciple and him, he had never thought that it would have such an effect one day. Regardless, he was willing to guide and teach Zhai Sheng, this disciple-in-law. He took it that he was rewarding Zhai Sheng for finding him his favorite disciple when the latter hit the mark by a fluke many years ago.

“It has been so long. Have you all named my three little grand disciples?!” Regarding this, Elder Lin was going to feel resentful soon. The three babies did not have names yet. This affected him in gifting them.

“Da Bao is called Zhai Yi. Er Bao is called Zhai Xin. As for San Bao… Elder Lin, how about you give her a name?” This was the outcome of the discussion between Old Master Zhai, Zhai Sheng, and Zhai Yaohui.

Besides the Zhai family, almost everyone in their social circle was aware of how much Elder Lin liked the three children.

It was also after the three babies’ full month celebration that people in the social circle found out that Qiao Nan was not only good at giving birth but also very lucky. She was actually the young disciple that Elder Lin doted on most. Hence, she was also a ‘little’ character who had quite some background.

At the thought that Elder Lin was childless and thus so good to Qiao Nan, the three men of the Zhai family unanimously agreed that perhaps they could let Elder Lin name San Bao.

Elder Lin trembled slightly. “What did you say? Youngster, don’t talk nonsense. I know you are kind but you can’t casually talk about this kind of thing.” Who would let other adults decide on the name of their own family’s children? To them, this was a matter with great implications.

Zhai Sheng was not the first one that let Elder Lin name his children but he was the only one that made Elder Lin reveal such an emotional side of him.

Elder Lin was childless and many people had thoughts to either acknowledge fictive kinship with Elder Lin or become his disciple. They intended to let Elder Lin and the Lin family adopt their children directly.

The surprise of letting Elder Lin give the name was due to this.

“Elder Lin, don’t worry. This was discussed by our family’s old master and me yesterday. My dad knows and he doesn’t object to it. Come to think of it, Elder Lin likes San Bao more, no?” After all, San Bao was the only girl. Rare items were more precious. San Bao was more cherished than her two elder brothers.

Elder Lin’s white mustache moved. He seemed to have considered for a long time. With some tears in his eyes, he said, “Let’s call her Zhai Yu.”

“Which Yu?” Zhai Hua asked curiously. Once the names of the three babies were firmed up, they had to register them in the household register immediately. Which Yu was that? They had to clarify.

“The meaning of beautiful jade.” Elder Lin explained. Elder Lin was once young. He had also looked forward to having love and kinship before. In the past, when he saw other men carrying fat and chubby daughters in their arms, Elder Lin thought that he would name his daughter Lin Yu if he was going to have one in the future. This was because his daughter would be the most beautiful piece of exotic jade in his world, and this was something that would not change.

As he was already in the closing years of his life, Elder Lin had long buried the name ‘Yu’ deeply in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Sheng’s words had fulfilled one of Elder Lin’s dreams when the latter was young. Although he did not have a daughter by the name of Lin Yu, he had a grand disciple by the name of Zhai Yu!

“This is a good name.” Zhai Hua clapped her hands and made the final say. The names that she came up with did not meet the standards. When she heard the name from Elder Lin, she found it especially meaningful and agreed without a further word.
