Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Qiao Zijin had made up her mind. Since she had arrived in the capital, no matter how the Zhai family treated her, she would be all smiles. Given that Ding Jiayi would make snide remarks from time to time, Qiao Zijin, who was well-behaved, stood out from Ding Jiayi. It showed that she was much more sensible than Ding Jiayi.

Qiao Nan and the Zhai family could not be rid of the Qiao family. She believed that Qiao Nan and the Zhai family would be glad that there was someone sensible who was well aware of her position in the Qiao family. If she and her mother continued to make a din, although they would not affect the Zhai family, it would not look good on the Zhai family.

Qiao Nan and the Zhai family would be glad that she no longer made trouble for them and she did not encourage her mother to go against Qiao Nan.

Since she helped Qiao Nan and the Zhai family, they should return the favor.

Qiao Zijin had finally overcome her own difficulties, to do what Chen Jun had asked her to do but she failed to do back then. However, after the mess that Ding Jiayi created, Qiao Zijin’s efforts had gone down the drain.

Ding Jiayi was oblivious to what was happening around her and she would only drag her own teammates down. She was a noob ally. Qiao Zijin was so furious at Ding Jiayi. There was a look of resentment in her eyes.

Qiao Zijin was well aware of her position. She knew that she could not be fearless or arrogant in front of Qiao Nan. If she did that, it would be doing herself in. She could not be bothered that Ding Jiayi wanted to dig her own grave, but she must not drag her down with her.

She was her biological mother!

Qiao Zijin, who had no way of stopping Ding Jiayi, could only watch helplessly as she ruined her future.

Given how Ding Jiayi behaved, Qiao Zijin had no wish to provide for such a mother like her or for her to enjoy her life in her old age.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Nan noticed that Qiao Zijin’s countenance had changed. She knew what was going on in Qiao Zijin’s mind.

It was true that she had married well. However, even if she had not married well or she was still single, Qiao Zijin had never thought of providing for her parents. Qiao Zijin could not wait for her to take care of their parents by herself.

In the previous life, Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun and led an easy life as a wealthy man’s wife. Despite this, she was not willing to buy good food for her aged parents. Right now, it was still uncertain whether Qiao Zijin would marry a man who was better than Chen Jun. It was tantamount to cutting a part of her flesh to ask her to bear half of her parents’ expenses.

However, everyone was staring at her, and Qiao Zijin noticed that her father seemed to be casting odd glances at her. She could not help but break out in a sweat in the cold weather. She was left with no other choice. “Dad and Mom went through a lot of hardships to provide for us. We have grown up, so it’s right for us to take care of them. It is a good idea to share the responsibility.”

Qiao Dongliang, who had been silent all the while, spoke up. “It is not easy indeed. At times, whether the children provide for the parents or not will have to depend on whether they have a conscience. Luckily, there is this law in the country that says that if the children refuse to provide for the family, they will be sent to jail. Nan Nan got married when she is very young. She is shortchanged as we spent less money on her while she has to provide for us. Zijin, don’t you think so?”

Qiao Zijin stiffened and her face turned green. She did not understand what her father meant by that.

Her father treated Qiao Nan very well. He must not be targeting Qiao Nan. If so, his words must be directed toward her? But why? Went to court and sent to jail? Was her father saying that if she did not provide for them in the future, he would send her to court?

With this thought in mind, Qiao Zijin, who wore a knitted cotton top, was drenched in a cold sweat.

Qiao Dongliang knew his daughter best. From her expression, he knew that his guess was correct. His elder daughter intended to agree first since everyone was present. But she might not provide for them when the time came.

By then, she had the money with her. It was up to her whether she provided for them or not. Apart from Qiao Zijin herself, no one could do anything about it. He and Old Ding could not possibly take her money from her.

It did not occur to Qiao Dongliang that if it was Qiao Nan, he would never do that to her. But Ding Jiayi was capable of that. Now that the subject was Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi behaved like any other parent. She would not do that to Qiao Zijin.

In short, Qiao Zijin only said those words to please her parents. She did not intend to take out her money to support her parents.

Qiao Zijin had been behaving very well. However, she did not turn over a new leaf. It was just that she had become smarter and more selfish than before. As long as it was useful to her future, it was not a problem to smile at Qiao Nan.

When she was doing her internship, she had to put on a smile in front of strangers. There were many times where she was scolded by them.

Compared to her internship, she only needed to watch her mouth in front of Qiao Nan and not to spout nonsense like her mother so as not to ruin her future. If she did that, the Zhai family would help put in a word for her and she would become the person whom others had to please.

Qiao Dongliang did not really understand Qiao Zijin. But he never believed that Qiao Zijin had really turned over a new leaf. Unless the elder daughter was reborn, she would not change her selfish personality.

To Qiao Zijin’s surprise, not only did her mother spoil her plan, but her father also made ambiguous statements. She could not help but break out in cold sweat. “D-dad is right. Mom, since Nan Nan has said so, you should not worry about me. I will settle my own problems.”

Qiao Zijin was given a fright by Qiao Dongliang. She no longer harbored the hope that the Zhai family would agree to help her with her job today.

If they continued, not only would the Zhai family disagree to help her to find a better job, but they might not welcome her due to her mother’s behavior as well. Moreover, Qiao Zijin was on tenterhooks due to Qiao Dongliang’s behavior.

She did not expect that her parents, who should be her biggest support, ended up as her stumbling block at the crucial moment. She could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

If she had a favor to ask of the Zhai family, it was better for her to make the trip by herself.

Chen Jun used to tell her that as Qiao Nan’s elder sister, as long as she did not create any trouble for Qiao Nan and was polite toward her despite being given the cold treatment, she would have a good life ahead.

Qiao Nan might hate her to the core, but she could make use of the fact she was the elder sister of the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law to have a smoother life than other people.

Chen Jun taught Qiao Zijin a lot of lessons as he hoped that his family would benefit from it.

It was a pity that when he was with Qiao Zijin, she did not understand what he was saying no matter how he explained to her. Now that they had broken up, he did not need to say another word, and Qiao Zijin became smarter and knew what she should do.
