Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

In Ping Cheng, five million would be more than enough for her to purchase a large house for her younger brother. She would even have enough leftover to buy him a small BMW so that he could get married. In short, the five million yuan would help settle the most important event of her brother's life, and her brother would lead a comfortable life from now on.

Even if it was not for herself, she had to try her best for her brother's sake. Although this was a piece of good news, she had kept it from her family. In case she was unsuccessful, her family would have gotten excited over nothing if they had learned about the five million yuan.

Besides, ever since she found out that Qiao Nan had married Zhai Sheng and had become the chief's wife, Wang Yang's wife had felt rather pressured. If anyone could use their power to oppress others, it would be the Zhai family. There was no way they could do anything to the Zhai family or Qiao Nan. Moreover, they weren't even in control of the situation. It was truly a tricky situation.

As such, she had no intention of letting her family know about this matter until she succeeded. For the sake of her brother getting a wife, she could only give it her all.

"Qiao Nan gave birth to three children. Have you bought things for all three children? It's better to be prepared for such a situation. It'll be terribly awkward if we turn up unprepared." Wang Yang didn't know what to say.

It was the new year and Wang Yang was bringing his wife back to Ping Cheng to celebrate it. Unfortunately, not a single person in the Wang family was feeling happy even on such a joyous occasion. Even Father Wang had been frowning the whole year. Father Wang glanced at his daughter-in-law with an unfriendly gaze. Everyone in the Wang family knew just how dissatisfied he was with his daughter-in-law.

Hadn't his brother-in-law liked Qiao Nan? There was nothing wrong with his son marrying Qiao Nan, but his son had refused. Yes, his daughter-in-law had given him a grandson. But what about Qiao Nan? She had given birth to a daughter and two sons for Zhai Sheng! Compared to Qiao Nan's triplets, his daughter-in-law had only given him a single grandson. It couldn't compare at all!

Besides, not only had Qiao Nan given birth to three children for the Zhai family in just a year after marriage, but Qiao Nan would even receive a windfall if the Zhu family's assets were to really land up in Qiao Nan's hands.

Women like Qiao Nan truly had good fortune and brought good fortune to their husbands too. If his son had married Qiao Nan, Zhu Chengqi might have helped Wang Yang progress through the ranks much more quickly for Qiao Nan's sake. Then, they would have whatever they desired, be it money or status.

The situation would be completely different now. They had initially believed that the Zhu family's assets would definitely be theirs, but a will had appeared out of the blue, leading to them having nothing to do with a single cent of the Zhu family!

This daughter-in-law of his did resemble Qiao Nan slightly. So, why had his son refused to marry Qiao Nan and chose to marry this woman instead? Didn't they say that women were all the same once the lights went off? Anyway, this woman looked pretty much like Qiao Nan even without the lights off.

Father Wang couldn't understand why Wang Yang had rejected his suggestion of Wang Yang marrying Qiao Nan at that time. Then, why had he married such a frustrating woman?

What Father Wang was most frustrated about was that his daughter-in-law did, in fact, resemble Qiao Nan. If they had been completely different, Father Wang might not have been so angry. She resembled Qiao Nan in her appearance, but their fates and lives couldn't be more different. Most infuriatingly, the one whom his son had married was the one who had not made much of herself.

Because of Father Wang's attitude, it wasn't just Wang Yang who didn't have a good new year. In fact, Wang Yang's wife had it the hardest. Wang Yang's wife was not blind or foolish and could tell that her father-in-law was displeased with her. He was her elder, and Wang Yang was filial. Although her father-in-law was the one at fault, Wang Yang's wife dared not argue with him. Throughout the whole new year period, she was no different from a frightened quail and dared not lift her head at all.

What Wang Yang's wife had no idea about was that it was exactly because of this attitude that her father-in-law looked down on her even more.

Wang Yang and his wife had finally toiled through the year and were about to head to the capital to fight for the Zhu family's assets. The couple knew that the atmosphere in the family would never improve unless they managed to get hold of the assets. It didn't matter whether it was the new year.

Thinking about how they would spend the new year, Wang Yang's wife felt aggrieved. "Dear, you saw how my father-in-law was during the new year period. What will happen if we fail?" Her father-in-law's dissatisfaction with her had already reached its peak.

If she failed to help Wang Yang retrieve everything that belonged to the Zhu family, her father-in-law might very well force her to get a divorce from Wang Yang.

At the thought of that possibility, Wang Yang's wife was on the verge of tears.

"Don't be so timid. We'll succeed no matter what. We can't afford to fail. We don't need a backup plan. Stop saying such depressing things during the new year." After all, it was usually one's worst fears that always came true. He had to do everything he could to secure all of the Zhu family's assets. "There's no hurry. We still have a month before the court hearing date. We still have time. If we lose the case, we can appeal against it to freeze all of the Zhu family's assets. We'll appeal until we succeed. I don't believe that I won't get anything from Zhu Chengqi as his closest living kin!"

Because of the will that Zhu Chengqi had drafted before his death, Wang Yang lost all authority over the Zhu family's assets.

Before he could get hold of any of those things, there was no way Wang Yang was going to give Qiao Nan the chance to spend a single cent of the Zhu family's money. All of that belonged to the Zhu family, and that meant that it belonged to him. He had even earned some of that through his own efforts. There was no way he would let anyone else spend his money.

"Alright, I understand." Wang Yang's wife finally relaxed upon hearing that. "Don't worry. I know that Qiao Nan gave birth to two sons and a daughter. It was difficult to buy things for them before they were born, but now that they've been born, I'm sure I won't make a mistake." She would simply buy two sets of male outfits, as well as one for females.

If she couldn't even do such a simple thing, her father-in-law would definitely force her to divorce Wang Yang. The thought of this possibility scared Wang Yang's wife.

She couldn't afford to get a divorce! Never!

No matter what it took, she would find a way to meet Qiao Nan and make friends with her so that she could talk about the Zhu family's inheritance.

Nothing was impossible as long as one had the will. Wang Yang and his wife knew that they would eventually have a breakthrough as long as they kept their eyes firmly on Qiao Nan.
