Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

"Miao Jing is a jinx. Isn't the chief afraid that people in his family will meet with accidents and die early just like your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Of course, her niece wouldn't be as close to her as her daughter was.

Thinking about how Miao Jing had been suffering in her hands all these years, Second Auntie Miao would have to coax Miao Jing and suck up to her instead once Miao Jing married the chief's son. Second Auntie Miao hated the idea of that! There was no way she would let that happen!

"Don't you think you're overthinking it? The chief may be impressive, but he isn't a god. How could he possibly know that? In my opinion, it's better to just go with my plan and let Lanlan take Miao Jing's place and enjoy a good life. Apart from my own daughter, I will trust no one. Do you think Miao Jing will remember us once she gets married into a good family? Think about how we've treated her all these years."

Second Auntie Miao finally spoke the truth at this point in time.

To be honest, they hadn't just treated her averagely. They had treated her extremely poorly.

It was exactly because Second Auntie Miao was clear about that that she was unwilling to let Miao Jing have such a good opportunity.

She felt that Miao Jing would definitely ignore these poor relatives of hers once she went with the chief and had a good and comfortable life to live.

Besides, she couldn't possibly watch on as Miao Jing went to live a blissful life.

Miao Jing was a jinx. She had better be filial to her uncle and auntie for the rest of her life. That was the attitude she ought to have.

Second Uncle Miao laughed self-deprecatingly. "I really hope I'm overthinking it, but from what I see, that isn't the case. I won't talk about anything else. But the chief might very well come and deal with us once he finds out that you lied to him that Lanlan was Miao Jing. You're such a failure. Have you never thought about the consequences before trying to cheat others? Our three children are really going to be ruined by you!"

If he had known that this was going to happen, he should have knocked this b*tch unconscious and dragged her into the room the moment she opened her mouth.

Look at how much trouble she had caused in such a short span of time.

"Dad, don't scare me. I can't be frightened like that." Miao Lanlan had already been stunned by Old Zhai's anger.

Usually, Miao Lanlan was haughty and arrogant in front of Miao Jing. Even though Miao Jing was a few months older than her, she had never once addressed Miao Jing as her elder sister. In fact, she only addressed Miao Jing by her name when she was in a good mood.

When she was in a bad mood, Miao Lanlan would simply call Miao Jing whatever she wanted.

But in front of Old Zhai, Miao Lanlan dared not act so recklessly. She was no different from a little kitten.

Second Auntie Miao had already said that she was Miao Jing, but Miao Lanlan dared not step forward to get close to Old Zhai, nor try to please him.

Miao Lanlan felt that the gaze of that impressive chief alone was enough to make her legs give way.

Miao Lanlan had already been in such shock, and after hearing her dad's words, she felt as though she was going to faint from fear.

"Humph!" Second Uncle Miao huffed. "You're just like your mom. Since you're so timid, why didn't you tell him that you're Miao Lanlan and that you're our daughter when your mom said that you were Miao Jing? You want to take advantage of others, but you don't have the courage to actually do it! I get so frustrated looking at you two! I've already said my piece. If the chief really comes back to deal with you two, I'm going to chase both of you out of the house."

Anyway, he still had two sons. It didn't matter if he didn't have a wife. In another few years' time, his sons would get married and he would have people to serve him all the same.

"Mom…" Miao Lanlan hugged Second Auntie Miao as she burst into tears. "Mom, I'm so scared. What shall we do? We didn't do anything wrong. Why would the chief try to get back at us and want our lives?"

Second Auntie Miao herself was in fear too, but she couldn't show that in front of her daughter.

Second Auntie Miao held her daughter in her arms, trying to console herself and her daughter. "Don't be afraid. Think about it. Those four olds that were so impressive have already been defeated. One of them was even Chairman Mao's wife! So what if he's a chief? Is the chief more important than the chairman? We're ordinary folks who haven't done anything against the law. We're not slave drivers or traitors. They have no right to take our lives. Don't worry. Listen to me. We'll be fine."

Miao Lanlan sniffled. "Mom, are you still sending me to the chief's side to let me have a good life? Will I marry the chief's son?" Besides, did the chief even have a son?

Second Auntie Miao smiled bitterly. Did she want to?

Of course she did. She was almost going crazy just thinking about it.

If she succeeded in doing so, she would become in-laws with a chief. Of course, she wanted her daughter to marry well.

But after learning about Miao Jing's name, the chief had shown no interest in Lanlan at all, much less talked about bringing Lanlan along with him or finding a good partner for her.

Before the chief left, he hadn't even said anything or asked them if they wanted him to help with finding Miao Jing a partner or even to treat Miao Jing well on his behalf, much less offer to give her a dowry if she were to get married.

Now, Second Auntie Miao couldn't help but think that it was normal for a family like theirs to not be able to become in-laws with the chief.

But her husband's elder brother had saved the chief twice, after all! Twice!

How could the chief do nothing now that Miao Jing was going to get married?

As long as the chief sent some things over to Miao Jing, Second Auntie Miao would have the final say over what she could bring with her and she had to leave at home.

Second Auntie Miao had already thought it through. There was no way the chief would send too few things over to Miao Jing, and neither would he send cheap things over.

Perhaps, she could even use these gifts to prepare a good dowry for her daughter and even help her two sons get married.

But the chief had not said a word and had simply taken his leave after understanding the family's situation!

At the thought of this, Second Auntie Miao was infuriated.

"Mom, since the chief is gone, shouldn't you get Miao Jing back? Otherwise, who's going to wash our clothes, feed the pigs, and take care of the livestock tomorrow? You'd better not ask me to do all that. It's so smelly and dirty. I'm not going to do it."

With her mother around and reassuring her that nothing would happen, Miao Lanlan, who had been sobbing just moments earlier, was back to her usual arrogant self.

Second Auntie Miao patted her thigh. "If you didn't mention it, I would really have forgotten all about all the household chores awaiting that jinx.. Since the chief is gone, I'd better go get her back."
