Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 972 Nearly Relented

“Mom, it has been so long. Did you contact Sister Hua Hua?” Qiao Nan shook her head. It would only be seven days. If she had to return to Ping Cheng, she would first need to spend two days traveling to and fro in a car. It would be too tiring.

If she could afford it or when there was high-speed rail, she could return to Ping Cheng during such a seven-day long holiday then.

At the mention of Zhai Hua, Miao Jing looked perplexed. After some time, she gave out a sigh. “I’ve seen Hua Hua before I came. She has lost a lot of weight. When I saw Hua Hua in that state, I nearly relented. I was thinking that I should just allow her to be with Wei De. When she was a child, I was not by her side. This has caused her to feel a lack of love and care. I will have to pay her back what I owe her eventually.”

Before Miao Jing could tell Zhai Hua that she would agree to the latter’s relationship with Wei De, Zhai Yaohui pulled Miao Jing away. Thereafter, he only reminded Zhai Hua to do well in the army and redeem the loss and hurt caused by her previously.

Miao Jing would relent at such times but not Zhai Yaohui.

In the past, Zhai Hua completely refused to listen. At this juncture, Zhai Hua was still willing to listen a little and persist in her decision. How could Zhai Yaohui soften his stance at this time? Clearly, he knew that her daughter’s choice of man was wrong. He could not allow her daughter to continue with the mistake just because his heart ached for her.

Before she could completely let go of this, it was necessary that his daughter suffered a little.

In the future, when his daughter had calmed down and found her own happiness, she would naturally understand that the suffering and persistence that she had endured in the past were worth it.

Zhai Yaohui was a man. Regardless of how much his heart ached when he saw Zhai Hua lose weight and become haggard and not as happy as before, he would not talk about it. Miao Jing was a woman. Today, when Qiao Nan asked about it, she spilled everything. “You don’t know. That Wei De is very mean. Hua Hua did not come back to Ping Cheng and she refused to see him. He couldn’t enter the camp, so he actually sent letters to Hua Hua directly. He kept sending photos of his nephew and him. He even said that his nephew knows how to address her as auntie-in-law now.”

At the thought of these words, Miao Jing was so furious that her liver hurt.

Her daughter was not married yet. She was a virgin. Yet, Wei De wanted her to help him raise a child after marriage.

Although this was his nephew, it was not reasonable!

“Without these letters and photos, I think Hua Hua’s life will certainly be much better. Perhaps this is why Hua Hua lost weight. She has been tortured!” The more that was the case, the more Miao Jing could not look up to Wei De.

If not for the fact that the Zhai family never did things under the table, would Wei De, this kind of person, be able to continue leading a good life in Ping Cheng?

Qiao Nan’s expression changed. “Mom, don’t be upset. I will give Sister Hua Hua a call later and chat with her.” If what her mother-in-law said was true, Wei De was being too much then.

“That’s good too.” Miao Jing nodded. “Hua Hua is very stubborn. In the initial years, her dad and me… No matter what, Zhai Sheng and your words, she will still listen to some of them.”

“Yes, Sister Hua Hua is still quite rational. As long as our words make sense, she will listen to them. Don’t worry. I have a feeling that Sister Hua Hua and Wei De can’t remain together anymore.” She really did not look up to Wei De. Although she vaguely recalled that Sister Hua Hua seemed to have married Wei De in her previous life.

Qiao Nan could not describe clearly how she felt that day. However, she felt revulsion to Wei De from the bottom of her heart.

Wei De felt that she was not worthy of Brother Zhai due to her humble status. On the other hand, she felt that Wei De was not a good person and was not worthy of Sister Hua Hua.

Qiao Nan said ‘our’. However, Miao Jing understood in her heart that it was just ‘my’ and not ‘our’.

Miao Jing had been thinking. Was it because she and Zhao Yaohui were not by Zhai Hua’s side when she was a child? In addition, Zhai Sheng was her younger brother. Was that why Zhai Hua was especially unwilling to listen to them?

It was great that Qiao Nan was a neutral party and did not have any conflict with Zhai Hua. Both of them were also ladies. Hence, Zhai Hua was willing to listen to Qiao Nan. “I can only trouble you on Hua Hua’s matter.” Miao Jing knew that she did not have any other way regarding this.

“No trouble.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “I feel that many things may happen if Wei De joins the family.” If anything were to happen to the Zhai family, Brother Zhai would certainly be the one resolving the problems. She did not want it to be so hard on Brother Zhai. She hoped that he could focus wholeheartedly on his passion, which was the army. At the very least, she must not let family matters become Brother Zhai’s stumbling block.

“Okay.” Miao Jing nodded. Although Hua Hua was the elder sister and Zhai Sheng the younger brother, if it were a few decades ago, once Nan Nan married into the Zhai family, she would be in charge of the family’s domestic affairs. She would have to manage her sister-in-law as well.

Fortunately, despite Nan Nan’s young age, she was very responsible and capable. If she were weaker, her prior worries would certainly happen.

Nan Nan was able to hold the fort. Naturally, his son would be the one enjoying life.

After advising Miao Jing, Qiao Nan did not stay behind. She left before Zhai Sheng and Zhai Yaohui came home. She returned to the small courtyard of the Lin family and helped Shi Qing pack her luggage. “How is your packing going along?”

“My goodness, you’re still worried about me? I’m almost done with the packing. But you have to consider this carefully. After I leave, you will be staying here alone. Do you feel afraid?” A young lady staying alone-no matter what, it was quite worrying.

“Not afraid.” Qiao Nan shook her head honestly. Was it scary to stay alone?

This house belonged to her master. In her previous life, she had twenty years of experience staying in a rented apartment alone.

Although she certainly felt afraid in the beginning, she had stayed alone for about twenty years. No matter how timid she was, she was already numb to it.

Shi Qing could tell that Qiao Nan was telling the truth. She was surprised. “I thought that you were timid. I didn’t expect… Not bad.” Shi Qing patted Qiao Nan’s shoulders. She was daring enough to stay alone. Not many people of their age could do that. “Alright, since you are not afraid, I will feel more assured when I leave.”

“Continue packing. I am going to make a call.” After confirming that Shi Qing did not need her help anymore, Qiao Nan remembered Zhai Hua’s matter. She quickly gave Zhai Hua a call.

When Zhai Hua picked up the call, Qiao Nan could hear a listless voice. “Hello, good day.”

“Sister Hua Hua, it’s me.”

“Nan Nan!” Zhai Hua, who was at a loss, perked up immediately when she heard Qiao Nan’s voice. “Nan Nan, it’s such a coincidence. I wanted to contact you recently. I wish to discuss some matters with you.”

Zhai Hua was aware that she had a soft heart. In particular, the more Wei De talked into her ears, her heart would become as soft as her ears no matter how determined she was.

Zhai Hua knew that it was not right for her to behave in this way.

Unfortunately, there was no one by her side to remind her again and again and sober her up. She really had no choice. As such, Zhai Hua had thought of giving Qiao Nan a call.
