Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 2048
Chapter 2048: Reconnecting
“Why am I even talking so much to you? This is the situation now. If the both of you are capable, I won’t interfere. You can create trouble however you like.”
Yes, his previous worries were unnecessary. Based on their identities as ordinary citizens, even if Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin created trouble, it wouldn’t be too much of a trouble. It wasn’t easy for them to take a bribe. However, didn’t they return the money immediately?
He believed that with Zhai Sheng’s ability, no matter how troublesome Ding Jiayi was, Zhai Sheng should be able to handle her. He said to hand Nan Nan over to Zhai Sheng for him to take care of her. Indeed, Zhai Sheng did a better job than him, her birth father.
Qiao Dongliang couldn’t manage Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. He couldn’t manage Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng either. In the face of this situation, Qiao Dongliang’s shoulders collapsed. Perhaps in the future, he only needed to take good care of himself and lead his own life. No one in this family needed him anymore.
The mentally tired Qiao Dongliang no longer interrupted Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s discussion. He was the only one in this family who wasn’t thinking in the same frequency as this mother-daughter pair.
Once Qiao Dongliang left, the mother-daughter pair fell into a same-frequency discussion.
Initially, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin both felt that perhaps Ding Jiayi’s expression wasn’t clear enough that day or the person Ding Jiayi asked for help from was too stupid and didn’t understand Ding Jiayi’s intention that Qiao Zijin was pulled down, the neighbor’s daughter was pushed up, and such a ‘blunder’ was committed.
However, after the neighbor’s words, Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi faintly felt it should be that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng knew what they had done and made a call, thus causing Qiao Zijin to lose the interview opportunity.
The mother-daughter pair was angry and cursed Qiao Nan to die a horrible death. No matter how happy Qiao Nan was now, after Zhai Sheng understood that she was heartless and had no kinship to speak of with her family, he would definitely abandon Qiao Nan not too long later. How would Qiao Nan, who had left Zhai Sheng, have the capital to be arrogant?
Both of them could scold Qiao Nan very happily. However, the result was that Qiao Nan was unharmed but their throats were about to be sore from all the scolding. Other people hurt the enemy by a thousand by self-injuring eight hundred. However, aside from self-injuring eight hundred, what Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin did couldn’t even hurt a strand of Qiao Nan’s hair.
After scolding, Qiao Zijin was short of breath and gulped down two glasses of water. “Mom, what should we do next about this situation?” To be more precise, it should be what they were going to do in the future.
At this time, Qiao Zijin also understood what Ding Jiayi was up to. It didn’t matter that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng weren’t around and that the call didn’t go through. As long as Ding Jiayi boasted her relationship with these two people, there would still be people willing to take care of their family matters.
However, the incident this time stated a problem. If a similar situation were to occur again in the future, the results of Ding Jiayi’s hard work might disappear completely with a call from Zhai Sheng. She wouldn’t even be able to get any hard-earned money.
Ding Jiayi was making use of the Zhai family. However, Zhai Sheng immediately destroyed what she was doing. Even if Ding Jiayi wasn’t feeling discouraged, she would have nothing in the end.
Upon thinking that Qiao Nan had been married to such a good man but Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng were not even willing for her to be a civil servant, the helpless Qiao Zijin started to shed tears in front of Ding Jiayi again. “Mom, how are we going to lead our lives in the future?” The husband wasn’t hers, the work wasn’t hers, and the money wasn’t hers. Even this quad was Qiao Nan’s.
“Don’t cry. It hasn’t been long since you did the operation. If you cry too much, you’ll hurt your body.” No matter how anxious she was, she was still a headless fly and didn’t have any idea at all. “No, let me think about it again. I’m her mom. She has to listen to me. Even if she doesn’t acknowledge me, she can’t get rid of our relationship. I’ll sue her!”
How atrocious. Not only did she make her work for nothing, but she even let her old neighbor see her as a joke and suffer ridicule. If word of this got out today, how was she going to maintain her face at the quad in the future? How was Qiao Nan not a bad woman? She was extremely bad!
“Sue her?” Qiao Zijin stopped crying. “What are you going to sue her for? How are you going to sue her? Her husband’s Zhai Sheng. Is there any use in us suing her?” Qiao Zijin was a little desperate. From last year onward, everything was no longer under control. Qiao Nan had changed such that she didn’t listen to her or her mom’s words anymore. She was completely out of control.
There were changes to everything because Qiao Nan was out of control. In the past, their family of four used to live well. They didn’t argue and were as peaceful as other families. Why did Qiao Nan have to change? Why did Qiao Nan harm the Qiao family and make them suffer for her own happiness?
Wasn’t it alright to sacrifice a little for the sake of one’s loved ones? At least, Qiao Nan’s compromise alone could be exchanged for the happiness of three people. On the contrary, now that Qiao Nan was leading a good life, nobody else was happy. Could the lives they were leading now still be considered humane?
Qiao Zijin was full of resentment, but she couldn’t do anything to Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was long beyond Qiao Zijin’s reach. Even if Qiao Zijin stood on tiptoe or stepped on a ladder, she still couldn’t reach Qiao Nan.
“I…” Ding Jiayi seemed to be in a difficult position. Qiao Nan wasn’t afraid of her. Based on Qiao Nan’s situation now, she had more ideas than her. She couldn’t control Qiao Nan, and Qiao Nan wasn’t even willing to see her. If they couldn’t meet in person and she wasn’t willing to pick up her call, how was she going to convey all her reasoning to Qiao Nan? Everything became a dead knot again. “I’m her mom. I’m almost seventy years old. It isn’t too overboard for her to provide for me, right? It has been almost a year since she ran away last year. For a year, she didn’t give me any money. This is her fault here. Why can’t I sue her?”
Yes, that was it.
Qiao Nan was forty years old. She was married and had a family now. It was Qiao Nan’s responsibility to support her parents. Qiao Nan was obliged to provide for her. It was against the law if she didn’t do so. She had a basis for suing her. Yes, that was said on TV as well.
When she found Qiao Nan this time, she had to let her know clearly that she had to provide for her. She didn’t need to think about using a few yuan to send her away. She had to think of how much money she should give her each month, what kind of filial piety she should have during the holidays, and how much clothes and food she should buy. Everything must be thought through in a comprehensive manner.
At the mention of supporting the elderly, Qiao Zijin didn’t object to it. “The only problem now is how we’re going to contact Qiao Nan.” Was there any use if they sued Qiao Nan but she didn’t turn up?
