Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 964
Chapter 964: Mom, What Do You Take Your Son For?
“I don’t care about how others see you. In my eyes, you are just Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng, a soldier.”
As for the glory that surrounded Brother Zhai because of the Zhai family, it was inadvertent to her.
As long as she was well aware of this and could keep a correct mindset, Qiao Nan did not feel very disappointed that Zhai Sheng could not be involved in the wedding preparations. Even if she wished to be involved herself, she also had to pick the right time.
In fact, speaking of it, it would be tough and tiring for the elders of the two families. The two actual parties concerned would be slacking.
Tears welled up in Miao Jing’s eyes as she cast an unhappy glare at Zhai Sheng. She then looked at Qiao Nan, feeling very much consoled at heart. She had long known that Nan Nan was a sensible and understanding child.
Having raised her children for a lifetime, naturally, she hoped to give the best for them. The most worrying thing was that sometimes, although parents treated their child well, the child did not understand them. Instead, they shunned the elders for being annoying busybodies.
As a full-time housewife, besides being tied up with Zhai Yaohui’s matters, Miao Jing did not have anything else to do.
During these few years, under Qiao Nan’s advice, she had finally and gradually shifted her focus away from Zhai Yaohui. She now had a lot of time to spare. Hence, regarding the two youngsters’ wedding, didn’t it give her an opportunity to utilize her time?
However, the thing that Miao Jing was most happy and cared about was that after Qiao Nan was officially married to Zhai Sheng and gave birth to babies, she would be able to focus on raising up her little grandchild.
She was not with her son or daughter during their childhood. Hence, she must not miss out on the childhood of her little grandchild.
In the future, if Hua Hua was willing to let her take care of her children after marriage, she would certainly be most willing to do so as well.
After having sweet-smelling and soft little paternal and maternal grandchildren, who would care about men? All men would become clouds then.
Qiao Nan was someone who had lived for two lifetimes. At the time when her biological mother caused her death, she was already almost forty years old. Hence, she did not have the impetuousness of a young lady. She was also not pampered and did not like crowded events.
Zhai Sheng was a son. He was now older and opinionated. Miao Jing could not control him at all. As for Zhai Hua, although she was a lady, her temper was not mild at all. Zhai Hua’s words were akin to spilled water. She was very stubborn.
As such, to Miao Jing, although she had a pair of son and daughter, their temper was worse than each other’s. They were extremely worrying. Now, she had Qiao Nan, a daughter-in-law who was so understanding and sensible. How could Miao Jing not love her?
The two children in her family were already so hard to relate to. If she had a daughter-in-law who was similar to them, Miao Jing’s life would become truly difficult.
Zhai Sheng did not say much. His grip on Qiao Nan’s hand tightened. He was silently expressing his feelings for Qiao Nan.
Never would he have thought that that little sister who had cried and collided with him that day would become his wife and his children’s mother very soon.
“Alright, we will decide as such then.” Miao Jing called the final shots.
Although they had been discussing the marriage of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan, these people had not mentioned Ding Jiayi throughout the whole process. They only talked about Qiao Dongliang. Obviously, although Ding Jiayi had given birth to Qiao Nan and was the latter’s biological mother, she did not have any place in the hearts of these people.
“Okay.” Zhai Sheng’s tone was lively and uplifted. It was not hard to tell that he was currently in a good mood.
“I will listen to Mom.” Qiao Nan nodded.
In fact, the trio did not eat much during this meal. Nevertheless, they felt more satisfied and happy than one another. “Zhai Sheng, it’s late now. Quickly send Nan Nan back.” Nan Nan was a child with a lot of self-awareness. Besides coming to their place, she would be at the small courtyard of the Lin family with Shi Qing. This was unlike other ladies who had capricious character and liked to have fun in clubs or something.
Zhai Sheng carried the books for Qiao Nan. “Okay, Mom. Go to sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.”
“Come back immediately thereafter!” Miao Jing added as she was worried.
It was fine that they had it their way at home but that was the small courtyard of the Lin family and Lin Yuankang’s house. Furthermore, Shi Qing would be present at the small courtyard. Miao Jing was not the kind of person who was very open-minded in this aspect. At the thought that her son was going to ‘bully’ her daughter-in-law in someone else’s house and in the presence of another lady, Miao Jing could not accept it.
Zhai Sheng could not help tugging the corners of his lips. “Mom, what do you take me for?”
He was purely concerned for his mother and did not want his mother to wait for him for too long. That was the reason that he asked his mother to rest early. What was his mother thinking of?
Miao Jing snorted in disbelief. “You know it yourself. Nan Nan, after you are home, rest early, okay?” Miao Jing did not remind Zhai Sheng again. Instead, she hinted to Qiao Nan not to allow Zhai Sheng to mess around and bully her.
Qiao Nan’s face had already turned red. “Mom, don’t worry. It won’t happen. Brother Zhai won’t bully me.” She had to hint at such things that everyone was aware of, and it was something so embarrassing…
“Are you sure?” Qiao Nan believed Zhai Sheng but Miao Jing, this mother, did not. “Nevertheless, I will leave it to you.” No matter what, her son was the one ‘bullying’. From this perspective, the Zhai family would not be shortchanged.
Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Brother Zhai, you won’t bully me, right?” True enough, her mother-in-law knew Brother Zhai better than her. In fact, when Qiao Nan said that Brother Zhai would not bully her just now, she did not feel quite assured about it.
After all, everyone was aware that this bullying did not truly mean bullying in its sense.
After shooting an emotionless glance at his biological mother who had backstabbed him, Zhai Sheng then placed Qiao Nan’s books in his car. “Don’t worry. At least, I won’t do so today.” Zhai Sheng was also very conservative at heart.
Unless Shi Qing was not at the small courtyard of the Lin family, Zhai Sheng would not be used to it as well.
After receiving Zhai Sheng’s assurance, both Qiao Nan and Miao Jing could not help heaving a sigh of relief. Obviously, these two women did not truly believe Zhai Sheng. At this sight, Zhai Sheng’s face immediately turned dark.
“Alright, Zhai Sheng, quickly send Nan Nan back.” Miao Jing smiled, embarrassed. She knew that she had angered her son. By doing that, she certainly did not save any face for her son in front of her daughter-in-law.
“Okay.” Zhai Sheng held the seat beside that of the driver and closed the door of the car. “Mom, rest early. Do not let your thoughts run wild without a reason and scare Nan Nan.”
Miao Jing did not make any inference from her son’s words. She even waved at Qiao Nan. “Be careful on the road.”
“Bye, Mom.” Qiao Nan reached out her hands abidingly and waved at Miao Jing.
When Zhai Sheng sent Qiao Nan home, it was only about eight o’clock in the evening.
Qiao Nan alighted from the car. “Brother Zhai, I’ve arrived home. Go back. No need to send me into the house.”
“Be good.” Zhai Sheng alighted from the car stubbornly and placed his arms around Qiao Nan’s shoulders. He then personally sent Qiao Nan into the house of the Lin family before he was willing to leave. “It seems that Shi Qing is not back yet. I will keep you company for a while.”
“Mom has asked you to go home earlier.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
