Chapter 2123: Not Easy
Was Qiao Zijin someone who knew her limits? No!
No matter how legitimately she accepted Qiao Zijin’s things, were Qiao Zijin’s things so easy to take? No! Whoever dared to take Qiao Zijin’s things had to be prepared for their fingers to be chopped off! Regardless of whether it should be the case or not, Qiao Zijin’s things had knives on them. Don’t expect to get them if one didn’t bleed or pay a higher price.
Knowing that Qiao Zijin was a calculative person who expected five hundred yuan in return if she took five yuan out, Qiao Nan was particularly unwilling to accept Qiao Zijin’s things. She didn’t want to give Qiao Zijin a reason and opportunity to create trouble for her.
Qiao Nan was heavily guarded against Qiao Zijin. This was the experience acc.u.mulated from Qiao Nan’s lessons in two lifetimes. She would definitely not go wrong.
“Dad, there’s no need to. She doesn’t have to buy clothes for my children. You should also understand that I don’t want what she buys.” It didn’t matter even if she was being called a coward. She knew that if Qiao Zijin really wanted to create trouble for her, even if she didn’t accept these things, Qiao Zijin would still have an excuse to come find her. That aside, it was good for her if she could give Qiao Zijin one lesser excuse.
“Nan Nan, you can’t be like this.” Qiao Dongliang had long expected that Qiao Nan wouldn’t be able to forgive Qiao Zijin within a short period of time and reconcile with her. As such, Qiao Dongliang wasn’t discouraged at all. “The matter between you and Zijin should be resolved by the both of you. Over these years, you’ve taken care of Fengfeng quite a bit, right? Zijin never rejected you, right? Now, she just wants to treat the three children in your stomach well. At least, you can’t represent the three children and reject the love and care that their aunt is providing them. Moreover, after the three children are born, you must not educate them in this manner. Otherwise, they will go astray. Your sister did a lot of wrong things. However, she has never stopped you from interacting with Fengfeng or treating Fengfeng well.”
In other words, in this regard, Zijin did better than Nan Nan.
Qiao Nan immediately felt disgusted. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to hang up the call immediately.
Qiao Nan didn’t deny what Qiao Dongliang had said. Indeed, Qiao Zijin had never rejected her from getting too close to Chen Feng or prevented her from treating Chen Feng well. The problem was that Qiao Zijin’s actions were not as n.o.ble and rational as what her dad had said.
Qiao Zijin was using Chen Feng to show off to her. Qiao Zijin wanted to tell her that even if she had s.n.a.t.c.hed Chen Jun away from her hands and no matter how much hatred she had in her heart or how resentful she felt, as an aunt, she had no choice but to treat Chen Feng, who was the biggest accomplice, well. More importantly, Chen Feng was the best evidence that Chen Jun had betrayed her and Qiao Zijin had won against her back then.
Qiao Zijin allowing her to get close to Chen Feng and accepting her kindness to Chen Feng had nothing to do with their blood relations.h.i.+p at all. Chen Feng was nothing but a tool Qiao Zijin used to show off her power and make her feel miserable and pained.
Qiao Zijin was so sinister and shameless back then. Today, Qiao Dongliang said that she was so n.o.ble and he even used her to lecture herself. At this moment, regardless of whether it was Qiao Zijin or Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan couldn’t like either at all.
Pregnant women couldn’t be angered. Qiao Nan could tolerate some matters well before she was pregnant. However, after being pregnant with three children, Qiao Nan felt that if she didn’t say certain matters clearly, she would be hurting both herself and her children. “Dad, I always thought that you pretended to be mute and deaf in the past. It is only today that I know that sometimes, not only are your eyes and ears not working well, but you also have an evil heart. Qiao Zijin is next to you, right? Go and ask her what kind of mindset and thoughts she had when she brought Chen Feng back to the Qiao family and handed him over to me. After you have figured this out, come and discuss with me who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong between me and Qiao Zijin. Also, let me know if there are times that Qiao Zijin was really right.”
Qiao Nan felt helpless that Qiao Dongliang could interpret Qiao Zijin’s disgusting thoughts so positively. No wonder her dad was often tricked by Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. As the head of the family, he was really a fool. It turned out that her dad really didn’t know anything at all!
After saying this, Qiao Nan hung up the call directly.
Zhai Sheng wiped his hands. “You’ve already greeted him. Let me help you send the clothes back.” Zhai Sheng had predicted correctly that Qiao Nan would never accept Qiao Zijin’s things. Even if the things Qiao Zijin bought were appropriate, Qiao Nan wouldn’t accept them, let alone if they were inappropriate.
“Yes, Brother Zhai. Thanks for the hard work.” This big bag of clothes could only be sent back by Brother Zhai. “After hearing what my dad said today, such things should keep happening in the future. Initially, I didn’t agree with my dad spending one month’s money on the children and I thought of subsidizing them back. Since this is the case, I’ll be stronger in my att.i.tude. I’ll not accept my dad’s packages in the future. After once or twice, he should understand what I mean and give up on buying things for the three children.”
Indeed, it wasn’t easy to be a good person.
She wanted to subsidize her dad and make him a good grandfather. It was a pity that her dad always did things that added to her troubles and made her feel unhappy. If that was the case, they should make things clear between them. Her dad didn’t need to treat the three children well. If he could take good care of himself, he would be considered a very good grandfather already.
Whenever something happened to her dad, she would definitely have to worry about him. It wasn’t easy to take care of three children. If she had to be distracted and take care of her dad now, the time and energy spent on the three children would definitely be lesser. Only if her dad was well could she be better and take care of the three children wholeheartedly.
As such, if Qiao Dongliang could take care of himself and prevent himself from being in accidents or being injured, that was already the performance of a good grandfather.
“As long as you’re happy.” In terms of his att.i.tude toward the Qiao family, Zhai Sheng had always stood on Qiao Nan’s side. No matter what kind of decision Qiao Nan made, Zhai Sheng would always give his fullest support.
“Hard work? How is this hard work?!” Miao Jing didn’t agree that letting her son send a package back was tiring. “Nan Nan, you don’t have to worry about him. When he was in the army, he did more work than this. He has been resting so much after returning home that I’m starting to find him lazy. If you don’t let him do more things at home, I’m worried that after he returns to the army, he wouldn’t know how to train those soldiers anymore.”
In the Zhai family, the Zhai women were the most powerful. One was the woman his father loved the most, while the other was the woman he loved the most.
