Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2224 - It Was Still a Second Marriage At Best



Chapter 2224: It Was Still a Second Marriage At Best

Qiao Zijin thought about it. At least, she wouldn’t lose her own face if she wore it in Ping Cheng.

As such, Qiao Zijin put the cup down and leaned toward Qiao Dongliang. “Dad, where’s mine? It will be my new clothes for the new year. Take them out quickly. Seeing that the weather’s good recently, I should get Mom to help me wash them. You don’t know how dirty these clothes are when they’re out of the factory. They have to be washed first before they can be worn. Otherwise, you might get some skin disease.”

As she said this, Qiao Zijin took the initiative and reached out to flip the things over. Qiao Dongliang, who was by the side, pulled her hand. “There’re so many things here but there’s nothing for you.”

“Nothing for me? Why? Did Qiao Nan forget to buy something for me?” That was too overboard. No, if she was left out, she had to call Nan Nan and get her to compensate her. Since she was compensating her, the value of the clothes she bought must be higher than the ones here. Otherwise, she would be angry at Qiao Nan. “I’ll call Nan Nan and tell her she left out my share. How can she only leave me out?”

“You don’t have to make this call. Even if you do, Nan Nan wouldn’t pick it up. You’re her sister, not her daughter or her parents who raised her. If she’s willing to buy something for you, it’s because she thinks of you since the both of you have a good sibling relationship. If she didn’t prepare anything for you, then you should find the reason yourself. Think about your relationship with Nan Nan. Is it strange that she didn’t prepare any new year’s clothes for you?”

Qiao Dongliang didn’t understand. Based on how poor their sibling relationship was, how was Qiao Zijin so confident that Qiao Nan should rightfully prepare a new year’s gift for her as well? Didn’t she have any self-awareness at all?

It was just that when he thought of how Qiao Nan prepared an expensive outfit for Ding Jiayi in the end, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t help but pull the curves of his mouth down. Ding Jiayi had really accumulated blessings in her previous lifetimes to exchange them for such a wonderful daughter like Nan Nan. If it were someone else, who would be willing to acknowledge a mother like Old Ding? They would probably just hope to reincarnate again and change another mother.

“What’s strange about that? No matter what, I’m Qiao Nan’s only biological sister. Aside from you and Mom, I’m the person closest to her. If she doesn’t treat me well, who else will she treat well?” Qiao Zijin said righteously.

Qiao Dongliang’s lips twitched. “Then, since Nan Nan is your only sister, why didn’t I see you buy clothes for her before?” Why did it only work one way? If all the reasons in this world mentioned by Zijin were only beneficial for her, could they still be known as reasons?

Qiao Zijin wasn’t someone to admit defeat easily as well. “That’s different. In the past, Qiao Nan used to earn more money than me. I was someone who relied on my in-laws while she was self-reliant. Now, she has married well and I don’t even have a stable job. Isn’t it normal for her to buy something for me?”

“Zijin…” Upon seeing how Zijin was talking to Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi reminded Qiao Zijin to take note of her own attitude.

Qiao Dongliang laughed coldly. “Yes, whatever you say is correct. Whatever you say is logical and everyone else is wrong. Anyway, we have everyone’s things here but yours. If you want to call her, go ahead.”

He understood Zijin’s words. Nan Nan should be leaning toward her for everything. Everyone said that with justice on your side, you can go anywhere, but without it, you can’t take a step at all. He wasn’t literate and eloquent and couldn’t win against Zijin’s ‘big principles’. Since he couldn’t win against her, he preferred not to say anything.

The money was in Nan Nan’s pockets. Even if Zijin tried all means, she wouldn’t be able to influence Nan Nan. In the end, Zijin didn’t need to think about taking advantage of Nan Nan at all. After understanding this, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t be bothered to argue with Qiao Zijin. He continued to let her find her own sense of self-superiority.

“Old Qiao.” Those neighbors whom Qiao Dongliang had greeted before were all here. Upon seeing the pile of things in the Qiao family’s living room, their eyes shone. Wow, these things were a big deal. They should cost quite a lot of money, right? Nan Nan was still quite willing to spend so much money on things for them, huh?

“All of you are here? Each family can take one packet. These are all freshly-made specialty snacks from the capital. Take them home. Remember not to leave them around for too long. Freshly-made food has a short shelf life. Try them.” The things prepared for the neighbors were nicely packaged in boxes. The red boxes looked especially festive. They looked even more pleasing to the eye given that it was going to be the new year soon.

The neighbors held the packages in their hands. Yes, they were heavy. “Are they snacks from the capital? They’re even nicely wrapped and the aroma’s so fragrant. Nan Nan’s such a good child. We, as the uncles and aunties, have really benefited because of her. Oh, right. Remember to tell us the next time Nan Nan’s back. Also, has Nan Nan given birth?”

The ‘old girl’ from their quad was finally married and had even given birth.

“Yes!” Qiao Dongliang said with joy, “Triplets. Two sons and a daughter. All three of them are so good-looking, especially the youngest daughter. She looks just like Nan Nan when she was young. The elders in our family dote on them a lot.” Upon mentioning his three grandchildren, Qiao Dongliang was overjoyed. “It was their full-month celebration yesterday. They looked healthy and don’t seem to be premature children at all. A lot of people complimented that they were raised well.”

Of course, it was all thanks to Nan Nan.

The Zhai family finally waited until this year for a grandson to be born. They even had three grandchildren in one go. Nan Nan was the biggest hero in the Zhai family. After having these three children, he really no longer needed to worry about Nan Nan.

“Is that so? Are they that good-looking? Do you have photos?” Upon hearing that they were triplets, the old neighbors felt curious. In their quad, there were only twins at the very most. They didn’t even see twins of a different gender before. Now, there were triplets with different genders. Gosh. The old girl whom everyone in the quad used to gossip a lot about was actually the one who was the most blessed.

If they had known that not only did a woman who got married late in her forties like Qiao Nan could find a good son-in-law like Zhai Sheng but could even have triplets, how would they be willing to let their own daughters marry early?

“…” Upon hearing how everyone was praising Qiao Nan and how cute the three children were, Qiao Zijin was extremely jealous. She couldn’t help but mumble, “How good is it? She’s just married to a man who was married before.” It was both her and Chen Jun’s first marriage. That was called marrying well.

Ding Jiayi pushed Qiao Zijin and asked her to shut up.
