Chapter 2435 – What’s Wrong With Me as a Mother (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Who knew that raising a child cost so much money now? It was much more difficult than when their family was providing for a university student back then.
Furthermore, their family only provided for a university student. Qiao Nan had to raise three children at once.
The amount of money that had to be spent could scare one to their death.
As such, Ding Jiayi couldn’t help but rejoice that she was born at the right time. She didn’t choose to become a mother at such a perverted time.
If she were to raise children like Qiao Nan did, even if there was only one Qiao Zijin, based on her and Qiao Dongliang’s ability to earn money, they didn’t need to think about grooming her, let alone that they had two children.
However, Qiao Nan was the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. The Zhai family didn’t have to rely on Qiao Nan to fork out the money to provide for the children, right? Furthermore, didn’t Qiao Nan receive a huge sum of inheritance more than a year ago?
With this sum of inheritance, it should be easy for Qiao Nan to do things that she couldn’t.
That was true. Otherwise, how would Qiao Nan have the confidence to raise three children at once? She even looked as if she was very willing to spend a lot of money on them.
“Yes. They attended school together.”
Qiao Nan’s replies were simple. It was obvious she didn’t want to talk too much to Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi laughed. “It’s good that they attend school earlier. That way, they can have a stronger foundation than the children of other families and lead an easier life when in school later. Isn’t there a famous saying now that one’s children can’t lose at the starting line? Your dad likes your three children a lot, so you have to spend more time and effort grooming them. Don’t disappoint him.”
If the three children became outstanding, Old Qiao would definitely be very happy.
“…”
Qiao Nan was speechless for a while. She was the three children’s biological mother. She wasn’t a capricious mother like Ding Jiayi. She had given birth to all three children and she doted on and loved all of them. She would never favor one over the other and let them suffer unfair treatment.
Regardless of if it was for money or love, Qiao Nan would never treat her children harshly.
On the contrary, it was precisely because she had given birth to triplets that Qiao Nan would do all she could to make the three children grow up healthily in a family full of love and happiness.
She would make sure that all three children were loved. How would she let one or two children suffer material loss?
Relying on Zhu Chengqi, her godfather, Qiao Nan wasn’t lacking anything now. Naturally, she wasn’t lacking money the most.
Indeed, Ding Jiayi’s words sounded like she was caring about the three children. However, to Qiao Nan, she inevitably felt that they were sarcastic.
As a mother who had two daughters but didn’t educate them well, how was Ding Jiayi qualified to remind her about her stand?
Forget it. Talk was cheap.
Ding Jiayi couldn’t do it herself, yet she always wanted others to meet her high expectations.
Compared to Ding Jiayi’s other problems, this wasn’t really considered a problem anymore. “Don’t worry. My parents-in-law love the three children. They find them to be more valuable than their own son and daughter. What I do isn’t important. What’s important is that my parents-in-law are the kind of people who would definitely not make the three children suffer.”
Really, based on how much Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing valued the three children, even if Qiao Nan was really the second Ding Jiayi and had a chance to mistreat the three children, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would have long slapped her aside.
Thankfully, Qiao Nan was a good mother who loved her children.
Ever since Qiao Nan gave birth to the triplets, the atmosphere of the Zhai family had been getting better every day. The triplets grew up in such a happy family and were extremely blessed.
Ding Jiayi’s words seemed a little insincere and lacking concern. It was as if she was finding things to say because she didn’t have anything else to say, which was meaningless.
“Didn’t the three children return to Ping Cheng with you? I’m their grandmother, after all. Can you let me meet them?”
If she had a chance to see Old Qiao in the future, she could talk about the three children so that they had some common topics.
Qiao Dongliang had moved away for more than a year and a half now. No matter how stupid Ding Jiayi was, she knew clearly what could be said and not said in front of Qiao Dongliang. She knew what type of content would make Qiao Dongliang happy and which name she mentioned would make Qiao Dongliang fall out with her immediately.
The latter was undoubtedly Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi’s favorite daughter. The former was Qiao Nan and her three children.
People’s preferences were hard to change. Furthermore, Ding Jiayi’s level of hatred of Qiao Nan was so high.
She couldn’t talk to Qiao Dongliang about Qiao Zijin lest he became angry. However, if she talked about Qiao Nan, she would be angry herself.
After making a summary, Ding Jiayi realized that the triplets were the only safe topic between her and Qiao Dongliang. The others were just minefields.
In order to avoid harming each other, she hoped to use some topics to enhance their husband-wife relationship. Ding Jiayi’s best choice was naturally the three children.
Speaking of the three children, Ding Jiayi didn’t know their names, let alone their looks or what kind of temper they had.
The only thing she knew was that Qiao Nan was really more capable than her. Not only did she give birth to triplets, but it was even the combination of two sons and a daughter.
She had looked forward to giving birth to sons her whole life but didn’t manage to. However, Qiao Nan gave birth to two at one go.
Ding Jiayi pulled back her thoughts and no longer thought about sons.
Only if she knew more about the three children could there be more topics between her and Qiao Dongliang.
Otherwise, she would only be qualified to listen and not have the chance to interject at all.
“You want to see the triplets?” Qiao Nan looked at Ding Jiayi, guarded. “What’s the reason?”
Please don’t tell her that Ding Jiayi missed the three children. She wouldn’t believe a single word of it.
If Ding Jiayi really liked her children, as a normal grandmother, would she not have seen them before when they were already two years old?
Don’t think that the three children were only two years old. They knew how to address everyone but their maternal grandmother.
“Your dad loves the three children.”
Qiao Nan’s attitude was too obvious. Ding Jiayi had to suppress her excuse of loving and missing the three children.
She was afraid that if she really said this, Qiao Nan would be unhappy and unwilling to let the three children meet her.
As she was frightened, Ding Jiayi could only answer honestly that she was curious about the three children because of Qiao Dongliang’s influence..
