1404 Keeping a Watch on the Zhai Family

It must be because the children kept pestering her mother-in-law that she said those words to coax them.

After the meals, Qiao Nan held Xiao Bao in her arms as she made a phone call to the Tian family. Xiao Bao had a limited vocabulary. He would also jump from one topic to another. He had yet to finish the current sentence and he would go on to talk about other topics.

Although most of his sentences did not make sense, Mother Tian would turn soft-hearted when she chatted with him.

Mother Tian would be overjoyed whenever she chatted with her grandson. She would take a long time to end the call as she could not bear to part with her grandson. “Xiao Bao, I will recover very soon. By then, I will get your father to fetch you. Xiao Bao, I miss you terribly.” Mother Tian was almost in tears at her grandson’s baby voice.

It had been many days since she saw her grandson, and she could not hold her grandson who smelled nice and soft. Now that her grandson was not at home, Mother Tian felt scary staring at the house that she lived in. She was so lonely that she felt desolate. It was worse than her cold virus.

“Emm, grandma. Be good. Take medicine. Take injections. Get well soon. Go back a few days later. Accompany grandma.” Xiao Bao had a sweet tongue. Although he was sitting comfortably in his auntie’s embrace, he still remembered to coax his grandma. He talked to his grandma on the phone with his auntie’s help. While chatting on the phone, he would play with his auntie using his two hands. He was awfully busy.

Xiao Bao seemed to know that his grandma had not recovered yet and he would not go back home to accompany his grandma anytime soon. He could continue to stay with his auntie and play with his elder brothers and sister. Xiao Bao felt that he was blessed to lead such a life.

Mother Tian had no idea what was on Xiao Bao’s mind and turned softhearted at his baby voice. He even reminded her to be good and to take medicine and injections, hoping that she would recover as soon as possible. Mother Tian was so touched by his words of concern. “Alright, I will listen to Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao, I miss you terribly. I will recover as soon as possible so that I can play with you.”

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Mother Tian missed her grandson very much.

After saying what he wanted, Xiao Bao kissed the phone and ended the call without the slightest hesitation. He turned to snuggle into Qiao Nan’s embrace. “Auntie, wash cleanly and sleep with brothers and sister!” Xiao Bao felt that he was blessed to have his beloved auntie, his closest brothers, and sister with him.

Qiao Nan carried Xiao Bao with her. “Alright, let’s go upstairs to wash cleanly and go to sleep.” Actually, not only was Xiao Bao tired, but the triplets were sleepy as well. If not for the fact that Xiao Bao was sleepy, Mother Tian would have wanted to chat with him throughout the night.

Anyway, the Zhai family and the Tian family could afford the telephone bills. It was more important to have a good time chatting on the phone.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Perhaps the four children were exhausted from playing all day long, Qiao Nan had yet to finish one bedtime story but all of them, snuggled in bed, were fast asleep. Right then, someone knocked on the door. Qiao Nan opened the door to see her mother-in-law, Miao Jing. “Mom, did the Qiao family call you to ask anything of you?”

Qiao Zijin was getting married. The first and foremost problem would be the dowry.

In the previous life, even after the marriage, Qiao Zijin insisted on asking for more. In this life, since Qiao Nan was married well and Qiao Zijin had Qian Nan’s wedding as a reference, Qiao Zijin would become greedier and make more requests of her.

Qiao Zijin knew that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi did not have much money. No matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to get much money from them.

Therefore, Qiao Zijin turned to target Qiao Nan. Furthermore, Qiao Nan had been her target right from the start.

Qiao Zijin would not compromise easily in order to marry well.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was at the door, the first problem that Qiao Nan thought of was naturally Qiao Zijin. In fact, Qiao Nan would naturally associate all problems with Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin had to blame herself for being untrustworthy.

“No. This has nothing to do with the Qiao family. It is just that there seemed to be strangers who loitered around the entrance of the quad. They seemed to be up to no good. You have to work in the daytime. You must be careful when you go out. Remember. You must never go out or return home alone. If the chauffeur is busy, your dad and I have decided that we could hire another chauffeur.”

It was alright to spend money to hire another chauffeur. After all, they could always earn the money that was spent. Nothing was more important than their safety. If anything happened, one could never turn back time.

It had only been a few years since Zhai Sheng married Qiao Nan. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing did not wish for their son to become a widower or for the three smart grandchildren to be without their mother. That would be a pitiful sight.

“Are you saying that strangers loiter around but nobody did anything?” It was ridiculous that this could happen at the entrance of the quad in the military zone. This was the capital. How could the evil-doers be so brazen and bold?

“These people are quite a distance away from the entrance of the quad in the military zone, and they didn’t do anything that would put the quad in the military zone in danger. You must know that one has to commit crimes to be considered going against the law. No one would say anything if one did not do anything illegal.” If one did not do anything that would endanger other people but only loiter around at the entrance, the most that one could do was to give them a verbal warning.

However, they had already used that method but it was useless.

Qiao Nan nodded. “Alright, I will take note of this. Mom, don’t worry. They are only loitering around the entrance, but we should still pay more attention. When you bring the children out to take a walk under the sun, you should bring more people with you. If not, you can ask Dongzi for help.” The Zhai family did not have enough adults around, but it should not be the case for the Tian family.

It had been so many days. Since Mother Tian already missed her grandson terribly, Tian Dong must have missed his son as well.

She did not believe that he did not miss him!

If the father did not come to check on his son, Xiao Bao might become part of the Zhai family.

“Okay, I will talk to Dongzi tomorrow.” Miao Jing valued the safety of the children. She valued her three grandchildren as well as her maternal grandson. The four of them were very precious to her.

As soon as Qiao Nan went to work the next day, Miao Jing gave a call to Tian Dong, asking him for advice. “How can there be such a thing?” The quad in the military zone is an important place. Security should not be a problem since many important chiefs resided in that place.

If anything happened to the quad in the military zone, it would be a big issue for China. Notwithstanding suspicious characters, a mosquito could not even be allowed entry. Security should be very tight.
