Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1425 The In-Laws were Different from One’s Parents

But everything was disrupted today.

The daughter that she disliked the most became a diplomat and went on the state-owned television channel. For a moment, Ding Jiayi felt a mixture of emotions. She could not really tell how she felt toward this daughter. She could not deny that Qiao Nan was outstanding. She could not insist that the elder daughter would be more promising than the younger daughter. She could not bring herself to say such foolish words.

It was impossible that Zijin could find better in-laws than the wretched girl. In terms of capability, the wretched girl was from Peking University, while Zijin was a diploma studies graduate. The wretched girl was one of the few female diplomats while Zijin had to rely on the Zhai family to get a decent job for her.

No matter how she looked at it, it was impossible for Zijin to be better than the wretched girl in this life.

Qiao Nan might be outstanding, but she was not the child that she favored. Everyone in the quad knew that she had a bad relationship with Qiao Nan. Although people asked this question in the past purely to ridicule her, today, they were serious about knowing the answer. But Ding Jiayi did not wish to answer them.

What food did Qiao Nan have?

Qiao Nan would have the same food as her. In fact, Qiao Zijin had better food than Qiao Nan!

If one could become a diplomat through the food one ate, Zijin should have gotten a job in the government.

Forget it. She did not wish to think about these questions. She would be in a bad mood if she thought about them.

“Alright, although it is summer, and eight or nine o’clock is still considered as early, we have the habit of retiring early for the night. If there’s nothing else, please go back. By the way, you have asked a funny question. What food could I possibly give her? She had the usual food that you used to have. She did not have any special food. Alright, go back now. We’re going to sleep.” Ding Jiayi really did not wish to hear Qiao Nan’s name again.

Qiao Zijin, who trailed behind Ding Jiayi, was silent all the while. She felt like blending into the background.

Since Ding Jiayi was in a hurry to send them away, the neighbors would not be so obtuse to insist on staying. Although they knew that Ding Jiayi did not get along well with Qiao Nan, they were mother and daughter after all. If Qiao Nan turned softhearted, she might be filial to Ding Jiayi. They would be asking for trouble if they offended Ding Jiayi.

They did not care if the mother and daughter would patch up, it was better not to offend other people. action

Since Ding Jiayi could not wait for them to leave, the neighbors who were there to congratulate Ding Jiayi left abidingly. They also asked if Ding Jiayi was free tomorrow, saying that they would have a chat with her tomorrow. If there was a chance, they would prefer to get to know Qiao Nan. If their grandchildren could learn from Qiao Nan, it would be the best arrangement.

Everyone in the quad knew that when Qiao Nan was in high school, she used to hold tuition classes in the quad near Ping Cheng High School. Every student who had been to the classes either went to a good high school or a good college. After Qiao Nan left, those students who went to a good high school also managed to get into decent colleges.

That was why many people hoped that Qiao Nan could continue to give tuition in Ping Cheng after she graduated from college. Qiao Nan had a good reputation of helping her students excel. If she decided to become a tutor, many people would spend lots of money to send their children to Qiao Nan’s tuition classes.

The money would be well-spent.

Unfortunately, Qiao Nan did not want to be a big boss. Instead, she chose to be a female diplomat which was even more awesome. The people in the quad felt extremely proud of Qiao Nan, and some of them were so excited at her accomplishments that it took them a long while to calm down. Qiao Nan was from the northern quad. Finally, there was a child from the northern quad who was more outstanding than the children from the southern quad.

As children and residents from the northern quad, they could finally hold their heads high when they saw the people from the southern quad.

Everyone from the northern quad felt proud of Qiao Nan’s achievements. They could not describe the emotions that they felt.

The people from the northern quad had finally left. Ding Jiayi felt disheartened and weary after sending them away. She closed the door and called for Qiao Zijin. “Zijin, it’s late. Do you want to watch television, or do you want to wash and sleep?” She was exhausted. She felt like slumping down on the bed.

Qiao Zijin trailed after Ding Jiayi, staring blankly at the black screen of the television which had been switched off. All she could think of was the images of Qiao Nan with her delicate and fine features on the television. She and Qiao Nan had the same parents. She was her elder sister and they grew up together.

Since they had the same parents, why was it that she and Qiao Nan were worlds apart?

“What’s the matter? Why did you remain silent? If you want to watch television, you should at least turn it on. Right, have you and Xiao Zhou come to a decision regarding the wedding? You should be realistic. Don’t think too much. Let’s not talk about your relationship with Qiao Nan. As the younger sister, it will certainly be nice of her if she is willing to help you prepare your dowry. If not, there’s nothing you can do either. It’s already August. You will be holding your wedding banquet in two months. I understand that you want a grand wedding. But it will be worse if you end up with nothing.”

Zijin’s situation was different from Qiao Nan’s. Zhai Sheng really loved Qiao Nan. He did not mind that Qiao Nan had nothing with her. Zijin’s boyfriend agreed to marry Zijin on account of the Zhai family.The Zhai family accepted Qiao Nan as their daughter-in-law unconditionally. If Zijin did not handle the situation well, and something went wrong during the wedding banquet, the other party might not be forgiving toward Zijin. “I might sound harsh, but loyal advice jars on the ears. I have your best interests. I will say no more. You should consider carefully.”

No matter what she said, it was up to Zijin to decide what she wanted to do in the end.

She had no hopes that Qiao Nan would fork out a large sum of money to prepare Qiao Zijin’s dowry. It was considered good enough if Qiao Nan bought a big color television for Zijin.

Ding Jiayi knew that when Qiao Nan got married, Zijin did not prepare any monetary gifts or dowry for her. Qiao Nan got married to Zhai Sheng without taking anything from the Qiao family.

Qiao Nan did not take a penny from the Qiao family, but she was asked to keep on contributing to the Qiao family. No one would blame Qiao Nan if she refused to do so.

One had to have a willing heart to be treated unfairly but continue to be dedicated wholeheartedly!

Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Nan was unwilling to help Qiao Zijin. Ding Jiayi could not help but be worried for her. “Xiao Zhou knows about our family’s situation. There is no need for us to puff oneself up at one’s own cost. In the end, one would suffer further embarrassment.”

“So, are you telling me to marry into the Zhou family with my tail between my legs, looking like a disowned dog?”
