Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1740: Just As Well

There was no point in staying together with a bunch of rascals. When Zhai Yu was around, she would always take care of his well-being.

Unfortunately, by the time the state relaxed its policies and implemented a two-child policy, his parents already had no intention of having another child. Otherwise, he might even have a younger sister to care for.

“Don’t worry, Sister Zhai Yu. I’ll take care of this. Which man is so blind? Hehehe...” Tian Haoran sneered darkly, giving others goose bumps.

Gao Feng downed a mouthful of beer. “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle it alone?” Zhai Yu was getting prettier by the day, and she resembled Auntie Qiao. If it was not for the few of them keeping their eyes on her, Zhai Yu would have long been abducted by those rascals. Humph. He was still a kid who had to ask his parents for pocket money, but he wanted to protect Sister Zhai Yu? Had he asked them for permission?

The three young people sitting there might look young and fresh, but they were all either third-generation rich heirs or from prominent families. In addition to their good family backgrounds, every single one of them had strived hard and had not grown up wayward. Moreover, they were all capable.

Typically, children who were still studying, even if they were in university, could never match up to the performance of Tian Haoran and his bunch of friends.

In the courtyard, many people had expected to see the Zhai family crumble. There was no use in giving birth to so many children. Even if one knew how to give birth to them, one had to know how to raise them well. Then, that would be truly impressive. In such a large capital, they had heard countless stories about children being raised wayward and becoming good-for-nothings in this very same courtyard.

It might have been good news that the Zhai family had triplets. But was it really that easy to raise and teach them well considering there were three children of the same age? If even one out of three was raised wayward, they might as well have chosen to raise only one and raise that one well instead.

In the end, everyone saw Qiao Nan’s friends seemingly coming to a tacit agreement and often dropping their kids off at the Zhai family. It seemed that these children spent more time with the Zhai family than their own families. All these onlookers were confused. Were the Zhu family and the Tian family only in charge of giving birth to their children? Were they not going to take care of their own children?

Did these people treat the Zhai family as a kindergarten and Qiao Nan as their children’s nanny? The Zhai family was already busy enough trying to take care of their own three children. Now that there were so many more children, were those parents really at ease leaving their children there? Were they not afraid that the Zhai family’s triplets would bully their children or lead them astray?

In normal families, some parents could not even raise just one child well, not to mention the Zhai family that had a house full of children. Other parents watched on with glee, waiting to see the parents of those children regret their decision of sending their children to Qiao Nan.

Time treated every man equally. In the blink of an eye, the Zhai family’s children were all grown up, and so were their own children. Their own children’s performances were actually quite good, but the problem was that they paled in comparison to the children of the Zhai family.

Of all the children who grew up in the Zhai family, not a single one of them grew up wayward. In fact, it seemed as though they had all been on steroids! Not only were they healthy, but they were also intelligent and outstanding in their performances.

Many people started to wonder whether it was the Zhai family’s education methods that were good, or whether these children were good in the first place due to their genes. Did the Zhai family and Qiao Nan have nothing to do with the children’s performances and growth?

Now that these children had grown up so well, all those people who had been waiting to watch some fun had a change in their mindsets. Now, their sons already had their own sons, and their daughters had their own daughters. If the Zhai family’s education was truly that good, would their grandchildren become as outstanding if they were to be sent to the Zhai family?

Qiao Nan was not young anymore. In another two years’ time, she should be retiring. Thus, some people quietly visited the Zhai family to discuss this matter with Miao Jing. They wondered if Qiao Nan could start a kindergarten after her retirement. They could really rest assured if their grandchildren were being taken care of by Qiao Nan.

Of course, Miao Jing did not even mention a thing about this to Qiao Nan and had refused all these ‘old’ neighbors right then and there. When they needed them, they said ‘we believe in the Zhai family’. But when they had no need for them, each of them crossed their arms, munched on melon seeds, and waited to see a good show to unfold in the Zhai family and just how wayward the children of the Zhai family would grow up to be.

There was no such good deal in the world.

It was true that Nan Nan could teach children well. She had already known about this a few decades earlier when Nan Nan was still in high school. Nan Nan knew how to take care of children and had made a name for herself in Ping Cheng long ago. In fact, many people were hoping that Nan Nan would go back to start a tuition class for them.

Someone had even said that the best results for the college entrance examination and middle school examination in Ping Cheng all had something to do with Nan Nan. The best results of the college entrance examination were naturally during Nan Nan’s year. As for the best results for the middle school examination, it had been the year that Nan Nan had been a tutor.

Had Nan Nan not become Old Lin’s disciple and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nan Nan would have flourished in the education industry with her ability.

Everyone else had thought that the Tian family and the Zhu family were being too bold and brave by sending their children over to the Zhai family. But Miao Jing understood that there was no way these people would not be so brave. They were simply ‘taking advantage’ of Nan Nan by doing so. Miao Jing was not at all surprised that these people in the capital had no idea about Nan Nan’s capabilities.

But Shi Qing was Nan Nan’s best friend, and Zhu Baoguo and Fang Fang had been Nan Nan’s classmates. As for Zhai Hua, there was no need to mention it. Had they not been close to Qiao Nan, they would never have known that Qiao Nan had such a glorious side to her. After coming to the capital, everyone had maintained their silence and had never once mentioned Nan Nan’s glorious past.

Miao Jing had not told Qiao Nan about all these for fear that Qiao Nan would get angry. But Zhu Yu and the other children knew all about it. Zhu Yu downed a can of beer. “Shouldn’t we find an opportunity to help Auntie Qiao move out of the courtyard? I don’t understand how the people in the courtyard can be so petty and narrow-minded. Won’t it be nice if everyone just minds their own business and stays in their own lanes? Why are there so many problems?”

Tian Haoran raised his eyebrow. Had they not been talking about Sister Zhai Yu? Why had the conversation suddenly changed to talking about his aunt? But that was just as well. “It’s not as though auntie doesn’t have any houses on hand. Why would we need to raise the matter if she wants to move?”

He knew that his grandparents were not in good health. Besides, his grandpa was somewhat old-fashioned. That house in the courtyard belonged to the Zhai family, after all. But if he were to move somewhere else, he would be staying in his daughter-in-law’s house. His grandpa would never agree to that. His aunt was always one to please her family. Knowing his grandpa’s temper, she had never thought of moving, much less mention it.action
