Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Miao Jing flung her hands without care. “Don’t forget. You are someone who will be ‘taking in’ a husband. The dowry will be prepared by the Tian family. I don’t need to worry over that.”

The Zhai family had not yet reached out to the Tian family after knowing that they were back. Nevertheless, the Tian family had already contacted the Zhai family and expressed that they would like to have a meal together as everyone was former neighbors from the ‘old quad’.

Unfortunately, before the Zhai family could respond, the Tian family had to rush back to the capital after praying to their ancestors. An urgent matter seemed to have cropped up at their end. They left a message for the Zhai family, saying that the two families could have a meal cum gathering when the Zhai family moved to the capital.

Miao Jing smiled at the attitude of the Tian family. It seemed that she still had the chance to watch her daughter get married in this lifetime.

Zhai Hua snorted continuously. “Dongzi is the only child in the Tian family. That was just a joke as he was still young and ignorant at that time. If the Tian family can bear to let me take in their only son as our son-in-law, I promise that I will marry him immediately, whether I like him or not.”

Miao Jing brought up Dongzi to make a joke of Zhai Hua. Zhai Hua was willing to play along and even said such words.

This was because the mother-daughter pair knew that Dongzi couldn’t be taken in as a son-in-law.

Anyway, this was just a joke within the family. Zhai Hua had always been thick-skinned. She was willing to take it lying down and laugh over it. She would take on whatever moves Miao Jing made.

“The topic has strayed.” Qiao Nan reverted to the main issue. “Grandpa, this is not good, is it?”

There were so many items. It would have cost them a bomb.

Qiao Nan hardly received any money from her biological parents, yet she was going to take so many valuable items from outsiders. Qiao Nan dared not accept them as she felt guilty about it.

Old Master Zhai was also surprised by Zhu Chengqi’s generosity. After thinking, he spoke, “A typical person won’t have so much money to arrange so many items unless they did something that let the country down. However, the Zhu family is different, and Zhu Chengqi is a smart one. During the ten years of chaos, the Zhu family had hidden a lot of good stuff. It is not just the Zhu family. It is also the same for your master. They don’t lack money. Hence, it’s not a big deal.”

The list of items looked quite scary. Nevertheless, the Zhu family had such capability.

“But the Zhu family still has Zhu Baoguo.” Qiao Nan still could not bring herself to accept the items. “Zhu Baoguo will certainly need betrothal presents when he marries a wife in the future.”

To be realistic, she was not even considered a fictive kin, yet she could get so many dowries from the Zhu family.

If Zhu Baoguo’s future partner were to find out about this matter, what would she think of it? What if this woman were to kick up a fuss with the Zhu family because of this matter? She would feel so embarrassed.

“Nan Nan, Zhu Chengqi is the head of the Zhu family. The woman that Zhu Baoguo marries in the future has to be approved by Zhu Chengqi.” Zhao Yaohui asked Qiao Nan not to be overly worried.

The woman who could make Zhu Chenqi nod his head would certainly be a smart one. She would definitely not kick up a fuss with Zhu Chengqi or Zhu Baoguo because of such a small matter.

People who were so improvident to create a din for such a matter could forget about entering the Zhu family.

“Alright, it’s late. Let’s go and sleep. The date of the wedding banquet is arriving soon. Fortunately, this house is not small and we can accommodate all those items.” Old Master Zhai yawned.

The elderly members of other families could not sleep as they advanced in years.

It was not sure if Old Master Zhai was in high and good spirits due to many joyous events happening, but he was full of vigor and seemed to be getting younger and younger as days went by. That vitality of his was not any less than that of youngsters. He insisted to keep to the routine of sleeping and waking up early. His health was excellent.

Old Master Zhai stood up and made a rare comment. “Zhai Sheng, don’t torture people these two nights.”

At the sight of his granddaughter-in-law’s dark eye circles becoming increasingly obvious, this was the first time Old Master Zhai felt that his usually calm grandson was actually a young and immature lad. He had no boundaries in loving his granddaughter-in-law. His mature and stable character in the past seemed to have grown wings and flew away.

Of course, Old Master Zhai’s heart ached that his grandson was already over twenty years of age before he finally got to ‘hug’ his granddaughter-in-law. He was aware of Zhai Sheng’s ‘passion’ toward Qiao Nan.

However, his heart also ached for Qiao Nan, this granddaughter-in-law.

No matter how proud he was of his grandson, Old Master Zhai had not forgotten the age difference between his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law, who was twenty-six years and twenty-one years old respectively.

His granddaughter-in-law was still very young. She needed more care and protection.

If he were to continue to let his grandson have his way, Old Master Zhai was worried that his grandson’s ‘passion’ would scare his granddaughter-in-law away, and the two would not be able to collect their wedding certificate.

After throwing such embarrassing words, Old Master Zhai swayed back into his own room, leaving behind a group of juniors staring at one another, speechless.

Zhai Yaohui stood up calmly and held on to Miao Jing’s waist as they returned to their room.

Zhai Hua was so angry that she kept snorting like an old cow. She was thinking in private. If that young lad of the Tian family had not gone to the capital, she would definitely catch hold of ‘Lady Tian’ and become a pair with ‘her’.

Old Master Zhai yearned for a great-grandchild. He had already been through life and thick and thin with his old partner. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were also getting along very well in recent years. As for Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng, they were head over heels for each other. Zhai Hua was the only single one in the whole family now.

Facing these public displays of affection from her kin, Zhai Hua was so furious that she was scratching her lungs.

In the past, she had wanted to find a man as she wanted someone to dote on and love her like a princess. Now, Zhai Hua purely wanted to do away with singlehood. She wanted to work hard in finding a man to pair up with.

When Zhai Sheng brought Qiao Nan back to the bedroom and shut the door, Qiao Nan immediately jumped onto the bed after kicking kicked Zhai Sheng. “I am too embarrassed to face anyone…”

Zhai Sheng did not have much reaction. However, the speed at which he undressed did not slow down at all.

When Qiao Nan was still feeling annoyed, she had already been pressed down by Zhai Sheng. She glared at him. “Have you forgotten grandpa’s words?!”

Zhai Sheng was slowly undressing Qiao Nan as he spoke neither too quickly nor slowly, “I didn’t. I remember them very clearly. Also, I am conscientiously executing them. Old Master Zhai wishes for a grandchild.” If he did not ‘work hard’, would the old master have any ‘great-grandchild’ to carry?

Since he was a child, he listened to the old master most. In particular, he had to obey him for this kind of matter.

“Grandpa said that you are not allowed to torture me these few days.” Qiao Nan pushed her hands on Zhai Sheng’s chest, which was as hard as steel. However, her strength could not surpass that of Zhai Sheng. She could only allow Zhai Sheng to come closer and closer to her until their bodies were plastered together.

When Qiao Nan wrapped herself up so tightly, she could not stop Zhai Sheng. Now, she had been thoroughly undressed by Zhai Sheng. She couldn’t do anything.

When Zhai Sheng lowered his body and entered Qiao Nan, he overpowered all of Qiao Nan’s subsequent words.

It was only when Qiao Nan was feeling dizzy that she felt like crying but there were no tears.
