Chapter 2029: So It Shall Be

It felt good to spend her money. In other words, her money was not the Wei family’s money, so it did not matter if they spent it.

Zhai Hua always reciprocated others’ actions. Since that was what the Wei family did, she decided to seal her pockets too. She would pay for what was right, but there was no way they were going to waste her money.

In that way, ever since Jiajia grew up, Zhai Hua had never been able to bring her on a holiday before. It was just as well that Jiajia had just completed her middle school examination and was on a long break. Zhai Hua felt that this would be a good opportunity for her to bring her daughter on a relaxing vacation.

Hearing that Jiajia was going on a trip with Zhai Hua, Qiao Nan suggested. “Dad, Mom, why don’t you two go for a holiday too?” There was no point in the elderly couple staying at home alone.

Miao Jing waved her off. “That won’t be necessary. You young people can do it. Your dad and I are a bunch of old bones. There’s no need for us to go on a holiday.” Miao Jing had no interest in traveling. While she was younger, she had always been by Old Zhai’s side, flying around everywhere. That was why she had not been able to watch her children grow up.

Miao Jing had never had a real holiday anywhere but she had already been to most parts of this vast country. Perhaps it was because she had flown around too much in her youth that Miao Jing had no desire to do so again. Just the thought of getting on a vehicle exhausted Miao Jing.

“You don’t have to bother about your dad and me. Just think about where you two will be going.” The honeymoon baby was the most important thing to her.

“There’s no hurry. We still have some time tonight. It’ll be fine as long as we have a plan tomorrow.” Zhai Sheng was in no hurry and did not want Miao Jing to pressure Qiao Nan into coming up with an answer straightaway. Zhai Sheng patted Qiao Nan on the shoulder, wanting her to have some time to think about the matter.

Qiao Nan’s eyes twinkled. “Brother Zhai, why don’t we go back to the Zhai family’s old villa and spend a few days there? The scenery there is good, and so is the air quality.” More importantly, Qingshui Town was the place where she had met Zhai Sheng again for the first time. Qiao Nan thought that it was rather nice to have their honeymoon somewhere that they had decided to spend their lives together.

Zhai Sheng’s expression was gentle. “Do you really want to go back to Qingshui Town?” Zhai Sheng felt that Qingshui Town was a good place too. Otherwise, there was no way he would have met Qiao Nan in such a faraway place even after living in the same quad for a few decades. Zhai Sheng felt that they had made a great decision in rebuilding the Zhai family’s old villa.

If he were to be superstitious, his ancestors were probably protecting him.

“Yes.” Her dad had gone to the police station to pick Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi up today. There would probably be trouble once these two women returned. “Mom, Dad, why don’t you guys go there with us?” In that way, there would be no one at the Zhai family’s house. Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi knew only to come to the southern courtyard to look for them but there was nothing they could do if they could not get a hold of them.

Without waiting for Miao Jing’s reply, Zhai Yaohui agreed without hesitation. “That sounds good. Alright. I’ll get your mom to pack a few pieces of clothing for us. Tomorrow, the four of us will head down to Qingshui Town. Zhai Hua, take Jiajia on a nice holiday. Remember to be careful and not let Jiajia get injured.”

“Alright, Dad. Jiajia’s my daughter. Even if I get injured, I won’t let Jiajia get injured.” Zhai Hua thought that her dad was being unnecessarily naggy. Jiajia was not a three-year-old toddler, and neither was it her first day being a mom. How could she allow such a situation to happen?

Jiajia stuck by Zhai Hua’s side, sticking her tongue out. Was it not supposed to be her uncle and auntie going on a honeymoon? Why had it become her going to Sanya with her mom and her uncle and auntie bringing her grandparents back to Qingshui Town?

Although Miao Jing was reluctant, Zhai Yaohui had already made his decision in front of all their children. It would not be right for Miao Jing to go against Zhai Yaohui’s words at this time. But when the couple returned to their bedroom that night, Miao Jing could not help but ask, “Our son has finally gotten the chance to go on a honeymoon. Why should we tag along? Don’t you want a grandchild too?”

Zhai Yaohui rubbed his nose. The Zhai family rarely organized such events and it was rather tiring. “Why do you think that we’ll be in their way of giving us a grandchild if we follow them to Qingshui Town? Where did you get such a ridiculous idea from? When we first got married, wasn’t my dad living with us? Didn’t he go on our honeymoon with us too? But you gave birth to two children in the span of three years all the same and got Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua!”

“…” Miao Jing could not rebuke him after being used as an example. It was exactly as he had said. In the span of three years after getting married to Zhai Yaohui, she had given birth to Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua.

At that time, Qi Minlan had deliberately put her down in front of her friends. The only thing she had done that was worthy of praise was that she had given birth to a son and a daughter for Old Zhai in such a short span of time.

Qi Minlan had described Miao Jing as a birth-giving tool. Apart from giving birth to children, Miao Jing was not of use to the Zhai family.

All women would cry in anger after hearing such things being said about themselves. But now that Miao Jing was at such an age, she was already open-minded about all those things that she had not been able to accept in her youth. “I just think that it was not easy for Zhai Sheng to marry Qiao Nan. Shouldn’t we give them some space as a couple? You know that Zhai Sheng has to return to the military soon. What’s so bad about giving them some space for themselves?”

Miao Jing stopped short of saying one thing. Qiao Nan was Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was different from her. When she had gotten married to Zhai Yaohui, she had been in good health. That was why she could have given birth to two children in the span of three years. But Qiao Nan was already forty and her health was probably not as good as Miao Jing’s had been in the past. That was why they had to give the couple some space and time for themselves.

She was worried that Qiao Nan would get anxious and nervous if they were to tag along. She had studied about this. It was harder for women to get pregnant if they were in a bad mood.

Miao Jing had read many books in preparation for her grandchild’s arrival. When Zhai Sheng had announced that he would be getting married within three months, not only had Miao Jing read up books on how to promote pregnancy, but she had even read about how to take care of a pregnant woman’s body and how to raise children well with balanced nutrition after birth.

These books filled Zhai Yaohui’s study room. Miao Jing joked that she had never read as many books in her entire life as she had in this one year.

“That’s just what you think.” Zhai Yaohui lay down. “Qiao Nan’s a pretty good kid. She really treats this as her own family and has integrated well.”
