Chapter 923 Stay in Sister-In-Law’s Bedroom

In her previous life, at the time of her death, she was still single and lonely. In this life, she already had a fiancé although she was only twenty years old. At the thought of this, Qiao Nan was overwhelmed with disbelief.

When she was first reborn, due to what Chen Jun did to her before, she had thought that she would be unprepared to have a family of her own even if that was her wish. Each time she thought of Chen Jun, this malignant tumor, she felt so scared that she developed a phobia of males.

Previously, if Zhu Baoguo had not been in a vulnerable position and had almost been beaten to his death, given Qiao Nan’s state of mind at that point in time, she was really unwilling to go near to Zhu Baoguo. It was all because Zhu Baoguo was a male.

As long as it was a male, Qiao Nan felt repulsive toward them.

If not for this reason, Zhou Jun would certainly not be Zhai Sheng’s only rival-in-love.

Zhou Jun could receive Qiao Nan’s affirmation completely because of the soldier uniform that he wore!

Qiao Nan’s words ‘the outcome is good’ struck a chord in Miao Jing’s heart. That was because this phrase seemed to be describing her entire life. Regardless of the process of it, the outcome was good.

“It is already so late. Can you stay here for one night?” When she looked at the time, Miao Jing was quite worried for Qiao Nan. “Or should I get someone to send you back?”

“No need. I will stay here tonight.” Qiao Nan shook her head. Her mother-in-law needed someone to take care of her most today as it was the first day that the latter had been taken ill. She could not possibly leave. “Don’t worry about me. I have given a call to Shi Qing. She will bring my books directly to school tomorrow. There won’t be any problem.”

“But…” Miao Jing seemed to be in a difficult position. “You are also aware that we just came back, and Old Zhai found someone to tidy up this place in haste. Most probably, the other rooms are still quite dirty.”

The Zhai family had a number of family members. Hence, there were certainly enough bedrooms in this small courtyard.

However, vacant houses were always a little dirty.

The small courtyard of the Zhai family was different from that of the Lin family. Occasionally, there would be someone coming there to clean it up. However, it would only occur once a month. Hence, the small courtyard of the Zhai family was not as dirty as or difficult to clean as that of the Lin family.

However, if they did not clean it up, the bedroom would not be conducive to living.

“Mom, you don’t need to worry. I have already tidied up one of the rooms.” Qiao Nan blushed as she said in embarrassment.

There were five people, including Old Master Zhai, in the Zhai family, and four bedrooms in this house. Besides the Zhai Yaohui couple, the rest of the family would occupy one room each.

When they bought this property, the Zhai family did not know Qiao Nan at all. If Qiao Nan wanted to stay here, besides the Zhai Yaohui couple’s room, she could only pick one of the three remaining rooms.

At the sight of Qiao Nan blushing, Miao Jing laughed. “You have tidied up Zhai Sheng’s bedroom? Do you know which room belongs to Zhai Sheng?”

Qiao Nan took a deep breath as she tried to suppress her embarrassment. “I… I have tidied up two bedrooms-Brother Zhai’s and Sister Zhai Hua’s. They are quite clean now. I know that Brother Zhai will be coming to the capital soon, so I helped him tidy it up first. I… I will stay at Sister Zhai Hua’s bedroom.”

In fact, when Qiao Nan was prepared to stay behind and take care of Miao Jing, she had already thought about the issue of accommodation.

Qiao Nan’s initial reaction was to tidy up Zhai Sheng’s room. However, after thinking, she felt that it did not seem quite appropriate to stay in Zhai Sheng’s room so soon. She felt a little shameful about it.

After all, Zhai Sheng’s presence could be felt all over the room. There was even a photo of him on the table. The bed belonged to Zhai Sheng and the blanket had been used by him.

As she thought of this, she nearly hallucinated and felt that she could smell Zhai Sheng in the room despite it having been vacant for so long. At that moment, Qiao Nan felt even more embarrassed.

She then ran over to tidy up Zhai Hua’s bedroom before Miao Jing woke up.

Fortunately, the small courtyard of the Zhai family was much cleaner than that of the Lin family. Hence, it was not a problem to clean up two rooms.

As for the blankets, covers, and the others, Qiao Nan could tell that they had been aired in the sun before. They did not feel moist. There was also a faint tinge of detergent smell on them. Hence, she only needed to wipe the bed mat with hot water once and the few rooms in the house were ready for people to move in.

Miao Jing was surprised. “You have already finished tidying up two rooms while I was sleeping?”

Miao Jing was really surprised that Qiao Nan was so capable. Miao Jing could understand it if people of her generation were able to complete household chores efficiently as they had gone through the most difficult times in history.

However, most of the children from Qiao Nan’s generation led a comfortable life.

As the country developed rapidly, the situation of every household changed from starving to having food surplus. From the previous ‘honorable family of a soldier’ to the current family planning, although the household conditions had improved, there were fewer children in the family. As such, the children did not need to do any household chores at all. The parents could settle all the household work by themselves.

Miao Jing was not aware of other things but surviving well in the army. The two children in her family were not very good at completing household chores. At most, they were passable.

Qiao Nan’s capability and efficiency did not seem common in her generation at all. On the contrary, she seemed to be from the same generation as her.

After some time, Miao Jing grabbed Qiao Nan’s hands as her heart ached for Qiao Nan. “In the future…” If Zhai Sheng dared to treat Qiao Nan badly, she would definitely help Qiao Nan deal with Zhai Sheng.

Qiao Nan blinked. “In the future? What about the future?”

“Oh, nothing.” Miao Jing sniffed and patted Qiao Nan’s hands. “Nan Nan, perhaps all your good fortune will come in the later part of your life.” Nan Nan was who she was today because of the mother that she had.

It was not important that her initial life was difficult. Most importantly, there would be people who would dote on her well in the future.

“Mom, do you want to watch television for a while?” After she discovered that Miao Jing was in much better spirits, Qiao Nan dared not let her sleep more in case she suffered from insomnia tonight. “Watch some television. You can sleep again when it’s about eight o’clock.”

“That’s fine too.” Miao Miao nodded. Qiao Nan then held her as she walked to the living room to watch television. “I don’t know when your dad is coming back. Don’t need to bother about him. You can go to bed first.” Miao Jing already knew that Zhai Yaohui would certainly be different once he arrived in the capital.

When she was not following Zhai Yaohui, sometimes, when Zhai Yaohui was tied up, Miao Jing would already be in deep slumber when Zhai Yaohui returned home. When Zhai Yaohui left the house, Miao Jing had not even woken up.

In the end, if not for the fact that she saw traces of someone sleeping on the place beside her, Miao Jing dared not even be certain that Zhai Yaohui had come home.

“Alright, I know.” At the thought of Zhai Yaohui’s identity, Qiao Nan suddenly shivered. It then came to her mind that this father-in-law of hers was different from Chen Jun’s father. In her previous life, besides in television shows, she would not have an opportunity to meet this father-in-law at all.
