Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 843 - Zhai Hua Came Looking for Qiao Nan Too

Chapter 843 Zhai Hua Came Looking for Qiao Nan Too
Zhai Hua snorted. “Don’t be so nervous. I have no intention to have Wei De pick up the old master.”
As far as Wei De’s situation in the army was concerned, unless Old Master did not ask, he would either be angered by what Wei De had done and be sent to the hospital, or he would beat Wei De to a pulp such that the latter was sent to the hospital.
“Thankfully, you know your own limitations,” Zhai Sheng said with satisfaction. It was rare that the atmosphere was jovial in the house. She must not spoil the mood by bringing up Wei De.
Looking at the gloomy look on Zhai Hua’s face, Zhai Sheng swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue: Time was the best inspector. Time revealed a man’s heart.
However, seeing that Zhai Hua was troubled by Wei De’s problems, Zhai Sheng could not bear to nag at her further.
Miao Jing let out a long sigh. They had quarreled for days, but Wei De had yet to make a single call to pacify Hua Hua.
Some women needed time to calm down, but that tactic was unsuitable for the women in the Zhai family. Time would not help them calm down. Instead, the sparks would gradually fade!
True enough, Wei De did not really like Hua Hua. After being together for some time, he still did not know her temper.
Zhai Hua, who felt gloomy, went out early the next morning. Everyone in the Zhai family felt that she must have gone to look for Wei De. If this went on and she was always the first person to give in and look for him, there would only be two outcomes — Zhai Hua would eventually be under Wei De’s control or she would call off the relationship.
However, the Zhai family did not know that the person whom Zhai Hua looked for was not Wei De. In fact, the person was taken aback when she saw Zhai Hua. She widened her eyes in surprise, looking as if she was a frightened squirrel. “Sis… Sister Zhai Hua, what brings you here?”.
“Am I not allowed to be here or am I not welcome?” Zhai Hua pulled a long face and walked impolitely into the Qiao family’s residence.
Qiao Dongliang had already left for work. He had divorced Ding Jiayi and there was no need to divide their money and properties. No matter whether it should belong to her or not, Ding Jiayi had either spent all the money or she had already gotten her hands on them.
Qiao Dongliang was left with no possessions or property. What he had to do now was to preserve the status quo. As for Ding Jiayi, who was still hospitalized, she still had her elder daughter to look after her.
He had to support his daughter who was in college. If he did not work, no one would help him provide for her.
Therefore, when Zhai Hua reached the Qiao family’s residence, Qiao Nan was the only person at home. “Where’s Shi Qing? Didn’t she follow you around, refusing to leave your house? I heard that she is too close to you that Zhai Sheng is jealous. He finds her an eyesore.”
After entering the house, Zhai Hua scanned the house thoroughly.
The Qiao family’s residence was quite old. It had not been renovated, so it was not in good condition. The house had cemented floor, which was miles apart from the Zhai family’s residence.
However, those who had been to the Zhai family’s residence would not feel uncomfortable when they visited the Qiao family’s residence. The reason was simple. It had been kept very clean.
Those who entered the house would feel particularly comfortable in the clean environment.
There was a saying that even if something was small, it could still contain the essentials. This was an apt description of the Qiao family’s residence.
The house, though small and plain, exuded a warm and comfy feeling. Visitors would feel peaceful and at ease.
Compared with mansions that were as luxurious as the palace, the Qiao family’s residence gave off the comfy feeling of home.
It was no wonder that for the past three years, Zhai Sheng and her mother liked to visit the Qiao family’s residence and her father did not object to it. This place made people feel at ease. She sat down and could not help but relax.
Zhai Hua, who had been tensed for all sorts of reasons, relaxed and started to feel sleepy. She yawned and leaned on the bamboo mat on the floor of the living room, mumbling to Qiao Nan, “I am tired. Let me rest for five minutes.”
Zhai Hua drifted off to sleep right away. Her even breathing sound could be heard in the living room.
“…” Qiao Nan, who had yet to say another word, widened her eyes and stared at Zhai Hua, who had taken her spot on the bamboo mat and was fast asleep. Even though she said she would sleep for five minutes, she lay sprawled on the mat comfortably.
Qiao Nan clasped her forehead. What did Sister Zhai Hua mean by coming over here today?
Shi Qing, who leaned on the wall next door, tried to listen to what was going on, but she could not hear any more voices. She decided to climb over the wall to take a look. “Why is Sister Zhai Hua here? I didn’t hear any conversation between the two of you.”
“Why did you climb over the wall again?” Qiao Nan lectured Shi Qing. “Is everyone who has been through military training addicted to climbing over the wall? Look at you. Ever since you moved to the house next to mine, how many times did you come into my house through the front door?” What Qiao Nan could not accept was that Shi Peng did not seem to mind that his daughter had the habit of climbing over the walls.
Instead, in order for her to climb over the wall with ease, Shi Peng not only repaired the connecting wall for it to be sturdy and solid, but he also made an opening such that the protruding stone tiles would not make a tear in Shi Qing’s blouses or pants.
Initially, Qiao Nan was so exasperated that she felt like buying cement and stone tiles to fill up the opening.
The pair of father and daughter was too willful!
“Don’t take issue with this. We are so close with each other.” Shi Qing did not take Qiao Nan’s words to heart. She placed her hand on Qiao Nan’s shoulder and walked into the house. “Hey, Sister Zhai Hua of the Zhai family has her bed to sleep on, so why did she come to your house to sleep? Could it be that she is sent out of the house because of her relationship with Wei De? Could it be that she is here to plead with you to take her in? If so, things are getting interesting.”
“Don’t make matters worse without getting the facts right.” Qiao Nan slapped Shi Qing’s hand away. “It’s so warm. Upon arriving here, Sister Zhai Hua asked about your whereabouts. She feels that it is rare that you are not here. To her surprise, you came over five minutes later.”
Shi Qing lifted her chin. “I have been selected by Brother Zhai to protect you during the four years in college. It is nothing wrong for me to stick close to you.”
If she did not dirty her blouse when she ate the watermelon just now and needed to go back to change her blouse, she would have been at the Qiao family’s residence no matter what time Sister Zhai Hua arrived at the house.
“Alright, stop saying nonsense. Hurry, help me analyze the reason why Sister Zhai Hua is here.” No matter how Zhai Hua treated her, Qiao Nan was able to figure out her intention and to be mentally prepared. However, she could not tell what she meant by falling asleep at her house. She felt clueless and worried.
On the other hand, Shi Qing looked particularly relaxed. It could be that because this had nothing to do with her, so she did not feel burdened.
Qiao Nan always kept the house sparkling clean. Especially the area where they had their meals and watched television, Qiao Nan would use the cooling water from the well to wash two to three times. After which she would wipe them dry.
By the time the floor was dry, she would use the water from the well to wipe the bamboo mat several times before placing it on the floor.
Their house had the best ventilation among all the other houses.
If one was to sit down on the floor during the summer, it felt cool and comfortable. Therefore, Shi Qing would drop by the Qiao family’s residence whenever she was free. She felt that it was too troublesome to do it herself at home. She would rather enjoy the effort of others.
