Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1810 - Resentment

Chapter 1810: Resentment

She was truly envious. She could not care less whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter as long as she had a grandchild. Now, she even dreamed of having a grandchild, but she dared not force Zhai Sheng for fear that Zhai Yaohui would come after her.
Zhai Yaohui’s face paled. Miao Miao had gone crazy because of her desire for a grandchild. He did not believe that Miao Miao would choose to leave him and get married to another man if she really had the chance. But these words hurt him. “Don’t worry. Your dreams of having a grandchild might be realized very soon.”
“You’re saying that that woman can still give birth even though she’s almost forty years old?” Miao Jing knew that she should not have so many demands on Zhai Sheng’s marriage partner. But a person’s greed was a bad habit that could not be gotten rid of so easily.
Upon hearing that Zhai Sheng’s target had an extraordinarily bad background, Miao Jing could not help but feel bad for Zhai Sheng because she felt that Zhai Sheng could marry someone with much better conditions. Now that Zhai Sheng had the intention to get remarried, Miao Jing could not help but want more so as to satisfy her own regrets.
“How would I know?” Zhai Yaohui looked at Miao Jing helplessly. “Zhai Sheng didn’t even tell me about how that lady looks, what kind of person she is, or what her family background is like. I’m his father, not his son. Does he need to tell me so much? We’ll only know the details when we meet her in person. I’ve decided to make a trip down to Qingshui Town.”
Zhai Sheng had only said that he had someone in mind but had not mentioned when he would bring this lady over to the capital to meet them. Thinking about his son, Zhai Sheng, Zhai Yaohui could only make such a compromise.
Since the mountain would not move, he would.
If his son was not going to come, then he would bring his wife to find his son. Then, they would be able to take a look at the lady whom their son had chosen at the ripe old age of forty-five at the same time. To be honest, Zhai Yaohui felt that this lady must have been quite capable. Both he and Miao Miao had already given up all hope, but there had suddenly been such a drastic turn.
It was not bad indeed.
Whoever was able to change his son’s mind about marriage was a female hero!
“All right, let’s take a trip back to Qingshui Town.” Anyway, she hated her life here in the quad. Everyone was always talking about their sons and grandchildren. She had a son too! And in no time, she would have a grandson or a granddaughter too. In the future, she would join in their conversations and even bring her grandchild over!
To Miao Jing, there was nothing more important than her son’s marriage. Now that the iron tree was finally blooming, Miao Jing could not wait to burn some incense in the temple as thanksgiving. But because the matter of her daughter-in-law had not yet been confirmed, she decided that it was more important to tie her daughter-in-law down now in case she got away.
After making their decision, the couple booked a ticket to Qingshui Town right away. There was no airport in Qingshui Town. As such, the couple had to transit in Ping Cheng before heading to Qingshui Town.
Similar to Zhai Sheng, Zhai Hua did not have a close relationship with her parents. But Zhai Hua could not possibly act as though she did not know that her parents had come from the capital. Thus, she drove to pick her parents up before sending them to the Zhai family’s small courtyard. “What’s the matter? Why are you guys here?”
Even though Zhai Sheng had been transferred to the capital, he stayed in the army daily. As such, her parents were left at home alone. But they had never expressed any desire to return. That was why Zhai Hua had been rather surprised when the elderly couple called to inform her that they were returning.
“Zhai Sheng is finally willing to get remarried. Your dad and I are back to take a look at Zhai Sheng’s marriage partner. If she’s all right, we’re not going to delay this any further. We’re going to let the two of them get married as soon as possible.” The two of them were not young anymore. Only by getting married early would they be able to have children as quickly as possible. Giving birth to children might not have been Miao Jing’s only requirement, but now that there was a chance of having a grandchild, she had to make some effort.
Zhai Hua, who was driving, was taken aback. “Are you serious?” Why did it seem like a joke that Zhai Sheng was willing to get married? “Do you know who Zhai Sheng is getting married to?”
“No,” Miao Jing answered honestly while shaking her head. “Zhai Sheng said nothing about that in his call. That’s why your dad and I had to rush back. But no matter what kind of person she is or what her family background is, your dad and I have no demands of her as long as she’s willing to marry your brother.”
“Oh.” Zhai Hua sneered. “If that’s the case, I shouldn’t have rushed to get married at that time. I should have taken a leaf out of Zhai Sheng’s book and waited until I became an old lady. Then, I would get the whole family’s blessings even if I were to get married to Wei De.”
She had found herself a marriage partner, but her family nearly turned their backs on her. All these years, she had gradually gotten more distant from her family and had swallowed the bitter life she had all because of the scene her family had made because of her marriage that year.
Every time something happened to Wei De, he would always bring up how the Zhai family looked down on him as a son-in-law. Even though he had strived hard all these years and had been promoted over the years, the Zhai family had still refused to acknowledge his existence.
It was Zhai Hua’s fault that she had not done her duty to improve the Zhai family’s image of him. Wei De was now in a much higher position than he had been in initially and had made his mark. But compared to the Zhai family, he was still miles apart. This was truly a sore point for Wei De.
Apart from his brother-in-law giving him a hand when he had first gotten married, neither his brother-in-law nor his father-in-law, Zhai Yaohui, had cared about him ever again. They had simply left him to his own devices and allowed him to climb the ranks based on his own abilities.
Without the Zhai family’s help, Wei De had struggled for a long time as a company commander before being promoted to a deputy battalion commander. He had wanted to be promoted to an actual battalion commander but had not had the opportunity. It would be impossible for him to be promoted from a battalion commander to a regiment commander without the Zhai family’s help.
The greater Wei De’s demands, the more dissatisfied he became with Zhai Hua. Zhai Hua was the only daughter of the Zhai family. He could not understand how Zhai Hua could be such a failure that she could not even win over the hearts of her parents and brother. If his parents-in-law were fond of their daughter, Zhai Hua, the Zhai family could very well regard him as a second Zhai Sheng and raise him as a second son.
Given his performance and with Zhai Sheng’s help, he would have become a regiment commander long ago, let alone a battalion commander.
Wei De was truly dissatisfied with Zhai Hua and had extravagant demands on the Zhai family. When they could not be satisfied, Wei De was filled with rage. Since he could not pour it out on the Zhai family, his targets naturally turned to Zhai Hua and their daughter, Jiajia.
