Thinking back to that incident now, Miao Jing thought that her actions had been laughable.
Qi Minlan was their future daughter-in-law. What was wrong with Auntie not believing her? Otherwise, why would they be a family?
But that didn’t matter. She had no intention of saying anything, much less of fighting with Qi Minlan.
Grandma Zhai was only reluctant to let her go because Miao Jing had spent time with Grandma Zhai over the past year, relieving her loneliness.
Although Old Zhai claimed that he was retired, he was still very busy.
Old Zhai had no time to accompany Grandma Zhai, much less Zhai Yaohui.
It was only because of Miao Jing that Grandma Zhai was no longer as bored. When they had nothing else to do, both of them would sit together, have a chat, watch television, or discuss some problems. That was how they managed to pass their time.
That was why Grandma Zhai didn’t want Miao Jing to leave.
If Miao Miao moved away, she would be the only one left in this huge house.
At the thought of a life like that, Grandma Zhai thought that it would be better for her to move out along with Miao Jing.
“But the workers’ dormitory will be cramped with so many people in a room. It can’t be as good as staying at home. Is your factory nearby? If it is, you should just stay at home. If it’s far, I’ll just ask your Uncle Zhai to get you a bicycle. If you don’t know how to ride a bicycle, I’ll get your Brother Zhai to teach you.”
No matter what, Grandma Zhai wanted Miao Jing to stay, whether it was for her husband, for her son, or for her sake.
Miao Jing refused. “It’s not that cramped. I’ve taken a look at it. It’s actually quite good. You don’t have to worry about me, Auntie. Uncle Zhai knows the living conditions I lived in before moving to your house. Compared to that, the workers’ dormitory is much better and much cleaner. The walls are white and clean, and there are bunks. I’ve never even slept in bunks before.”
At the mention of the workers’ dormitory, Miao Jing’s tone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Miao Jing was truly delighted to be moving into the dormitory and earning her own keep.
It was exactly because of that that Grandma Zhai was upset.
She knew just how determined Miao Jing was about moving into the workers’ dormitory, and how Miao Jing would never change her mind no matter how much she tried to persuade her.
After packing her things, Miao Jing smiled and comforted Grandma Zhai. “Auntie, thank you for taking care of me for the past year. Without your help, I’d never have gotten to where I am today. In the future, I’ll definitely repay all of you. I’ll visit you and Uncle when I have a break.”
It was just as well. Once she moved to the dormitory, she would be able to avoid Zhai Yaohui.
It was true. If she were Zhai Yaohui’s fiancée and knew that her fiancé was living with another young lady of marriageable age, she would be upset and uneasy too.
Understanding that, Miao Jing left in a relaxed state and headed to the workers’ dormitory with her belongings.
Just as she was leaving, Miao Jing bumped into Qi Minlan.
Seeing the beautiful city dweller, Qi Minlan, Miao Jing took a deep breath and put on a smile.
That was right. That was the kind of girl who was suitable for Zhai Yaohui, unlike her. When she stood by Zhai Yaohui’s side, they didn’t even look like they had ever lived together.
“You’re…” Qi Minlan naturally recognized Miao Jing. Seeing the bag in Miao Jing’s hands, she wrapped her arms around her chest. “What’s going on?”
Qi Minlan had already guessed the situation and her lips were already curled up, and yet, she insisted on asking that question. Miao Jing was upset but replied righteously, “I’m moving out of the Zhai family’s house.”
“Oh?” Hadn’t she insisted that she wouldn’t move out? Why was she suddenly willing to do so? Was it just a show? “Why are you suddenly willing to move?”
“The Zhai family’s house isn’t my house. It isn’t strange for me to move out.”
“Is that so? It isn’t your house, but you still lived there for more than a year. Why have you suddenly become so self-aware? Don’t tell me you were chased out by the Zhai family?”
“No.” But that wasn’t far from the truth. She had already been chased away by the Zhai family’s future daughter-in-law. If she really waited until Uncle Zhai or Auntie Zhai chased her away, then she would be too shameless.
She had better take the initiative to move away before that happened.
Qi Minlan gave it some thought. If the Zhai family truly wanted to chase this countryside girl away, they wouldn’t have allowed her to stay there for a year. “Are you leaving for a month or a year? Don’t come back after just a few days! That’ll be truly annoying!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t,” Miao Jing replied sincerely. “I’ve found a job. I’ve got a place in the workers’ dormitory in the factory and can make ends meet for myself. I feel quite bad for disturbing the Zhai family for such a long time. I won’t disturb your family in the future.”
Our family?
Qi Minlan looked strangely at Miao Jing and tested her cautiously. “It seems like it isn’t just me. Have those in the Zhai family started to dislike you as well?”
Miao Jing shook her head. She knew that Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui didn’t dislike her. It was just that they trusted and liked Qi Minlan more. “Alright, I’m leaving. Don’t worry. Apart from coming back to visit Uncle and Auntie Zhai occasionally, I’ll only appear to give you a red packet when you get married to Zhai Yaohui.”
Since Qi Minlan didn’t want to see her, she wouldn’t make things difficult for everyone.
Her departure would be a win-win situation for everyone.
Seeing that her most hated enemy was leaving just like that, Qi Minlan was overjoyed to the point that she couldn’t regain her senses. “Are you serious?”
Could it be that Zhai Yaohui had chased this countryside girl away for her?
Yes, that was completely possible!
She had heard that this countryside girl’s father had saved Uncle Zhai and was Uncle Zhai’s benefactor.
A year ago, Uncle Zhai had specially gone to the village to pick Miao Jing up and had been supporting her ever since.
That was why Uncle Zhai probably had the most feelings for Miao Jing in the entire Zhai family.
When she had cornered Miao Jing, Uncle Zhai had retaliated by dealing her dad a huge blow.
Initially, she had been rather worried that this incident would cause everyone in the Zhai family to have a bad opinion of her. But it turned out that Miao Jing had only gained the favor of Uncle Zhai alone. Auntie Zhai and Zhai Yaohui still liked her the most!
She had already said that she had grown up with Zhai Yaohui and that Auntie Zhai treated her like a daughter. There was no way she would lose out to Miao Jing, who came from the countryside!
