But afterward, the relationship between her parents warmed up, and it was then that Zhai Hua realized that there was another side to her parents.
Today, Zhai Sheng seemed to have met the right person, Qiao Nan, and his change had been just like her father’s at that time. Did that mean that the old master had been this way because her grandma had left too early?
Thinking about how the old master had been infuriated about how she had insisted on marrying Wei De even when he passed on, Zhai Hua felt incredibly upset.
Jiajia, I’ll bring you along to visit your great-grandpa tomorrow.

She had not been filial to the old master while he was still alive and had even angered him greatly. She wondered whether the old master would forgive her since she was even bringing her daughter to visit him now.

All right, Mom. Let’s go visit great-grandpa and great-grandma. When you miss them, I can always follow you here to pay them a visit. Ping Cheng isn’t that far from Qingshui Town, and the environment here is good too. We can spend our holidays here in the future.
As compared to Ping Cheng, she felt that Qingshui Town felt much more comfortable.
Seeing that her daughter truly liked it here, Zhai Hua nodded in agreement.

Sister Qiao, what’s up with you lately? I feel like you’ve been worried about something.
Xiao Zhao tried to ask Qiao Nan. In reality, when the two of them had been preparing dinner, Qiao Nan had gone into a trance and had remained silent for a long while. Xiao Zhao had already encountered such a situation several times.
Sister Qiao, are you too tired? If that’s the case, I could have prepared dinner myself. I think there should be no problem for me to whip up a meal on my own every once in a while. Besides, you’ve been by my side recently. I’m sure I’ve picked up some skills from you. Do you want to go back to your room and get some rest?

She did not dare to tire Sister Qiao out because that would be her fault if she were to do so.

No, I just have some things on my mind. It’s inevitable that I’m lost in thought sometimes.
Qiao Nan denied it. The new year was already over, and she had thought that she would be able to whip up a few meals for the Zhai family as a way of reminiscing the times in her dream for the last time. Besides, Wei De and Wei Wei’s matter had been weighing down on Qiao Nan’s mind.
She had been hesitating about where to start and break through. There was one more thing. This was a rather complicated and awkward matter. Who should she talk to about it first?

Do you really not need some rest? Sister Qiao, don’t hold on if you can’t. I can manage on my own.


How about this, Xiao Zhao? Since you said that you’ve learned a few things from me, I’ll let you handle today’s meal. I have something to take care of, and I need to go find Sister Zhai Hua.
After giving it some thought, Qiao Nan gritted her teeth and decided to start from Zhai Hua.
She was a woman too. As a woman, she did not wish for Zhai Hua to become the last person to find out about Wei De’s matter.

All right, hurry on and get some rest.
Xiao Zhao only wished for Qiao Nan to get some rest instead of always staying in the kitchen to tire herself out. As for whether Qiao Nan truly got some rest or went to handle her own affairs after leaving the kitchen, Xiao Zhao could not possibly question Qiao Nan about it.
After handing over her duties in the kitchen, Qiao Nan took off her apron and went out to find Zhai Hua. Qiao Nan was relieved to see Zhai Hua alone in the room without Jiajia. If Jiajia was there, she would have to find an excuse to chase Jiajia out of the room.
On the very night Wei De had left, Zhai Hua had simply moved into her daughter’s room. Zhai Hua thought that this would be an opportunity for her to get closer to her daughter and to understand her daughter’s real inner thoughts and feelings.

Sister Zhai Hua, where’s Jiajia?


Qiao Nan, you’re here. Come and have a seat. That cheeky monkey, Jiajia, has turned wild after meeting Zhai Sheng. I wonder if I gave birth to a fake daughter. She must have gone to find her uncle again.
It was only now that she found out that Jiajia took an interest in military boxing.

When they had been in the Wei family in the past, Mother Wei had never allowed such a thing. She thought that it was too ugly and unladylike for Jiajia to participate in such an activity. Now that they were in the Zhai family’s house and no longer under the influence of Mother Wei, Jiajia was finally able to show off her true nature. Zhai Hua did not think too much about it. She had been able to participate in whatever activities she enjoyed when she was younger, so why couldn’t her daughter do so?
Besides, it was better for girls to learn some martial arts skills. That way, she would not be so easily bullied when she was outside. In case Jiajia ever got into a fight with her husband in the future, she would not need to be worried about Jiajia being beaten up by her husband. In fact, Jiajia would even be able to beat some sense into her husband.
Zhai Hua had felt this strongly when she had managed to subdue Wei De when he had wanted to pull Jiajia away. At that time, she knew that she would have to let her daughter learn some martial arts skills. Otherwise, she would be easily taken advantage of. There were too few men who would keep to their word of not touching a single strand of her daughter’s hair.
Wei De had made countless promises to her before marriage, but in the end, the couple had always used their physical force to ‘talk’ to each other and solve their problems.
Upon hearing that Jiajia had gone to find Zhai Sheng to learn some martial arts skills and would not be back for a long time, Qiao Nan was a little more relaxed.
Sister Zhai Hua, you might think I’m being a busybody, but I think I have to talk to you about some things. I think it’s best that I talk to you about this matter first. You might not be able to keep your cool and calm, but I think it won’t be fair to you if I talk to you about this matter only after I’ve told everyone else.

Zhai Hua’s smiling face changed.
What’s the matter? Is it that serious?

She had never seen Qiao Nan in the quad in the past, and this was her first time interacting with Qiao Nan. If Zhai Hua were to describe herself as someone as hard as a rock, then Qiao Nan was truly as gentle as water. But now that Qiao Nan was being so serious and solemn, there was no way Zhai Hua could not be serious either.
The more serious Qiao Nan acted, the more Zhai Hua believed that what Qiao Nan was about to tell her was the truth.
Tell me about it. Does it have anything to do with me? I’ve seen you in a trance these few days. Is it because of this matter? If that’s the case, you should have come to look for me earlier.

Qiao Nan laughed bitterly. She had wanted to look for Sister Zhai Hua earlier too so that Sister Zhai Hua would not continue to be cheated by that bastrd. But how was she supposed to talk about it?
Firstly, she had no evidence on hand. Secondly, she herself had been rather doubtful about her dream.
She could not possibly rush over to Sister Zhai Hua, telling her that she had dreamed about the relationship between Wei Wei and Wei De. That meant that Sister Zhai Hua had been blind and had married the wrong person ten years ago. If she were to say that, even if Sister Zhai Hua did not punch her because it was the new year, she might very well be sent to the mental hospital.

Sister Zhai Hua, this is just my suspicion. I’m not sure if I’m being too sensitive, but it’s been very uncomfortable trying to hold it all in. I think that you can discuss this with Brother Zhai and decide on how to handle this matter.
