Chapter 1899: You’ll Understand When You’re Older

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was just to give their children a complete family since their children did not want them to separate.

For almost all women, children were their weakness.

Wei De was smart and did not need to even understand this common phenomenon. All he had to do was have a little understanding of Zhai Hua. Then, he would target Jiajia and use Jiajia so that Zhai Hua would not proceed with the divorce.

“If I wasn’t mistaken, I heard that the Wei family came over and said that Jiajia was missing, right?”

“Yes,” Zhai Hua replied indifferently. The Wei family’s concern and anxiousness were too fake and unbearable.

“As a mother, the one thing you thought about when you first entered the police station was about Jiajia’s whereabouts. If it were you, the Zhai family would have mobilized all its resources yesterday and would have flipped Ping Cheng upside down just to find Jiajia. Think about what the Zhai family would do and then think about how the Wei family only thought about Jiajia today. Why do you think the Wei family suddenly thought about Jiajia?”

Qiao Nan’s question was so realistic that Jiajia’s eyes turned red. After hearing Qiao Nan’s question, even a child like Jiajia understood that Wei De refused to get a divorce from Zhai Hua. That was why he had suddenly thought of his daughter, Jiajia, in such a situation, thinking that she would serve him some purpose. That was also why he had been in such a hurry to find her.

Jiajia knew that Wei De’s concern toward her now was not out of pure love. Her father was merely treating her as a means to an end of saving his marriage with her mother.

“Don’t underestimate the Wei family’s ability to pester people. Once the Wei family is left with nowhere to go, and since they aren’t willing to let you go, Jiajia will become their target. The Wei family is related to Jiajia, so the school won’t have any right to stop them from picking Jiajia up. If that is really the case, the school might not be able to give Jiajia a peaceful and quiet learning environment even if they were to find out about her family background despite the Wei family not taking Jiajia away and the Zhai family protecting her well. Children may not always mean what they say, but it is exactly because of that that their words are even more so hurtful.”

After saying all that, Qiao Nan could not help but sigh.

She was not saying that Zhai Hua and the Zhai family were not thinking about Jiajia. In her dream, she had lived with the family for over ten years and knew the Zhai family’s characters. It was already not easy that the Zhai family still had such a pure and kind side to them in the military and society.

They were truly good to Jiajia and had Jiajia’s wellbeing at heart. In Zhai Hua’s eyes, Jiajia was the Wei family’s granddaughter, after all. Even though the Wei family did not treat Jiajia as well as they treated Wei Wei, they would probably not harm Jiajia either.

Yes, the Wei family would not deliberately harm Jiajia. But they might very well hurt Jiajia in the process while trying to achieve their own goals. The Wei family would never consider Jiajia while trying to protect their own interests.

“Mom, since there are still a few days before the school term starts, let’s go get the transfer procedures done.” Thankfully, Jiajia had been decisive enough, and the moment Qiao Nan said such things, Jiajia immediately made a decision. “Mom, I want to transfer to Ping Cheng Junior High School. Ping Cheng High School is quite a good school, and I’d like to attend Ping Cheng High School. It’s even better if I go to the affiliated junior high school.”

When Zhai Hua had first purchased her house, she had already thought about the quality of education at Ping Cheng Elementary School and Ping Cheng High School. But there were no houses she could purchase near those schools. Besides, Zhai Hua was the only one paying for the house. When she had purchased the first house, she had chosen the location considering its distance from Wei Wei’s kindergarten. But when Jiajia grew up, there were no schools nearby that had a reputation like Ping Cheng High School.

Ping Cheng Junior High School did not have any boarding facilities. As such, it was a little troublesome for Jiajia to attend that school. But high school was different. Boarding was required in high school. That would be much more convenient. Jiajia’s initial intention was to attend Ping Cheng High School when she got to high school. But with an opportunity like that, Jiajia decided that it was better if she attended her dream school even earlier.

Zhai Hua hesitated for a moment. “Do you really not want to go to The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China?” Its reputation was better than Ping Cheng High School’s, after all. Initially, Wei De had spared no effort in trying to get Wei Wei into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China because his grades had not made the cut. Thus, they had to rely on their relations and money to get him in. In fact, Zhai Hua had always known that Wei Wei had only gotten into the school due to Wei De’s efforts. Wei De had been the one who had sacrificed his reputation.

The Wei family had spent a lot of money to allow Wei Wei to attend The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. As such, finances had been tight for the Wei family for a long time. During that time, the Wei family had relied on Zhai Hua’s allowance to get by. But the school fees of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China were high. The sum of money donated to get Wei Wei in was in no way sufficient.

On the surface, Zhai Hua had to raise her daughter and was not willing to support Wei Wei. But in reality, if it was not for Zhai Hua supporting the Wei family, paying for their expenses, and even giving the elderly Wei couple three thousand yuan a month, Wei Wei would never have been able to attend The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.

In short, Zhai Hua had been the one paying for Wei Wei’s education.

Zhai Hua had helped someone else’s son study in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. As such, there was no need to neglect her daughter and force her to attend a school that was less than The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.

“No way.” Jiajia’s expression soured and she refused decisively.

Zhai Hua sighed and her helplessness could be seen on her face. “You don’t have to worry. Once you get into The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, Wei Wei would have graduated and gone to university. You won’t be in the same school.” Wei Wei had transferred over from a village school and had thus started elementary school a little later. But Jiajia was different and had started elementary school early.

As such, although there was an age difference of six years between the two of them, they were only three grades apart in school. Jiajia was like her studious uncle, Zhai Sheng, after all, and had skipped a grade in elementary school. If not for the Wei family finding an excuse to say that it was better to solidify her foundations and that there was no need to deprive Jiajia of a happy childhood, Jiajia would have been able to skip another grade in elementary school.

When she was younger, Jiajia had thought that her grandma’s family meant well for her. But now, Jiajia realized that if she was only two grades away from Wei Wei, if both she and Wei Wei were to enter The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and the family was unable to carry that burden, her paternal grandma’s family was afraid that her mom would choose to give up on her nephew, Wei Wei, to support her own daughter. Her mom paid for the family’s expenses, after all.
