Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Zijin was confounded and Ding Jiayi was in a rage, demanding that the landlord tell her where Qiao Nan had moved to. Otherwise, the landlord had better find Qiao Nan herself and bring her before them. After that, it would be between the Qiao family. She would not leave if the landlord did not fulfill her demands.

Seeing Ding Jiayi playing rogue, the landlord spat at Ding Jiayi before whipping out her phone and dialing a certain number. “Hello, is this the police station?”

It was only when they realized that the landlord had really called the police that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were finally willing to back down. After reluctantly wiping the door clean, they finally left.

The mother-and-daughter pair had spent half a day on this return trip. However, even after slogging away, they had not managed to find Qiao Nan. In fact, they had not even gained anything from this trip. They had finally gotten news of Qiao Nan after such a long time, but it had turned out to be useless.

“Mom, let’s keep this between the two of us. I’ll just let Sister Qiao know of it, but let’s not interfere in anything else.” This was truly an eye-opening experience for Xiao Xu. He had finally realized how terrible a family Qiao Nan had. He understood why Qiao Nan had never wanted to mention her family.

If anyone else were in her place, they would simply have taken it as though they had no family.

“Don’t worry. At my age, I’ve eaten more salt than you have rice. Do you need to teach me how to act?” The landlord rolled her eyes at her son. “I’m asking you to let Xiao Qiao know about this. From the looks of it, that mother-daughter pair probably encountered some problems and is urgently looking for Xiao Qiao to solve it. Xiao Qiao’s temper is too good when facing people like them. If they are reluctant to give up and insist on coming again, we have to let Xiao Qiao know. What do you think your chief is trying to do?”

If Xiao Qiao was going to get married, these people should know to restrain themselves, right? Was the chief’s family so easily bullied?

“Aiyo. Don’t you worry about this, Mom.” How could he tell his mom that there was no one in more hurry than his chief? Even so, his chief could not do anything since Sister Qiao was in no hurry. Saying something like that would damage his chief’s reputation. As his chief’s man, he naturally stuck by maintaining his chief’s image, preventing ‘others’ from learning about how his chief was already whipped even before marriage.

Upon hearing her son’s words, the landlord remained silent. If even the parties concerned in the marriage were in no hurry, there was no point in outsiders trying to rush them. After what she had witnessed today, she simply felt that it would be better that they took the opportunity to get married earlier rather than later since it was a question of whether they would even be able to get married in the future.

The landlord had already known that there would be trouble along the way if Qiao Nan were to get married to Zhai Sheng, but these troubles were even more complex than she had expected.

The moment Zhai Hua had successfully divorced Wei De, the atmosphere in the Zhai family lightened significantly. Even though she knew of this result, Jiajia was always smiling. This result clearly did not affect her too much.

As long as there was nothing wrong with Jiajia, the adults were naturally at ease.

Since Wei De was no longer a problem, Miao Jing started harping on past matters. “Old Zhai, when are we going to Qingshui Town?” She was afraid that Zhai Sheng would not try hard enough if she was not around and that getting her daughter-in-law would have to wait until next year.

“We’re not going.” Zhai Yaohui, who was reading the newspaper, answered indifferently. “Didn’t Zhai Sheng ask us to prepare for the wedding reception in advance? It’s only been two months since he submitted his military order. Weren’t you the one who was so excited and had refused to allow others to pack the candy, wanting to do it yourself? If you go to Qingshui Town, are you going to leave Jiajia to do it alone?”

Zhai Yaohui knew that this might be Zhai Sheng’s second marriage, but in Zhai Sheng’s heart, his marriage to Qiao Nan was his first true marriage. His son was already forty-five and was finally getting married for real. Could his mother possibly not get excited and emotional?

That was why Miao Jing wanted to do everything herself.

It was only upon seeing Miao Jing’s reaction did Zhai Yaohui realize that not many people in the Zhai family had been happy when Zhai Sheng had married Qiu Chenxi more than a decade ago. Whether it was their son or their daughter, neither of their first marriages had been a good one. What was different, however, was that he had seen through Wei De. On the contrary, he had not seen through Qiu Chenxi, who had grown up under his nose.

But that mistake had already been made. There was no point in bringing up a mistake that had been made more than ten years ago. It was rare that Miao Jing was so happy, and there was the atmosphere of a joyful occasion in the Zhai family for the first time. As long as Miao Jing did not tire herself out, Zhai Yaohui would not try to stop Miao Jing from helping out if she wanted to.

If he were to stop her, he would become the bad guy.

Thinking about the wedding invitations and candy, Miao Jing smiled. “Jiajia and I work quickly. We’ve finished almost half of everything. Can I not care about it now that my son is getting married? Jiajia is such an understanding child. She’s been worried that I’ll be tired and always asks me to rest. She even tells me that she can handle it alone. This child is even more obedient than her mother. How can I let a child who’s about to take the middle school examination work so hard? I’m only asking her to help out because I’m afraid that her eyesight will deteriorate from studying too hard.”

“Yes, yes. Your granddaughter is the best and the most obedient in the world.” Zhai Yaohui felt as though there were worms crawling in his ears when he heard his wife praising Jiajia. He wondered how his wife had not grown tired of praising her.

“Of course! My granddaughter is the best!”

“And my grandma is the best too!” Jiajia, who had just returned from school, joyfully bounced over to Miao Jing’s side and hugged her. “Grandma, I’m starving. Is there anything to eat at home?” Jiajia rubbed her stomach. She realized that ever since moving into her grandma’s house, her mood had improved and so had her appetite. Most importantly, she had grown.

“Yes, there’s the soup dumplings that you love most. I specially asked auntie to make them. I’ll get her to steam them. They’ll be down in about five minutes. You must eat them while they’re hot.” Miao Jing’s heart leaped with joy as Jiajia hugged her. She was in luck this year. Everything was going her way and life was only getting better!

Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui were already advanced in age and there was a limit to how much they could eat. Sometimes, when the auntie asked her what to prepare, Miao Jing would tell her to make a decision on their behalf. Now, everything had changed. Because there were more people in the family, especially with a growing child like Jiajia, Miao Jing finally found meaning in deciding what to prepare for their meals every day.

“Grandma, when are you and grandpa going to Qingshui Town? When is my uncle going to have his wedding?” She had been packing those candies for way too long.
