The other party might misunderstand that they were dissatisfied with her, didn’t value her, and had a different opinion from their son, what should they do if they break up?

Courtesy costs nothing.

It wasn’t too late to go to Qingshui Town to see her daughter-in-law after returning to the Zhai family’s house and thinking about the details of wedding gifts, dowry, and even the type of banquet to be held. In short, her performance had to be good. She must help her son marry this woman home.

Seeing that Miao Jing didn’t want to explain, Zhai Yaohui naturally wouldn’t put her in a difficult spot. “Sure. Listen to your mom. Return to the Zhai family’s house first.”

“Okay.” Miao Jing was unwilling to share, and Zhai Hua was too lazy to ask. On the contrary, the more Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing wanted to rush down to Qingshui Town like anxious monkeys, the more uncomfortable Zhai Hua would feel in her heart. At this time, Zhai Hua felt better after knowing that Miao Jing decided to return to the Zhai family’s house to rest.

This was right. They shouldn’t have favored one over the other. Zhai Sheng’s match didn’t have good conditions. On what basis did her parents place more importance on that woman than Wei De back then? They said that Wei De wasn’t good. However, they also hadn’t seen that woman and weren’t clear about what kind of person she was. Since that was the case, this meant that there was differential treatment between her and Zhai Sheng!

After arriving at the Zhai family’s house, Zhai Hua helped carry the luggage.

Seeing that the Zhai family’s house was like before, Miao Jing had a feeling of nostalgia. “Old Zhai, what do you think if we don’t leave this time after we’re back?” The capital was good, but it didn’t give her the comfortable feeling Ping Cheng did.

“Let’s talk about this again later.” Zhai Yaohui glanced at Zhai Hua. He didn’t agree immediately as he was afraid that Zhai Hua would make some comments. Zhai Sheng’s job was still in the capital. Once Zhai Sheng recovered from his illness, he would definitely have to return to the capital. Once Zhai Sheng got married, and if he had a child, regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, he dared say that Miao Jing would definitely run back to the capital to take care of her grandson or granddaughter.

The child was now Miao Miao’s obsession.

Miao Miao had spoken too soon. If she couldn’t do it and returned to the capital again, Zhai Hua’s misgivings toward them would become deeper. When the three of them met in the future, they couldn’t possibly be like enemies and keep glaring at one another with hatred, right?

Miao Jing didn’t think as deeply as Zhai Yaohui. However, she was used to not reb.u.t.ting his words. “Hua Hua, when will you bring Jiajia over to see me and your dad?” In the past, Hua Hua always said that Jiajia had to attend school and partic.i.p.ate in all kinds of tuition cla.s.ses, so she didn’t have time to go to the capital. The number of times she saw Jiajia, this granddaughter, in a year could be counted with just one hand.

Now that she was in Ping Cheng, the distance between them was shorter, and there were more chances to see Jiajia, right?

“Let’s talk about this later.” Zhai Hua used Zhai Yaohui’s previous words. “Jiajia has a lot of homework. If she’s free, I’ll bring her to see you both.” Zhai Hua also didn’t understand why she didn’t like her daughter to visit her parents. She just knew that she didn’t like it. Thus, she asked her daughter to keep a distance from the Zhai family.

Perhaps her husband’s family wasn’t too good and her husband had changed too quickly. The only thing that made Zhai Hua feel comforted was that she had given birth to a good daughter. Jiajia was very caring and considerate of her hard work and helplessness. With such a sensible daughter by her side, it could make up for the negative emotions caused by the absurdity of her husband’s family.

“Sigh…” Seeing that Zhai Hua left after sending them back to the Zhai family’s house, Miao Jing felt sour in her heart. “Old Zhai, can our relations.h.i.+p with Hua Hua only be like this? It has been more than ten years, and Jiajia is already in junior high school. Why is Hua Hua still blaming us? Isn’t she clear what kind of person Wei De is and how the Wei family is like? As parents, we would always want the best for our children. Hua Hua is a mother now as well. Why does she still refuse to forgive us until now?”

It had been proven that their persistence and dissatisfaction toward Wei De back then was correct. They really wished that Hua Hua could lead a better life. Wei De wasn’t worthy of her, and that’s why they were resolute in their dissatisfaction.

“Don’t think too much. Our daughter is arrogant. Her self-esteem is especially stronger in front of those she cares about the most. The more we do things right, the more she is reluctant to admit it in front of us. She’s already a mother, but she’s still so stubborn. I hope she can figure things out soon.”

She was close to fifty years old. If his daughter could figure things out now, she would lead a happier life for the next twenty to thirty years at the very least. Men were unreliable. However, didn’t Hua Hua like her daughter, Jiajia, a lot?

The reason why he and Miao Miao were more worried about Zhai Sheng than Hua Hua was because they knew that once Zhai Hua figured things out and left Wei De, there was still Jiajia by her side. Zhai Sheng was different. Once both of them left, there wouldn’t be anyone by Zhai Sheng’s side whom he could talk to.

Aside from sighing, it was useless for Miao Jing to think too much. Who asked the two children to be so hard to talk to? “What do you think we should prepare for Zhai Sheng’s match?”

“It’s because of this?” Zhai Yaohui finally understood why Miao Jing wanted to stay at the Zhai family’s house for a night.

“Of course. It’s the first time we’re seeing our daughter-in-law. We can’t be unprepared. What if that woman misunderstands us for not valuing her or thinks that we are dissatisfied? She’s in that situation, while our family has such good conditions. I bet that woman must be feeling a lot of psychological pressure. If we don’t sound convincing, Zhai Sheng’s wife will leave. I don’t know if the two of us will still be alive to wait for Zhai Sheng to agree to getting married again then.”

Since they were still around, they could help push their son. They couldn’t let him be rude in front of others.

When Miao Jing said these words, she had completely forgotten that Zhai Sheng was married once and this wasn’t the first time she saw her daughter-in-law. What was different was that Qiu Chenxi was too close with the Zhai family back then. When she faced Qiu Chenxi, Miao Jing didn’t feel nervous at all. It was Qiu Chenxi who thought of ways to marry Zhai Sheng and not the Zhai family who begged Qiu Chenxi to marry over. The mentality between the two was completely different. In front of Qiu Chenxi, Miao Jing wouldn’t be nervous at all.

Furthermore, when Qiu Chenxi wronged Zhai Sheng and caused the Zhai family to be embarra.s.sed, Miao Jing no longer treated Qiu Chenxi as her daughter-in-law. She had completely erased Qiu Chenxi from her own memory.

Initially, Zhai Yaohui didn’t think it was necessary. They were just here to take a look at the person. Wouldn’t it be fine if they simply acted as if they didn’t know about that woman’s existence? If they were afraid of being rude, they could just prepare a red packet easily. However, after listening to Miao Jing’s words and seeing how nervous she was, Zhai Yaohui didn’t object to it.

In the Zhai family’s eyes, the woman who could make Zhai Sheng agree to marriage was no less than a hero. It was rare for this ‘heroine’ to appear. They had to keep her. Otherwise, even if they wanted to in the future, they might no longer have a chance to do so.
