Chapter 2508: Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui (9)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Miao Jing is a jinx. Isnt the chief afraid that people in his family will meet with accidents and die early just like your elder brother and sister-in-law?

Of course, her niece wouldnt be as close to her as her daughter was.

Thinking about how Miao Jing had been suffering in her hands all these years, Second Auntie Miao would have to coax Miao Jing and suck up to her instead once Miao Jing married the chiefs son. Second Auntie Miao hated the idea of that! There was no way she would let that happen!

Dont you think youre overthinking it? The chief may be impressive, but he isnt a G.o.d. How could he possibly know that? In my opinion, its better to just go with my plan and let Lanlan take Miao Jings place and enjoy a good life. Apart from my own daughter, I will trust no one. Do you think Miao Jing will remember us once she gets married into a good family? Think about how weve treated her all these years.

Second Auntie Miao finally spoke the truth at this point in time.

To be honest, they hadnt just treated her averagely. They had treated her extremely poorly.

It was exactly because Second Auntie Miao was clear about that that she was unwilling to let Miao Jing have such a good opportunity.

She felt that Miao Jing would definitely ignore these poor relatives of hers once she went with the chief and had a good and comfortable life to live.

Besides, she couldnt possibly watch on as Miao Jing went to live a blissful life.

Miao Jing was a jinx. She had better be filial to her uncle and auntie for the rest of her life. That was the att.i.tude she ought to have.

Second Uncle Miao laughed self-deprecatingly. I really hope Im overthinking it, but from what I see, that isnt the case. I wont talk about anything else. But the chief might very well come and deal with us once he finds out that you lied to him that Lanlan was Miao Jing. Youre such a failure. Have you never thought about the consequences before trying to cheat others? Our three children are really going to be ruined by you!

If he had known that this was going to happen, he should have knocked this b*tch unconscious and dragged her into the room the moment she opened her mouth.

Look at how much trouble she had caused in such a short span of time.

Dad, dont scare me. I cant be frightened like that. Miao Lanlan had already been stunned by Old Zhais anger.

Usually, Miao Lanlan was haughty and arrogant in front of Miao Jing. Even though Miao Jing was a few months older than her, she had never once addressed Miao Jing as her elder sister. In fact, she only addressed Miao Jing by her name when she was in a good mood.

When she was in a bad mood, Miao Lanlan would simply call Miao Jing whatever she wanted.

But in front of Old Zhai, Miao Lanlan dared not act so recklessly. She was no different from a little kitten.

Second Auntie Miao had already said that she was Miao Jing, but Miao Lanlan dared not step forward to get close to Old Zhai, nor try to please him.

Miao Lanlan felt that the gaze of that impressive chief alone was enough to make her legs give way.

Miao Lanlan had already been in such shock, and after hearing her dads words, she felt as though she was going to faint from fear.

Humph! Second Uncle Miao huffed. Youre just like your mom. Since youre so timid, why didnt you tell him that youre Miao Lanlan and that youre our daughter when your mom said that you were Miao Jing? You want to take advantage of others, but you dont have the courage to actually do it! I get so frustrated looking at you two! Ive already said my piece. If the chief really comes back to deal with you two, Im going to chase both of you out of the house.

Anyway, he still had two sons. It didnt matter if he didnt have a wife. In another few years time, his sons would get married and he would have people to serve him all the same.

Mom Miao Lanlan hugged Second Auntie Miao as she burst into tears. Mom, Im so scared. What shall we do? We didnt do anything wrong. Why would the chief try to get back at us and want our lives?

Second Auntie Miao herself was in fear too, but she couldnt show that in front of her daughter.

Second Auntie Miao held her daughter in her arms, trying to console herself and her daughter. Dont be afraid. Think about it. Those four olds that were so impressive have already been defeated. One of them was even Chairman Maos wife! So what if hes a chief? Is the chief more important than the chairman? Were ordinary folks who havent done anything against the law. Were not slave drivers or traitors. They have no right to take our lives. Dont worry. Listen to me. Well be fine.

Miao Lanlan sniffled. Mom, are you still sending me to the chiefs side to let me have a good life? Will I marry the chiefs son? Besides, did the chief even have a son?

Second Auntie Miao smiled bitterly. Did she want to?

Of course she did. She was almost going crazy just thinking about it.

If she succeeded in doing so, she would become in-laws with a chief. Of course, she wanted her daughter to marry well.

But after learning about Miao Jings name, the chief had shown no interest in Lanlan at all, much less talked about bringing Lanlan along with him or finding a good partner for her.

Before the chief left, he hadnt even said anything or asked them if they wanted him to help with finding Miao Jing a partner or even to treat Miao Jing well on his behalf, much less offer to give her a dowry if she were to get married.

Now, Second Auntie Miao couldnt help but think that it was normal for a family like theirs to not be able to become in-laws with the chief.

But her husbands elder brother had saved the chief twice, after all! Twice!

How could the chief do nothing now that Miao Jing was going to get married?

As long as the chief sent some things over to Miao Jing, Second Auntie Miao would have the final say over what she could bring with her and she had to leave at home.

Second Auntie Miao had already thought it through. There was no way the chief would send too few things over to Miao Jing, and neither would he send cheap things over.

Perhaps, she could even use these gifts to prepare a good dowry for her daughter and even help her two sons get married.

But the chief had not said a word and had simply taken his leave after understanding the familys situation!

At the thought of this, Second Auntie Miao was infuriated.

Mom, since the chief is gone, shouldnt you get Miao Jing back? Otherwise, whos going to wash our clothes, feed the pigs, and take care of the livestock tomorrow? Youd better not ask me to do all that. Its so smelly and dirty. Im not going to do it.

With her mother around and rea.s.suring her that nothing would happen, Miao Lanlan, who had been sobbing just moments earlier, was back to her usual arrogant self.

Second Auntie Miao patted her thigh. If you didnt mention it, I would really have forgotten all about all the household ch.o.r.es awaiting that jinx.. Since the chief is gone, Id better go get her back.
