Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2362: Fighting It Out (3)

“Yes.” Qiao Nan believed Zhai Sheng wholeheartedly after hearing that he could help her. After getting up, she went to the nursery to see which child had thrown tantrums. One had to know that as the triplets grew older, they could slowly sleep through the night and would no longer throw tantrums at night. A situation like today was a bit unusual.

Seeing that the two other children hadn’t woken up yet by the noise and were just frowning and mumbling unhappily, Qiao Nan hurriedly carried Er Bao up. She patted him lightly and coaxed him. “Er Bao, be obedient. Don’t cry. If you continue to cry, you will wake Da Bao and San Bao up.”

Qiao Nan carried Er Bao into the toilet. She prepared a basin of warm water and changed Er Bao’s diapers. She was a mother, after all. She thought of how Er Bao had made a fuss about drinking milk and had drunk half a bottle more than usual before sleeping tonight. As there was too much milk in his stomach, not only did he wake up late, but he even ‘wetted his bed’.

Qiao Nan helped Er Bao change into clean diapers and aired his buttocks dry. Once his buttocks were comfortable, Er Bao stopped crying very quickly. There were tears from the corners of his eyes. After sucking his thumb, he fell asleep very quickly.

After placing Er Bao back in the crib and making sure that Da Bao and San Bao didn’t wet themselves, Qiao Nan returned to the room. As she opened the door, Zhai Sheng was holding a mobile in his hands. “Yes, alright. I’ll hand this matter to you.”

As a chief, Zhai Sheng was in a situation similar to that of a teacher. A teacher’s achievement was that he had taught numerous students. Zhai Sheng’s achievement was that he had brought up a lot of soldiers. These included the soldiers in Qingshui Town and the old soldiers who were now retired as policemen in Ping Cheng.

“Found someone to take care of this matter?” Qiao Nan sat next to Zhai Sheng. She looked at Zhai Sheng with a strong sense of dependence. It was as if as long as Zhai Sheng made a move, he would be able to help her settle the matters that caused her a headache.

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng carried Qiao Nan and lay down again. “Don’t worry. Someone will take care of her hospitalization. Nobody needs to think about taking advantage of this opportunity to get any benefits.”

As a normal person, Zhai Sheng couldn’t understand Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s behaviors. It wasn’t good if someone fell ill. How would there be people who wanted to make a small fortune via this? No wonder a softhearted person like Nan Nan never wavered in her determination to maintain a distance from her family.

An ordinary person couldn’t do such a thing.

If the Qiao family was poor and they couldn’t even guarantee their basic living expenses, Zhai Sheng could understand why Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had such money-making ideas, though he disagreed with them. However, it wasn’t like this in reality. No matter how much Qiao Nan hated Ding Jiayi, her biological mother, she would give her basic living expenses so that it wouldn’t be a problem to her.

From ancient to modern times, there was never a reason for a younger sister to provide for an older sister. However, Qiao Nan had provided for Qiao Zijin all this while. It could be said that she had provided her for her university education as well. Even if Qiao Zijin had some money in her pocket now, it was given by Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin didn’t earn a cent herself.

Qiao Zijin had already gotten more than a million yuan from Qiao Nan. She still found that that wasn’t enough. Seeing that their biological mother was ill, she even wanted Qiao Nan to fork out more medical expenses. By then, if there was any spare cash, Qiao Nan would definitely not make a trip to Ping Cheng just to get back this small amount of money, right?

As the only relative taking care of Ding Jiayi by her side, she had the authority as a family member to help Ding Jiayi settle her discharge procedures and withdraw the additional money. Once the money entered Qiao Zijin’s pockets, no reason could make Qiao Zijin spit it out again.

After knowing Qiao Zijin’s and Ding Jiayi’s characters, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng didn’t even want to mention that they were birds of the same feather who flocked together. In the face of such shameless people, what they could do was to take care of and consider all aspects such that they could try and not let people who loved to be idle and profit from others’ toil succeed in their plans. That would just encourage those lazy people to be leeches and form deformed mentalities of relying on others to survive.

The person Zhai Sheng found naturally acted fast. As such, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng knew on that day why Ding Jiayi was suffering from food poisoning and gastric problems.

After knowing the details of this situation, it was difficult not for Qiao Nan to admire Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. Qiao Zijin was long used to living and eating at her parent’s house. She was only short of making them take care of her clothes. In the past, Ding Jiayi liked Qiao Zijin, her daughter, a lot. She was willing to pamper her and was happy to spend a lot of money on her.

Now, the situation was reversed and Ding Jiayi didn’t like Qiao Zijin. In order not to let Qiao Zijin continue to take advantage of her, she had really used all ways and means. Qiao Zijin was forced to rack her brains and fight a battle of wits and a contest of strength against Ding Jiayi. She had to win such that Ding Jiayi wouldn’t dare to play tricks with her in the future.

Ding Jiayi bought all the cooking ingredients at home. Initially, Ding Jiayi started to stop cooking for Qiao Zijin and avoided her for meals. Qiao Zijin changed her habits without a word and started cooking! In the beginning, although Qiao Zijin prepared meals for herself, she didn’t wash the dirty dishes. The bowls and plates were greasy and Qiao Zijin didn’t like that feeling.

Ding Jiayi was taken advantage of by Qiao Zijin again. No matter how uncomfortable she felt looking at the dirty dishes in the sink, she refused to help Qiao Zijin wash them and just let them attract flies.

When Qiao Zijin was back at the Qiao family, the ingredients that Ding Jiayi bought were used up quickly. After eating, Ding Jiayi learned well and no longer bought a few days’ worth of ingredients like before so that Qiao Zijin could prepare meals for herself. As Qiao Zijin didn’t only snatch over the ready-made dishes but also the ingredients, Ding Jiayi thought of another idea again. She would specially buy ingredients that Qiao Zijin didn’t like. She was going to see if Qiao Zijin would still use them and cook meals for herself.

The mother-daughter pair engaged in all kinds of fights and their relationship was stiff.

I won’t wash the dishes that you ate. What? You’re not going to wash them? Then, I won’t too! Let’s just leave all the dishes there then.

Nobody washed the dishes, nobody cleaned the rooms, and nobody swept the floor. Under such a situation, how would the living conditions of the mother-daughter pair be any good? Especially now that it was entering June, the weather was getting hotter. By the time it reached the end of June, the weather would be no joke. When the weather was hot, it would be easy for everything to have a heavy smell. Under such terrible living conditions, it would be weird if nothing happened to one’s body.

As they fought it out, Ding Jiayi ate unclean ingredients and was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night for gastric lavage.
