Even before her only daughter, Zhai Hua wasn’t prepared to change her temper.

  “How good is Nan Nan? She’s your sister-in-law and the biological mother of the triplets. Her love for Jiajia isn’t any lesser than the triplets. Nan Nan has a gentle temperament. She’s a good example of using gentleness to counter toughness. You know Zhai Sheng’s temper. Nan Nan could turn my son into a good husband and father. Isn’t Nan Nan capable? I understand why Nan Nan is living well in our house now. All of us have a hard temper and aren’t softhearted. Will our family not like a person like Nan Nan?”

  Zhai Hua had to acknowledge Miao Jing’s words as she was speaking the truth. However, the more she listened, the more she felt something was amiss. “Mom, based on your words, why do I feel that Qiao Nan isn’t gentle but using a soft knife on our family instead?” Anyway, in the end, their family would compromise. She was right about this, right?

  Miao Jing patted Zhai Hua’s back. “Do you know how to say something nice? No wonder Jiajia doesn’t like you. These words are so unpleasant. How is Nan Nan using a soft knife on our family? Did you return all your language knowledge to your language teacher? Nan Nan has three biological children. She’s already so busy taking care of her own children. Who would be willing to take care of other’s children? Nan Nan isn’t afraid of hard work and is willing to help you keep an eye on Jiajia. You should be happy. Also, you don’t have to be so calculative. You have to know that Nan Nan can manage Jiajia.”

  The Zhai family was bad-tempered and didn’t listen to persuasion. They were lacking a person who could manage them. Thankfully, Qiao Nan appeared. The best thing was that not only did the gentle Qiao Nan succeed in managing Zhai Sheng but also Zhai Hua and Jiajia.

  To Miao Jing, these three people were the most difficult to manage in the Zhai family.

  \r \r \r

  Ignoring the fact that Zhai Hua was jealous over how Jiajia listened to Qiao Nan’s words and didn’t value her, the biological mother, Miao Jing understood in her heart that Zhai Hua always listened to Qiao Nan’s advice. Even when she had finally divorced Wei De, Qiao Nan had played a big role in it.

  It was just that people usually persuaded couples to stay together instead of getting a divorce. Before she married over, she was already ‘encouraging’ her sister-in-law to get a divorce. In the eyes of ordinary people, this wasn’t acceptable.

  Only family should know about her own affairs. Why should an outsider know so much? Furthermore, she was actively discussing it.

  After Miao Jing’s persuasion, Zhai Hua, who was originally someone who could figure things out, simply relaxed. Anyway, Jiajia was willing to let Qiao Nan manage her. If there was someone else helping her care for Jiajia, wouldn’t Zhai Hua’s stress and burden be lowered?

  No harm was done if there was no comparison. Zhai Hua was still a little jealous that Jiajia listened to Qiao Nan’s words a lot. However, Zhai Hua couldn’t deny that when it came to raising a child, she really wasn’t as good as Qiao Nan. Look at how Qiao Nan brought the triplets up to be so obedient and cute.

  In Qiao Nan’s hands, Jiajia was a sweet and caring child. When Qiao Nan wanted to feed the triplets milk, Jiajia would help sterilize the bottles, make the milk, and hand over the full milk bottles to Qiao Nan only after testing the temperature. After the triplets drank milk, Qiao Nan didn’t need to wash the dirty bottles. Jiajia had long taken them to the kitchen to wash and put in the disinfection cabinet.

  In front of Qiao Nan, Jiajia was like Qiao Nan’s elder daughter and a good helper. What made Zhai Hua depressed was that in front of her, the biological mother, Jiajia was obviously a choking pepper.

  She was resigned to fate. Having a daughter like this, what else could she do besides resigning to fate?

  Her mom was right. She should be thankful that Jiajia was willing to be managed by Qiao Nan and Qiao Nan was willing to help her manage Jiajia. If the situation were to change and Zhai Sheng married someone else or remained single, based on the way she was getting along with Jiajia, Jiajia would follow her old path sooner or later like how she had fallen out with her family in order to marry Wei De back then and made a wrong choice.

  It was better to have someone manage Jiajia than no one. As long as Jiajia was willing to accept it, everything was good.

  “Zhai Sheng’s at home, right? What is he doing?” After being persuaded by Miao Jing like this, Zhai Hua couldn’t help but feel grateful that Zhai Sheng made a good judgment to marry such a good woman like Qiao Nan, benefitting the entire family. No matter what, he was much better than she had been back then.

  During the short three years that Qiu Chenxi had been married to Zhai Sheng, she had used the Zhai family’s resources to push Qiu Qin up. She had even nearly caused the Zhai family to be burdened by Qiu Qin and shamelessly cheated on Zhai Sheng.

  Zhai Sheng and the rest, who were far away in the capital, didn’t know and didn’t care about Qiu Chenxi’s news. However, Zhai Hua, who stayed in Ping Cheng, knew a lot. Qiu Qin was dishonest. He took advantage of the relationships Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi had with the Zhai family when they were young and climbed up the ranks a lot.

  However, if someone didn’t have a conscience when they were young, don’t expect that they would somehow find their conscience when they were old. Forget it that Qiu Qin had an affair. At his age, he insisted on divorcing Qi Minlan as he said that he had already wronged the woman outside for half a lifetime. If he didn’t get a divorce, he would have wronged her for her whole life. He only wished that during his remaining lifetime, he could be husband-and-wife with the woman he truly loved so as not to leave any regrets in life.

  In the past, Zhai Hua hated Qi Minlan. Following Qi Minlan’s and Qiu Chenxi’s appearances, the atmosphere in their family became especially low. Her mom became especially unhappy.

  However, seeing that Qi Minlan was being so badly hurt by Qiu Qin in her later years, from the perspective of a woman, Zhai Hua pitied Qi Minlan a little.

  Of course, Zhai Hua never forgot how Qi Minlan used to ruin their family’s relationships. Even if Qi Minlan was unlucky in her later years, she would never give her any help at this time just because she pitied her.

  Qiu Qin wasn’t a good person. Qi Minlan was no better. This couple slept on the same bed but had different dreams. Qi Minlan always ran to the house of her ex-boyfriend, who was already married and had children, trying to pair her daughter with her ex-boyfriend’s son. Although Qiu Qin knew what his wife was doing, in order to get promoted and become rich, he was willing to carry the doubt of being cheated on. As long as she didn’t cheat on him, he would tolerate it.

  How strange was it that this disagreeable couple did such a thing?
