Even though Zhang Jiasen felt that Miao Miaomiao was dumb, he was still aware that her personality was gentle and soft. This current Miao Miaomiao gave him a bad premonition.

  Miao Miaomiao’s attitude towards him had changed subtly ever since she had come back from the countryside. Zhang Jiasen felt that the current Miao Miaomiao was a little difficult to deal with.

  One of Zhang Jiasen’s greatest pride was the fact that he had been able to make Miao Miaomiao, this miss from a wealthy family, fall so wholeheartedly in love with him, but now things were starting to go awry.

  Zhang Jiasen rubbed his forehead. He was starting to regret tossing Miao Miaomiao to the countryside. Could it be that the tough days had actually managed to polish Miao Miaomiao’s intelligence?

  “Jiasen, when’s she coming back? A married woman is staying out late and not returning home? If it was back then, she’d be drowned in a pig cage for not following the customs.” Zhang Jiasen’s mother was already tired of waiting. It was already near midnight. Back in the countryside, they were always deep asleep by this time.

  Zhang Jiasen said, “It’s already late, so she said that she’ll come back tomorrow. She’s staying at her parents’ for today.”


  Zhang Jiasen’s mother became even more displeased. “She’s still going to her maternal home even though she’s married? Once she’s in the Zhang family, she belongs only to the Zhang family.”


  When Zhang Jiasen heard what his mother said, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate. “Mom, Miaomiao is my wife after all, so treat her a little better. She’s currently the CEO of the company and she might even inherit the company. There’s no benefit to us in ruining our relationship with her.”


  Zhang Jiasen’s mother glowered. “What’s a woman managing a company for? Women should stay at home and look after the family. Have her hand you the company. Those things should be left to men. Women should stay at home to have kids and raise kids.”


  Zhang Jiasen pressed his lips together as he looked at his mother without saying anything.

  Zhang Jiasen’s father was holding a tobacco pipe. After taking a puff of it, he said to Zhang Jiasen, “Leave your wife’s matter alone for now. Find a position for your brother-in-law in the company.”


  “That’s right, Brother-in-law, find me a job. It’s best if it’s more chillaxed. You know I can’t do heavy labor, it’s too tiring,” said Tan Heyu casually.

  When Zhang Jiasen looked over and saw Tan Heyu’s clearly unreliable manner, he furrowed his brows. However, he saw that Zhang Wenlan, who was currently hugging her sleeping child, was looking towards him with hope and pleading in her eyes, he couldn’t bear to say no to her so he nodded and said, “Alright, but since he doesn’t have any certifications, I can only arrange for him to work in the factory.”


  “That works.” Zhang Jiasen’s father rapped his pipe against the table as he approved this. Tan Heyu then asked Zhang Jiasen, “Brother-in-law, can you make me a workshop director?”


  Zhang Jiasen’s brows tightly furrowed and a trace of baleful anger flashed through his eyes. Tan Heyu was slightly frightened by this and stopped talking.

  “Big Bro, can you give me some money? It’s my first time in a place like this so I want to go shopping. The clothing in the city really are prettier,” said Little Sis Zhang.

  Then Little Sis Zhang’s eyes whirled with an idea. “Big Bro, no need for your money actually. I’ll call Miao Miaomiao tomorrow. That way there’ll be someone to pay for things.”


  Little Sis Zhang’s face filled with proud delight. She felt really smart.

  However, Zhang Jiasen frowned. If it had been the past Miao Miaomiao, he would’ve been confident that she would go to act as an atm, but he couldn’t be certain about that with the current Miao Miaomiao. Furthermore, she was busy with company affairs every day. She barely had time to even meet with him, so how could she possibly have the time to take Little Sis Zhang shopping?

  Zhang Jiasen took some bills out from his wallet and gave it to Little Sis Zhang. “Your sister-in-law has to go to work, so she doesn’t have time to go shopping with you. Take this and go buy whatever you like.”


  Little Sis Zhang accepted the money, but her expression was unhappy. Spending her own brother’s money was completely different from spending other people’s money. She didn’t feel any heartache spending other people’s money, especially when it was Miao Miaomiao’s. Who asked for her to have so much money?

  Zhang Jiasen felt a little vexed, so he went to the balcony to smoke. It only took a little while for the ground to be covered with cigarette butts.
