Chapter 2014: Successfully Wished for It

“If you don’t perform well, it means that I, as a husband, didn’t manage you well. Thus, do you know the significance of doing this?”

If they were going to act, their actings had to be real to deceive that old man. Once that old man realized something was wrong, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

w.a.n.g Yang didn’t understand. The elderly in other people’s homes were all confused. Why was it that the elderly in theirs became smarter as he grew older? When he was working in the unit, he didn’t feel tired no matter how many people he dealt with. It was only when he was facing that old man at home that he often felt restrained and unable to cope.

w.a.n.g Yang’s wife became guilty. “Then… What else should we do?” Wasn’t it enough to suffer scoldings?

“What else can we do? In front of that old man, we have to get physical. The only thing I can grasp is the severity of your injuries and where to hit you.” That old man was a soldier. He didn’t believe in hitting women, but his eyes were sharp. That old man would definitely not believe it based on scoldings alone.

No pain, no gain. It was the same reason. n.o.body would believe in words alone.

Upon hearing that they were going to get physical, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife felt pained. However, she frowned and agreed. “Hit me then. All’s good if I can help you fulfill your dream. However, husband, once you are able to lead a good life in the future, don’t treat me as an old and haggard woman and be like those people outside who raised a few vixens to infuriate me.”

w.a.n.g Yang was both angry and amused. Women were still quite alert and had a number of tricks up their sleeves. “Aren’t you my wife? What is the biggest dream of my life? Others may not know, but would you not know? If there are a lot of such incidents, how would I be able to climb up the ranks in the future? I won’t sacrifice my future just for a woman.”

l.u.s.t was dangerous. He didn’t feel that he couldn’t control himself well. If it was a mistake that could be avoided, why would he let it happen again? As a person who wanted to mingle in the political circle, l.u.s.t was more p.r.o.ne to problems than money.

Even if there wasn’t the incident today, w.a.n.g Yang wasn’t flirtatious. Otherwise, he didn’t need to be so good to his wife and in-laws. He understood that as long as his in-laws understood that they shouldn’t cause trouble to him, he could continue to advance under the premise of maintaining this marriage.

“That’s good.” After getting w.a.n.g Yang’s a.s.surance, w.a.n.g Yang’s wife expressed that it was really nothing to suffer a few beatings before that old man died. If she was willing to do this, there would be a lot of good days waiting for her in the future. Compared to leading a good life, the things before her were really nothing. “Husband, let’s go according to what we’ve planned just now. I’ll keep an eye on that old man. You and that old man stand by the side until he dies.”

As long as that old man didn’t leave a will that was unfavorable to them, even if he died from natural causes, everything from the Zhu family would naturally belong to her husband. The two of them were just waiting for such a day.

In the room, w.a.n.g Yang and his wife were discussing how to face Zhu Chengqi in the future. On the other hand, Qiao Nan’s marriage was not stopped. Zhai Sheng, who was dressed up in a military uniform, appeared at the Zhu family’s doorstep at the appropriate timing. He was there to fetch his bride!

“He’s here!” Jiajia stood by the windows. She jumped with excitement when she saw her tall and handsome uncle appear. Indeed, the lively Jiajia now looked like a naive teenager.

Zhai Hua smiled with a headache. “Don’t jump around. Be careful of your feet.” It would take at least three months for the injuries to the bones and tendons to recover. Although Jiajia had recovered from her fracture, she still had to continue recuperating. Didn’t they see that Zhai Sheng’s recuperation for half a year even got him a wife?

Once Jiajia was happy, she forgot about her fracture. Indeed, she was still a child.

Unlike Zhai Hua’s nervousness, Jiajia naturally didn’t think it would be an issue for her to jump up and down. “Mom, I’m fine. Uncle’s going to pick Aunt up.” True love wasn’t easy. She saw how her aunt got together with her uncle. When her aunt gave birth to a son or daughter in the future, she could still treat them as a younger brother or sister.

“Nan Nan, I’m here to pick you up.” Zhai Sheng’s voice sounded outside the door. Qiao Nan vaguely combined the voice of that young man in his twenties in her dream with the forty-five-year-old man today.

Qiao Nan took a deep breath. She had tears in her eyes. She was going to marry him again.

Miao Jing’s face was flushed as if she had put on a lot of blusher. She was obviously receiving a daughter-in-law today. However, she felt like she was marrying a daughter off. However, no matter what, their family would have a new family member starting today. Perhaps within a year, there would be another one or two new members.

Upon thinking about that cute little kid addressing her as grandma, Miao Jing couldn’t wait to cancel the wedding banquet and just hurriedly lock Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng in a room. Miao Jing herself couldn’t remember how long she had waited for this day.

“Nan Nan, you have to be well with Zhai Sheng in the future.” She held Qiao Nan’s hand and delivered her to her son. Although Miao Jing said this to Qiao Nan, more of it was directed to Zhai Sheng.

In a family, Zhai Sheng had to have a more tolerant heart, take care of everything for Qiao Nan, and support their small family. Only then was Zhai Sheng a qualified man to get married and have children. Otherwise, even if Zhai Sheng was married, he would only let his wife and children suffer.

Zhai Sheng held Qiao Nan’s hand firmly. His strength wouldn’t hurt Qiao Nan, but it gave her a feeling that Zhai Sheng would never let her go in the future. “Mom, Nan Nan and I will definitely lead a good life and not let you and Dad worry. It has been tough on the both of you over the years.”

Zhai Sheng had always felt that getting married was his own business and his parents had worried too much. Not only was it enough to give him Qiu Chenxi, but they hoped for him to have a second shot at marriage. However, Zhai Sheng no longer thought this way.

Zhai Hua was stubborn and reckless to marry Wei De. His actions of casually marrying Qiu Chenxi, then divorcing Qiu Chenxi, and remaining single until today were equally stubborn. All in all, he and Zhai Hua were indeed siblings. Both of them had caused a lot of worry to their parents.

“Alright, both of you will lead a good life. Both of you are good children.” It was rare for Zhai Sheng to say such a sincere sentence. Miao Jing, who was already sentimental, felt touched and her voice became hoa.r.s.e. Her children had grown up and become sensible. No wonder old people often said that it was only when someone formed a family could they be considered to have really grown up. The day she had been waiting for was finally here.
