Chapter 2093: Crazy

She had gone through what she had in the Qiao family and had been tortured at the hands of Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi because of G.o.d’s arrangement. Her life was changing for the better because she had endured through all that.

No amount of suffering could compare to the joy of the three children’s arrival.

It was great! The triplets were back! The father was still the same father, and the mother was still the same mother. Even the three babies didn’t change. The family of five would finally have their reunion!

“Don’t cry.” The auntie was in a frenzy. “The doctor said that your emotions will affect the babies. You’re carrying three babies! It’s good news that others can only dream about! Don’t worry. You and the babies will be just fine.” She would do her best to ensure that Qiao Nan and the triplets were well taken care of.

“Indeed. Pregnant women shouldn’t have such great fluctuations in their moods. But it’s understandable.” It was not because she favored boys over girls but these children were indeed very important to Qiao Nan since she was finally giving birth at the age of forty.

The doctor did her best in telling the auntie everything a pregnant woman had to take note of, especially for a patient carrying multiple children. The auntie was diligent and immediately took over the role that Zhai Sheng had played the previous time, meticulously copying down every word that the doctor said without fail.

After that, the auntie treated her notebook like a precious baby, putting it safely in a compartment in her bag. “Be careful and walk slowly. I’ll support you. Don’t worry. I’m strong. I can support you.”

At this moment, the auntie turned all her attention to Qiao Nan, afraid that something would happen to her. She seemed to be protecting and supporting only one person, but it was actually four people altogether!

Qiao Nan, who had bawled her eyes out, sniffled and took careful steps. “Don’t worry. I won’t be stubborn about this, but I’m really fine. The children and I are all fine.” Her triplets were back for her and Brother Zhai! At the thought of the triplets, Qiao Nan could not wait to rush home to prepare their clothes, shoes, beds, and their nursery.

Her sons and daughter!

By the time the auntie helped Qiao Nan back home, Miao Jing had already been standing by the door, waiting anxiously.

Everyone in the quad had heard the news that the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law was pregnant. As such, it was not out of the norm for Miao Jing to be so anxious. The Zhai family had waited for this child for a long time indeed. But there were others who laughed at the Zhai family. Every family’s daughter-in-law got pregnant and gave birth to children, after all.

It was just a child. Why were they acting as though it was such a big deal? Thinking about how Qiao Nan had neither a good family background nor good education qualifications but had become the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family nonetheless, there were many who felt upset. Apart from having better in-laws, Qiao Nan could not compare to their daughters-in-law in every other way.

However, those who felt that way dared only to think about it inwardly. They dared not voice their thoughts out.

Why?

Because the only thing that they thought that their daughters-in-law were inferior to Qiao Nan was them as in-laws!

“Aiyo, Sister Miao, you don’t have to be so anxious. Qiao Nan is already pregnant. Your grandchild won’t run away.” Hehehe. Qiao Nan was only four months pregnant and it was hard to say whether it would be a girl or a boy. The Zhai family might not have a grandson, but they would definitely have a grandchild.

Then, those neighbors would have something else to trumpet over the Zhai family. When that country b.u.mpkin, Qiao Nan, gave birth to a girl, they would have a good show to watch.

Miao Jing might be old, but she was no fool and was not entirely ignorant about what the neighbor was gossiping about. Miao Jing had not forgotten that that neighbor’s son was a soldier too and they had wanted Zhai Sheng to help their son out several times but the Zhai family had always refused them.

That was probably why that young man had made Zhai Sheng his target and had always tried to surpa.s.s Zhai Sheng. Miao Jing thought that there would truly be something wrong if such a fledgling kid was able to win against her own son. “The chairman once said that women hold up half the sky. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a granddaughter or a grandson. We’ll love them all the same as long as they’re ours.”

“That’s true.” The neighbor smiled sinisterly. It was true that the Zhai family was in no position to care whether their grandchild was a girl or a boy since they had waited so long for a grandchild in the first place. If the Zhai family knew their place and had certain standards, they would never have let such a woman marry into their family, bringing down the name of the entire quad.

“You’re back!” Miao Jing could not even be bothered to entertain her neighbor. They were about to welcome a new life into their family, and her neighbor’s son would never be able to surpa.s.s her own son. These people were only sour that the Zhai family’s lives were getting better by the day. “You’re back. What did the doctor say?”

Seeing the auntie supporting Qiao Nan, Miao Jing tried to take the auntie’s place and stay by Qiao Nan’s side. “Didn’t I tell you to let me know what the doctor said immediately? I was anxiously waiting at home the whole day. That won’t do. I’ll accompany you to your checkup the next time. I might be old but I’m still strong.”

She knew that many of her neighbors in the quad looked down on Qiao Nan’s family background, laughing that she had ruined the reputation of the entire quad. It was such a joke that they still had such old-fas.h.i.+oned thoughts and ideas in such an advanced society. It was clear who really let the name of the quad down.

The auntie was upset at being scolded but she understood Miao Jing’s worries. She had behaved in this manner the first time she had become a grandma too. “Madam, I’ve been taking care of Nan Nan all this time. I didn’t even let her out of my sight for a second.”

Seeing how the auntie and Miao Jing treated Qiao Nan like a fragile vase, protecting her like bodyguards, the neighbor was stunned. Miao Jing must be crazy to pamper a countryside b.u.mpkin like that! They were all women and had all gone through the experience of pregnancy. She did not believe that the Zhai family had treated Miao Jing in this way when she had been pregnant at that time. But Miao Jing was not at all afraid of spoiling her daughter-in-law. Was she not afraid that her daughter-in-law would climb over her head in the future?

Now, the neighbor was sure that Miao Jing had a hole in her head.
