Chapter 2330: Very Good Taste (1)

The four children could chat for twenty minutes at once. Even the adults were speechless. It was truly wonderful that Jiajia could chat with the three children for such a long period of time.

Speaking of Jiajia, Zhai Sheng frowned. “When Jiajia’s here, keep a closer watch. I feel that Jiajia has been spending too much time with Zhai Hua recently that she’s been led astray. The triplets can’t be as crazy as Jiajia.”

Zhai Sheng’s evaluation of Zhai Hua had never been particularly high. After Zhai Hua insisted on marrying Wei De, Zhai Sheng felt that Zhai Hua didn’t have a high IQ. Jiajia was initially such a nice and clever child. After hanging out with Zhai Hua, her biological mother, a lot, she seemed to have contracted Zhai Hua’s stupidity.

Miao Jing rolled her eyes at Zhai Sheng. “If Hua Hua hears your words, you siblings can get ready for another fight again. Who wouldn’t think that their child is the best? Jiajia’s still an obedient child. Why is your evaluation of Jiajia so low? You should be thankful that I’m old and don’t have the energy to take care of you like when I was young. Otherwise, I would have gotten the auntie to find the feather duster so that I can give you a good beating. Is there any uncle like you who says that of his own niece?”

Miao Jing might not be as close with Jiajia as she was with the triplets. After all, the triplets had grown up with Miao Jing, whereas Jiajia didn’t have a lot of time to interact with Miao Jing. Because of what happened in the past, Miao Jing had missed out on Jiajia’s growth process. To that, Miao Jing felt like she owed her a lot.

Upon hearing how Zhai Sheng evaluated Jiajia and that he was afraid Jiajia would lead the triplets astray, Miao Jing had the mood to beat Zhai Sheng up.

Zhai Sheng felt helpless. He didn’t despise Jiajia or say that she was a bad child. However, Zhai Sheng wasn’t specifically sure what caused Miao Jing to become angry.

In the end, Qiao Nan helped Zhai Sheng explain things. “Mom, don’t be angry. Brother Zhai doesn’t mean anything else. You shouldn’t know that there’s a popular saying on the internet now, right? It’s called giving birth to a child for the sake of having fun. Jiajia prepared a lot of things for the triplets, like a princess dress and the clothes of a prince. She seemed to want to play cosplay with them at a young age. The triplets are still young. How would they know all of these? These are all Jiajia’s interests.”

Zhai Sheng was worried that his niece would play too much with his children.

Zhai Sheng was a man in all seriousness. After knowing that Jiajia bought those messy and expensive clothes for the three children, he disapproved of them. Aside from occasional fun, such bright and s.h.i.+ny costume-like clothes were not suitable for everyday wear.

Whoever wore this as everyday wear would definitely be regarded as crazy.

Jiajia was already a high school student. Even if she was stressed, she couldn’t relieve her stress by playing with his three children. Playing like this was a waste of both time and money. On the surface, Zhai Sheng looked like a strict father torturing his three children. However, that wasn’t considered torture. He was just training them. On the contrary, if Jiajia really played with the triplets in this manner, Zhai Sheng would definitely not allow it. He was afraid that his three children would play too much with his niece.

Qiao Nan’s thoughts were much simpler. She heard from Zhai Hua that Jiajia’s thoughts were filled with her younger brothers and sister so much that it was like she was possessed by the devil. They had to think of ways to help Jiajia, a high school student, concentrate on more serious things. If Jiajia’s wishes came true and they played too hard, it would be more difficult for Jiajia to withdraw her concentration from the triplets.

As such, what the couple didn’t understand was how Zhai Hua thought as a mother. They were just Jiajia’s uncle and aunt, but they cared so much about her studies. Why was it that Zhai Hua could spoil Jiajia so much? No matter how expensive these clothes were, she didn’t care and just bought them so that Jiajia could be happy. It was alright no matter how scattered Jiajia’s thoughts were or how much they were unfavorable to her studies, as long as Jiajia was happy.

It was unknown if Zhai Hua had the mentality to make up to Jiajia after the divorce as she had caused her to become a fatherless child. Seeing the mother-daughter pair in such a state, Qiao Nan was quite worried and afraid that things would develop in the opposite direction when they became extreme. As such, Qiao Nan had chatted with Zhai Sheng before to see if he could find a chance to have a good chat with Zhai Hua and take care of her current situation. If things didn’t work out, she could arrange for Zhai Hua to see a psychiatrist so that she could be enlightened.

Jiajia wasn’t a three-year-old child. She was supportive of Zhai Hua’s and Wei De’s divorce back then as well. As such, something was wrong with Zhai Hua’s att.i.tude. If this continued, the situation would change into something dangerous.

After hearing Qiao Nan’s explanation, Miao Jing understood where Zhai Sheng’s evaluation of Jiajia came from. Miao Jing was a little embarra.s.sed for misunderstanding her biological son as she was too nervous over Jiajia. “Why didn’t you tell me this situation earlier? Hua Hua is at fault as well. She shouldn’t have pampered her child in such a manner. Jiajia’s young. As a student, it’s most important for her to study hard. Even if we don’t place a lot of importance on Jiajia’s grades in school, it’s not wrong for her to be more serious in her studies. A student should have the att.i.tude of a student. It’s not good for her to be so distracted.”

Miao Jing was only happy that Jiajia liked the triplets. She was thinking that as long as Jiajia had a good relations.h.i.+p with the triplets, even if she and Zhai Yaohui pa.s.sed away in the future, she didn’t need to worry about Zhai Hua and Jiajia anymore. Furthermore, they never thought that Zhai Sheng would have no conscience and just watch from the side coldly if Zhai Hua were to run into any trouble in the future.

It was just that if the four children from the next generation of the two families had a good relations.h.i.+p, it would naturally be better as their relations.h.i.+p would be stronger and more stable.

It was understandable for her as an elderly to dote excessively on her favorite grandchildren. Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui were very reasonable old people. Once they knew that their son and daughter-in-law were doing this for Jiajia’s good, how would they have any other opinions? They naturally agreed with them.

Although she was not only a mother with a son and a daughter but was also a grandmother, Miao Jing knew that she always had a problem. From being a mother to a grandmother, she had always been confused. Her son and daughter gradually grew up. However, she didn’t seem to have contributed much and they had just grown up by themselves.

She was an unsuccessful mother. As a grandmother, she didn’t have much experience of raising a child to share with Zhai Hua, her daughter.

What made Miao Jing feel relieved was that her son had good taste and married Qiao Nan. Miao Jing felt that Qiao Nan knew how to be a mother and was a woman naturally born to be a mother.
