This was pretty troublesome, and it was not something that could be easily solved.

Grandma Zhai didnt see a problem covering for the Miao family, but the situation was still rather tense.

What if the Miao family caused trouble for her husband and son?

If that happened, she wouldnt be able to provide much help.

She didnt expect to find a daughter-in-law that could benefit the Zhai family, but she didnt dare to accept one that would potentially harm the family.

Although the Miao family had saved Old Zhai before, it didnt seem fitting as a parent to allow Old Zhai to bring his daughter into the family.

Grandma Zhai wasnt exactly worried about Miao Jings other relatives. She was concerned about her parents.

Old Zhais expression changed. Miao Miaos parents have pa.s.sed away. Her father, a close friend of mine, left this world before Miao Miao was born, and his wife died not long after

Grandma Zhai didnt expect that. Miao Miao, Im sorry to hear that. I didnt mean to hurt you.

So that was the reason.

Grandma Zhai looked at Miao Jing with sympathy. How did this girl live until this day without her parents?

Old Zhai didnt want to dwell in the past. Ill tell you more next time.

He would have told Grandma Zhai everything even if she didnt ask; He didnt want Grandma Zhai to misunderstand anything.

Grandma Zhai nodded. You must be starving. Lets eat for now.

If it werent for all the dirty tricks that Grandma Zhai had to put up with before, she wouldnt have been so doubtful when it came to Miao Jing.

After knowing Miao Jings background, Grandma Zhai felt bad for asking so many questions. What are your favorite dishes? Ill prepare them for you.

Miao Jing was not a picky eater, and she knew she shouldnt be picky when she was a guest. I will have whatever you prepare, Auntie. She was indeed starving.

A simple bowl of noodles was the fastest to prepare, and Miao Jing felt like it was the most fulfilling meal she had ever had.

Grandma Zhai was glad to see Miao Miao enjoying the meal. Miao Miao, You have an older brother that is coming home soon. Ill introduce him to you, and you can look for him if you need anything in the future.

Miao Jings hands froze for a moment. She knew that that person was Old Zhais son, and it was whom Old Zhai wanted her to marry.

After pondering for a moment, Miao Jing spoke firmly. Sure, I will definitely look for my older brother if I need anything. She emphasized the words older brother as she wanted to make it clear to the elders that she didnt want to have anything to do with their son. As a child that came from the countryside, she didnt dare to think about marrying into the chiefs family.

Miao Jing knew her place very well as she was used to being on the receiving end. She had had enough of being treated like a lowly being, so she didnt want to get too close to people that were out of her league.

Grandma Zhai glanced at Old Zhai, who raised his brows at her. Did you think that our son was every girls dream? What about now?

Grandma Zhai was speechless at Old Zhais mockery. Why was he so happy about their son getting rejected?

Was it something to be proud of?

It wasnt Old Zhai that was rejected, so he saw nothing wrong with taking pleasure in his sons misfortune. Most importantly, he had already found the love of his life.

Grandma Zhai was speechless

Zhai Yaohui was about to finish his work, so he was able to return home pretty early. When he arrived at the gate, the guard told him about Miao Jing. Yaohui, Chief Zhai brought a girl with him. Is she your relative? It was the guards first time seeing her.

Zhai Yaohui was confused for a minute before she figured out who it was.

It seemed like she really came to his family.

Zhai Yaohuis initial reaction was the same as Grandma Zhais. He thought that the Miao family wasnt exactly credible as they handed their daughter to someone that theyd only met twice.

Therefore, Zhai Yaohui didnt have a good first impression of Miao Jing.

As Zhai Yaohui stepped into the house, he saw a dark-skinned girl whom he had never met. Her big eyes were bright and sparkling like a pair of beautiful black pearls.

After scanning Miao Jing from head to toe, Zhai Yaohui found nothing special about the girl. If his father really wanted him to marry her, he would reject it by all means.

While Zhai Yaohui was studying Miao Jing, the latter was doing the same.

Zhai Yaohui was taller than most men, and his handsome face was the type that all girls would like.

Miao Jing couldnt help but blush for a second without anyone noticing.

However, when Miao Jing was reminded of his status, the spark in her heart was extinguished right away.

Yaohui, this is Miao Miao. Miao Miao, this is your brother Zhai. Old Zhai introduced them to each other.

Zhai Yaohui nodded without much care, but Miao Jing didnt dare to show any disrespect and greeted Zhai Yaohui with a bow. Afterward, she stayed a distance away from Zhai Yaohui without looking at him again.

Miao Jing kept reminding herself in her heart that he was the son of the chief. If she had any indecent ideas, she might be thrown back to the countryside to live with her uncle again.

Soon, she cleared her mind of any ambiguity as she recognized the position she was in.

Old Zhai glared at Zhai Yaohui. He was ashamed of his son as Miao Miao wouldnt even look at him. Back in the days when Old Zhai was. .h.i.tting on Grandma Zhai, she couldnt even take her eyes off him.

It was Zhai Yaohuis turn to be speechless.

Why did he have a father that loved to mock him so much?

How about I take Miao Miao to shop for some new clothes? Old Zhai had seen the clothes that Miao Miao brought with her. They were filled with patches here and there.

It didnt matter when she was in the countryside, but now that shes in the Zhai family, it was a different story.
