Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If Zhai Xin failed to live up to his trust and made his wife cry, he would personally disown his son!

Seeing that Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang had come to a tacit understanding, Zhai Sheng was in no hurry to do anything. After all, there was no use for Zhou Xing to put in so much effort if Zhai Xin did not cooperate with her. The only thing Zhai Sheng had to do was to ‘educate’ his son. That way, it would not matter how Zhou Xing plotted against Zhai Xin. It would all be in vain.

Zhai Xin, who was helping Miao Jing serve the dishes, suddenly felt an indescribable coldness attack him, and he could not help but shiver. Zhai Xin lifted up his head to take a look around him. It was already Lunar New Year’s Eve, so it did not look as though there was going to be a drastic change in the weather. Besides, he was at home where there were heaters all around. Why was he feeling cold?

Miao Jing saw Zhai Xin standing motionless with a dish in his hands and asked, “Er Bao, what are you doing just standing here? You don’t look too good. Are you feeling sick? Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked?”

It was inauspicious to visit the hospital over the Lunar New Year, but there would be no choice if her grandson was really sick. Thinking about how Er Bao had always been as strong as a bull ever since he was young and had hardly fallen sick, Miao Jing got even more anxious. She was afraid that because Er Bao did not fall sick often, it would get out of control once he did, and it might even cost him his life!

Zhai Xin smiled. “Of course not. I think I just got a muscle cramp. I’m feeling just fine. Grandma, you spent the whole day preparing so much delicious food for me to fatten me up, so how can I possibly feel unwell? Grandma, you’d better go take a seat. I’ll serve the dishes. The old master will surely come after us if you get scalded.”

In a few years’ time, it would be time for Zhai Yaohui to become a great-grandfather and take on the title as ‘old master’.

“All right.” Miao Jing patted Zhai Xin on his firm arms and smiled. Wow, this body was muscular and as tough as bricks. It was just like Zhai Yaohui’s and Zhai Sheng’s bodies when they were younger. The men of the Zhai family were all the manliest of all men. Today, her grandsons were even more outstanding!

Miao Jing was exceptionally proud of having raised two brilliant grandsons. “I wonder which young lady will benefit from your mom’s and my hard work in raising the two of you.”

She was not boasting. Her grandsons were truly the best kids in the courtyard. So many people had hoped that the triplets would grow up crooked, as though heaven was being unfair if the triplets did not grow up crooked. It would be as though everyone good in the world had been given to the Zhai family alone. What did they mean by trees having branches that looked good when they were young but became rotten with age?

The triplets were already outstanding as young children. These people were rather shameless. And to think that they were the triplets’ elders! Since the three children were already doing well as children, they could only hope that the children would change for the worse as they grew up.

Humph. The children of the Zhai family, whether they were young or grown-up, were always that good, that brilliant, so much so that they outshone everyone else.

The Zhai family not only had three good grandchildren. The most infuriating thing was that the children of the Zhai family were so excellent that just one of them could beat three other children. Whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, the Zhai family surpassed all the other families.

Miao Jing actually disliked these gossipmongers. Who were these ‘neighbors’ who were so eager to see her grandchildren turn for the worse? How could they have the cheek to say such things about her grandchildren? Usually, when they bumped into each other, the triplets would even address them as aunties, uncles, or grandma and grandpa. How could these people be so shameless?

If she were really to make a comparison, her days living in Ping Cheng all those years ago in that courtyard were much more comfortable. At least, the people there spoke sincerely. Knowing that the Zhai family had three grandchildren like the triplets, there would definitely be more people who were happy than those who hoped that they would fail.

“Don’t.” Zhai Xin’s expression changed the moment his grandma touched on this sensitive topic. “Grandma, I’m still young and in my second year of university. I intend on joining the air force. I’m going to give my life and time to our great motherland. I don’t have any time to start a relationship too early.”

Benefit a young lady?

What was she talking about?

After that experience with Zhou Xing, if he were to encounter a similar situation in the future, even if the truly only thought about the other party as his younger sister, he would never give her the chance of calling herself his girlfriend. Let alone talk about it with emotions.

“Haha, even if you wanted to, grandma can’t bear to let you go. It wasn’t easy for me to raise you. You should stay at home for a few more years.” Miao Jing was proud of how Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were only getting more brilliant. In no time, they would surpass their outstanding father and godparents!

These were two promising young people.

In the past, the Zhai family usually produced only one chief per generation. If this trend continued, perhaps there might be more than two chiefs per generation in the Zhai family! The state chose talents and did not have a rule that omitted family members of recruited elites. There was no rule that one son of the Zhai family would stand no chance and be eliminated if the other son was chosen. It was not as though one would lose out if the other was appointed.

Once these two Zhai brothers reached that peak, the Zhai family would really take off. No in-laws could be better than the Zhai family, and no sons-in-law could be better than Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin.

Thankfully, these two people filled with potential were still young. As such, only those who lived with them and were familiar with the Zhai family knew about this matter. While Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were still single and available, they tried to enjoy the benefits of their favorable positions and ‘reserve’ these two young lads for their own daughters or even their relatives’ daughters.

The men in the Zhai family were all good and responsible men.

This was not just about finding a responsible and capable husband. It was to find a powerful ally for the whole family. That would be a win-win situation for their daughters and whole families.

Knowing that there was everything to gain and nothing to lose, only a fool would not pay attention to these two Zhai children.

One could only imagine the continuous stream of people with such an idea who visited the Zhai family daily to ask Miao Jing whether Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin had anyone in mind and whether they wanted any introductions to young ladies. Each of them was afraid that they had been a step behind and that Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin had already been claimed by other people.

In this kind of matter, he who strikes first prevails, and he who strikes late fails. action

What if they heard about how good their family’s young lady was and agreed?

Seeing all these people, Miao Jing was indeed proud, yet she was extremely annoyed at the same time. Who were the people who were eager to see the Zhai family’s children mess up and ruin the family name? Was it not these people? Those people who usually spoke ill of Da Bao and Er Bao put on one face. But now, they were revealing their other face!
