Chapter 1852: No Room for Discussion

Zhai Hua was already so smug and arrogant in the Wei family. Whose daughter-in-law could be as cocky as Zhai Hua? And she dared to say that he did not treat her well enough? It was best to be content with what she had and know how to reciprocate. He treated Zhai Hua so well and yet, Zhai Hua said that their relationship was not good? Had her conscience been eaten by dogs?

Zhai Hua rebuked without thinking. “You must be dreaming. I don’t even want to talk about whatever your Wei family has done. Wei De, it’s best to have some self-awareness. I bet you’ve forgotten all those anniversary dates now that we’re married. Do you remember how you promised to spend my first birthday after marriage with me? But after we got married, your promise became a piece of crap, didn’t it?”

The most ridiculous thing was that she had been so moved by Wei De’s crap talk that while everyone had objected to her marriage, she had stubbornly insisted on marrying Wei De. In the end, this was what she received in return.

“That-that’s different.” Those were words he used just to pacify Zhai Hua so that she would agree to marry him. Now that Zhai Hua was already married to him and they even had a child together, there was no need for such things. Since he had been able to capture his prey with just one sentence, there was no longer the need to put on a pretense.

“Except for your person and your heart that are different, there’s nothing else that’s different.” This time, when Zhai Hua wanted to leave, Wei De could not stop her because he had no grounds for doing so.

If Zhai Hua wanted to be petty about it, Wei De did feel rather guilty about it, even though he felt that those words that he had used to coax Zhai Hua before marriage no longer counted. The Wei family remembered what he had told Zhai Hua before marriage: He did not have a good family background, and the Wei family did not have a high status or position.

If they were to compare these qualifications, he would never be able to surpass Zhai Hua. But if he were to get together with Zhai Hua, he would definitely treat her well. He could not help it in other areas, but as long as it was within his control, he would do his best to give Zhai Hua a blissful life. He would never forget their anniversary dates and would let Zhai Hua be happy for the rest of her life.

After marriage, however, Wei De fulfilled not a single thing in that list. Thinking back to Wei De’s earlier declaration, everything made sense. Yes, the Wei family was not in a good place and he could not match up to her, but she had married him anyway. Since she was already his, there was no need to cajole her. Did she really think he would treat her like a princess? She should learn how to be a daughter-in-law!

In this way, Zhai Hua’s only reason for choosing Wei De was no longer valid. Thus, her choice at that time had become a joke. And now, Wei De was even talking about their feelings for each other and their bond as a couple!

What a joke!

Now that they were at the Zhai family’s house, there was no way that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would not know about their daughter sleeping in a different room, separated from their son-in-law. Hearing that her daughter was now sleeping in the room beside her granddaughter’s, Miao Jing’s heart ached. “Old Zhai, why did Hua Hua make such a big fuss at that time? Didn’t we tell her about what would happen? But she refused to listen no matter what we said. I really…”

Now, she was suffering because she had failed to take the advice of her elders.

Facts proved that they had not made a wrong judgment about Wei De. It was true that he would not be the one to bring Hua Hua happiness. But what she had not expected was that her daughter would act as though she had been bewitched, thinking that Wei De was the best in every possible way and that he would be the one to bring her happiness.

No matter how much she disapproved of the marriage, Miao Jing would have been happy as long as her daughter and granddaughter led blissful lives, even if that meant losing a little face. But as her suspicions were proven to be true one by one, Miao Jing was not the least bit happy. In fact, she was so infuriated that she might faint from anger.

Her daughter had distanced herself from her family and had even gotten into a huge fight with Zhai Sheng over someone like that! It was not worth it at all!

“All right. Jiajia is all grown up. There’s no point in saying such things anymore. Wei De might have a hundred or a thousand bad things about him, but there’s one good thing. It’s because of him that we have Jiajia. Jiajia is different from Wei De. I think it’s because she has the blood of the Zhai family that she’s more like a child of the Zhai family.” Zhai Yaohui was much more rational and was unwilling to be caught up in the past. All he wanted was to look to the future.

“I don’t think Wei De decided to bring Zhai Hua and Jiajia here because of his conscience. My bet is that he wants our help in something. I remember that he’s been in this company commander position for quite a long time. Given his ambition, he must want to be promoted.”

His son-in-law was incapable and unable to suffer through hardship. Without any performance worthy of praise within the military, he still wanted to get promoted! Given Wei De’s performance at the annual review, there was no way Wei De would ever get promoted. On the other hand, his name might appear on the list of soldiers to be demoted.

It was probably his status as the Zhai family’s son-in-law that had allowed him to keep his position as a company commander.

He was relying on the Zhai family’s name to hold on to that position of a company commander. Zhai Yaohui could not understand how someone like that had the cheek to demand a promotion. Did he think that he deserved it just because he was a son-in-law of the Zhai family?

If that was the case, he would much rather disown his daughter, Zhai Hua, than let Wei De flaunt his identity as the Zhai family’s son-in-law. That would only ruin the discipline and culture of the military.

“You definitely cannot agree to that. There’s no room for discussion.” Miao Jing disagreed too. At that time, Miao Jing had not been able to convince her daughter otherwise, and her daughter had gotten married to Wei De. But the situation was different now. In the past, her daughter had the greatest say, and that was why she had not been able to change anything and could only watch on helplessly as her daughter married Wei De.

Now, it was Wei De asking the Zhai family for a favor. As such, they would call the shots. No matter what, she would never let Wei De have his way this time. If Wei De really got what he wanted, she might never have the chance to meet her granddaughter, Jiajia, again. In fact, she would only hear more about Wei Wei, that child who had nothing to do with the Zhai family at all.

One could only imagine how Miao Jing felt about having such a disgusting son-in-law.

“Sister Qiao, take a look at this. Is there anything I should take note of? Are these dishes enough? Shall I make more?” Xiao Zhao was busy in the kitchen.

Xiao Zhao had always thought that Zhai Sheng did not have a big appetite. Even if there were guests at home, she thought that she would just have to increase the portion sizes by a little. But when she was about to cook the rice, Qiao Nan instructed her to double the portion sizes!

Upon hearing what Qiao Nan asked for, Xiao Zhao was shocked. She thought that there were more guests coming. Qiao Nan did not give an explanation and simply asked Xiao Zhao to prepare the dishes as instructed.
