This time was different. When Zhai Sheng heard that she was worried about Jiajia, he even went along with her to take a look.
The Qiao family's situation was a mess, but the Wei family's situation was no better. There was a scandal in the Qiao family. Wei De had Wei Xiaomei, a sister who gave birth out of wedlock, and Wei Wei, a fatherless nephew. So what if the Qiao family had a scandal? This wasn't caused by Qiao Nan, and the scandal had nothing to do with Qiao Nan.
Wei De blushed."What do you mean by this? Are you looking down at our Wei family and think that our Wei family can't be compared to your Zhai family? Do you find that our Wei family has been giving your Zhai family trouble? Zhai Hua, do you have a conscience? Are you insane? I'm your husband. To you, Qiao Nan is just a stranger. For a stranger, you're saying bad things about your in-law family? We are celebrating the new year soon. Zhai Hua, don't think that I'll be afraid if you return to the Zhai family. You want a fight, huh? Do you think you have a lot of backing if you return to your own family?"
"I have backing all along!" Zhai Hua laughed coldly."Not admitting that the Wei family is troublesome? Sure. This means that I don't have to say anything to my dad and Zhai Sheng for your matters, right? You can settle them on your own? That's pretty good, then. Indeed, the Wei family is not troublesome. As for Qiao Nan, although my relationship with her isn't deep yet, she will have to call me sister not too long later."
"You!" If it was said that Zhai Hua had a lot of confidence and backing, then Wei De was obviously lacking in these aspects. It was impossible for him not to find his father-in-law and brother-in-law for help. If the two of them didn't help him, the coming promotion would be none of his business.
"Hua Hua, it's such a good day today. Can we not fight? Husband and wife should be of one mind. As long as the two of us are good together, I believe there's nothing we can't do. Everything I've worked hard for is for the both of us. It's to prove that your choice back then wasn't wrong, and it's also for Jiajia's future."
At this time, aside from displaying weakness, there was nothing else Wei De could do.
The more Wei De did this, the more he hated Zhai Hua in his heart. He felt that Zhai Hua was useless except for her background. She couldn't even be compared to Wei Xiaomei as she had no virtues of a traditional Chinese woman.
In ancient times, people abided by the three obedience and the four virtues. He felt that this was still a necessity now. Look at how considerate Wei Xiaomei was. She knew that for his future, she had to take on the blame of giving birth to a son out of wedlock. She obviously knew that Xiao Wei hated her because of this situation. However, Xiaomei never told Wei Wei that he was actually his father.
Wei Xiaomei had suffered so many grievances because of him, but she never uttered a word. On the contrary, ever since Zhai Hua married him, she had never been good to him wholeheartedly.
Based on the position Zhai Hua held in the Zhai family, would he still not be promoted to deputy battalion commander today if she was really dedicated to him? He should have long fulfilled his life-long dream of being a regiment commander. He really felt that he was very unlucky to have a wife who wasn't of one mind with him.
If Zhai Hua wasn't the Zhai family's daughter, how would he have married Zhai Hua, a woman who wasn't feminine and considerate? Even Wei Xiaomei was more attractive than Zhai Hua.
Wei De was still looking fierce just now. However, upon the mention of promotion to deputy battalion commander, he immediately admitted defeat and apologized. How could he stay angry? The more Wei De was like this, the more disappointed Zhai Hua felt in her heart.
She wasn't blind. How could she not see the dissatisfaction and anger in Wei De's eyes? Wei De didn't feel that he did anything wrong. He was strict with others and lenient toward oneself. In his opinion, the Wei family's matters weren't troubles. Those were their own family matters, and she had to try her best to resolve them without any disdain.
The rest was just a bunch of poor and pathetic people here to take advantage of their family. Wei De looked down on these people, thinking that these people couldn't be compared to the Wei family. When did the Wei family become so high and almighty? Why didn't she know about it?
He didn't feel that he was in the wrong but admitted his wrong to her. Besides, it wasn't because of his feelings for her. Words could no longer describe the disappointment in Zhai Hua's heart."Forget it. Some things shouldn't be said but done."
"Where are you going?" Seeing that Zhai Hua was leaving, Wei De hurriedly pulled her back.
"Both of us are in a bad mood today. You're right. This is the Zhai family, my own family. Upon returning to my own territory, I do have a lot of backing. Furthermore, the Zhai family is big. There are plenty of rooms. This conversation isn't pleasant at all. Seeing that you're irritated, I need to calm down. Let's sleep separately today."
Zhai Hua curled her lips and mocked herself with the last sentence.
Sleep separately? When Wei De was in the army, she was usually at home with her daughter. The chances of the couple sleeping together on the same bed in a year were very slim. Only then did Zhai Hua understand why her mom used to chase after her dad when she was young. fr𝘦𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋𝘯oѵeƖ - 🅽🅽novel
At that time, the Zhai family already had conditions.
There were both elders and children in the family. She couldn't join the army. Her mom didn't need to be in the army anymore. Her dad didn't spend a lot of time in the army but had a lot of business trips. If her mom didn't take more initiative, it wouldn't matter much whether her dad still had to stay in the army or fly around for business trips. In the end, her mom wouldn't be able to spend much time interacting with her dad. As such, her mom could only take more initiative.
You win some, and you lose some.
Her mom managed to interact more with her dad, but she naturally had to sacrifice the time spent with her children. This caused her relationship with Zhai Sheng and the rest not to be as harmonious as how it should have been.
She was in the same predicament. She spent less time interacting with Wei De but had gotten close to her daughter. Thus, she had long lost the feeling she had for Wei De back then. Similarly, Wei De was getting more impatient with her. Only when he needed her help would his tone become softer. Zhai Hua knew everything in her heart clearly.
"You! If you do this, what would your parents think of me? What would brother-in-law think of me? They would think that I've mistreated you and that our relationship isn't close." The Zhai family didn't like him to begin with. If the Zhai family misunderstood that he didn't have a close relationship with Zhai Hua, it would be considered good if he could still retain the position of a company commander, let alone a deputy battalion commander.
Picking up her clothes, Zhai Hua glanced at Wei De."They don't have to think. Do you think we share a close relationship?"
"Of course!" Like what his mother had said, nobody would want a woman like Zhai Hua. He was the only good-hearted one who was willing to accept her. In the Wei family, Zhai Hua had the final say. If Zhai Hua wanted to buy a house, they would buy a house. If Zhai Hua said to leave the house in Jiajia's name, he had no objections and even took the initiative to support Zhai Hua.
It was his Wei family, but Zhai Hua always had the final say.
