Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1468
Chapter 1468: Everyone Was Weird
At that time, she expressed that she wanted to use her salary to buy a small house for her father so that she could fetch him over and take care of him. Her master had thrown tantrums back then.
He had so many houses that he could become a landlord. Her master felt that there wasn’t a need for her to waste this sum of money. Her father could just move in to his house. Not only would she save money, but there would also be someone looking after her master’s house.
However, Qiao Nan was not used to taking advantage of other people. She was bent on the house. Although the house was for her father to stay in, the owner of the house was Qiao Nan.
Even if she had only bought a small house now, Qiao Nan knew that based on the soaring housing prices in the capital, the value of this small house would increase rapidly in a few years’ time. She would earn no less than stocks and it was much safer than stocks. Or perhaps, these two couldn’t be compared at all.
Who asked this to be the capital and that the small house was in a prime location? The houses in 5th Ring Road wouldn’t be cheap in the future. Furthermore, this house was in 3rd Ring Road. Based on this geographical location, it was difficult for the prices not to increase.
One insisted on giving while the other refused to accept. The two of them, who had always been in a good relationship, became anxious and angry over the house. Even if Qiao Nan had already softened her attitude and coaxed Elder Lin, he was still unwilling to accept it and wasn’t appeased. Qiao Nan had no choice but to leave her three children with Elder Lin to coax him. She returned to her in-laws’ place so that she wouldn’t continue to anger Elder Lin. If she caused him to burst a blood vessel, that would be terrible.
That was what happened previously. The problem was that Qiao Nan didn’t have any impression of what their contradiction was about this time around. “Is my master angry over something and thus not willing to see us?” She was the only affected party back then. Now, even the triplets were rejected. Qiao Nan didn’t feel at ease.
How else could Zhai Sheng have answered? If he told the truth, Elder Lin would definitely not let him off. “Don’t think too much. People will always throw tantrums. There might not be a reason for it. Elder Lin’s like an old child. Once he throws tantrum, he’s more unreasonable than a child. I think that Elder Lin will be appeased a few days later. Also, tomorrow’s the triplets’ birthday. If you have any questions, you can ask him then.”
Zhai Sheng didn’t dare to reveal any expression in front of Qiao Nan for fear that she would sense something.
Upon thinking that the triplets’ birthday was tomorrow, Zhai Sheng felt especially terrible in his heart. He was a 1.8-meter tall and big man. He obviously knew that such a situation had happened but he couldn’t think of a solution and had to watch things develop in a negative direction helplessly.
It was very rare for such a useless moment to appear in Zhai Sheng’s life. Once it appeared, it was even more frustrating for him.
It was the triplets’ birthday tomorrow. This meant that after tomorrow, Elder Lin didn’t need to force himself to be strong and tolerate the pain. However, upon thinking that this also meant that the old man, who doted on Qiao Nan and the triplets the most, could ‘leave’ any time after tomorrow, Zhai Sheng hoped that tomorrow would never arrive.
“Zhai Sheng, help me take something from the warehouse. When we don’t use it usually, it’s all over the place. Now that I need it, I don’t know where to find it. There are too many things in the warehouse. I can’t move them alone. Come and help me.”
Miao Jing was worried that Zhai Sheng would expose himself in front of Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was asking more questions and specific details. Miao Jing was afraid that Elder Lin’s condition would be exposed and could only pull Zhai Sheng away.
If it was said that this was Elder Lin’s last wish before he passed away, Miao Jing, who was also an elderly, felt that even if she was upset, she would be willing to respect Elder Lin’s wishes and thoughts.
“I can help as well.” Da Bao put down his schoolbag and wanted to follow along. However, Miao Jing stopped him. “The warehouse’s messy and dirty, full of dust. What can you, a child, do there? Stay here to accompany Er Bao and San Bao. Also, you just came back from school. There’s so much dust. Go and wash your face and hands, then drink some water and eat some fruits. Understand?”
Her eldest grandson was a smart child. Miao Jing had to be careful even in front of Da Bao, let alone in front of Qiao Nan. The triplets had an extremely good relationship with Nan Nan. If Da Bao knew about the matter, it was impossible to hide it from Nan Nan then.
At this moment, the auntie brought out a plate of fruits that contained dragon fruits the triplets preferred to eat. Er Bao and San Bao cheered and pulled Da Bao along to wash their faces and hands. After cleaning themselves up, they ate the fruits.
Da Bao wasn’t that naive. He walked to Qiao Nan and said, “Mom, what’s wrong with master grandpa?” In the past, he was never like this. “I feel that Dad and grandma are a little weird as well today.”
If he helped his grandma in the past, she would always be happy. Even if he eventually wasn’t of help, his grandma would compliment him. Today, his grandma didn’t allow him to help out. This was different from the usual grandma.
After glancing at Er Bao and San Bao, who were foolishly smiling, Qiao Nan gently pulled Da Bao to her side and asked, “You think so as well?” Brother Zhai spent too little time at home. Although Brother Zhai had been promoted, compared to the other soldiers, the time he spent at home was already several times that of ordinary soldiers.
However, in the past, every time Brother Zhai was at home, her mother-in-law would never let him do anything. If Brother Zhai tried to do something at home, her mother-in-law would stop him whenever she could. Furthermore, there were people at home and some things didn’t need to be done urgently. Her mother-in-law would rather Brother Zhai rest more and spend his time accompanying the children. It was strange that her mother-in-law had made the request today for Brother Zhai to help out.
“Yes.” Da Bao nodded. “Mom, I haven’t seen master grandpa for a few days. I miss him.” Da Bao really missed Elder Lin.
Elder Lin was especially good to the three children. Zhai Yaohui was stern and Qiao Dongliang stayed at Ping Cheng previously, thus they interacted very little with the triplets. A few years ago, the triplets didn’t even have an impression of Qiao Dongliang, their grandpa.
What was different was that when the triplets were still drinking milk, Elder Lin had often accompanied them. He played with them, carried them, and touched their little hands. As such, when the triplets started to recognize people, they already showed that they were close to him.
This time around, Elder Lin refused to see anyone. Da Bao felt terrible in his heart. “Mom, does master grandpa not like us anymore?” The three of them were obedient and didn’t get into trouble.
