Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 2026

Chapter 2026: Thought of Ideas

If Qiao Dongliang was willing to manage Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin more, Qiao Nan wouldn’t have led such a painful life for the past forty years. Even if she was married to Zhai Sheng now and seemed to have a good life in the future, it wasn’t because of the Qiao family’s harshness to her that gave her a chance to have a life filled with happiness. She had achieved happiness by her own efforts.

As such, Qiao Nan marrying Zhai Sheng and the pain that the Qiao family brought to her were two different matters. Qiao Nan didn’t feel that she should forget all her sufferings from before and treat the three people from the Qiao family as relatives just because she achieved happiness. She didn’t feel that as long as Qiao Zijin wasn’t too overboard, she should still help if she can since she was her sister.

Apologies, but there was no such reasoning and living standards in her world. Regardless of whether Qiao Zijin was overboard or not, she couldn’t be sisters with her anymore. After all, Qiao Zijin had long done something that was more overboard.

Qiao Dongliang’s words didn’t alleviate Qiao Nan’s indifference toward the Qiao family. “Okay, I understand. If you have something you’re busy with, please go ahead. If there’s a chance, I’ll see you again.” In the face of a relative who was still clear-minded, it was impossible for Qiao Nan not to want anyone from her family.

Qiao Dongliang had said a sentence correctly. If it was her responsibility, she should take it up. If not, she definitely should not do so.

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already at the age of retirement. Qiao Nan felt that she should carefully consider how much living expenses she should give her parents monthly. If possible, she didn’t want to give money directly. She’d rather send items to the Qiao family.

Qiao Zijin was too capable of coaxing. In front of Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were completely lacking IQ. If all the living expenses were directly turned into items and sent to the Qiao family, Qiao Zijin shouldn’t have a way to sell them, right? Qiao Zijin shouldn’t be capable of doing this.

As to whether all the things that she had sent over were used by Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi and if Qiao Zijin got a free meal from them, Qiao Nan didn’t care. Qiao Zijin had already taken away so much money. To be honest, even if she really got a free meal, Qiao Nan felt that this was nothing to be concerned about.

Feeling Qiao Nan’s coldness and indifference, even if Qiao Dongliang was feeling miserable, he could only comfort himself that this was the sin he had created in the past and he deserved to suffer from it. “Oh right, Nan Nan. Your sister was recently inspired and wanted to be a civil servant. They came to find you because of this as well.”

When he was saying these words, Qiao Dongliang was looking at Zhai Sheng. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had the confidence to eye the position of a civil servant because of the relationship with Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family. As such, the Zhai family’s attitude was very important in this matter. Whether Zhai Sheng would anger Qiao Nan because of these matters was similarly the focus of Qiao Dongliang’s concern.

When he mentioned ‘civil servant’, Qiao Dongliang felt complicated in his heart. He was also afraid and felt that it was a slip of the tongue. He shouldn’t have said this at this moment. He should have secretly sent Qiao Nan a message, shared the situation with her, and got her to discuss it with Zhai Sheng in private.

He knew his family situation clearly. The best result he was expecting would never happen. Furthermore, Qiao Zijin had planned to attend today’s wedding and stand in Qiao Nan’s and Zhai Sheng’s way.

In the face of a person who was malicious toward oneself but had to use sincerity and kindness to love this same person, such a saint was really endangered.

Qiao Dongliang wasn’t a particularly smart or shrewd person. He couldn’t hide his idea from Qiao Nan, let alone the person before him, Zhai Sheng. After listening to Qiao Dongliang’s words, Zhai Sheng only stood next to Qiao Nan and had no reaction.

Qiao Zijin had the thought to be a civil servant? It was a pity she wasn’t capable enough.

“If she wants to be one, then go for it. This has nothing to do with me.” Qiao Nan rejected without hesitating. It must be because Ding Jiayi wanted to make use of the relationship with the Zhai family to give Qiao Zijin a back door that she came to find her. She wanted Qiao Zijin to be a civil servant so that she could easily receive ten thousand yuan monthly without doing anything. Not only was Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang Qiao Zijin’s parents now, but even the country and citizens were her parents. As such, all the taxpayers in the country had to fork out ten thousand yuan monthly to provide for Qiao Zijin. How ridiculous!

Ding Jiayi was always straightforward. She said whatever was on her mind and always ordered Qiao Nan around in a tone that implied she had to complete it. Qiao Dongliang was different. He would always use a tentative tone. Although he knew that his thinking was too overboard, he would always bore a ‘what if’ mindset.

What if the Zhai family didn’t mind and what if Zhai Sheng also hoped that by finding Qiao Zijin a stable job, she would find lesser trouble for Qiao Nan in the future? In that case, would Zhai Sheng be willing to help?

The Zhai family didn’t despise the Qiao family because she married Zhai Sheng at the age of forty. Qiao Dongliang could rest assured since the Zhai family treated Qiao Nan like she was their own daughter. At the Zhai family, she could enjoy the treatment which she couldn’t enjoy at the Qiao family.

Qiao Nan married well and had a good husband and in-law family. She didn’t have any motives at all. On the contrary, Qiao Zijin was divorced, her child wasn’t by her side, and she didn’t have a job. A crying child has candy. Even if Qiao Zijin had been extremely unfilial recently, indeed, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t let go of her. He felt that if Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng were willing to help Qiao Zijin now so that she would naturally be able to live without worries in the future, he would die with peace of mind.

He had two daughters. Qiao Dongliang always hoped that both of them could lead a good life. He wasn’t willing to see a daughter living happily while the other gave up on herself. If Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng were willing to take care of Qiao Zijin, even if Qiao Zijin was divorced and didn’t remarry in the future, she could still live better than most people.

However, the premise for this was that Qiao Nan had to be willing. At this time, Qiao Nan’s attitude and thoughts were far more important than Zhai Sheng’s.

No matter if it was Qiao Nan influencing Zhai Sheng or Zhai Sheng making the decision for Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang never gave up the idea of letting Qiao Nan take care of Qiao Zijin more.

Qiao Nan’s cold and indifferent words made Qiao Dongliang realize that he had harbored high hopes. “You feel that this has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t mean they feel the same way. You know their temper. I’m not worried about anything else. I’m just afraid that even if you don’t want to be involved, they would force you to be involved.”

Qiao Dongliang vaguely knew what ideas Ding Jiayi had thought of.
