Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 2122

Chapter 2122: Afraid of Trouble

Even if she had indeed done so, she would never admit to it. Besides, she had not actually done so!

Qiao Zijin was extremely curious. Her dad had not done anything and neither had she written anything on the parcel. There was no way her mom would have gotten involved either, so how did Qiao Nan know that she was the one who had bought most of the clothes?

Qiao Zijin felt that she had already given her utmost effort this time. She did not dare to be careless or perfunctory in the slightest sense in trying to please Qiao Nan. Not only had she picked out pretty clothes, but she had even spent good money on them.

Apart from her son, Feng Feng, Qiao Nan’s three children were the only ones who enjoyed this special privilege. She was truly willing to regard and treat Qiao Nan’s children as her own. If Qiao Nan were to meet with an accident and pass on, Qiao Nan could put complete trust in her to take care of her husband and three children. She would treat the triplets as sincerely as she treated Feng Feng. They would be no different from her own.

At this time, Qiao Zijin finally understood that one had to lose some things to gain others. If she had cared about money when buying things for the three children, no one would believe that she would treat Qiao Nan’s three children like she did her own biological child if that hypothetical situation were to take place.

It was better to pave her way and make preparations ahead of time. Only then would people believe her in the future.

Seeing Qiao Zijin’s serious face, Qiao Dongliang did not immediately believe Qiao Zijin. He would ask Qiao Nan to confirm it. “Nan Nan, how did you know that your sister bought most of the clothes? I didn’t tell you about it. Do you mean your sister wrote her name on those that she bought?”

Qiao Zijin paid close attention to the conversation, afraid that Qiao Nan would agree and frame her for the sake of attacking her. If she had known that she would get into such trouble, she would have taken a video of her sending out the parcel.

This was the first time Qiao Zijin realized that there could be two sides to the matter. Earlier on, she had been depressed about not being able to tell Qiao Nan about how much money she had spent on Qiao Nan’s children. Perhaps, she had even let her dad get the credit even after spending so much money.

Now that Qiao Nan knew that she had been the one to send those clothes over, Qiao Zijin was still uneasy and became even more unsettled instead. She could not help but wonder if she had accidentally included something that would identify her in the parcel. That was why Qiao Nan had realized that she had paid for a portion of the clothes.

If that was the case, Qiao Nan and her dad would definitely misunderstand that she had done so on purpose. And of course, Qiao Nan would never make up with her just because of those clothes. If her dad were to misunderstand and think that she harbored ill intentions, he would never help her in the future. Then, she would really be in deep trouble.

This concerned her happiness and glory for the rest of her life. As such, Qiao Zijin could not help but feel nervous. She wanted to know what Qiao Nan’s answer would be but was anxious at the same time.

“Oh, it’s nothing much. It’s too obvious from her choice of clothes. It’s hard for me not to know. In the past, she always bought such flamboyant clothes for Feng Feng, but Feng Feng told me that the clothes his mom bought were not very comfortable to wear.”

Did she have no right to accept the clothes from Qiao Zijin? Of course she did!

Ever since she had started working, all of her earnings had been taken by Ding Jiayi to support Qiao Zijin. When Chen Feng had been born, she had never spared the expense when buying or making clothes for Chen Feng since she was his aunt. From a young age, Chen Feng had always worn clothes from Qiao Nan. It was only right for Qiao Zijin to return the favor by sending these clothes over, and Qiao Nan had all the right to accept them.

It was just that she knew that her children would not be comfortable in the clothes that Qiao Zijin had picked out, so there was really no point in accepting them. In the past, she had had to coax Chen Feng whenever he threw a tantrum. She would not let her children experience the same pain Chen Feng had gone through. “Children have short tempers and it’s easy for them to get hurt when there are too many accessories on their clothes. There are some clothes that look pretty but are made of stiff and unbreathable materials that are unsuitable for children to wear. Dad, the kind that you bought is the best.”

Qiao Nan said this not to provoke anyone. She had done so simply to explain her stance. “Is it possible to return these clothes? If so, I’ll send them back to you. Dad, don’t let her buy any more clothes in the future. I can’t afford to accept anything from her. All these years, I’ve treated Chen Feng like how his biological mother treats him. It’s just that I don’t want to talk about her taste in clothes.”

Unless one was actually a peacock, one would never take a fancy to such shiny clothes.

“Oh, I see.” Now that Qiao Nan had said so, Qiao Dongliang seemed to have some impression. When he had seen Qiao Zijin paying for that pile of clothes, Qiao Dongliang had thought it was a little strange. But that had been Qiao Zijin’s first time paying for anything for Qiao Nan. It was truly not easy for Qiao Zijin, who thought of money as the most important thing in her life, to spend so much money on her own accord. Unless Qiao Zijin was willing to do so, there was no one who would be able to convince Qiao Zijin to do so. As such, Qiao Dongliang could really tell that it was not just talk that Qiao Zijin wanted to make up with Qiao Nan. She had proven her intentions through her actions.

Now that Qiao Nan had mentioned it, Qiao Dongliang suddenly remembered why he had thought that it had been strange. That was because the clothes that Qiao Zijin had picked out were completely different from those that the shopkeeper had recommended to him.

It was just that those clothes were shiny and bright and looked rather vibrant and lively. That was why Qiao Dongliang had not thought too much about it then. Now that Qiao Nan had told him that those clothes were uncomfortable to wear, Qiao Dongliang came to a sudden realization. “So that’s the case. Right. You’re right. There’s no need for newborn clothes to look pretty. It’s much more important for them to be comfortable. I’ll tell your sister off later. She’s been a mother for such a long time, but she doesn’t even have as much experience buying clothes for children as you do. Don’t worry. She won’t make the same mistake next time.”

“…” Qiao Nan was rendered speechless for a while. Was there going to be a next time? She had hoped that this time had not even happened and that this was nothing more than a ridiculous dream that she had had during her afternoon nap.

Just like the property deed of the courtyard, Qiao Nan had all the right to accept these things. After all, she had been the one to repurchase the Qiao family’s courtyard with her salary. But what Qiao Nan hated the most was the endless trouble that came along when she took back what rightfully belonged to her.
