Chapter 1698: Believe in Your Son
During the Chinese New Year, the Zhai family gathered together, and the atmosphere was very good. After ignoring Qiao Dongliang for three years, the Zhai family invited Qiao Dongliang to come and celebrate the Chinese New Year with them from the fourth year onwards, and also asked Qiao Dongliang to stay at the Zhai family that night and return on the third day of the Chinese New Year.
With the previous lesson, and Qiao Zijin's death for eleven years. Qiao Dongliang felt sorry for Qiao Zijin's death at a young age, and the fatherly love he could give to Qiao Zijin was only eleven years after Qiao Zijin's death. In these eleven years, he never cut off Qiao Zijin's incense. As for other more substantial things, Qiao Dongliang did not do it again, and he dared not do it.
In these eleven years, Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang have always maintained a tacit understanding: never mention Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi.
On New Year's Eve this year, for the sake of his son Erbao, Qiao Nan took Qiao Dongliang to the study to chat. This was the second time that Qiao Nan showed Qiao Dongliang an extremely serious and earnest expression after Qiao Zijin's death. Qiao Dongliang was shocked and couldn't help but sit up straight: "Nan Nan, what's wrong? Is your mother bothering you again?"
He thought that Ding Jiayi had been doing her duty for eleven years. She was old and might not live for many years. Ding Jiayi should not make trouble again. Could it be that he guessed wrong and Ding Jiayi would be a troublemaker even when she was old?
"This matter has nothing to do with mom. I just want to say hello to you in advance. Dad, you should remember that in addition to Sanbao, you have a granddaughter."
"You mean, Zijin's daughter?" Qiao Dongliang only knew that this granddaughter existed. He didn't know what she looked like, how old she was this year, whether her grades were good, and where she went to school. Qiao Dongliang didn't know that Zhou Xing was not a child who grew up under his eyes. Qiao Dongliang's feelings for Zhou Xing were not as deep as his feelings for Qiao Zijin.
"Yeah." Qiao Nan told Qiao Dongliang about Zhou Xing's plan: "Back then, my life was not bad. At least I was still alive and had the opportunity to study. But I did not live the life that ordinary children lived because of Qiao Zijin. I don't care about how you treat me. I let Qiao Zijin marry into the Zhou family because she was greedy and restless. I think I have done my best for my mother's family. But my three children don't owe the Qiao family anything. If anyone dares to set their sights on my three children, no matter if the other party is my niece or not, I will deal with them, no matter who persuades them. Dad, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand..." Qiao Dongliang's face turned green: "Even if you are soft-hearted and don't care, I don't agree with this. If Zhou Xing and Erbao are really together, what will happen? Isn't that incest?" Nowadays, there are few children, and the relationship between cousins is not much different from that between real siblings. How can they be together!
Not to mention the status of the Zhai family, even if Nan Nan married an ordinary person, he would never let his granddaughter be with his grandson if he encountered such a thing: "I have not read as many books as you, but I also know that such a union is not allowed by law. Not only is it not allowed, but if the two are together and have a child, the child will not be very normal. Isn't this harming people?!"
Harming oneself is nothing, but affecting the next generation is too much!
"I think Zhou Xing is crazier than Zi Jin back then. I said it long ago, your mother is not the kind of person who can raise a child. The Zhou family couple is really confused. How could they give Zhou Xing to Ding Jiayi to raise. Ding Jiayi is Zhou Xing's grandmother, and I am still her grandfather. If Zhou Xing follows me, I will never let Zhou Xing do such a thing, let her have such a terrible and absurd idea."
If Zhou Xing dares to have such an idea, he will break Zhou Xing's legs at the first time, so that Zhou Xing at least cannot implement it.
Back then, he already felt that Zijin was raised wrongly by Ding Jiayi. It was because he felt sorry for Zijin and felt that he owed her that he could not bear to teach Zijin well. Only then would he send her off.
If Zhou Xing really fell into his hands and he was allowed to raise her, he would never make this mistake with Zhou Xing.
Even if it is not the truth, it is still very useful in many cases. The child is disobedient? Beat him until he is afraid of pain. He does not believe that Zhou Xing dares not to change!
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have gone directly to the school to find Zhou Xing. Now, Zhou Xing is bound to go back to Pingcheng to celebrate the New Year with Ding Jiayi. If this child continues to live with Ding Jiayi, he will sooner or later become the second Zijin. Starting next year, I will take care of Zhou Xing. In the future, when the school is on vacation, I will take Zhou Xing back to my home!"
This time, Qiao Dongliang was really angry.
Qiao Nan was not surprised that Qiao Dongliang reacted so strongly to this matter, but Qiao Dongliang's reaction of wanting to discipline Zhou Xing was a little beyond Qiao Nan's expectations.
She thought that after she said that, Qiao Dongliang would not blame her for being ruthless to Zhou Xing when Zhou Xing annoyed her, which was reasonable. Unexpectedly, her father was going to do this ruthless thing himself.
For herself and for the sake of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan knew that it was best to let Qiao Dongliang handle and discipline Zhou Xing: "Okay, Dad, then Zhou Xing, you should take care of this child more. What Zhou Xing will become in the future depends on whether you can be ruthless and turn her around."
Qiao Nan was not sure whether Qiao Dongliang could set things right and take responsibility for Zhou Xing, as he had not been able to do it for Qiao Zijin.
In short, let her father take care of her first, and when her father is really no longer able to control Zhou Xing, it will not be too late for her to take action.
The father and daughter discussed in the study before coming out. After they came out, no one else in the Zhai family asked what they talked about in the study. Zhou Xing's matter was a little sensitive. Qiao Nan did not tell Zhai Yaohui and Miao Liang, but she had already informed Zhai Sheng.
For this reason, Zhai Sheng did not need to ask, and he probably understood in his heart that the father and daughter should be discussing how to deal with Zhou Xing.
In the eyes of Zhai Sheng, the father, if Zhai Xin could not even solve a little Zhou Xing and was confused by Zhou Xing, then this son was really spoiled. The problem is that he did not think his son would be such a fool. What's more, his son has watched his wife grow up since he was a child. Qiao Zijin is not a good thing, and her daughter Zhou Xing is probably not much better.
With Nan Nan as a pearl in front, Zhai Xin can see Zhou Xing's crooked melon and cracked date. Zhai Sheng laughed, what else can he say. It's always the same sentence, he is willing to believe his son.
