Chapter 1271: A Good Chinese Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1271 A Good Chinese Daughter-In-Law The old master did not have any major birthday celebration this year. This was the same for her in-laws, Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua.The three children's first birthday had just passed. No matter how Qiao Nan thought about it, she could not figure out what other happy occasions there could possibly be.
Upon hearing Qiao Nan's words, Zhai Hua spat the water that she had been drinking. "Qiao Nan, can you say something nice and wish me well. Is it possible that I am getting married?" She did not even have a partner to discuss about marriage with. If there was really such a party, they had to date and talk about marriage first. It was not logical to get married as soon as they knew each other.
Qiao Nan was indignant. "I said that as I hope that good things will come your way. Mom, isn't that so?" Qiao Nan tried to find herself an ally. At the same time, she carried Er Bao into her arms.
Er Bao had rosy cheeks and bright, dewy and jet-black eyes. He seemed to be in better spirits than ever. "Er Bao, what happened to you yesterday? Do you know that you gave mom a bad scare?" Having said that, Qiao Nan planted a kiss on Er Bao's face. Er Bao opened his little mouth and responded by many wet kisses to his beloved mother.
Miao Jing took a deep breath. "Nan Nan is right. I don't mind having more happy events in the family. To me, your marriage is more important. However, Nan Nan, it did not have anything to do with Hua Hua this time. They came to our house to congratulate me because of you."
"Me?" Qiao Nan pointed at her own nose in disbelief. "I have something to be happy about. Why am I unaware?"
"You were on the television yesterday." Miao Jing was finally stung by her conscience. She announced the answer and did not continue to make Qiao Nan guess. "You are on the news broadcasted by the state-owned television channel. Many people saw and recognized you. Hence, they came and congratulate us."
Miao Jing was not young. She did not think much about appearing on television.
There was definitely an opportunity for people like them to appear on television. However, the rate of exposure could not be too high. Also, not everyone could go on television.
The neighbors came to offer congratulations not because Qiao Nan was on television, but because Qiao Nan had the capability to do so.
Qiao Nan, who was feeding Er Bao water, looked puzzled. "On television? I am getting confused. I didn't go on television." She did not have any impression of this matter at all.
Zhai Hua laughed. She could tell that Qiao Nan was truly unaware. "Fortune favors the fools. I'll tell you what happened directly." The Sino-Foreign Exchange this time was a success. When He Yi was playing host to the important foreign guest, he had a casual chat with the guest for a while. The state-owned television channel happened to broadcast that scene in the news. Of course, they did not broadcast the actual content due to confidential reasons.
At that point in time, Qiao Nan, who was standing behind He Yi, had been captured by the cameras in that flash of a moment.
In this kind of situations, the working team typically would not have a chance to appear. Although Qiao Nan only appeared for less than three seconds, those who were smart understood what this implied.
If Qiao Nan had not provided any assistance to the Sino-Foreign Exchange, how could she possibly follow so closely behind He Yi and had the opportunity to appear?
Obviously, no one had forgotten that Qiao Nan was only a year three college student who had not stepped into the society. Given this situation, the fact that Qiao Nan had the opportunity to stand out in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was spectacular. She had done her family proud.
After knowing that the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was so capable despite her lacklustre family background, could those neighbors not come to congratulate the Zhai family and try to become associated with the latter?
In the political arena, the more friends you have, the more options you have in life. In addition, the Zhai family was a powerful figure that they wished to become associated with but could not do so.
After knowing clearly that Qiao Nan was also a capable individual, the more these people wanted to be on good terms with the Zhai family. However, before the Zhai family agreed, these people felt that they could utilize indirect means to achieve their objective. First, they would use Qiao Nan was an excuse. They could cajole Qiao Nan into becoming their good friend. In the future, they could get to know the Zhai family better through their relationship with Qiao Nan.
As such, very quickly, Qiao Nan became the avenue of breakthrough to the Zhai family for these people.
Those who came did not mention about the Zhai family. They only spoke about Qiao Nan. They said that the Zhai family had such good judgment for choosing Qiao Nan. She was an excellent daughter-in-law.
In particular, there were so many children in the quad but Zhai Sheng only had eyes on Qiao Nan. Judging from this, Zhai Sheng was not an arrogant and conceited person who looked down on others. On the contrary, Zhai Sheng had a good sense of judgment in character. He was the first to discover that Qiao Nan was a potential talent.
One flaw could not obscure the splendor of the jade. This was the impression of others on the Zhai family. They felt that the greatest flaw of the Zhai family was to marry a daughter-in-law like Qiao Nan who did not have wealth, power or status. The Zhai family had ruined a chance for themselves to become stronger and more powerful.
Now, the only flaw that was unsatisfactory in the eyes of others had become a strength. Those who would like to be on good terms with the Zhai family only felt more anxious to do so.
The truth had proven that the Zhai family had not been overconfident by thinking that the family was strong enough and it did not matter which woman Zhai Sheng marry.
Ultimately, the Zhai family had discerning eyes who could tell greatness from mediocrity. They could tell that Qiao Nan had a lot of potential.
Qiao Nan gave birth to triplets, with sons and daughter. Many staying in the area had already given her affirmation. They felt that the Zhai family did not pick the wrong daughter-in-law. Nevertheless, with the news broadcasted yesterday, everyone figured out the situation and felt that the Zhai family was extremely capable. Did they know physiognomy? Otherwise, why were they so spot on in choosing the right daughter-in-law?
Given Qiao Nan's family background, families such as theirs would not accept her under normal circumstances.
In the end, the Zhai family did not commit any foolish act but had done a brilliant thing. In comparison, bystanders like them seemed more like a group of fools.
Qiao Nan was not only good at giving birth but also bore such good children.
Today, Qiao Nan even showed her indisputable capability. The neighbors did not have any negative opinions of Qiao Nan, the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family. Instead, they were very envious of the Zhai family for having such a good daughter-in-law.
Qiao Nan came from a humble family and would definitely have a polite manners at home. She would not dare to be rude and disrespectful to her in-laws. She would take care of the Zhai family members carefully and conscientiously.
It was unlike their own family. If their son was blind to a vixen's true colors and they accidentally agreed to let the vixen enter the family, they would not have a good life in the future.
It was not that such situations had not occurred before. There had already been a few of such examples.
There was a young lady who who married into the family. She had a better family background than Qiao Nan. She was the only child and had been doted upon by the elders in her family. Her temper was terrible. The mother-in-law could not teach her well. In the end, the mother-in-law was even hospitalized as she was driven mad by this daughter-in-law.
