Chapter 1272: Narrow-Minded

Chapter 1272 Narrow-Minded Comparing these two daughters-in-law, even a fool would know that Qiao Nan was the right choice.The situation was already as such when that lady had a better family background than Qiao Nan. If they were to find one that had a comparable family status, there would not be any mutual respect. They would be extremely spoiled and difficult to get along with.

Many people were beginning to hesitate. When their son grew up and started to look for a marriage partner, should they simply ask him to use Qiao Nan as a reference and find someone similar to her?

Fortunately, these people dispelled such thoughts very soon.

Although there were adverse scenarios for some of the cases, there were occasionally good instances too.

They might not end up finding someone like Qiao Nan who was so capable and good at bearing children. On the contrary, the other party might be a bad-tempered and dim-witted one without any merits. That would be unbearable then.

At the thought of such scenarios, this group of normally tough aunties also could not help shivering. They refused to continue with such thoughts.

As for those families with a daughter and no son, they were glad that they only had ladies in the family.

In short, all the neighbors who had a fleeting glimpse of Qiao Nan in the news last night came to the Zhai family to give their congratulations.

Coincidentally, the state-owned television channel was having a repeat broadcast of yesterday's news at that time.

When the neighbors pointed, true enough, Miao Jing sighted her own daughter-in-law's extremely attractive and bright face on the television.

At that time, Er Bao, who was in Miao Jing's arms, became excited all of a sudden. It was as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

He clapped and pointed to the television. "Mom!" He had said before that he saw his mother on the television last night. However, no one believed him at that time.

It was only until this moment that Miao Jing realized the reason that Er Bao suddenly shouted 'mom' yesterday.

So, it was because of this news broadcast.

In the end, Miao Jing spent one hour happily sending away these 'affectionate' neighbors. She then patted Er Bao's buttock. "You're a naughty little one. Do you know that your mother did not sleep much last night because of you? You slept so well and are playing happily now. Look at how your mom will deal with you when she comes back later."

She did not expect that Er Bao, this grandchild, would be so smart and eccentric. How old was he?

He had shouted for his mother while pointing to the television. They did not notice or pay attention to it. Hence, Er Bao kicked up a fuss as he felt that he had been ignored. He looked so pitiful. It was completely opposite to his energetic and high-spirited self. He gave all the adults a scare, didn't he?

Even the old master did not sleep well for an entire night. When he woke up, he listened carefully to a possible commotion in his daughter-in-law's bedroom upstairs. He was very worried for Er Bao, his great-grandson.

At the thought of Er Bao sleeping so soundly and sweetly last night, Miao Jing could not help hitting his little buttock a few times.

Er Bao, who was totally oblivious to what was happening, stared at his grandmother, wide-eyed and puzzled. He had not even done anything. Why did his little buttock have to suffer?

After listening to Zhai Hua's explanation, Qiao Nan, the biological mother, also gave Er Bao a bite, leaving a deep bite mark on him. Er Bao grimaced unhappily. He wiggled his buttocks and buried his face in his mother's arms, refusing to come out.

His grandmother and auntie bullied him. Now, his mother also bullied him?

Didn't they take advantage of the fact that he was small and did not have the ability to retaliate?

He snorted. He had to eat more and grow up quickly. Who would dare to bully him in the future then?

"Naughty little boy." Carrying the chubby Er Bao, Qiao Nan finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't scare Mom like that anymore. It's just a piece of news and you made a mountain out of a molehill. When your dad comes back, I'll get him to train your guts and make all of you bolder".

The triplets were not very daring. She was afraid that if such things occurred frequently, she would have more things to fear.

Zhai Hua sat beside Qiao Nan and placed her arms around the latter's shoulder. "I really can't tell. You're quite capable and went on television so soon. How can the other newbie at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not feel affected? Outstanding people will always be hounded by others. It's not that sister wants to scare you. Nan Nan, be careful in your dealings in the future. Henceforth, there will definitely be a few people who will look out for the chink in your armor."

There were many such people who did not focus on their own work and were waiting for others to make a mistake all day long so as to catch a handle of others.

Zhai Hua joined the army a year earlier than Zhai Sheng. At that time, Zhai Yaohui was not by her side. Initially, not many people were aware that Zhai Hua was Chief Zhai's daughter. Zhai Hua had encountered many of such matters at that time.

At this very moment, as someone who had been through this, Zhai Hua reminded Qiao Nan to be on her guard and look out instead of waiting for things to happen.

In response, Qiao Nan curled the corners of her lips, giving a wry smile.

Zhai Hua was amused and raised her brows slightly. "What? You've already encountered a problem?" She did not sound concerned at all. That tone of gloating was obvious. She was asking for a scolding.

Knowing Zhai Hua's wicked humor, Qiao Nan fulfilled Zhai Hua's wish for once. "I've encountered this on the first day of my internship. There are always people in the world who think that they can rightfully get in through the back door because their family is capable. On the other hand, they think that others who got in through the same way resorted to deceptive means. These are unfair and small-minded people who are detested by everyone. No one wishes to be associated with them."

At the end of her speech, Qiao Nan was talking pedantically.

Zhai Hua happily crossed her leg, sat on the sofa, and looked at Qiao Nan enthusiastically. "May I ask who this warrior is?" He was very daring and would command admiration.

Hearing Nan Nan's tone, she seemed to be almost driven mad by this person. "Is it a male or female?!"

"You've already described him as a warrior. Tell me. Is it a man or a woman?!" Qiao Nan held her forehead. This was a grown-up man, yet he had double standards. He was strict to others and lenient to himself. It was really unbearable. "The most terrible thing is that his office table is facing mine. The day before, senior tasked me with a mission. He had not been given any and could only watch by the side. At most, he only helped buy soy milk for my senior. He glared at me for half an hour because of this."

Qiao Nan did not wish to talk about this.

Thankfully, she and Deng Wenchang did not get along too well during their first meeting. Otherwise, whoever saw this situation might misunderstand that Deng Wenchang was harboring any thoughts on her.

Sorry, she was someone's wife and also a mother of three. Military marriage in China was protected by law!

"Pfft..." Zhai Hua spat again. "He's a man—a grown-up man. He is so narrow-minded and lacks foresight. How did he get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
