What had she been thinking? What had she even seen in Qi Minlan to think that she should be part of the Zhai family?

Thinking about her past self, Grandma Zhai could only say that she must have been in an unclear state of mind.

“Mom, stop it.” His mom’s face had been so pale earlier. How could she have gotten better just because Qi Minlan had left?

“I’ll get the doctor over.”

“Do what you like. I’m really feeling fine now.” Grandma Zhai couldn’t care less. “If you really want me to be healthy and live happily, get Miao Miao back. If you marry Miao Miao and give me a grandson, I can die in peace even if I die right away.”

“Mom…” Zhai Yaohui’s expression changed. He hated his mom’s analogy.

Both he and Old Zhai hated it when Grandma Zhai said these words.

“Alright, I won’t say that word. Now, why don’t you tell me when you’ll bring Miao Miao back and get married? You already learned about Miao Miao’s family a year ago. We really owe Miao Miao too much. Besides, I don’t think that it’s repaying kindness by marrying Miao Miao. You’re my son. Do you think your dad and I don’t understand you?”

“Your dad was the only one who thought that way in the past, but now, I agree with him. Yaohui, Miao Miao is really a good girl and she’s suitable for you. If you’re clear about how you feel, you’d better grab this opportunity and not miss out on Miao Miao. If you don’t cherish a good young lady like Miao Miao, someone else who cherishes her will marry her. It’ll be too late to regret it then.”

Opportunities waited for no man.

Old Zhai had wanted to visit the Miao family earlier to repay Father Miao for saving his life.

But because of the ten years of turmoil, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to repay the Miao family by visiting them and might even bring trouble to the Miao family for the third time.

Who would have known that there was no need for the Zhai family to be afraid of anyone after the situation stabilized? Miao Jing was the only one left of the Miao family anyway.

This had always been a huge regret in Old Zhai’s heart. As Old Zhai’s wife, Grandma Zhai’s heart ached for her husband too.

That was why Old Zhai’s and Grandma Zhai’s attitudes toward Miao Jing were different. She was the only one left in the family, after all.

In the past, Grandma Zhai might have thought that this was simply her and her husband’s thoughts. But today’s incidents proved that Zhai Yaohui had such thoughts too.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Didn’t I say I’ll call for the doctor?”

“Go ahead. I didn’t stop you from calling the doctor. Yaohui, Miao Miao is pretty and capable of doing household chores. Now, she even has a job and earns money for herself. Don’t you think that the workers in the factory will soon introduce men to Miao Miao? What if Miao Miao brings her partner over to our house? Should your dad and I help out?”

“Actually, it’ll be good if Miao Miao can find someone who will be sincere toward her and treat her well. Miao Miao’s so pitiful. She lost her family at birth. I’m sure she yearns for a family of her own. I’m not afraid of anything, but I’m afraid that Miao Miao might not see through her husband. But thankfully, she still has us. Even if she can’t judge a person well, your dad and I will be here to help her.”

“…”

“Even if we’re gone in the future, Miao Miao still has you as her brother. Yaohui, promise me that you’ll take good care of Miao Miao and not let others bully her. If Miao Miao gets bullied, your dad and I won’t let you go. You’ll have to take responsibility for it!”

Hearing Grandma Zhai’s words, Zhai Yaohui wondered whether he was indeed their biological son, or whether Miao Jing was their true biological child.

“Mom, stop making such wild guesses. With our family around, no one will bully Miao Miao. Besides, Miao Miao is still young and has just started working. There’s no hurry for her to get a partner. If you really want to get a grandchild, wait another year or so.”

Grandma Zhai disagreed. “I shouldn’t need to wait for a year. You know so many people in the military. There should be good ones, right? I heard your dad say that the Shi family might not be very good, but Qi Minlan has a brother named Shi Peng. Yes, that chap is pretty good, isn’t he? Do you two have any interactions in the military? Do you think he’s suitable for Miao Miao? If we want to protect Miao Miao, we’d better introduce a good man to her before others do.”

He was just reluctant to admit it.

She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to force her son to tell her the truth.

If Yaohui was willing to introduce a partner to Miao Miao, she wouldn’t be Yaohui’s mother from now on.

Thankfully, Zhai Yaohui knew nothing about that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

She was his mother and he was her son. Was his mom crazy?

“Shi Peng is a good man, but he isn’t suitable for Miao Miao.”

“Not suitable?” See, what did she say? “Didn’t you say that he’s a good man? Since he’s good, why isn’t he suitable?”

“His personality isn’t right.”

“What’s wrong with his personality?”

“Mom… He’s just unsuitable. There’s no need for so many questions. It’s just a feeling that I can’t put into words. Of course, if you really want to know, I’ll try my best to tell you why.”

Thankfully, Zhai Yaohui had a quick reaction and indeed thought of several reasons why that man was unsuitable.

Because he hadn’t been able to pinpoint any specific reasons, even Zhai Yaohui himself felt a little guilty and wondered if he had any other ideas toward Miao Jing.

“Look, our family knows all about Miao Miao’s situation. My dad and you are open-minded and don’t mind that Miao Miao is alone. But what about the Shi family? Will the Shi family be as understanding as us and not mind her poor family background?”

It wasn’t that Zhai Yaohui looked down on Miao Jing and thought that she had poor conditions. It was the truth, and he was merely speaking for the majority.

Any family with slightly better conditions would never pick a young lady like Miao Jing who had no familial relations.

It was true that Miao Jing was pretty, but there was no lack of pretty young ladies with good family backgrounds in this world.

No matter what, Miao Jing would never stand a chance.

Unless Miao Jing found someone with similar conditions who wouldn’t pick on such problems.

But the Shi family had good conditions, and Shi Peng was doing well for himself.. That meant the Shi family would definitely be very picky when it came to selecting Shi Peng’s wife.
