Chapter 1861: Too Cowardly

The truth was that before Father Wei mentioned this, he had similarly felt that after having Jiajia as a granddaughter, everything would go well for their Wei family. However, today, the Zhai family had kept both Zhai Hua and Jiajia for reunion dinner to celebrate the new year but chased Wei De away. This made Father Wei realize that the Zhai family didn’t change their attitude toward Wei De because of Jiajia’s existence. The Zhai family still looked down on his son, their son-in-law.

After feeling scared, Father Wei couldn’t help but talk to Wei De. “Ah De, Dad’s a useless man. I can’t manage your mom. You spend less time at home, so you have to be careful. If you can’t manage someone like your mom, you have to know what to do in the future if anything happens.”

Her son was the most important to her. Anyone else in front of his wife would just be deemed as people without any status.

An ordinary person had to be scared of her and respect her because she had Zhai Hua as a daughter-in-law. Zhai Hua was from the Zhai family. This meant that she was in-laws with the old chief. Zhai Hua had to be afraid of her and treat her well. She shouldn’t fight back or scold her as she was Zhai Hua’s mother-in-law.

In short, in Father Wei’s eyes, Mother Wei’s lethality was no less than Wei De’s. What was different was that their lethality was not targeted at others but themselves.

Wei De didn’t say anything else. He only looked at Mother Wei and said, “Mom.” Yes, Zhai Hua was bad-tempered and couldn’t tolerate grievances. The Zhai family had treated her so well, but she still complained that she didn’t lead a good life there. His mom treated Zhai Hua badly, yet she could tolerate it until now. The question was how much longer Zhai Hua could tolerate it.

Wei De wasn’t sure what decisions Zhai Hua would make. Since he didn’t have the capital and backbone to leave Zhai Hua and live alone, some things should be paid attention to.

“Okay, okay. I get it. I totally get it. In the future, I’ll treat Zhai Hua and Jiajia as if they are our Wei family’s ancestors. Will that do?” Even if she wasn’t happy or didn’t like it, there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do for the sake of her son.

Hadn’t she already done it once when she first saw Zhai Hua, this old woman?

“Mom, it has been tough on you because of me.” Wei De felt heartache for his mom for having to compromise as a mother-in-law. If he didn’t have the chance to be together with Zhai Hua and Xiaomei was his only wife, his mom could completely treat her daughter-in-law based on her own will and temper.

A mother-in-law was a mother-in-law. She should put on some air in front of the daughter-in-law.

Mother Wei was still feeling a little unhappy before. When she heard her son’s words, her unhappiness disappeared. “It’s not tough at all. For you and Wei Wei, I’m a willing party. Everything is worth it. As long as both of you are well, I won’t say a word even if I have to get down and let Zhai Hua and Jiajia use me as a horse, let alone treat them as ancestors.”

Not only did she want her son to be well, but she also wanted her only grandson to be well. Zhai Hua had not outlived her usefulness yet. If they couldn’t make her bring out all her usefulness for her son and grandson to have a bright future, then their Wei family would really suffer a huge loss.

He had already married Zhai Hua, this old woman, but hadn’t taken any advantage yet. Wasn’t this akin to trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice?

As the Wei family talked about this, Wei Xiaomei knew that in the days to come, she was going to lead a life without a husband again. Even that little bit of sneaky passion would be lost.

Wei Xiaomei felt regretful not because she missed Wei De. Wei Xiaomei knew that if she slept with Wei De, his heart would be biased toward her and her son. Most importantly, on what basis could Zhai Hua snatch her man but she couldn’t snatch hers?

Wei Xiaomei felt a distorted sense of satisfaction when she lived in the house bought by Zhai Hua and slept with Wei De behind Zhai Hua’s back.

It was just that from today onward, she would no longer be able to enjoy such satisfaction anymore.

Qiao Nan didn’t know that after Wei De returned home and got lectured by Father Wei, he became so arrogant that he forgot who the Wei family had relied on to lead such a good life today.

The Wei family had relied on the Zhai family. If the Wei family dared to treat Zhai Hua and Jiajia badly, then they were really complaining that they were leading too good a life.

Qiao Nan didn’t know about these troubling matters. However, after leaving the Qiao family and returning to her in-laws’ place in her dreams, Qiao Nan felt that she had celebrated the new year happily and comfortably.

Of course, it wasn’t only Qiao Nan who was happy. Zhai Hua realized that her daughter was smiling much more and her laughter was louder than when she was in the Wei family. In the past when they were at the Wei family’s house, even if her daughter laughed, it was a plain one without any sound. Back then, she thought that her daughter’s temper was unlike hers, and she was more ladylike.

However, after returning to her parents’ house to celebrate the new year, Zhai Hua realized that she was wrong. Actually, her daughter was pretty similar to her, especially when she laughed. It was a loud and hearty laugh.

“Mom, I’ve already received Aunt Qiao’s red packet. When is uncle going to allow me to call her aunt instead? I must say that uncle is too slow in his actions. They are already celebrating the new year together, so why is he dawdling? I’m going to look down on him soon.” Jiajia became a lot livelier and more cheerful recently, and she dared to talk to Zhai Hua about Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng.

Jiajia held her cheeks. “Every time I see uncle standing next to Aunt Qiao, I nearly can’t stand it. We have people in school falling in love as well. Even though uncle and Aunt Qiao aren’t like my classmates, addressing each other by husband and wife, that type of sweetness when they were together is much more exaggerated than my classmates’. However, it has been a week. I’ve observed that uncle hasn’t even held Aunt Qiao’s hand, let alone progress to the stage where I could address her as aunt!” How weak!

Zhai Hua laughed at her daughter’s laugh. “Don’t say this in front of your uncle. He wants face, especially when he’s in front of the woman he likes. Didn’t you see that your uncle used to look like a block of ice, expressionless and emotionless? After Qiao Nan’s arrival, your uncle changed quite a bit.” At least, he seemed more human now.

She thought that all the men from the Zhai family were like that, just like Old Master Zhai and her father. As such, she didn’t feel surprised at how Zhai Sheng was when she was young.
