Qiu Chenxi hesitated for a moment. “Will this matter be so easily resolved? Will s.h.i.+ Qing be so good?” She did not need to do anything and just wait for s.h.i.+ Qing to settle that woman. She would pick up the ‘ready-made’ success thereafter?
“s.h.i.+ Qing aside, there’s still your uncle. I don’t know if Qing Qing is good, but we can work hard to create this outcome. That’s enough.” Qi Minlan patted Qiu Chenxi’s head. “Chenxi, Mom did so much for you. You must not disappoint Mom in the future. When you encounter a problem, first, don’t panic. Don’t be like Mom in the past. Clearly, there’re room and opportunity for me to work hard, but I gave up and lost everything just because I was stubborn and angry. There’s no use being angry. There’s nothing more important than your own future. Understand?”
Speaking of this matter, Qi Minlan felt regretful.
Many years ago, Old Master Zhai suddenly brought Miao Jing back and insisted Zhai Yaohui to marry her.
At that time, Miao Jing was staying in the Zhai family. Zhai Yaohui did not vent his anger on Miao Jing on the account of giving Old Master Zhai face. His att.i.tude toward Miao Jing was considered quite good, like that of an elder brother.
Qi Minlan had a one-sided wish that Zhai Yaohui would take actions for her sake. She hoped that Zhai Yaohui would target and scold Miao Jing to chase her away in order to protect Qi Minlan’s place in the Zhai family.
Who would have known Zhai Yaohui would say that Miao Jing was innocent and he was thus unwilling to bully Miao Jing? He only wanted to convince Old Master Zhai in a peaceful manner.
Qi Minlan was infuriated and felt that she was not important to Zhai Yaohui, that Zhai Yaohui did not love her enough. Otherwise, she would not have given him such suggestions. Zhai Yaohui himself should have been the one who came up with them and took action.
To anger Zhai Yaohui, Qi Minlan simply initiated a breakup with Zhai Yaohui. She told him that they needed not to see each other anymore and Zhai Yaohui could be an obedient son. He could listen to Old Master Zhai and marry Miao Jing. Wouldn’t that be a happy ending for all?
Qi Minlan, who lost her temper, felt that Zhai Yaohui would definitely look for her thereafter and explain himself. He would then agree to take actions against and force Miao Jing to leave.
Unexpectedly, having not met for a month, the Zhai family simply sent wedding invitations to all their relatives and friends, stating that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would be getting married in two months’ time.
Zhai Yaohui was a soldier. He had to file a marriage report before the official marriage.
Anyway, when Qi Minlan received the news, the wedding invitation of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had already been given out. Moreover, the marriage report had been filed and approved.
As such, the marriage between Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing was cast in stone.
Next, Qi Minlan did the second thing that she would regret for life.
Zhai Yaohui wanted to marry Miao Jing. It was easy for Zhai Yaohui to marry a woman, but similarly, it was not difficult for her to get married to a man. She simply requested Old Master s.h.i.+ to find a partner for her, who turned out to be the Qiu Qin now.
Zhai Yaohui was quick to marry Miao Jing, but Qi Minlan took about half a year to be married to Qiu Qin.
It was only now, when she was much older and her temperament had changed, that Qi Minlan regretted her impulsiveness in the past.
If she did not initiate the breakup and persisted, if she cried out her grief to Zhai Yaohui instead of forcing him, Zhai Yaohui might not have married Miao Jing so quickly. They even gave birth to Zhai Hua.
Zhai Yaohui was so good to Zhai Hua. Similarly, she could also give birth to a daughter for Zhai Yaohui. On what grounds could Miao Jing, who came from the village, become the wife of the chief?!
