Chapter 694 - Beg Someone Else Instead (1/2)

Chapter 694 Beg Someone Else InsteadAs a daughter-in-law, she could not possibly let the elderly leave the world with regrets, could she?

“So serious?” Zhai Sheng lowered his eyelids.

“Yes!” She had given all the money that she had on hand to Wei De for his mother’s surgery. Not a single cent of it was left. Could it not be serious?

“If his mother is really so ill, even if I pull the strings for him, will he be able to rise to the position of company commander, marry you, give birth to a child at the fastest speed, and even ensure that the first grandchild is a son when his mother is alive?”

“No, no, no. It’s not like that. Wei De is a solider. He doesn’t have the outdated thinking of favoring males over females. Even if it’s a daughter, he will love her all the same.” Zhai Hua had seen many families who favored males over females. Hence, she was very concerned about this aspect.

Zhai Hua felt the Zhai family also had such biased thinking.

Otherwise, why would her parents give birth to Zhai Sheng after her?

After Zhai Sheng was born, her grandfather was very good to Zhai Sheng. He was more enthusiastic to impart his capabilities to Zhai Sheng than to her.

Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were on very good terms. They were also biological siblings. Hence, Zhai Hua felt that there was no need for her to take these issues to heart.

“Then, have you a.s.sessed the duration that I mentioned just now? Given Wei De’s current situation, he wishes to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a company commander. Even if he’s very lucky and makes many contributions quickly, it’s impossible to achieve this objective in less than three to five years. After you give birth, that will be six years later. If his mother’s illness can drag on for six years, I can promise you that he can come and ask for your hand in marriage when he’s a platoon leader. He doesn’t even need to wait until he a.s.sumes the role of a company commander. What do you think?”

“You, at the end of the day, you just refuse to help me, right?” Zhai Hua stomped her feet in anxiety.

Wei De was also strong-tempered. He was not willing to let her help. She had spent a great deal of effort to convince him to let her do so.

She had settled Wei De. Never did she expect that things would go so awry at Zhai Sheng’s end, when Zhai Sheng should be the one that was the easiest to handle. She had already promised Wei De. What if Wei De misunderstood her or flared up if she failed at this?

Instead of feeling angry, Zhai Sheng laughed. “Having said so much, you just want to let Wei De take the easy route and help him pull strings, don’t you? Zhai Hua, it seems like you’re not that confident about Wei De. Or perhaps, the truth is that he doesn’t have much capability. He can’t even a.s.sume the role of a platoon leader through his own effort in three to five years’ time. Zhai Hua, you have really taken a liking to a ‘talented’ soldier!”

“You!” Zhai Hua was so angered by that sarcasm of Zhai Sheng that she was speechless. “Fine. Take it that I’m wasting my breath. If you don’t help me, so be it. I don’t believe that Wei De and I can’t get married soon without your help!”

“Fine!” Zhai Sheng looked relaxed. “Then, Wei De and you have to put in more effort.”

When Zhai Hua left Zhai Sheng’s bedroom, she slammed the door loudly, creating a big commotion.

Zhai Yaohui, who coincidentally came out from the study room, heard the loud bang when the door closed and frowned. “Zhai Hua, how did you close the door!”

The house rules of the Zhai family did not allow Zhai Hua to behave in such a way, such as slamming the door so hard. Even when Miao Jing was angry previously, she did not slam the door this hard.

“I, my hands were suddenly…” Zhai Hua’s face turned pale. She only felt that she had been down on her luck today.

She had already promised Wei De. She thought that, given her relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Sheng, Zhai Sheng would definitely help her if she were to make this request.

Furthermore, after she was married to Wei De, Wei De would be Zhai Sheng’s brother-in-law. Everyone would belong to the same family in the future. Actually, the Zhai family would eventually benefit as well if they were to help Wei De more.

She had never expected that Zhai Sheng would reject her flatly without hesitation as soon as she brought up the matter.
