Chapter 1260 - Punish Ourselves for Other People’s Mistakes (1/2)

“You will understand this just by looking at your own situation. If not for the sake of having a child, you can’t even be bothered about men anymore.”

“Regarding having a child, Wei De already has a son: Wei Wei. His parents already have a grandchild. Wei De already has someone to pa.s.s down the family line. Will the Wei family feel anxious for Wei De to find a woman to marry? Let’s talk about a disgusting situation. Didn’t that sister of Wei De also come to Ping Cheng? Wei De is lacking neither son nor woman. Wei De’s sister can also help Wei De in something that an ordinary woman and wife can do for him. Why would he marry at this point unless the woman is someone like you who can help Wei De? Otherwise, he would have ruined his own path to wealth then, no?”

Wei De did not lack a son or a woman. He only lacked the opportunity to rise in the ranks and become wealthy.

He was not capable. Hence, the only way to fulfill this wish was to marry a wife with a good birth status and family background. He would rely on the in-law family’s help then.

As Zhai Hua had been unhappy with Tian Dong’s performance, she had slight thoughts of softening her heart in order to be at odds with herself or Tian Dong. Nevertheless, she had abolished this intent totally after listening to Qiao Nan’s wise and earnest advice.

At that time, Zhai Hua only asked Qiao Nan one question. “If I don’t get married and don’t have a child forever, will you let the triplets support me when I grow old?”

Chinese are so traditional in their thinking.

Qiao Nan replied to Zhai Hua, “It’s never a problem to support you when you grow old. I am most concerned that you don’t have someone by your side then.”

Qiao Nan’s words made Zhai Hua feel sour. She also calmed down at the same time.

Yes, she had three niece and nephews. She was not worried that no one would support her when she was old. She was only worried that no one would accompany her.

However, there were so many man-made or natural calamities nowadays. Some illnesses could not be cured and some were terminal cancers. Despite being married and having children, most people did not have anyone by their side when they were old. Were they going to live on then?

She was the daughter of the Zhai family. Since these people could continue with their lives, why couldn’t she?

By the time she was old, the triplets would definitely have gotten married and they would have their own children.

At that time, she did not need anyone to keep her company. She would ‘kidnap’ the children of one of the triplets and raise them. It was similar to what the old master did in the past. That seemed fine too.

Her grandmother had pa.s.sed away early and the old master had been alone. Earlier on, when she and Zhai Sheng were still in Ping Cheng, the old master insisted on staying in the countryside and refused to stay in the city. He wanted to mix around with his former war comrades. The old master did not seem to be having a difficult life either.

If she could be like the old master and live her life such that she was as healthy and energetic as the youngsters, she would be very happy.

Since she had resolved her last concern, Zhai Hua did not give up on herself. Instead, she was freed. She might as well not trouble herself over marriage anymore. As such, she cast Tian Dong and Wei De aside.

If she had not heard a few wicked soldiers scolding her for being inhuman and being an old woman left on the shelves, Zhai Hua would not be in such a bad mood.

However, Zhai Hua would let whoever made her unhappy experience unbearable suffering.

Come on! Let’s harm each other and see who would bow first!

At the mention of Tian Dong, the initiator of all these, Zhai Hua found it hard to calm down. She immediately flared up. In addition, a sinister and murderous aura surrounded her. Her face was as black as a female Rakkhasa[1].
