Chapter 1508 - Pot Calling the Kettle Black (2/2)

The three children said that they had grown up and were old enough to take care of themselves. They did not need their mother to spend all her time with them. Since their mother was so tired, they would let her have a good rest. Other than sleeping in for half an hour, their mother still had to go to work, just like how they went to school. It was truly difficult for her.

As to why their mother seemed to have a hard time and could never wake up on time to send them to school whenever their father returned, the three children had never thought too much about that. After all, they would never guess the reason at their age.

When Zhai Sheng returned from sending the three children to school, Qiao Nan was no longer at home and had insisted on going to work. Zhai Sheng frowned but did not say anything.

Upon seeing that Zhai Sheng had returned, Zhai Yaohui, who had been reading the newspaper, gave a knowing look to the auntie. The auntie placed a cup of hot tea down before sensibly picking up her bags, saying that she was going on a grocery run. With Miao Jing away at her interest cla.s.s, only Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng were left at home.

Only after the scene was cleared did Zhai Yaohui start to talk to Zhai Sheng. “Zhai Sheng, as a soldier, you’re supposed to be disciplined. You should have self-control and self-discipline. Where has your restraint gone? Have you returned everything that your old man taught you? Are you being filial?”

Thinking of how his daughter-in-law had woken up late and how her legs had been wobbly when she came down for breakfast, Zhai Yaohui’s gaze turned hostile. Zhai Yaohui had been there before, so he knew all too well why Qiao Nan was behaving like that. He knew of Qiao Nan’s dedication to her work, and how she left early and returned late because of that.

Her wonderful performance had almost been ruined by his own son. How could Zhai Yaohui not be angry? He could not understand how his son could be more affectionate than his wife, and how he could be so possessive. When Qiao Nan came downstairs earlier on, he was too embarra.s.sed to even look her in the eye as a father-in-law.

After all, the one who had tortured her was his own son.

After clearing the house of other people, the deeply dissatisfied Zhai Yaohui really wanted to teach Zhai Sheng a good lesson and ensure that he would correct his mistake. “Don’t do that next time. Qiao Nan has quite a bad temper. If you ruffle her feathers, you’ll have a harder time in the future.”

Once women lost their tempers, they could be much fiercer than men.

That one sentence of ‘go sleep in the study room’ was enough to change the expressions of all men.

Zhai Yaohui calmly took a sip of the tea that the auntie had just made. Then, as though he did not take any of his father’s words to heart, he said, “Dad, this is like the pot calling the kettle black. Do you really think that I’ve forgotten about all that happened between you and Mom? Unlike you, I don’t have such a good life. Nan Nan will never have her world revolve around me, like how Mom’s does around you. She won’t stay with me in the army, so I haven’t even applied for a larger room. I’ve been bunking with others.”

Initially, when Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan got married and became a couple legally, with Zhai Sheng’s position in the army, it would have been a breeze for Zhai Sheng to apply for a position for Qiao Nan to follow him.
