Chapter 2402: Without Even Asking (1)
Upon thinking that their biological father only knew how to snatch for things with them, Da Bao felt heartache that the three of them had such an immature father. They could only tolerate it. Since their dad didn’t love the young, they could only respect the ‘old’.
Thankfully, these were just Da Bao’s thoughts. He had never mentioned these in front of the adults before. Otherwise, based on Da Bao’s thoughts of ‘respecting the old’, Zhai Sheng could really grab hold of Da Bao and smack his buttocks. Zhai Sheng was nearing the age of fifty. In the face of his three children who were not yet in primary school, the last thing he wanted to hear was the word ‘old’.
His children were still so young. How was he, as a father, old? He was still young and strong!
Ignoring his lowly status, Zhai Sheng touched the faces of his three children. Qiao Nan agreed immediately. “Sure. You can choose your own.”
The cheeky Er Bao’s eyes swirled with thoughts. “Dad closed the door previously and we couldn’t go in to find Mom…”
What if Dad did the same today again? What should they do?
Qiao Nan smiled. “That’s fine. I’ll combine your three small beds into a big bed. I’ll sleep in your room tonight. Is that alright?” She still remembered the bad things Brother Zhai did previously. However, he didn’t accept punishment. At least this time today, she couldn’t let Brother Zhai get his way. She had to teach him a lesson.
“Mom, you’re the best.” After successfully getting rid of the trouble, her dad, San Bao was extremely happy. She kissed Qiao Nan twice on the face. Seeing that San Bao kissed her, Da Bao and Er Bao wanted to kiss her as well. Qiao Nan put San Bao down and bent down so that she could accept the fragrant kisses from her two sons. She looked extremely happy, like she had eaten a miracle pill. How was it like the ugly look she gave Zhai Sheng?
Zhai Sheng felt that this scene was an eyesore. He once again confirmed that having too many children at home was definitely not a good thing. It was simply too troublesome if there were too many children, just like their family situation. Zhai Sheng didn’t understand how other people’s children were like.
However, the three children in his family, including San Bao, who was supposed to be the apple of his eye, were meant to set their father up.
Upon thinking that not only did his children set him up, but they also bore great lethality, Zhai Sheng couldn’t help but regret why he was so ‘accurate’ back then to give birth to three children at once.
Even one less child would be better, let alone two.
As such, every time the triplets wanted to snatch Zhai Sheng’s wife away from him, Zhai Sheng experienced deep emotions about the number of children in his family. At this time, Zhai Sheng was so angry that he wanted to throw the three children out of the house. “Nan Nan, everyone says that we can’t let our children lose on the starting line. I heard that there are boarding schools at the primary school level. Let’s choose that kind of school.”
Even though there were a few more years before the three children went to primary school, this didn’t prevent him from making plans earlier.
Yes, what type of school would be the most suitable for their three children? Of course, the further the better. It was best if they came home only once a month. Otherwise, maybe they could send them abroad?
Without waiting for Qiao Nan to answer Zhai Sheng’s childish and mentally weak question, Miao Jing’s slap on Zhai Sheng’s back was already the best answer. “Boarding school? Zhai Sheng, you’re already a father. Do you… have the cheek to say such words? Is this how you set an example for the children?”
Would Miao Jing not be able to tell? Her son was jealous of the three children. Thus, he wanted to send the triplets away.
However, she and Old Zhai weren’t dead yet. Both of them wanted to participate in the decision-making of the three children’s future school. They didn’t mind any type of school. However, Zhai Sheng didn’t need to even think about boarding schools.
“At this age, you’re still more childish than the triplets. You have the cheek to say this, but I don’t have the cheek to listen to this. If you dare to do this, your father and I will have it out with you.”
“Grandma, you’re so nice. Er Bao loves Grandma the most.”
Er Bao pounced onto Miao Jing and acted like a spoiled child in front of her with his cute voice. Er Bao might not understand the conversations between adults. What he did know was that the grandma who doted on them would definitely help them. His bad father must be trying to bully them again. In that case, did Er Bao have to hesitate whom to curry favor with between his father and grandma?
There was already a steady rhythm to this, alright?
Er Bao knew how to act like a spoiled child, to begin with, and Miao Jing bought that. If Er Bao tried a little harder, Miao Jing would only remember Er Bao, her grandson. How would she still remember Zhai Sheng, her son? Really, with a grandson, a son became worthless.
“Grandma loves Er Bao the most too.” As she hugged her chubby grandson, Miao Jing felt that leading such a god-like life was wonderful. However, compared to the three children, if she was really given the opportunity to be a god, she would never exchange them for that.
After successfully defeating their father, the baddie, Er Bao fed a piece of fruit to Miao Jing. “Grandma, this is a banana. It’s especially soft. Eat it. After eating it, I’ll get more for you.” It was soft and delicious. He liked to eat it as well.
“…” Zhai Sheng always knew that his bootlicking skills paled in comparison to his three children’s. He and Zhai Hua were different when they were young. Upon thinking about Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng felt that she wasn’t such a child. As such, their three children seemed to have self-learned this. Their words were like honey when they coaxed old people. Where had they inherited this from?
Upon thinking again that all the old people from Qiao Nan’s nursing home doted on the three children and took care of them like they were their biological grandchildren, Zhai Sheng couldn’t help but hand it to the three children’s charms.
It was just that with more people doting on the three children, coupled with them growing up, the toy room originally prepared for the three children became a little insufficient.
After San Bao reached two years old, not only was she occasionally interested in toy cars and toy guns like Da Bao and Er Bao, but she also started to like dolls. Her dolls came in all sizes. Her stuffed toys that were the same height as her also occupied a lot of space.
It could be said that the games room initially prepared for the three children wouldn’t look too big now if it was used by San Bao a lot. Of course, if the three children used it together, wouldn’t it be too squeezy?
In a place like the capital, other people might be lacking a house, but the Zhai family and Qiao Nan wouldn’t. One had to know that among the things Zhu Chengqi left for Qiao Nan, not only was there financial liquidity, but there were also a lot of assets including numerous properties. In the capital, without relying on the Zhai family, Qiao Nan could have houses as well.
It was just that to Qiao Nan, the Zhu family’s matters weren’t as blessed as that in her dream.
