Chapter 2075: Changed
Walking out from the study room, Jiajia thought of those burned ashes just now and lowered her eyes. She returned to her room silently. There was only so much to Wei Wei, the person her father and grandparents treated as their precious. However, perhaps apart from themselves, they had never liked anyone else.
After all, she had grown up together with Wei Wei. Jiajia didn’t know what Wei Wei experienced after returning to the countryside. However, she felt that if the Wei family hadn’t done something sorry to him, Wei Wei wouldn’t have been so bold to sell the Wei family’s remaining building.
In reality, when Zhai Hua wanted to get a divorce with Wei De and she heard that the Wei family was going to send Wei Wei to the countryside to reunite with Wei Xiaomei, not only did Jiajia feel that she had won, but she also developed the thought that Wei Wei had lost, just like her.
Favoring boys over girls? In their father’s heart, he valued himself the most. When encountering a critical problem, her father could just abandon his son just like that. It was as if the love for more than ten years before was fake and didn’t exist.
Actually, before Zhai Hua got to read the information, Jiajia had already read it while cleaning the house the other day. The more she read, the more indifferent she was to those people from her grandma’s family. Otherwise, Jiajia wouldn’t have inadvertently mentioned the topic of younger siblings in such a casual manner today.
She was upset and minded in the past because she really thought that no matter if it was her or her nonexistent younger brother, her grandparents didn’t like the children that were born to her mother. However, Jiajia understood now that her grandma’s family didn’t like her and that they ‘truly’ liked Wei Wei.
After knowing this truth, she had reason to believe that Wei Wei, who always felt that he was blessed, would only suffer more than her after knowing the truth.
After thinking about this, Jiajia really felt that there was nothing to be persistent about the Wei family and there was nothing she couldn’t let go of.
She understood it herself. She hoped that her mother would also understand this and not let herself feel troubled because of everything about the Wei family.
How good was it now? She and her mom were living happily together. Uncle married aunt and aunt was pregnant with a baby. Everything was developing in a good direction. The most important thing was for a family to be safe and happy together.
“Really?” Qiao Dongliang was flattered to have received Qiao Nan’s call. When he knew that Qiao Nan was already pregnant, Qiao Dongliang was so happy that he didn’t know what to do. “How many months has it been? Did the doctor say anything? Are you and the child well? Do you need to pay attention to anything?”
It was a good thing to be pregnant. However, Nan Nan wasn’t young anymore. It was definitely tougher for her to be pregnant now than any pregnant woman. When he thought of how Ding Jiayi had treated Qiao Zijin like a queen for ten months when she was pregnant, Qiao Dongliang wanted to find someone to take care of Qiao Nan as well.
Of course, such a thought lasted only for a moment. It wasn’t easy for Qiao Nan to be pregnant at this age. People would have paid more attention to her than Qiao Zijin initially. Let Ding Jiayi go over to take care of the pregnant Qiao Nan? Qiao Dongliang felt that even if he was a father and he didn’t know anything in this regard, he’d rather do these things by himself than let Ding Jiayi do so.
Others didn’t know but he did. He was worried that Ding Jiayi would come up with bad ideas to harm Qiao Nan and the child in Qiao Nan’s stomach.
“Don’t worry. The child and I are doing well thus far. It’s only three months now. I’ll go for a checkup after the fourth month.” Qiao Nan touched her stomach that wasn’t protruding yet. No one knew how blessed she felt right now. Her child was returning again.
“That’s great. Is Zhai Sheng home?” Nan Nan’s pregnancy was a good thing. It must be made known to Zhai Sheng, his son-in-law.
Qiao Nan looked at Zhai Sheng, who was cutting fruits for her. She said sweetly, “Brother Zhai’s the one who sent me to the hospital for a checkup. That’s when I knew I was pregnant. Brother Zhai is cutting fruits for me now. The doctor said that as long as they aren’t too cold, it would be beneficial for me and the child if I eat more fruits.”
Because of the doctor’s words, everyone in the Zhai family, including Zhai Sheng, nearly turned the Zhai family into a wholesale fruit market. They went to buy everything nutritious and fresh that a pregnant woman could eat. As for the price, they didn’t take a second look.
The Zhai family had always been thrifty. Qiao Nan was long used to the Zhai family’s lifestyle. After coming to this lifetime, she had adapted very well. After all, compared to Qiao Nan’s treatment in the Qiao family, it was already nourishing for her that the Zhai family didn’t treat her harshly even though they led a simple lifestyle.
However, after the Zhai family revealed characteristics of being controlling over pregnant women and infants, Qiao Nan felt that she became the one with the best treatment in the Zhai family. Perhaps it was really that she was older and it was tough for her to be pregnant. It seemed that the Zhai family valued her pregnancy now as much as they did when she was pregnant with triplets in her dream.
Knowing that his daughter was pregnant and Zhai Sheng was by her side, Qiao Dongliang was even more satisfied. “That’s good. After a woman becomes pregnant, her cravings will become a little uncontrollable. Sometimes, one would go crazy over thinking about what to eat. How are you?”
“Yes...” Speaking of this, there was something Qiao Nan was craving for. However, it couldn’t be bought in the capital and it wasn’t easy to buy in Ping Cheng. “Dad, do you remember when I was five, you made a type of pickled ginger at home? That ginger tasted spicy and especially sour...”
Back then, Qiao Nan was only five years old. A child’s taste bud was more sensitive than an adult’s. As the taste of this pickled ginger was too pungent, the young Qiao Nan couldn’t accept it. Qiao Dongliang pickled this ginger as it served as a condiment with porridge in the morning. It was cheap to pickle one’s own ginger and it was a childhood memory of Qiao Dongliang. As such, Qiao Dongliang did this on a whim.
It was a pity that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin didn’t eat spicy food. Similarly, the mother-daughter pair couldn’t accept the spiciness of that ginger. At that time, Qiao Nan was still young and she didn’t know how to appreciate the wonder of pickled ginger.
For a family of four, Qiao Dongliang made a small jar of pickled ginger. Aside from Qiao Nan pouring the pickled soup into her porridge, Qiao Dongliang had eaten all the pickled ginger himself. Ever since then, Qiao Dongliang had never made pickled ginger anymore.
It was such a distant memory. If Qiao Nan didn’t mention it, Qiao Dongliang would have forgotten himself. However, Qiao Nan had no choice. She didn’t know if it was the child in her stomach creating trouble, but her cravings had completely changed from the usual.
