Chapter 2414: Bring Along the Triplets (1)
Even if Qiao Zijin was Chen Feng’s biological mother, how would Father Chen and Mother Chen dare to hand their grandson over to their ex-daughter-in-law if they didn’t know about her current situation?
It was precisely because Qiao Zijin was still single after her divorce, didn’t have a messy boyfriend, and had a purer heart and fewer desires than when she was married to Chen Jun did the Chen family decide to call Qiao Zijin.
If Qiao Zijin had a man and a child by her side, even if the Chen family could no longer take care of Chen Feng, it would have been impossible for them to consider Qiao Zijin, lest Chen Feng got bullied and became the second Qiao Nan.
Of course, Father Chen and Mother Chen didn’t share these thoughts with Chen Feng.
The problem Chen Feng was considering now was the Chen family’s situation. Indeed, it wasn’t too convenient if he followed his mom to live in the Qiao family.
He didn’t want that grandma, whom he almost couldn’t remember her looks, to look at him like he was a ‘mobile AIDS carrier’. Rather than being treated like a monster, he’d rather return to his grandparents’ side.
Qiao Zijin was a little dissatisfied that her son didn’t answer her question of how much money he had. “Don’t worry about your grandma. She’s healthy and doesn’t need me to take care of her at all.”
Who knows? Once she left and nobody angered her mom anymore, her mom’s health might actually be better than when she was with her.
Regarding this aspect, Qiao Zijin still had some self-awareness.
Furthermore, Chen Feng was her son. She knew that the person with AIDS was Chen Jun, not Chen Feng. This matter had nothing to do with Chen Feng. As such, she was willing to stay with Chen Feng and not discriminate against him.
If this were to happen to the selfish Ding Jiayi, could she do this?
If she stayed with Chen Feng, and Ding Jiayi found out about Chen Jun’s situation, Ding Jiayi would be afraid of Chen Feng and her, who had been in contact with Chen Feng.
Forget it.
It’s better that Ding Jiayi didn’t know about this. If she knew, she would definitely shamelessly ask for a sum of money from Qiao Nan and move out of the Qiao family’s courtyard, for fear of being infected or death.
Qiao Zijin didn’t want to be treated like an infectious disease by Ding Jiayi. She was also a person with self-esteem, alright? Also, she needed to take care of her son’s feelings.
In short, if she was willing to move out of the Qiao family’s courtyard and let Ding Jiayi regain freedom, Ding Jiayi would definitely be so happy that she would set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate.
It was just that as Chen Jun’s mother, Qiao Zijin couldn’t analyze and share the messy relationship she had with Ding Jiayi to Chen Feng, lest he was led astray.
Being led astray was two-way. She didn’t want Chen Feng to be under the bad influence of Ding Jiayi, like her. She also wasn’t willing for Chen Feng to treat her, the biological mother, in a similar attitude in the future after seeing her performance.
Qiao Zijin thought that Chen Feng didn’t know about this. Although Chen Feng wasn’t completely clear about this, he wasn’t totally ignorant.
However, seeing that Qiao Zijin wasn’t willing to mention anything further, Chen Feng pretended that he really didn’t know about it and didn’t ask further.
The mother-son pair finally returned to Ping Cheng. Chen Feng expressed that he almost couldn’t recognize this place, which was where he had grown up.
Chen Feng’s health wasn’t a problem. Also, in terms of school transfers, it wasn’t a requirement for them to produce medical reports so that he could be enrolled.
Chen Feng and Qiao Zijin weren’t fools. After knowing that this society had negative perceptions about AIDS, they weren’t going to explain to the school that Chen Feng’s father contracted AIDS but pretend that he was healthy instead. If they didn’t believe it, they had the doctor’s certificate and medical reports to prove it.
If they really said so, even if Chen Feng was indeed healthy, the school generally wouldn’t accept such students.
A school was a public place. Many parents handed their children over to the school to manage as they trusted the school.
Even if the teachers weren’t worried if anything would happen to them, they had to be worried if the other students in the school would be affected. They couldn’t possibly risk the safety of the entire school’s teachers and students just to accept a student.
For a troublesome matter like this, it was best to avoid it wherever possible.
As such, regarding the fact that Chen Jun contracted AIDS and was treated in isolation, the mother-son pair maintained a tacit understanding and didn’t mention a word about it.
The school asked about Chen Feng’s good grades and the fact that he just started high school.
The three years of high school were critical. If there were no major problems with the student’s academic performance or no special reasons, the teachers would definitely not advise the student to transfer schools at this juncture. That would mean that the student had to leave a familiar environment, adapt to a new place, and get used to the new school.
Based on the superficial information, the school really couldn’t tell why Chen Feng insisted on transferring schools at this juncture.
Seeing that the school insisted on asking so many questions, Qiao Zijin had no choice but to answer them. “I have long divorced the child’s father. Before the divorce, we’ve discussed that for the sake of our child’s future, he would belong to whomever had better living conditions. When we got a divorce, my ex-husband’s conditions were better than mine. Now, my conditions are better than his, thus I asked for my son back. Everything we did was for the child.”
“You?” The school didn’t understand. Looking at this child’s mother, she didn’t seem like a formidable character. Yet, her living conditions improved? Apologies, but he really couldn’t tell.
In the process of deciding to accept a student, the school generally looked at the student’s capabilities and if their grades could meet the school’s requirements. They generally didn’t consider the situation of the child’s parents or family.
However, Qiao Zijin wanted to mention her own family situation to the teacher. The teacher felt that it wasn’t a big deal to want to find out a little more.
Qiao Zijin was also a hopeless person who acted recklessly.
She stated clearly that she was unemployed and there was nothing much to deceive others about it. “My situation is average, but my son has an outstanding biological aunt. Do you know that in our Ping Cheng, there’s a very formidable Zhai family? The Zhai family has been the chief for many generations.”
“Yes, I know about them.”
Only a fool wouldn’t know. The Zhai family was the pride of their Ping Cheng. They were the most formidable characters in Ping Cheng.
Even if the situation of the Zhai family wasn’t widely publicized, a native from Ping Cheng would basically know about the Zhai family.
“Great that you know. My younger sister married Zhai Sheng and became the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. She even gave birth to two sons and a daughter for them. Both my ex-husband and I feel that based on my current situation, our son would have better development opportunities if he lives with me.”
