Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that!
Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or ...
Chapter 1704 Concession
"But you are a labor force and the main source of income for the Qiao family." Zhou Xing was particularly entangled and conflicted. She seemed to be struggling, struggling whether she should accept this truth which was completely opposite to what she had heard more than ten years ago.
If Zhou Xing had grown up in a normal family environment with both parents alive, she might not have been able to judge from Qiao Dongliang's words which of his two daughters Qiao Dongliang preferred. But Zhou Xing was not such a naive girl.
At the age of 17, Zhou Xing has already deeply understood how important money is to survive in this society. At the same time, with economic inflation, money is becoming less and less valuable, and what is valuable is often other things, such as houses.
She has no mother, but she still has a biological father.
Under such circumstances, her father did not think of leaving everything he had to his daughter. What made her even more difficult to accept was that her father had put a lot of thought into the money and house left to her by her grandparents, and coaxed her like a three-year-old child, trying to cheat her out of it.
As a father, when his grandfather got divorced, he spent all his money on her mother and left the house to her mother and grandmother. From this point of view, the love that grandfather had for her mother was a hundred or a thousand times greater than that of her father.
Grandpa really brought nothing to Qiao Nan except himself.
"But I am not a laborer in this family, nor am I a tool for Ding Jiayi and your mother to make money. Love requires sacrifice before it can be gained. I know how Ding Jiayi taught your mother. Do you think Ding Jiayi's teaching method is right? Is your mother still normal after growing up under such teaching? Of course, at that time, I didn't know that Ding Jiayi taught your mother in this way. I was just heartbroken. All my efforts in the first half of my life were for your mother. Your mother turned around and thought I was useless and couldn't let her live a good life. As the daughter of a high-ranking official, she had no worries about food and clothing and endless money. At that time, I was still lying in the hospital. I had an operation with the money your aunt borrowed from others. I went back and forth to the gates of hell."
"..." Zhou Xing bit her lip. She couldn't go against her conscience. As a father, Qiao Dongliang should be selfless and devoted to her mother. Even if her mother really treated Qiao Dongliang like a cow, Qiao Dongliang should satisfy her mother's request even if he worked himself to death.
With Zhou Zheng as her father, Zhou Xing can understand how good Qiao Dongliang is as a father. Compared with her, her mother is much happier than her, even though they are both daughters.
Grandma's teaching method was wrong, but she was really good to Mom, and she was really partial and cold-blooded to Qiao Nan. Similarly, Grandpa was also very kind to Mom. Grandpa had more than one daughter, but he gave almost everything he had to Mom. Don't think that parents should give their children what they deserve, all parents are like this.
No, that's not the case. Her father has never been this good to her.
"After entering high school, your aunt had good grades and was exempted from tuition fees. When she went to college and reached the age, she married your uncle directly. Of course, your aunt didn't have to spend my money on all her expenses. When you really count it, how many years did I support your aunt? Apart from feeding your aunt a few mouths to feed and helping her grow up, my contribution to her was too little compared to your mother."
In the first few years, it was the nine-year compulsory education stipulated by the state. Nan Nan only had to pay for textbooks to go to school. Later, when it was no longer compulsory, she had to pay a lot of money. Nan Nan worked hard to make herself exempt from tuition and miscellaneous fees with her grades. When she went to university, she married a good husband.
As a father, he has not been able to enlighten anyone at all. This is the truth of everything.
Zhou Xing gritted his teeth, his face turning purple and blue: "I don't know if I should believe you. You are different from grandma. In fact, grandma never mentioned these things of yours."
Grandma only told her that grandpa cared a lot about Qiao Nan, and that for Qiao Nan, grandpa and grandma divorced. After the divorce, grandpa wanted Qiao Nan and not her mother, and her mother was raised and educated by her grandmother. This was the truth she had always believed.
She never thought that as early as when the two sisters were in junior high school, in order to allow her mother to go to school better, the Qiao family had already had a war over whether to let Qiao Nanzhen learn to work.
Of the two sisters, Qiao Nan's grades were obviously better, and her mother's grades were not comparable to Qiao Nan's. However, the topic of the incident was whether Qiao Nan should drop out of school to work and support her mother's education. Based on this alone, Zhou Xing had to doubt that everything her grandmother had told her over the years was probably partly true and partly concealed.
What the grandmother said was good for her, and what she kept secret was bad for her and her mother. But this missing part was closer to the truth. Without this part of the description, her judgment of right and wrong lost the most powerful basis, resulting in the bad result of wrong judgment.
"Let me put it this way. You don't have to believe me, but for the moment, clear your mind of everything Ding Jiayi has told you. Before Ding Jiayi and I divorced, until your aunt went to high school, our family of four lived in Qiao's courtyard. The neighbors must still remember what happened to our family. Go back and ask around. If you still don't believe me, you can go to your aunt's high school and ask. Ding Jiayi and your mother are so noisy. I think there must be a lot of people who remember these things even though it's been 20 or 30 years."
Qiao Dongliang was not afraid that Zhou Xing would not believe him, but he was afraid that Zhou Xing would not even bother to check and would just believe what he heard. As long as he checked, he would have a bunch of witnesses to prove that everything he said was true.
"I know." Zhou Xing's voice was low again: "I can guess the reason why you came to see me today, even if you haven't mentioned it yet. Between my mother and Qiao Nan... I may have misunderstood you, but I know who you chose between the three children of Qiao Nan and me. I didn't misunderstand you."
The palms and backs of hands are all made of flesh. It's not as if grandpa has no feelings for her, his granddaughter. The problem is that Qiao Nan has three children and she only has one, so the flesh on the palms is a little thicker than that on the backs of her hands.
Zhou Xing took a deep breath and made a concession: "For the time being, I will not look for Zhai Xin again, nor will I have any idea of asking the Zhai family for mercy." Until she found out the truth of the matter, whether it was her grandmother's or her grandfather's.
