Chapter 567: Settlement of “Old” Accounts

At that time, although Qiao Zijin disdained the approach of her new classmate's parents, it was as if the eldest child in the family had to work like a slave for his younger brothers and sisters.

But on the other hand, isn't this an affirmation of the abilities of the eldest daughter or son in the family by the parents?

Her father looked down on her and thought she was incompetent, and that she would definitely need Qiao Nan's help in the future, which was why she and Qiao Nan supported each other.

Qiao Nan is so capable, right? Well, then, instead of supporting each other, wouldn’t it be enough if Qiao Nan just supports her unilaterally?

"Zijin, did you hear that?"

Qiao Zijin threw away the watermelon rind and used a towel to wipe her hands that were stained with bright red watermelon juice: "Dad, don't worry, I heard everything. I only have one sister, Nannan. If I don't treat her well, who should I treat well? Dad, do you have no confidence in me? Don't you believe that I have really changed?"

"No, that's not the case." Qiao Dongliang's eyes flickered and he avoided Qiao Zijin's gaze.

"It seems that I have a long way to go to reconcile with Nan Nan. You have no confidence in me and don't believe in me, let alone Nan Nan. That's right, just like you, I have too many criminal records. This kind of thing can only be done step by step. I'm not in a hurry." Qiao Zijin was not angry. If she wanted to be angry, at least she couldn't be angry at this time.

"I'm glad you understand." Qiao Dongliang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. Nan Nan will be unhappy to hear this."

"What are you unhappy about?" Qiao Nan wiped her hair and walked out: "There is watermelon to eat."

"Yes, I just bought it today, it's very fresh. Boss, it's grown by ourselves, and the ones we're selling today are all freshly picked from the melon fields. I saw that the vines and leaves are so green and juicy, it must be real." Qiao Dongliang asked Qiao Nan to eat more: "I soaked this watermelon in the well, it's very cool and delicious. The watermelon is so sandy and crisp."

Qiao Nan took a bite. Hmm, it was really sweet and tasted great. It was not like the watermelons of a dozen years later, which were decorated with chemical formulas. The watermelon looked good, but it was still delicious after one bite.

But after the watermelon flesh entered her stomach, after a while, there was always an uncomfortable sour taste in her mouth: "Dad, I don't like to eat them in bunches. I like to eat half a watermelon by myself. Why don't you make it for me?"

Qiao Dongliang scowled, "Your mother is just insane. A family of four only bought one watermelon at a time. How can one person take half of it? It's nice and enjoyable for one person to hold half of the watermelon and eat it. Everyone wants to enjoy themselves, but this is not a good way to do it."

"Nannan, please don't embarrass me at this time. I know I used to be domineering, but now I have changed. Eating watermelons in bunches is convenient and tastes good. There is nothing wrong with it." In order to make Qiao Nan believe what he said, Qiao Zijin immediately took a watermelon and started to eat it.

"Oh." Qiao Zijin even changed this habit. Qiao Nan's eyes darkened. Not only did he not relax, but he became more alert to Qiao Zijin: "By the way, what were you talking about just now? Why am I unhappy? Who did something to make me unhappy?"

"No, we were just chatting about your trip. You should have been very happy, but then we met that thing with you. Zijin and I wondered if you would be unhappy about your next trip."

"Yes." Qiao Zijin immediately added, not mentioning the content of her conversation with Qiao Dongliang: "Nannan, come and sit down, watch TV and take a rest. In half an hour, I will help Dad make dinner. If you feel tired, why don't you go back to your room and take a nap for half an hour?"

Qiao Nan yawned loudly: "No, I really didn't realize it. Once you yawned, I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes. Dad, I'll go to sleep for a while, and you and sister can watch TV."

Since she's here, isn't it convenient for Qiao Zijin to talk to her dad?

Qiao Nan stretched lazily, waking up with sleepy eyes. Since Qiao Zijin had this idea, she fulfilled Qiao Zijin's wish and made room for her.

Qiao Zijin was too obedient, which made her even more worried.

If Qiao Zijin could reveal some flaws in front of her father, she would have no intention of doing anything.

However, as long as she is around, Qiao Zijin will be cautious and pretend, so it will be better if she leaves for a while.

Qiao Nan was really exhausted. Even if Qiao Zijin had bad intentions this time, she couldn't show her true colors or even make any moves in a short period of time. Qiao Nan simply went to sleep without any worries. She slept for a full hour and a half.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Dongliang brought the freshly cooked dishes into the living room and saw Qiao Zijin pacing around Qiao Nan's door.

Qiao Zijin took a step back: "Dad, it's already been an hour and a half, has Nan Nan woken up? It's time for dinner, I don't know whether I should let Nan Nan sleep a little longer or wake her up quickly. What if she sleeps too much and can't fall asleep at night?"

"You." Qiao Dongliang's expression eased. "Nannan has been sleeping for a long time. You should wake her up. Even if you are really sleepy, wait until after dinner. Don't let yourself get hungry. Your mother went too far. Two years ago, when I took Nannan to the hospital, I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even raise my head when I thought of what the doctor said to me. The doctor said that Nannan was malnourished. What era is this? Nannan is actually malnourished!"

When this matter was mentioned, Qiao Dongliang became angry at Ding Jiayi for being so cruel.

There are probably not many mothers in the world who would starve their own daughter to the point of malnutrition.

Qiao Zijin just thought that her mother also regretted it, but Qiao Dongliang continued to scold her: "Zijin, I have to blame you for this. You are Nannan's sister, and you and your daughter have spent more time together. How does your mother treat Nannan, don't you know at all? You knew your mother did this, why didn't you persuade her? Your mother should not ignore your words, will she not listen to you? Zijin, you let your mother bully Nannan like this, don't you feel distressed when you see it?"

Qiao Dongliang really didn't know that Ding Jiayi was so cruel that she let Qiao Nan pick up the meat in front of him and then put it back into the pot.

But he didn't believe it. He didn't know about it, and neither did Qiao Zijin.

What bothered Qiao Dongliang the most was that, since Qiao Zijin knew about it, why did he never do anything about it? Even though Ding Jiayi was the elder and Qiao Zijin was the junior, and it was difficult for him to persuade Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin could have told his father and asked him to communicate with Ding Jiayi.

This attitude of sitting back and watching made Qiao Dongliang feel very suffocated.
