Chapter 88: Say it to death

Qiao Nan took a pair of scissors and cut off the tag, cutting off all of Ding Jiayi's options for returning the clothes for money. Then she happily tried the new clothes on herself and ran to Qiao Dongliang to ask, "Dad, do I look good in them?"

"It looks good." Qiao Dongliang said with a smile: "If you like it, wear one set to school tomorrow and keep the other set for the New Year."

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Even though Qiao Nan was not a real fifteen-year-old child, holding the new clothes, Qiao Nan couldn't help but still be happy like a child, with a flushed face.

The happier Qiao Nan was, the redder Ding Jiayi's eyes became, and her look became more fierce.

"Since you bought two new sets of clothes for Qiao Nan, Zijin must have some as well. Buy her three sets!" Ding Jiayi made a request.

"No," Qiao Dongliang refused directly: "It's settled at the time, Zijin is under your care, and Nannan is under my care. You want to buy three sets of clothes for Zijin, fine, I won't hold you back, you pay for it yourself."

After all the manuscripts in his family were used up, Qiao Dongliang became more careful and decided to keep the money tight.

His wife was so bold that she spent all the family savings without even saying hello to him.

It was a month or two before he, the head of the family, realized that the money had been spent.

If he dares to do it this time, my wife will definitely dare to do it again next time.

Their family is not rich to begin with, and they certainly can't afford to spend money like this.

Qiao Dongliang is a bit of a male chauvinist, originally because of Ding Jiayi's reckless spending. Otherwise, Qiao Dongliang generally doesn't want Ding Jiayi to go out to work, and it would be enough for her to just take care of the family.

Qiao Dongliang didn't care at all about the salary Ding Jiayi earned from work, but he had to manage the money he earned himself.

No matter how much Ding Jiayi loves Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang still doesn't care. He still doesn't care how Ding Jiayi spends the money she earns.

But when Ding Jiayi wanted to put her hand into her pocket again, Qiao Dongliang was unwilling to let her do so this time.

"How can it be the same? Zijin is in high school and his expenses are much greater than Qiaonan's. You earn more than me. Let alone three sets of clothes, I want to buy ten sets of clothes for Zijin. Don't you have the money?" Ding Jiayi was unhappy.

Ever since Lao Qiao found out that all the family savings had been used up by her, even though she was still working, Lao Qiao never gave her a penny from his salary.

Ding Jiayi was used to keeping all the family's money in her own hands, and it's not hard to imagine how upset she felt when Qiao Dongliang suddenly stopped giving her money.

Unable to get the money, Ding Jiayi wanted Qiao Dongliang to spend it on Qiao Zijin to prevent it from being spent by Qiao Nan. Qiao Dongliang refused. Ding Jiayi was so angry that she wanted to quarrel with Qiao Dongliang.

"Then I don't care. It's easy to talk about it at the beginning anyway. I know how much you earn. It won't be difficult to pay Zijin's tuition by saving a little every month. You arrange your own money and take care of Zijin's affairs. You can handle it yourself." Qiao Dongliang became smart and had a relatively clear plan in his mind.

My younger daughter never has new clothes, but my eldest daughter has new clothes every year.

At this time, Qiao Dongliang realized one thing, that is, his eldest daughter was living too extravagantly.

What was Old Ding like in the past? Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending. Every family lives like this, so he didn’t buy new clothes for Nan Nan. Why is it that when it comes to Zi Jin, it’s completely different?

Qiao Dongliang did the math for Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi's salary was not as much as Qiao Dongliang's, but she only needed to give Qiao Zijin a living allowance every month and buy her a new set of clothes every quarter. If she saved up a little, there would be no problem supporting Qiao Zijin through high school.

Ding Jiayi's idea is good, but not as good as Qiao Dongliang's calculation.

"Then, can it be the same?" Ding Jiayi was so angry that she couldn't speak. Why should Zijin and Qiao Nan be treated the same? Does Qiao Nan deserve it?

"How are you different?" Qiao Dongliang sneered, "How are you different from me?"

"You, you, Lao Qiao, why are you so unreasonable?" Ding Jiayi was at a loss for words.

"If you are reasonable, you can go anywhere; if you are unreasonable, you can't go anywhere. How can I be unreasonable? But who do you think is unreasonable?" Qiao Dongliang was also confused. It was obviously Lao Ding who was unreasonable, but he still blamed others. How could he do that?

Because of this, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi almost had a quarrel.

Qiao Nan said nothing and went straight back to her room. Based on the principle of not participating and not watching, she quietly did her own thing.

"You are still so nice to her. When she saw us arguing, she didn't help to persuade us and just left. You are such a heartless thing, and you even bought her so many new clothes!" Ding Jiayi pointed at Qiao Nan's door and screamed at the top of her voice.

Ding Jiayi shouted these words to Qiao Nan.

She hoped that Qiao Nan could come out to compromise and calm down the anger between them.

Qiao Nan, who was in the room, acted as if she didn't hear anything. She didn't make any sound.

"There's nothing wrong with Nannan. We had a quarrel. She's just a child and it's none of my business. Do you want her to help you, or would you rather see Nannan help me deal with you?" Qiao Dongliang was so angry that he laughed.

In Qiao Dongliang's opinion, Qiao Nan's approach of returning to her room was undoubtedly the correct one.

If Qiao Nan helps him, it would be unfilial to confront Lao Ding. If she helps Lao Ding to persuade him, it would be like not being able to distinguish between good and bad.

It was a big deal and a child couldn't handle it. He thought the way Nan Nan handled it was pretty good.

"Yes, yes, yes. To you, whatever Qiao Nan does is right, and whatever I do is wrong. You don't care about Zi Jin anymore. Qiao Nan is the only one in your eyes. Don't forget that Zi Jin is the one who will stay in this family in the future. What's the point of you being so nice to her?!" Ding Jiayi said angrily and anxiously, "Why can't you tell the difference between the inside and the outside?"

Qiao Nan will eventually get married and go to another family, but Zi Jin is the one who will stay in this family forever.

No matter how much more is given to Qiao Nan, it will just be a bargain for others. Isn't Old Qiao just being disloyal?

"Nonsense." Qiao Dongliang panted, "You don't have to. Nannan is also my daughter. Why can't I be nice to Nannan? You don't have to argue with me. I won't give you the money anyway. You'd better find a time, otherwise you won't be able to pay Zijin's tuition when school starts next year. I can tell you clearly that if it really comes to that, you can find a way yourself. I will definitely not pay."

Qiao Dongliang was worried that Ding Jiayi would not take his words seriously and would pretend to obey his will but actually go against his will, spending all her money on Qiao Zijin during the Chinese New Year and then expecting him to use the money to pay for her eldest daughter's tuition. Qiao Dongliang simply gave Ding Jiayi a heads up in advance.

"You, you did this, Zijin will be so sad if he knows, do you not want Zijin to study anymore?"
