Qiao Tianli glanced at everyone in the room; not a single person agreed with what he had said, which made him so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.
"Why are you all objecting? Do you think this money will be wasted? Our family's ancestral graves have finally produced a college student."
If we don't nurture her properly, what will happen if she doesn't amount to anything in the future? You only care about the path in front of you. Don't you ever think about how you'll benefit from Qiao Xiaoni's future success?
"Do you really want to stay in the countryside your whole lives?" He looked at the second son, Qiao Haixing, "You're doing well at the factory now, but that's only in the town."
Have you ever been to a big city? I've heard people say that in big cities you can make money just by picking things up from the ground.
Qiao Haixing was stunned by his father's idea. "Dad, how is that possible? You can make money just by picking up random things? Who told you this nonsense?"
Although there aren't many college students now, so many are produced every year, and the number will only increase in the future. How can you be so sure that the eldest son's daughter will be successful?
Qiao Tianli immediately slammed his hand on the table again, "I'm not listening to your nonsense. I've made my decision. We'll all chip in to pay for Qiao Xiaoni's college education."
"If you don't listen to me, then don't acknowledge me anymore. Go wherever you want, and don't ever come back. You have no part in this family anymore."
"Dad!" Qiao Hainan stood up anxiously. "What are you saying? If you don't let me live at home, where am I supposed to live? Who will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days? You're not really counting on that brat, are you?"
Zhang Ru was also anxious, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. If they left this home, the two of them would be left to starve.
Living with the elderly means you have no worries about food and drink, and you don't need to think about going out to earn money at all.
Qiao Haisheng would send grain to the family every year, and Qiao Haixing would give them money; all they had to do was eat and drink. Besides, her womb hadn't cooperated, and she hadn't been able to have a child all these years. How could she have the courage to go out?
Qiao Haixing said, "Dad, if you're going to be so tough on this, then I'm telling you right now, I won't pay a single penny."
"If you weren't my son, I wouldn't be coming back home! I promised to give you ten yuan a month, but starting this month, I won't. You two will have to rely on them to support you!" After saying that, he stood up angrily and was about to leave.
Wang Qin and Qiao Sunshi stepped forward at the same time, grabbing one of his arms to stop him from walking outside.
"You've gone too far!" Qiao Tianli said angrily, "I raised you all these years, and this is how you repay me?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. How old am I? If this little girl becomes successful, won't you uncles benefit from it?"
Why is there no one who understands his heart?
Qiao Sunshi waved her hand, "Alright, old man, don't say anymore. Since your son doesn't want to, let's just let it go."
They already said we didn't need to pay anything, so why are you worrying about it?
Qiao Tian thought of his stubborn eldest son, slapped his right leg and said nothing more. He did all this for their own good, so why wouldn't they listen?
In ancient times, wealthy families raised capable daughters precisely so that they could send them to the palace to become concubines and bring wealth and honor to their families.
The argument ended as soon as Qiao Tianli stopped speaking.
