Chapter 1918 Silence
"If you don't sell your house, you can't sell this courtyard house either. I have a courtyard house and a large house. We have two houses. If I sell one, I can't live in the other one. Why should I sell the courtyard house!"
Qiao Dongliang knew what his eldest daughter was thinking. She really regarded him and Ding Jiayi as a burden. How could he be soft-hearted? The eldest daughter's illness has not recovered yet. She needs the two of them to take care of everything for her. The eldest daughter has already thought about how to abandon the two old people after she recovers. Qiao Dongliang feels more and more that what he needs to worry about now is not the eldest daughter, but his own life in his later years.
Qiao Dongliang didn't hear at all that Qiao Zijin was going to find a job to earn money and live a serious and down-to-earth life after she recovered from her illness. Qiao Zijin doesn't work and loves to spend money, so where does the money come from? Of course, it comes from the money from selling the courtyard house.
With Qiao Zijin living off her savings like this, no matter how high the price of the courtyard house is, it may not be able to withstand Qiao Zijin's spending. At that time, not only can he and Lao Ding not rest assured in their old age, but they may even be in their seventies or eighties and have to sweep the streets with a meager income of more than a thousand yuan a month.
"Dad, you..." She didn't expect that her father was as bad as her mother and also wanted to live in her big suite. Although her house was several years old, it had hardly been occupied since it was renovated. It was brand new. Her parents probably didn't even have a place to move in such a nice house, so how could they live there?
Qiao Zijin just disliked Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi, and felt that letting them live in a large suite would dirty her house: "Dad, don't be angry, I'm thinking about you and mom, don't I want you to live your own life? Dad, really, I'm doing this for your and mom's good."
"That's right, you don't understand Zijin's good intentions, but how can you lose your temper with Zijin? Zijin, don't bother with your dad, your dad has such a bad temper, he can't tell good from bad." Ding Jiayi supported Qiao Zijin, anyway, she felt that the arrangement of her eldest daughter was good.
Really, having a bedroom and a living room is at least much better than the first time selling the courtyard house.
He couldn't tell the difference between himself and others, yet he still had the nerve to criticize others. Glancing at Ding Jiayi who was so stupid, Qiao Dongliang refused to communicate with her again. Anyway, the courtyard house was under his name, and no one could sell it without his consent: "I've said before, since I don't want to sell this house, and Zijin doesn't want to sell the big house, then there's a third way. Zijin stays at home and waits to see if God will open his eyes and give us a miracle, so that Zijin's disease doesn't need surgery, or can be cured by taking medicine alone."
In fact, the first idea Qiao Dongliang put forward was the biggest sacrifice he had made for Qiao Zijin as a father. At Qiao Dongliang's age, how much impact would such a major operation like removing a kidney have on his health? How could he not know?
He would rather sacrifice his own health and shorten his life span, hoping that his daughter could live a few more years. Unfortunately, he was not afraid of a short life, but his daughter was worried that his kidneys were not working well and could not let her live a few more years. Not only was his eldest daughter not moved, but she was so disgusted that Qiao Dongliang felt that this was the sadness of him and Ding Jiayi as parents.
The proposed solutions were repeatedly rejected, and all of Qiao Dongliang's fatherly love and patience were declared bankrupt.
Qiao Dongliang's words made Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin dumbfounded. Qiao Zijin's face turned pale: "Dad, does your third method mean that I should wait to die?" With a disease like hers, how could there be a miracle one day?
The doctor said very clearly that even if she underwent a kidney transplant, her disease was not 100% immune to recurrence or the possibility of not getting it again. Treatment may not be able to completely cure it. If it is not treated, then there is only one way to go, death.
Did she hear it wrong or did her father say it wrong? How could her father say such a cold and ruthless thing to let her wait to die!
"Old Qiao, you are getting old and confused. Don't you know what you just said?" Ding Jiayi was shocked. He and Old Qiao only had Zijin as their child. If Zijin is gone, what hope will she and Lao Qiao have in the future? She is afraid that when she and Lao Qiao die, there will be no one to mourn and hold funerals for them: "Zijin, don't get me wrong, your father is so anxious about your illness, he has a bad temper, but no matter what, he can't mean that."
Ding Jiayi was too embarrassed to say the word "wait to die", and tried to persuade Qiao Zijin and help Qiao Dongliang "whitewash".
Qiao Dongliang was completely unwilling to accept Ding Jiayi's "good intentions": "Okay, I've been home for an hour, Lao Ding, you hurry up and cook. After dinner, I want to rest early today."
He didn't say anything wrong, and he wasn't joking, what he said couldn't be more serious. As for what his eldest daughter and Ding Jiayi think, Qiao Dongliang said he has no control over it.
Qiao Zijin's life is hers, and the choice is in her hands. The doctor said that kidneys are in short supply, and they finally have one. If their family can't make a decision as soon as possible, I'm sorry, the hospital won't delay, and other patients are also very urgent. When the time comes, this kidney can only be arranged for other patients.
Qiao Zijin would rather miss this kidney for money and doesn't care about her own life. Qiao Dongliang said, why is he so worried. If Qiao Zijin wants to live, she can live hard. If Qiao Zijin doesn't want to live, he is an old man, and there is no way for him to stop Qiao Zijin from dying. He is not a doctor, and Qiao Zijin doesn't want his kidney.
"What are you doing? I asked you to cook, but you didn't hear me. Do you want to starve me to death? By then, you will be the only one left in our family, Ding Jiayi. At that time, you really want to die and no one will care about you, right?" Old Ding is not just confused. If Old Ding continues like this, he and Old Ding will not be able to live anymore.
As long as Old Ding is there, no matter what bad ideas the eldest daughter has, she can cause trouble and make people uneasy. Nan Nan was so scared that she hid away and dared not come back. At his age, he would be more afraid of trouble than Nan Nan. If he and Old Ding couldn't live like this, then let it go.
After being scolded by Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi, who was still acting stupid, could only stand up woodenly and go into the kitchen to get busy. It was not until Ding Jiayi finished cooking dinner that she realized what the trouble was.
