Chapter 1998: Let's talk
Knowing the cause of Qiao Dongliang's injury, the doctor could only say that as a family member of the patient, he was not careful enough in taking care of the elderly. Not only did he fall hard, but he also suffered a second injury.
"Thank you, doctor." Qiao Nan was not surprised to know that Qiao Dongliang was fine. In her dreams, Qiao Dongliang had suffered more serious injuries than this, and he was admitted to the hospital and recovered.
"It's okay." After the doctor finished his instructions, he left.
Qiao Nan, accompanied by Zhai Sheng, sent Qiao Dongliang to the ward. Perhaps it was because the hospital was quiet these days, and Qiao Dongliang was the only one living in the double-bed room for the time being. As soon as the nurse left, in addition to the three women of the Qiao family, there was only one more person, Zhai Sheng.
Qiao Dongliang hadn't woken up yet, and none of the four awake people were willing to speak up. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Qiao Zijin put her arms around her waist and secretly touched Ding Jiayi with the back of her hand, asking Ding Jiayi to speak up. Ding Jiayi's face was frozen. If Zhai Sheng wasn't there, she would have scolded Qiao Nan so badly that Qiao Nan would never be able to raise her head again. But because of the presence of Zhai Sheng, Ding Jiayi really didn't know what to say.
Qiao Nan had been away from home for so long, and Ding Jiayi couldn't say anything to show her concern for her. If she scolded, with such a tall and big Zhai Sheng standing next to Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi always had the illusion that if she scolded Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng would definitely hit her.
Ding Jiayi was just scared. Except for being cruel to Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang, she was basically useless at other times. Zhai Sheng's aura was extraordinary. People with bad intentions like Ding Jiayi were even more scared when they saw Zhai Sheng.
But she had to say something. On the one hand, Qiao Zijin urged her, and on the other hand, if she didn't say anything, Qiao Nan might just leave. Thinking about Qiao Dongliang's injury this time, not only did he need to be hospitalized, but after returning home, he still had to recuperate and so on, which would cost a lot of money. There is one thing that Zijin said is right. Lao Qiao is not Zijin's father alone. Qiao Nan was also born and raised by her and Lao Qiao.
Lao Qiao had such an incident, and Qiao Nan must pay for Lao Qiao's recovery. Zijin is divorced and has no job. If Lao Qiao's burden falls on Zijin alone, how can Zijin bear it?
After clearing her throat, Ding Jiayi looked at Zhai Sheng with a guilty look before saying, "Qiao Nan, your father was injured so seriously this time. All the nutritional supplements and the like will cost money. What kind of rules do you think should be set for this matter?"
In front of Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan didn't mind letting Zhai Sheng understand the situation of the Qiao family more thoroughly and deeply. Family shame should not be made public? A few months ago, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were in the news every day. What other family shame in the Qiao family was unknown to outsiders: "Although Dad hasn't woken up, among the three of us, Mom, you are the elder. Besides you, Qiao Zijin is also older than me, right? I think it's quite funny. I didn't even ask why my dad was injured and saved face for you. Why did you ask me to come up with a plan?"
Ding Jiayi would not look at Brother Zhai beside her. Because of her face, she would act like a good person and take all the things on herself to prove that she was a good daughter and a good sister when she was at her mother's house, right?
You know what, Ding Jiayi did mean that. Judging others by oneself, Ding Jiayi herself is such a person. She thinks that it is not strange at all that Qiao Nan would have such an idea. On the contrary, it is strange that Qiao Nan is so reckless that she exposes the ugly family of the Qiao family to Zhai Sheng. There is
marriage and divorce, not to mention that Qiao Nan has not married Zhai Sheng
yet. Zhai Sheng can regret it at any time and not marry Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan's non-cooperation made Ding Jiayi very angry. If Zhai Sheng hadn't been there, Ding Jiayi would not only glare at Qiao Nan, she would definitely scold and hit Qiao Nan at the same time: "There is no way, you know the situation of our family best. Among our family of four, you are the most capable and have the most money in your pocket. Your father is in the hospital, who else can I go to if not you?"
"Go find your eldest daughter who has just graduated from college and has a promising future!" Qiao Nan sneered: "Over the years, haven't you whispered these words to me often enough? Haven't you always said that Qiao Zijin is more promising than me, and you can't count on me. Is she the only one who can let you live a good life and support you and dad in your old age? You and dad are both in your sixties, and she is also forty-two years old. If she doesn't let you enjoy your life now, when will she go? I'm a useless dead girl. It's good enough that I'm not a burden to you. I can still surpass her and be more capable than her. Are you kidding me?"
Ding Jiayi has been chanting these words in Qiao Nan's ears for more than twenty years, like an old monk chanting scriptures, ever since Qiao Nan was in school and Qiao Zijin was in high school. Qiao Nan could recite every word of these sentences by heart without even having to memorize them.
When he heard Ding Jiayi say that she was the most capable person in the family and earned the most money, Qiao Nan could only laugh. Really, only when she spends money does she have a little influence in this family and in the eyes of the people in this family: "Don't be angry yet. Think about how you treat me. Yes, you are still my parents, so I will not run away from my responsibilities. Qiao Zijin is divorced and I am not married yet. My situation is not much different from Qiao Zijin's. When I really get married, I will have my own private life. My father is in the hospital, and I have already paid 50,000. As for the expenses you mentioned later, it's very simple. Qiao Zijin and I will share it equally."
From the first day she secretly left the hospital and lived alone for more than half a year, the people in the Qiao family should have understood that she was no longer the Qiao Nan who let them have whatever they wanted.
Those who should be raised should be raised, but Qiao Zijin should not try to escape her responsibilities.
"You..." Qiao Nan no longer treated her words as imperial decrees, and dared to go beyond her, really treating herself as the boss and making a rule. Ding Jiayi felt that Qiao Nan was challenging her prestige. All of a sudden, Ding Jiayi was so angry that she sneered: "No, you... do you still have a conscience? Your sister is divorced, don't you know? She has some money in her hands, but she still has a long life ahead of her. You can't let your sister spend all her money now and then live a miserable life in the future, right? Could it be that after your sister's money is spent, you will be responsible for supporting your sister in the future?"
If that's the case, then it's okay.
