Chapter 2230: Not Enough IQ
Qiao Zijin's face darkened, and she spat in her heart: a bunch of flatterers. With just a little favor, they were bought off. They could have been a little more tolerant. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Nan didn't invite the neighbors from the North Courtyard to the wedding banquet when she got married. Many people said sour words, scolding Qiao Nan for not recognizing people now that she was rich.
Thinking of being neighbors with such people, Qiao Zijin was also very upset. It really lowered her standards: "Mom, Mom, I'm back?" Didn't they say that a lot of things were sent? She only saw the things vaguely once, and knew that the package was particularly large. But what was inside, Qiao Zijin didn't know.
What Qiao Zijin could think of was that since there were gifts prepared by Qiao Zijin for the neighbors. She was Qiao Nan's biological sister. It was impossible that Qiao Nan prepared gifts for outsiders and left out her biological sister, right? After all, she went to the capital this time to see the pregnant Qiao Nan, and she did not leave until the three children were one month old. Qiao Nan should at least appreciate her kindness, right?
"You are back?" Ding Jiayi wiped the water from her hands, her eyes lit up. Old Qiao and Zijin are back, and she will no longer be alone in this home.
Once, Ding Jiayi was particularly disgusted, thinking that her home was old and small, not as spacious and bright as the suite. But in the past month, she was the only one left in the house, and Ding Jiayi realized that her home was actually not small. Sometimes, when Ding Jiayi was a little timid, or when she heard some noise outside, she felt that her home was so big that it made people feel uneasy.
Now that the family of three was reunited, Ding Jiayi's courage suddenly grew: "You must be tired, sit down quickly, I'll pour you and your dad a glass of water, you can take a rest." Seeing the exhausted father and daughter, Ding Jiayi was particularly happy, and the expression on her face looked much calmer than before.
Qiao Dongliang felt much more relaxed without any luggage around him, but he was older, so he looked more tired than Qiao Zijin: "I heard from the neighbors that my package has arrived. Where are the things? You didn't open it and mess around with them, did you?"
"No." Ding Jiayi waved her hands hurriedly, fearing that Qiao Dongliang would misunderstand her: "Look, there's such a big bag of things piled there. I thought that if you and Zijin could arrive today, I wouldn't open it for you. Then, don't mess up your things. If something is missing, you won't be able to figure it out."
The main reason was that the relationship between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang was not as good as before. Ding Jiayi didn't dare to open Qiao Dongliang's things without permission, for fear of being scolded by Qiao Dongliang. Like before, when the couple had a good relationship, Ding Jiayi would not dare to touch anything that belonged to Qiao Dongliang.
"Yeah." Thinking that he had told the neighbors, Qiao Dongliang cut the bag with scissors after drinking the water: "This set of clothes is for you for the New Year. Take it back to your room." Qiao Dongliang easily took out a set of women's clothes from the package and stuffed it into Ding Jiayi's hand.
He only said that this set of clothes was bought specifically for Ding Jiayi, but Qiao Dongliang did not mention who bought it and who paid for it. But even if Qiao Dongliang did not mention it, the three people in the room knew it well. Apart from Qiao Nan, there is no other person who would pay for Ding Jiayi's new clothes for the New Year.
After Qiao Dongliang retired, his pension was very low. In a capital city like that, Qiao Dongliang's one-month pension might not be enough to buy a good suit, let alone a suit for Ding Jiayi: "By the way, be careful when you wear it, the price... is not cheap."
Qiao Dongliang felt particularly distressed when he thought of the price of this suit. If Qiao Nan had not already bought it when he knew about it, and it was not convenient to return it, he would never let Qiao Nan buy clothes at this price. The clothes all looked the same. Such clothes would cost a few hundred yuan at most if you changed the brand in Pingcheng, but in the capital, it would cost four figures, almost three thousand yuan, just for a coat!
If Ding Jiayi was a good mother,
Qiao Nan would buy clothes of this price for Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Dongliang would think it was inappropriate, not to mention that Ding Jiayi was not a good mother, so how could she enjoy such filial piety from Qiao Nan. Ding Jiayi was not blind, so she naturally saw the tag on the brand new clothes. Seeing the four-digit price tag, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little pain: "Is there a discount?"
"Discount?" Qiao Dongliang sneered: "How can there be a discount? There is no discount at all. It's a pity that I'm not here. If I were here, I would let her buy you this kind of clothes. Ding Jiayi, touch your chest and see if the things there are still there. Do you think you deserve these good things that Nannan bought for you? Remember, when you want to do something that is not good for Nannan, think about these things, don't be shameless."
His ID card, bus tickets, and money were all taken away by Ding Jiayi. Because of Ding Jiayi's behavior, he wasted several bus tickets. Until now, Qiao Dongliang is still very angry. With hundreds of dollars, she could buy one of her grandsons a nice set of clothes, but all the money was wasted by Ding Jiayi in the end.
Ding Jiayi felt hot and uncomfortable. She had never worn such expensive clothes in her life. When Qiao Zijin got married well, she wanted Qiao Zijin to buy her a coat worth more than 800 yuan, but Qiao Zijin said that winter was almost over, and when winter came next year, all these clothes would become old styles, and she could get rid of them by then.
Ding Jiayi really likes to wear good clothes. Her requirements are not high, she just wants to enjoy this blessing. The most expensive clothes Qiao Zijin bought for Ding Jiayi were only 300 yuan, and none of them exceeded 500 yuan. The clothes Qiao Nan bought for her were almost 3,000 yuan. For a moment, Ding Jiayi felt as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Qiao Zijin on the side rolled her eyes, saying that her parents were really easy to bribe. Since when did her mother become so easily satisfied and moved? Clothes cost only a few thousand yuan, how could she be moved? For example, some foreign brand-name clothes now cost tens of thousands of yuan, okay? If Qiao Nan really repays evil with kindness, why didn't he buy clothes of that price for their family?
It's just that her parents are so deceitful and have low IQ. They are moved by Qiao Nan just because the clothes look a little expensive.
No matter how much she complained about it, it was hers and Qiao Zijin would not give it up. The clothes Qiao Nan bought were indeed not worth tens of thousands, but thousands, which was really expensive in the eyes of Pingcheng people.
