Qiao Nan took a pair of scissors and cut off the tag, cutting off all the ways Ding Jiayi could return the clothes for money. Then she happily took the new clothes and compared them with herself, and ran to Qiao Dongliang and asked, "Dad, do I look good in them?"
"They look good." Qiao Dongliang said with a smile, "If you like them, wear one to school tomorrow and keep the other for the New Year."
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Even though Qiao Nan was not a real 15-year-old child, she couldn't help but be as happy as a child with the new clothes, and her little face was all red. The
happier Qiao Nan was, the redder Ding Jiayi's eyes became, and her eyes were fierce.
"Since you bought two new clothes for Qiao Nan, Zijin must also have some. Buy her three!" Ding Jiayi made a request.
"No." Qiao Dongliang refused directly: "We agreed that Zijin would be yours and Nannan would be mine. You want to buy three sets of clothes for Zijin? Okay, I won't hold you back, you pay for it yourself." After
spending all the family's savings, Qiao Dongliang has become more cautious and must keep the money tight.
His wife is too bold. She spent all the family's savings without even saying hello to him.
It was one or two months after the money was spent before he, the head of the family, found out. If she
dared to do it this time, she would definitely dare to do it next time.
Their family is not rich to begin with, and they definitely can't afford to spend it this way.
Qiao Dongliang is a bit chauvinistic. It was originally because Ding Jiayi was spending money recklessly. Otherwise, Qiao Dongliang usually didn't want Ding Jiayi to go out to work. It was enough for him to take care of her at home. Qiao Dongliang did
n't care about Ding Jiayi's salary from work, but he had to take care of the money he earned.
No matter how Ding Jiayi loved Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang still didn't care. He still didn't care how Ding Jiayi spent her money.
But when Ding Jiayi wanted to put her hand into his pocket again, Qiao Dongliang was unwilling to do so this time.
"How can it be the same? Zijin is in high school and her expenses are much greater than Qiao Nan's. You earn more than me. Let alone three sets of clothes, I want to buy Zijin ten sets of clothes. Don't I have the money?" Ding Jiayi was unhappy.
Ever since Lao Qiao knew that the family savings were all used up by her, even though she was working, Lao Qiao never gave her a penny from his salary. She
was used to keeping all the money in her hands, and Qiao Dongliang suddenly stopped giving her money. It's not hard to imagine how upset Ding Jiayi felt.
Since she couldn't get the money, she wanted Qiao Dongliang to spend it on Qiao Zijin to prevent Qiao Nan from spending it all. Qiao Dongliang refused. Ding Jiayi was so angry that she wanted to quarrel with Qiao Dongliang.
"I don't care. It's what we agreed on. I know how much you earn. It's not difficult to save some every month to pay Zijin's tuition. You arrange your money and take care of Zijin's affairs. You can do it yourself." Qiao Dongliang became smart and made a lot of calculations in his mind.
The younger daughter never had new clothes, but the older daughter never ran out of new clothes.
At this time, Qiao Dongliang realized that the older daughter lived too extravagantly.
What did Old Ding say at the beginning? Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending. Whose family doesn't live this way? So why didn't he buy new clothes for Nan Nan? Why is it completely different for Zi Jin?
Qiao Dongliang did the math for Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi's salary is not as much as Qiao Dongliang's, but she only needs to give Qiao Zi Jin a living allowance every month and buy her a new set of clothes every quarter. If she saves and manages, there will be no problem in supporting Qiao Zi Jin to finish 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 Zi Jin and Qiao Nan be treated the same? Does Qiao Nan deserve it?
"Why is it different?" Qiao Dongliang sneered: "Tell me, what is different?"
"You, Old 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. I am unreasonable. Tell me, who is unreasonable?" Qiao Dongliang was also drunk. It was obviously Old Ding who was unreasonable, but he still blamed others. How could he do that?
Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi almost quarreled because of this.
Qiao Nan didn't say a word and went back to his room. Based on the principle of not participating and not watching, he quietly did his own things.
"You are still so nice to her. She saw us quarreling, but she didn't help to persuade us and left. You bought her so many new clothes, what a heartless thing!" Ding Jiayi pointed at Qiao Nan's door and screamed at the top of her voice.
Ding Jiayi yelled this to Qiao Nan.
She hoped that Qiao Nan could come out to compromise and then calm down the anger between them.
Qiao Nan, who was staying in the room, acted as if she didn't hear anything. There was no sound at all.
"What's wrong with Nan Nan? We quarreled, and she is just a child. She shouldn't have to take care of it. Do you want her to help you, or do you want to see Nan Nan help me deal with you?" Qiao Dongliang was so angry that he laughed.
In Qiao Dongliang's opinion, Qiao Nan's approach of going back to the room was undoubtedly the most correct.
If Qiao Nan helps him and fights with Lao Ding, it would be unfilial. If she helps Lao Ding to persuade him, it would be incomprehensible.
How can a child interfere in adult affairs? He thinks Nan Nan handles it this way.
"Yes, yes, for you, everything Qiao Nan does is right, and everything I do is wrong. You don't care about Zi Jin now. There is only Qiao Nan in your eyes now. 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 good to her?!" Ding Jiayi said angrily and anxiously: "Why can't you tell the inside from the outside?"
Qiao Nan will get married and be given to someone else, while Zi Jin is the one who will stay in this family forever. No matter how much
you give to Qiao Nan, it will be a bargain for others. Isn't Lao Qiao just being selfish?
"Nonsense." Qiao Dongliang panted: "You don't have to say anything, 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, if it really comes to that, you can figure it out yourself, I will never pay."
Qiao Dongliang was worried that Ding Jiayi would not take his words seriously and spend all her money on Qiao Zijin during the New Year, and then expect him to pay for her eldest daughter's tuition. Qiao Dongliang simply gave Ding Jiayi a heads-up in advance.
