Chapter 1529 Follow the example
Such expensive rent is already half of Ding Jiayi's monthly living expenses: "Don't compare everything in Pingcheng with the capital. I've experienced it. With the same living expenses of 1,000 yuan, the quality of life in Pingcheng is totally incomparable to that in the capital."
"Five, five times?" This time, Ding Jiayi was completely speechless. In her life, except for the few years when she had just divorced Qiao Dongliang and had to work to support Qiao Zijin in high school, she returned home again and lived a leisurely life, especially the year when Qiao Nan started to give her living expenses.
Ding Jiayi, who has work experience, knows that if she didn't have a daughter like Qiao Nan, she wouldn't be able to have such a home in the capital even if she worked. The monthly rent is more than 500 yuan. When she was working before, she could only earn 200 or 300 yuan a month at most.
In other words, her salary is not enough to pay the rent, let alone her own food and drink.
"That's good to know. If everything is OK, I'll give you this month's living expenses right in front of you. I don't need to worry about you anymore, right?" Qiao Nan put a thousand yuan in cash on the table and handed it to Ding Jiayi. After completing this last step, Qiao Nan prepared to leave.
Qiao Nan ignored Qiao Zijin, who had been observing the situation in the room, and looked as if she didn't see any mercy at all.
After looking around the room she lived in, Qiao Zijin looked at Grandpa Mao on the table, her eyes lit up: "Mom..." Qiao Zijin thought that she was short of money recently, so could she lend her the thousand first and she would pay it back later.
Unfortunately, there is no mother and daughter in front of money. Ding Jiayi was one step faster than Qiao Zijin and took the money: "Okay, I got this month's living expenses, and I won't ask you for it again."
When she was in Pingcheng, she had enough to eat and drink, and she could save most of her money every month. But after arriving in the capital, she was afraid that she would not be able to save much more than the thousand yuan in a month.
In the past, Ding Jiayi would never let Qiao Zijin touch the money. Now, this one thousand yuan might become tight for Ding Jiayi, and it is even more impossible for Ding Jiayi to let Qiao Zijin get involved: "It's okay, you can go back. You are so busy at work, I won't keep you away. But, can I ask, where does your father live? Is he also in this area? Actually..."
Even if she and Lao Qiao are divorced, they are still the original couple, and whether they remarry or not will be decided later. Instead of letting Qiao Nan rent two houses, it is better to let her live with Lao Qiao, and Qiao Nan can save the rent of one house. I think if she lives with Lao Qiao, Qiao Nan should change her house to a bigger one, right?
Ding Jiayi was used to living in a larger space before, and suddenly she felt suffocated living in such a place.
"Dad doesn't know you're here yet. This is Dad's phone number. If you can't wait, you can contact Dad yourself first." Apart from this, she didn't interfere with anything else.
"Okay." Ding Jiayi took Qiao Dongliang's phone again and didn't show it to Qiao Zijin. She was worried that Qiao Zijin didn't get the money from her, and when the time came, she would use this phone to contact Qiao Dongliang, and she didn't know what kind of excuse she would make up to coax the money out of Qiao Dongliang.
Not only the money in her hand, even the money in Lao Qiao's hand could not be given to Zijin even a penny.
Thinking that Qiao Zijin was already in her thirties, she had never received a penny from her. Instead, Qiao Zijin had lived in her parents' home for two months, and all her food and drink were provided by her. During these two months, Qiao Zijin had no intention of giving her any support for the household expenses. The more Qiao Zijin was like this, the more Ding Jiayi began to value money.
She also had to eat the rice and vegetables, so it was okay to leave a bite for Qiao Zijin, after all, she was her own child. But if Ding Jiayi was asked to give Qiao Zijin her own money, she would not be so generous.
Otherwise, under Qiao Zijin's care, the money in Ding Jiayi's hands would have been coaxed by Qiao Zijin to buy a house.
Ding Jiayi not only had to keep a close eye on her own money, she also had to keep a close eye on Qiao Dongliang's money. She knew that among the four people in their family, Qiao Zijin had the coldest and hardest heart. If she needed money for something in the future, Qiao Nan would pay half, but Qiao Zijin was unwilling to pay. If the money was really not enough, Qiao Dongliang would know her situation and would definitely not stand idly by.
Ding Jiayi was not afraid that Qiao Dongliang would be coaxed by Qiao Zijin and give her the money. She was worried that when she needed it, Qiao Zijin would coax all of Qiao Dongliang's money and she would not be able to give it to her.
In Ding Jiayi's eyes, there is not much difference between Qiao Dongliang's money and her money, so she has to take care of both aspects and never give Qiao Zijin any chance to take advantage of her.
Ding Jiayi's method of preventing thieves was the same, but it made Qiao Zijin very angry. Aren't they all getting confused as they get older? Shouldn't they get more confused as they get older? Why did she feel that her mother was getting smarter and smarter?
When she was young, her mother was much easier to coax. But in recent years, she has not received a penny except for eating and drinking at her mother's house. She is very angry. I really don't understand. This money is not earned by her mother, but all given by Qiao Nan. They are all taking advantage of Qiao Nan. Why can only her mother take this advantage, and she can't touch a single bill? What's the logic!
"Okay, I'm leaving. I told you where the market is when you came here, and you can handle it on your own from now on." Qiao Nan didn't even bother to look at the fight between Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi, she just took her bag and left.
Qiao Zijin stamped her feet, chased out, and stopped Qiao Nan: "Nan Nan, I want to discuss something with you. I left in such a hurry this time that I have spent all the cash I have. Can you lend me some money? Not too much, just a few thousand yuan. I will return it to you when I get back and have money, okay?"
"No." Qiao Nan refused: "First, you don't have a job; second, Zhou Zheng wants to divorce you. Once you two divorce, you will no longer have the living expenses that Zhou Zheng gave you. You asked me to borrow money? What are you going to pay back? You are not borrowing money, you are asking for money. Don't think of yourself as a high-class beggar, and don't think that the money in other people's pockets, especially my money, is blown by the wind."
After ruthlessly rejecting Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan left happily this time and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to continue his work.
Li Dawei looked at the clock in the office and said, "Minister Qiao's lunch break today was a bit long, half an hour later than usual." As a minister, is it really good for him to take the lead in arriving late and leaving early? In the future, can they follow suit?
