Chapter 1568: I can only go back temporarily
"Mom, you gave me too little. This little money is only enough for me to buy two plane tickets. Yingying can't afford it. You have to pay full price for a bus or a plane now. You didn't give me the money for Yingying's plane tickets."
"I did, didn't you? Is the money I gave you enough to buy two plane tickets? One for you and one for Yingying, isn't that exactly two?" Why is it not enough?
"What should I do when I come back?" I'm still short of money for a plane ticket!
Ding Jiayi answered while doing housework: "You have at least some money, right? If you don't have enough money for the return flight, you can take the train. If that doesn't work, you can still take the car. You don't have a job now, you don't have a salary, and the Zhou family doesn't give you money. Your mother can't work and can't make a lot of money in her life. All the food and things I use are given by Nan Nan. I and Nan Nan is in such a mess all because of you. I no longer expect you to support me, and I have never asked you for money. Zijin, you should also be considerate of me as a mother. You can't be a mother yourself and still ask me for money, right? What kind of example are you going to set for Yingying? How are you doing now? Aren't you afraid that Yingying will be like you in the future?"
When she thought about the fact that her eldest daughter was already a mother, who was just as old as her, but did not go out to work and would just ask others for money when it came to money, Ding Jiayi's mentality could not help but change drastically.
If she had money, she would have no problem giving her daughter as much as she wanted. But the most important thing now was that she herself had no money, and all she spent was from Qiao Nan. If she spent all her money early, Qiao Nan would definitely not give her any more. Ding Jiayi had tried and was sure of this.
The promising daughter had a bad relationship with her, and she was just short of severing the mother-daughter relationship with her. She could only give her living expenses every month, which was already the bottom line for Qiao Nan. What made Ding Jiayi most uncomfortable was that her eldest daughter, whom she had high hopes for and cherished, turned out to be useless. Before getting married, she asked for money from her, and after getting married, she asked for money from her husband's family.
She didn't want to enjoy such a good life, but cheated on her son-in-law. Now, her eldest daughter came to ask for money with her granddaughter. Even though the money for two plane tickets was enough to cover her living expenses for half a month.
In recent years, the price of goods has risen so horribly that Ding Jiayi never thought that one day, not only rice would become more expensive, but even a handful of green vegetables would be as expensive as meat. She had to fight with Qiao Nan to raise the living expenses. Otherwise, Ding Jiayi was ready to take the living expenses Qiao Nan gave her every month, and ask for a plane ticket, and just go back to Pingcheng to live.
However, Ding Jiayi refused to mention the increase in her living expenses, and had no intention of letting Qiao Zijin know.
Because she knew that if Qiao Zijin knew that her living expenses had increased, not only would she find all kinds of reasons to ask her for money, but Qiao Zijin would definitely refuse to give in until she got the money. If that were the case, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
The older she got, the more panicked Ding Jiayi became. She attached great importance to money. Who let her two daughters be in such a situation? She had to be on guard against Qiao Nan's unwillingness to pay attention to her, and she had to be prepared for Qiao Zijin to have problems at any time. Especially when she was sick, she had to take care of herself and spend money on her medical treatment.
If Qiao Zijin could take care of her own situation a little less and cause less trouble to her, she would be considered very filial to her mother.
Both daughters were unreliable, so Ding Jiayi decided to hold on to the money she had earned and rely on herself. She would fight anyone who dared to dig into her coffin, and the same result happened to her favorite eldest daughter.
For this reason, when Qiao Zijin asked for money today, Ding Jiayi insisted that she only had enough money for two tickets. If she wasn't so bad at buying tickets, Ding Jiayi would have wanted to check the flights herself to determine which flight had the cheapest ticket price, and then she would have bought it directly and given Qiao Zijin the ready-made ticket money. Every dollar saved counts.
Therefore, Ding Jiayi has already made up her mind that she will learn how to use a smartphone. According to others, in the future, not only ordinary bus tickets, train tickets, but also flight tickets can be purchased at home without leaving the house.
This way, if she encounters such a situation again in the future, she won't have to spend any more money.
"You want me to take the train when I come back?" Qiao Zijin looked at Ding Jiayi in disbelief: "You know it takes more than ten hours to take the train. It's not like taking a plane which only takes two or three hours." How can a train be as comfortable and fast as a plane?
Ding Jiayi was annoyed: "It's good to take a plane, but it's expensive. You need to have money to fly back. It's easier to fly, and I'm not stopping you from spending the money for the ticket. When the time comes, you can decide how to come back. I don't care."
As long as she doesn't have to pay, she doesn't care whether she takes the train or the plane.
After saying this, Ding Jiayi returned to her room, too lazy to face Qiao Zijin who always asked her for money. Today, she had to return to her big room, otherwise Zijin would forget who was the owner of this house if she stayed there for too long.
"Mom, I've already packed my schoolbag, please take me back to grandma's house." Zhou Ying didn't care what her mother and grandmother were arguing about, she only knew that she had to go back to her grandma's house and go back to school.
Qiao Zijin looked so embarrassed and confused that she almost broke her back teeth. Ding Jiayi refused to give Qiao Zijin money, and Qiao Zijin was the kind of person who would rather enjoy more happiness herself than leave it all to her children. She wanted to be the owner of the two plane tickets.
The problem was that when she returned to Pingcheng, she, as a mother, couldn't just leave her ten-year-old daughter alone on the train, letting her daughter take a train for more than ten hours to return to Pingcheng, while she would only take a two or three-hour flight to Pingcheng. If she really wanted to let her daughter go back alone, Qiao Zijin only needed to buy one plane ticket for Zhou Ying and save the money for the other ticket for herself.
After all, her daughter was her own, and no matter how unreliable Qiao Zijin usually was, she would not make such a stupid mistake at this time. After taking a few breaths, Qiao Zijin immediately bought two cheapest tickets back to Pingcheng that afternoon. After having dinner with Zhou Ying at Ding Jiayi's home, the mother and daughter set off to take the plane.
At times like this, flight tickets are usually the cheapest at around 8 or 9 p.m.
While waiting for the plane, Zhou Ying fell asleep. Qiao Zijin had no choice but to hold Zhou Ying and let the child sleep in her arms. Since they didn't have much luggage, holding a daughter was not a big problem for Qiao Zijin.
