Chapter 202 You Are Not Afraid, I Am
Qiao Nan hid this place so well, she didn't believe that this place didn't have any flowers.
"Zijin, what on earth do you want to do?" Ding Jiayi looked at Qiao Zijin in confusion: "Knowing this place, what's the point? Qiao Nan, that damn girl, has been extremely evil since last year. I think it's better not to cause so much trouble, otherwise we will not always fail to take Qiao Nan into account and end up losing us instead."
Qiao Zijin was not afraid, but Ding Jiayi was a little scared.
She had been married to Qiao Dongliang for so many years, and although they had quarreled before, none of them were like the last few times. Not only did they quarrel until their eyes turned red, but Qiao Dongliang even slapped her in the face.
Compared to other men who like to beat their wives to vent their anger when things don't go their way, Qiao Dongliang has always been a good man.
If Ding Jiayi hadn't pushed Qiao Dongliang too far this time, Qiao Dongliang wouldn't have touched even a hair of Ding Jiayi.
It is because of this that Ding Jiayi felt afraid.
The man who never spared his wife suddenly attacked her. Ding Jiayi still can't forget the feeling of that slap.
"If you work hard with me for another half a month and make more handicrafts, you will be able to get enough money for your tuition. Don't make so many things happen. Zijin, be good and listen to your mother. I will never lie to you." Touching Qiao Zijin's head, Ding Jiayi really didn't want to plot against Qiao Nan this time.
Why did they have to drag Qiao Nan into something that Yi Zheng and her daughter could handle, and make a simple situation extremely complicated? What's the point? It's just asking for trouble.
After that, without caring about Qiao Zijin's reaction, Ding Jiayi went straight to prepare dinner.
"Hmph!" Seeing Ding Jiayi walking away, Qiao Zijin stomped her feet in anger. Her mother had always supported her in the past, so what happened to her mother today?
After all, it was not Qiao Zijin who received that slap, so Qiao Zijin really had no idea how powerful Qiao Dongliang's slap was to Ding Jiayi.
However, Qiao Zijin was not someone who gave up easily. She was not sure about other things, but encouraging Ding Jiayi was the only thing Qiao Zijin was good at. If it didn't work today, she would try tomorrow. She didn't believe that she couldn't find a chance to get her mother to agree.
Qiao Zijin's sixth sense told her that once Ding Jiayi discovered the place where Qiao Nan hid her money and books, she would definitely cause trouble.
The most important thing is that for Qiao Zijin, there is no other safe place in the world to put money except home, but Qiao Nan found it. This shows that this place is safer and more reassuring than home for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Zijin raised one corner of her mouth and said, "Qiao Nan, ah, Qiao Nan, you must not let me catch you in any way, otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Being pulled by Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin had no choice but to endure the hardship for half a month, doing manual labor with both hands. She was so exhausted that her hands were bruised. The pain made Qiao Zijin unable to sleep well at night.
Even so, the money that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin earned was just enough to pay Qiao Zijin's tuition.
Now, all the family money, except for Qiao Nan's, that earned by Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang was controlled by Qiao Dongliang. Ding Jiayi was left with only the two yuan that Qiao Dongliang gave her.
Ding Jiayi can use the two yuan, but she must be clear about how it is spent. If it is spent appropriately, Qiao Dongliang will give Ding Jiayi two more yuan. If it is spent inappropriately, Qiao Dongliang will let Ding Jiayi go hungry and will not care whether Ding Jiayi has enough to spend.
Once Qiao Dongliang showed this attitude, Ding Jiayi didn't dare to open the stove to give Qiao Zijin any more money.
Ding Jiayi is strictly controlled by Qiao Dongliang, and Qiao Zijin's situation is definitely not much better than Ding Jiayi's.
After Qiao Dongliang found out about the price of food in Qiao Zijin's school, he strictly calculated Qiao Zijin's half-month meal expenses, and then gave Qiao Zijin one more dollar every half month on top of this meal expense.
At that time, a pencil cost only two or three cents, and a ballpoint pen only fifty cents.
So this one dollar is enough for Qiao Zijin to buy two pens that she can use alternately.
As for Qiao Zijin's meal money, Qiao Dongliang only charged Qiao Zijin for one meal of meat out of three.
Qiao Zijin was not satisfied with this. Even if there couldn't be meat for every meal, there should at least be meat for two meals. It was too little to pay for only one meal with meat and vegetables.
Qiao Dongliang directly stated that if Qiao Zijin felt that it was okay for him and Ding Jiayi to not eat a piece of meat in a week at home, then he could give Qiao Zijin meat every day.
Qiao Dongliang has said so much. Unless Qiao Zijin wants Qiao Dongliang to think that she is an unfilial daughter, she has to pretend to agree.
As a result, not only did Qiao Zijin's pocket money shrink to nothing, but her food money also decreased by one-third compared to before.
Looking at the pitiful amount of money in her hand, Qiao Zijin almost cried. If her classmates knew about her situation, how would they look at her? They would definitely think she was poor.
Qiao Dongliang made the rules in a very decisive manner, and Ding Jiayi obeyed without thinking. Although Qiao Zijin was unwilling to accept it, she had no choice but to obey.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Dongliang was still at home, doing odd jobs assigned by the factory. Ding Jiayi was still at work, while Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin resumed their classroom life.
"Finally, I'm in high school." Looking at Pingcheng High School, Zhao Yu's heart was filled with high ambitions and excitement.
Zhao Yu was devastated for a long time after "failing" in the high school entrance examination. She almost did not go out for the entire summer vacation and locked herself in the room. The Zhao family was almost scared to the point of calling the police, who forcibly dragged Zhao Yu out of the room.
In the end, no one knew what Zhao Jiarao said that made Zhao Yu realize what was going on. He opened the door and walked out of the room, cheered himself up, and decided to start over again.
Looking at the high school which is much bigger than the middle school, Zhao Yu is full of ambition. This is Pingcheng High School, not a junior high school, so Qiao Nan is not here.
She had always been suppressed by Qiao Nan, which made her waist bent. The more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made.
As long as she calmed down, she could at least recover her initial academic performance and become a top student in Pingcheng High School. When she took the college entrance examination, she would definitely get a good score and become a student in a first-class university.
Yes, as long as Qiao Nan is not around, her life is beautiful and her future is bright.
As for Qiao Nan, she will completely put this person out of her mind from this semester.
"Please move aside, classmate. You are blocking the door." Zhao Yu was looking forward to a better future when a familiar and annoying voice came from behind. Zhao Yu froze in his tracks: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
