Chapter 2089 Progress
"I do the same. I eat more vegetables and less rice." Ding Jiayi took two big bites of the already pitifully small amount of vegetables on the plate and ate them before taking a bite of rice.
In a few seconds, the food on the plate was eaten up, leaving only a little soup.
Qiao Zijin was completely dumbfounded: "Mom, why did you eat all the food?"
"Didn't you tell me to eat more ingredients?" Oh, the food was delicious and I ate so much.
Qiao Zijin: "..." Qiao Zijin took a deep breath: "Mom, you ate all the food, what should I eat?" You can't let her eat white rice, right? "Mom, didn't you leave some for me?" In the past, her mother always did this, leaving the freshest, most expensive and best part for her to eat alone.
Ding Jiayi stood up and cleared the dishes: "No, didn't I tell you last month that from now on, the three of us will take care of our own business. Don't worry, Zijin, I only treat you as my darling daughter. When Qiao Nan was at home, she did all the work inside and outside the house by herself. You are my darling, so of course I can't ask you to do anything. Your only task is to take care of yourself."
Although she looked down on her neighbor, who had a terrible quarrel with her last time, her neighbor's daughter still failed to pass the civil service exam. What was there for her to be proud of since her daughter was a college student and studied better than Zijin?
But what made Ding Jiayi feel heartbroken was that when she went out to sell money, she saw the girl walking with her neighbor more than once, accompanying the neighbor to buy money early in the morning. She also heard the mother and daughter laughing, and the girl recently learned a dish, and when she returned home, she would cook it for her parents.
At the time, the neighbors objected: "You have a mother at home. How can you, a college student, do things like cooking? You still have to find a job, which is so hard. Let your mother cook the food."
The girl disagreed: "Housework is also very hard. You usually take care of me and my dad, which is very tiring. I am just looking for a job now, and I haven't started working yet, so this is the time when I have free time. It's a rare opportunity to have free time, Mom, you must try my cooking skills, and it's also a rare opportunity for you to take a meal off. When I find a job and start working, if you want me to help you and try my cooking skills, I guess you can only do it on weekends."
Only after meeting other people's daughters did Ding Jiayi learn to distinguish between truth and lies.
Ding Jiayi couldn't help comparing this girl with her two daughters. The eldest daughter Qiao Zijin was much sweeter than this girl. She could coax her into being nice. However, Qiao Zijin was only good at talking. Looking back, her actual behavior was really not as good as Ying's.
Qiao Nan... Qiao Nan never spoke, she was always silent, but whenever Qiao Nan was at home, she was at her most relaxed. She didn't even have to buy food, she just went out to chat with her neighbors. She didn't have to tell anyone anything, Qiao Nan seemed to know what she was thinking, and would always prepare everything she wanted before she opened her mouth.
Comparing her three daughters, Ding Jiayi didn't know whether her own daughter or her neighbor's daughter was better. All she could think of was that if Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan could become one daughter, and her daughter could be as sweet-mouthed as Qiao Zijin and as filial and hardworking as Qiao Nan, then the daughter she gave birth to would be the most perfect daughter in the world.
Ding Jiayi, who only wanted her daughter to be the most perfect daughter, forgot that she herself was not only not a perfect mother, but she was not even as good as the most ordinary mothers in other people's families.
But no matter what, after seeing the neighbor's child, she didn't think she was worse than her neighbor. The neighbor's daughter was indeed good, but when it came to comparison, Qiao Nan was not as sweet as that girl, but in terms of filial piety, the neighbor's child really couldn't compare to Qiao Nan. So, because of Qiao Nan's daughter, she won over her neighbor. They both gave birth to daughters, but the neighbor didn't know how to give birth.
Ding Jiayi's feelings towards her daughter Qiao Nan have changed. When she thinks of Qiao Zijin again, the feeling after the comparison is obviously very different.
She no longer expected to have a meal cooked by Qiao Zijin for her. Who knew that Qiao Zijin was really lazy or something and didn't even want to cook a meal for her. She just waited for her mother to cook for her. Ding Jiayi was unhappy.
What about good filial piety?
Ding Jiayi was angry about a takeaway meal. When Qiao Zijin asked Ding Jiayi to eat with her, Ding Jiayi's initial reaction was reluctance. She was about to refuse. But then she thought about it. She raised Qiao Zijin and paid for her college education until she got married.
She was really good to her daughter Qiao Zijin. She had always thought Qiao Zijin was not doing a good enough job, and she had not felt the filial piety she had promised. So now Qiao Zijin just made a phone call and ordered takeout, why didn't she eat? What right did she have to not eat?
Qiao Zijin was doing this to fill her own stomach. She just ate a few bites. Was that excessive? Not excessive. So, eat!
After only three meals, Qiao Zijin couldn't help but mention not ordering takeout and eating at home before Ding Jiayi softened her temper. Now, Qiao Zijin's previous three thousand yuan for takeout was really wasted.
Qiao Dongliang told Qiao Nan all these things as jokes, hoping that after Qiao Nan knew them, she would feel relieved and her resentment towards the Qiao family would be lessened. Secondly, he treated Qiao Nan as his daughter, a girl from the Qiao family, and hoped that by knowing the Qiao family's affairs, Qiao Nan would slowly let go of her grudges and truly regard the Qiao family as her own family again, rather than an outsider.
Qiao Nan could sense Qiao Dongliang's "good intentions", but she didn't want to agree with them at all: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Qiao Zijin has really been spoiled, so someone has to swallow this cup of bitter wine that they brewed."
Qiao Zijin had long been accustomed to the fact that as long as she opened her mouth, Ding Jiayi would want to present all the good things in the world to Qiao Zijin to declare to everyone that not only did she value Qiao Zijin the most, but Qiao Zijin was also the best child in the world.
Now Qiao Zijin has to make real efforts to prove her "filial piety". How can Qiao Zijin, who has not yet adapted to this change, control her most essential and true inner world? Of course, compared with the previous talk without action, Qiao Zijin's spending a thousand yuan this time is a considerable improvement.
