Chapter 2223: Not Enough IQ
Qiao Zijin's face darkened, and she spat in her heart: a bunch of flatterers. With just a little favor, they were bought off. They could have been more tolerant. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Nan didn't invite the neighbors from the North Courtyard to the wedding banquet when she got married. Many people made sour remarks, saying that Qiao Nan didn't recognize people because he was rich.
Thinking about being neighbors with such people, Qiao Zijin was also very upset. She really lowered her standards: "Mom, Mom, I'm back?" No, a lot of things were sent. She only saw the things vaguely once and knew that the package was particularly large. But what was inside, Qiao Zijin didn't know.
What Qiao Zijin could think of was that since there were gifts prepared by Qiao Zijin for the neighbors, she was Qiao Nan's biological sister. Qiao Nan couldn't have prepared gifts for everyone but left out her biological sister, right? After all, she went to the capital this time to see Qiao Nan who was pregnant, and she didn't leave until the three children were one month old. Qiao Nan should at least appreciate her kindness, right?
"You guys are back?" Ding Jiayi wiped the water off her hands, her eyes brightening. Lao Qiao and Zijin were back, and she would no longer be alone in this home.
Ding Jiayi once felt particularly disgusted with her home, thinking it was old and not as spacious and bright as the suite. But in the past month, she was the only person left in the house, and she realized that her home was no longer suitable. Sometimes, when Ding Jiayi was a little timid or heard some noise outside, she felt that her home was so big that it made people feel uneasy.
Now that the family of three are reunited, Ding Jiayi's courage is suddenly boosted: "You must be tired, sit down quickly, I'll pour you and your dad a glass of water, you can take a rest." Seeing the exhausted father and daughter, Ding Jiayi is particularly happy, and the expression on her face looks much calmer than before.
Qiao Dongliang, who had no luggage, felt much more relaxed, but he was older, so he looked more tired than Qiao Zijin: "I heard from my neighbor that my package has arrived. Where are the things? Did you open them and mess with them?"
"No," Ding Jiayi waved her hands quickly, fearing that Qiao Dongliang would misunderstand her: "Look, there's such a big bag of stuff piled there. I thought that if you and Zijin could make it today, I wouldn't open it for you. Then, don't mess up your things. If something is missing, you won't be able to figure it out."
The main reason was that the relationship between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang was not as good as before. Ding Jiayi did not dare to take Qiao Dongliang's things without permission, fearing that Qiao Dongliang would scold her. In the past, when the couple had a good relationship, Ding Jiayi would not dare to touch anything that belonged to Qiao Dongliang.
"Yeah." Thinking that he had already told the neighbors, Qiao Dongliang cut the bag with scissors after drinking the water: "This set of clothes is for you for the New Year. Take it back to your room." Qiao Dongliang easily took out a set of women's clothes from the package and stuffed it into Ding Jiayi's hand.
He only knew that this set of clothes was bought specially for Ding Jiayi, but Qiao Dongliang did not mention who bought it or who paid for it. But even if Qiao Dongliang did not mention it, the three people in the room knew it well. Apart from Qiao Nan, there was no other person who would pay for Ding Jiayi's new clothes for the New Year.
After Qiao Dongliang retired, his pension was very low. In a capital city like that, Qiao Dongliang's one-month pension might not be enough to buy a good suit, let alone one for Ding Jiayi. "By the way, be careful when you wear it, the price... is not cheap."
When Qiao Dongliang thought about the price of this suit, he felt a pain in his heart. If Qiao Nan had not already bought it when he found out, and it was inconvenient to return it, he would never have let Qiao Nan buy clothes at this price. The clothes looked similar. Such clothes would cost a few hundred yuan at most if they were sold by another brand in Pingcheng, but in the capital, it would cost four figures, almost three thousand yuan, just for a coat!
If Ding Jiayi was a good mother, Qiao Dongliang would feel it was inappropriate for Qiao Nan to buy clothes of this price for Ding Jiayi. Not to mention, Ding Jiayi is not a good mother, so how could she be qualified to enjoy such filial piety from Qiao Nan.
Ding Jiayi was not blind, so she naturally saw the tag on the brand new clothes. Seeing the four-digit price tag, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart: "Is there a discount?"
"Discount?" Qiao Dongliang sneered, "How can there be a discount? There is no discount at all. It's a pity that I'm not here. If I were here, I would have asked her to buy you this kind of clothes. Ding Jiayi, touch your chest and see if the things there are still there. Do you think you deserve all the good things that Nan Nan bought for you? Remember, when you are about to do something to let Nan Nan down, think about these things and don't be so shameless."
Ding Jiayi had taken away his ID card, bus tickets, and money. Because of Ding Jiayi's behavior, he wasted several bus tickets, and Qiao Dongliang is still furious. He had several hundred dollars, which could have been used to buy a nice set of clothes for one of his grandchildren, but in the end, all the money was wasted by Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi felt a burning pain on her face. She had never worn such expensive clothes in her life. When Qiao Zijin got married, she wanted Qiao Zijin to buy her a coat worth more than 800 yuan, but Qiao Zijin said that winter was almost over and when next winter came, all these clothes would become old styles and she would send them away.
Ding Jiayi really likes to wear nice clothes. She doesn't have high requirements, she just wants to enjoy this blessing. The most expensive clothes Qiao Zijin has ever bought for Ding Jiayi cost only three hundred yuan, and none of them cost more than five hundred yuan. The clothes Qiao Nan bought for her cost almost three thousand yuan. For a moment, Ding Jiayi felt as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn't utter a word.
Qiao Zijin on the side rolled her eyes, saying that her parents were really easy to bribe. Since when did her mother become so easily satisfied and moved? Clothes cost only a few thousand yuan, how could she be moved? For example, some foreign brand-name clothes now cost tens of thousands of yuan, okay? If Qiao Nan really repays evil with kindness, why didn't he buy clothes of that price for the people in his family?
It's just that her parents are so deceitful and have low IQ. They were so moved by Qiao Nan just because she looked a little bit expensive.
No matter how much she complained about it, it was hers and Qiao Zijin would not give it up. The clothes Qiao Nan bought were indeed not worth tens of thousands, but thousands, which was really expensive in the eyes of Pingcheng people.
