Chapter 2231: Holding Back the Tears
The word "guts" rarely appears in Ding Jiayi's description. Ding Jiayi has always been accustomed to leaving something to chance.
Just like before, she also looked down on Qiao Nan and thought that Qiao Nan would never achieve anything in her life. But even so, Ding Jiayi never had any similar feelings. Even if Qiao Nan really became successful, she would definitely not care about Qiao Nan's filial piety, because she still had Qiao Zijin, a promising eldest daughter.
Ding Jiayi would never say something like this that could easily embarrass her or give others a handle.
"Old Qiao, lunch is ready, come out and eat quickly. You've slept too much for nothing, and you may not be able to sleep at night." It seems that Ding Jiayi, who seems to be more open-minded, and Qiao Dongliang's relationship has become more harmonious and not as stiff as before.
Ding Jiayi thought it all out in one moment.
Originally, this house should be their joint property. If they really divorced, they should each own half. The problem is that the property certificate is already in Qiao Nan's hands, and this house has nothing to do with her or Qiao Dongliang. If she wants to divorce Qiao Dongliang, she will not even have a place to stand in Pingcheng, where she has lived for more than 40 years.
Not only in Pingcheng, but also in my hometown, there are no cherry blossoms.
In the Ding family, she is a married daughter who is like spilled water. How many houses the Ding family has is none of her business. If the Ding family knew that she left her husband in her old age and had no money or house, the Ding family would not help her just because her last name is Ding, but would just laugh at her.
She absolutely could not go back to the old Ding family, and she could not leave Pingcheng. To sum up, she could not divorce Qiao Dongliang.
What reassured Ding Jiayi was that Qiao Dongliang had not mentioned it again since the last time. As long as the marriage was not divorced and Qiao Dongliang's name was still hers on the spouse list, she would not be desperate and have to return to the old Ding family and face the old Ding family's contempt. The old Ding family was a place she would rather die than go back to.
After thinking about the hatred and annoyance of the old Ding family, Ding Jiayi had to be calm when facing Qiao Dongliang. Qiao Nan's triplets were indeed just born, but Chen Feng was not old enough. To put it bluntly, in a few years, Chen Feng would be old enough to find a partner and get married. Ding Jiayi didn't want to end up in a divorce when she was about to become a great-grandmother.
Fortunately, Qiao Dongliang did not argue with Ding Jiayi about her identity and the ticket after returning from the capital, and he has not mentioned it until now. Ding Jiayi was the one who did something wrong, and Qiao Dongliang did not mention it, which seemed to be a way to let her off, so Ding Jiayi would not be so stupid as to feel uncomfortable and bring up these things.
Knowing that Qiao Dongliang was hungry, Ding Jiayi obediently prepared food for him. It was not that she did not know that Qiao Dongliang had a strong taste and liked spicy food. In the past, Ding Jiayi cooked according to her own and Qiao Zijin's appetite. The mother and daughter did not like spicy food, and Qiao Zijin liked to eat dry rice. She thought that if too much water was added, the rice would be soft and chewy, so Ding Jiayi always added less water.
Qiao Zijin is young and likes her rice to be drier and chewier, but people of Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi's age prefer their rice to be softer and more cooked, with more water added, so that it is easier to digest and does not cause stomach discomfort.
As expected, for today's lunch, some chili was added to the dishes, and the rice was cooked very hard, not much better than porridge.
Upon seeing the food, Qiao Zijin immediately lost her appetite: "Mom, you know I can't eat spicy food. It makes me get acne and it's ugly. You never put chili in the food before, what kind of chili did you put in now?"
She has kept this eating habit for more than 40 years. Did her mother just wash the clothes, so did she lose her mind? She even forgot this habit. No wonder she is always angry with her mother: "And this rice, is it rice or porridge? It's not porridge, it's not rice, mom, who are you going to feed it to?"
Qiao Zijin really didn't want to add that the meal Ding Jiayi cooked today was so delicious that even pigs would refuse it.
The meal Ding Jiayi had worked so hard to prepare was criticized by Qiao Zijin in such an undisguised way, and neither Qiao Dongliang nor Ding Jiayi felt comfortable. Moreover, Qiao Dongliang was the one being bullied today, so he had nothing to complain about this meal.
Qiao Dongliang picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it in the rice bowl: "If you think your mother's cooking is not good, fine, you can order takeout. If the takeout is not good or it is too expensive, you can buy the food yourself and cook it. You can cook what you like. In case others don't cook it well and it doesn't suit your taste. Of course, if you want to spend more, you can also hire a nanny to cook for you. Of course, if you only need to cook, please order it by the hour."
Qiao Dongliang immediately thought of several ways to help Qiao Zijin solve her eating problem.
"..." Qiao Zijin held her breath in her heart: "Dad, how did you become like this now? All you talk about is money. I don't have money, but does that mean I'm not your daughter? You have to treat me like this, Mom, you too!"
"It's not that you have no money that I don't treat you as my daughter. It's because we have no money that you act so arrogantly. You don't take me and your mother seriously. Don't you think about what kind of attitude you have? Your mother is so old and prepares food for you, but you still complain about it. If you are really filial and a person with a conscience, you are 42 years old already, and you will be 43 during the Chinese New Year. You cook for me and your mother. Am I wronging you or abusing you?" After the Chinese New Year, you will be 43 years old, not 13.
Thinking that Qiao Zijin was already 43 years old, and that he and Ding Jiayi had never eaten a meal that Qiao Zijin had specially prepared for them, Qiao Dongliang felt heartbroken. Whose girl was so naive as Qiao Zijin? In comparison, Qiao Zijin's naivety was no worse than that of other people's sons.
"Why are you jealous? You only realize what kind of person your adopted daughter is now? Hold back your tears. This is all your own fault, so you have to bear the consequences alone. Eat quickly." Qiao Dongliang's previous words made Ding Jiayi's eyes red.
She was willing to do everything for her daughter Qiao Zijin, but Qiao Zijin not only did not appreciate her dedication and love for her over the years, but she also kept finding fault with her and regarded her as a mother with nothing to show for it, as if her efforts over the past few decades were a joke. Ding Jiayi really felt aggrieved.
