Chapter 316: Year of the Tiger and Wolf
Just like her and Qiao Nan now, although Qiao Nan is doing very well now, her pride won't last long, and she will be the only one who laughs last.
"Okay, go back quickly and wrap yourself tightly, and don't catch a cold." Ding Jiayi felt relieved. As soon as Qiao Zijin interrupted her, she completely put the matter aside. Anyway, no matter how promising Wang Yang was, he was not her son.
After a lot of effort, the mother and daughter finally returned to the Qiao family's yard. The first thing Ding Jiayi did was to boil some hot water for Qiao Zijin to soak her feet and warm her body.
While Ding Jiayi was busy boiling water, Qiao Zijin returned to her room silently, took out a notebook and pen, and silently wrote down a few English words in the notebook.
If Qiao Nan was here, she would have discovered that the word Qiao Zijin remembered was none other than the one Zhu Cheng had just used to describe her at the dinner table.
Qiao Zijin checked several times and made sure that she had not made any spelling mistakes before putting the notebook away. She planned to go to school when school starts next year to ask what kind of book it was that would make Qiao Nan so eager to find it that she had to ask Uncle Zhu and Zhu Baoguo to help her find it.
If this was just an ordinary book, it would be clear that what happened at the dinner table today was done on purpose by Qiao Nan, with the purpose of embarrassing her.
Qiao Zijin only had a few glances at the name of the book, but in such a short time, she managed to memorize the name and recite it perfectly. So, Qiao Zijin is smart, but she has never put her mind into the right place.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and soak your feet to warm them up, and then go to bed. If you really want to read, do it tomorrow." Thinking of Qiao Nan's report card that was so beautiful that it could be framed, and then thinking of Qiao Zijin's report card that pales in comparison, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously Zijin is smarter than Qiaonan in fighting, so why is it that Zijin can never surpass Qiaonan in studying?
When Lao Qiao was pregnant with Zijin, he hoped to have a son who was smart and could read. From Lao Qiao's description at that time, except that Qiao Nan was not a son, everything about Qiao Nan was exactly the same as Lao Qiao's idea of a perfect son.
It would be great if Zijin had Qiao Nan's grades.
In this way, even if she really has some conflicts with Lao Qiao, Lao Qiao will definitely give in to her a little more and treat her better because Zi Jin is on her side.
That damned girl Qiao Nan didn't even think of her as her mother. Maybe if Old Qiao took Qiao Nan away, she would be happy that there was one less person to take care of her.
"Mom, why are you sighing?" Qiao Zijin's face darkened, and her expression was even uglier than when she was at Zhu's house before: "Why do you have this expression and tone when I mention that I read a book?"
"It's nothing, I just think you've been working too hard, don't push yourself too hard. Mom has been watching your efforts over the past six months. Look at you, your face is all red. Zijin, just try your best in everything, and don't be too hard on yourself."
Ding Jiayi was even more depressed because during the past six months, even though she saw Qiao Zijin studying hard and working hard, in the end she still got a score that was almost the same as her usual lazy performance.
Qiao Nan's grades were so good, but she hardly ever saw him reading when she was at home. How come when it was Zi Jin's turn, he would start reading as soon as he got home, and why did he do so poorly on the test?
Qiao Zijin was not diligent, Ding Jiayi could comfort herself that Qiao Zijin was indeed smarter than Qiao Nan, but she just didn't work hard enough. Now, Ding Jiayi could only feel depressed. How could her favorite daughter be dumber than that damn girl Qiao Nan?
When the time came, Zijin was so clever and loved by everyone, while Qiaonan stood aside like a block of wood, not even knowing how to use a sword.
If Qiao Nan wasn't so stupid, she wouldn't have bothered with Lao Qiao two years ago and insisted that Qiao Nan go to school and work part-time so that Zi Jin could go to college. That's because she knew that Qiao Nan was too stupid and would never have a future no matter how much he studied, so why waste time and money, it would be better for him to work in a factory and contribute to the family earlier.
Facts have proved that Ding Jiayi was wrong. When it comes to studying, Qiao Nan is much more capable than Qiao Zijin.
This situation meant that after Ding Jiayi made Qiao Dongliang angry, she no longer had the excuse to ask for forgiveness for the good of the family.
"Really?" Qiao Zijin didn't believe it.
"Of course, my ancestor, your feet have finally been soaked and warmed up, and now you feel comfortable, why don't you go to bed and sleep?"
"By the way, Mom, please get me another hot water bottle. I'm afraid I'll be cold later." Qiao Zijin is afraid of cold, especially her limbs, which is the most torturous in winter.
"It's ready for you. Get under the quilt first and I'll get you the hot water bottle." Ding Jiayi's shoes made tapping sounds. When she came back, she held a red hot water hose in her hand and stuffed it into Qiao Zijin's quilt.
Only at this moment did Qiao Zijin sigh comfortably, shrink her neck, cover herself tightly with the quilt, and soon fell asleep.
Compared to Qiao Zijin who fell asleep so quickly, Ding Jiayi tossed and turned in bed for most of the night and couldn't fall asleep. For no other reason, she "missed" Qiao Dongliang. Women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties, and Ding Jiayi is at the age of being as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.
Ever since Qiao Dongliang had a quarrel with Ding Jiayi, their married life has been almost non-existent.
After Qiao Dongliang moved out with Qiao Nan, he never touched even a hair of Ding Jiayi.
Qiao Dongliang was worried about how to support his two daughters to go to college in the future, and was thinking about ways to make money, so he didn't have the heart to think about this matter. On the other hand, Ding Jiayi had been at home since she lost her job and could only take on some odd manual jobs to earn some money, so Ding Jiayi had more things to worry about.
Ding Jiayi turned the pages until she could faintly hear the roosters crowing. She sighed in grievance and finally fell asleep.
"Mom, mom, it's time to get up. I'm hungry." Ding Jiayi seemed to have just closed her eyes when she was woken up by Qiao Zijin: "And mom, don't forget to go to Zhu's house and push Dad's bike back."
"Yes, I almost forgot about this. How come it's already nine o'clock?" Ding Jiayi quickly got up from the bed, hurriedly prepared breakfast for Qiao Zijin, and rushed to Zhu's house, fearing that if she was a step late, the No. 28 bicycle would have been pushed away by Qiao Dongliang.
As soon as they arrived at Zhu's house, Ding Jiayi panted and asked, "Has my old Qiao been here?"
The Zhu family member smiled and replied, "It's so early in the morning, not yet."
