Chapter 347: Too Much Face
Knowing that Chai Tian had provided enough, in order to avoid adding unnecessary details, Qiao Nan stopped talking and went back to his room, where he took out his book and began to review silently.
It was a long time, so long that Qiao Nan thought that her father would still not understand after such a big shock this time. Qiao Dongliang walked into Qiao Nan's study with a serious face: "Nan Nan, all the things you just said about your sister, you should not have discovered them recently, right? Why didn't you tell them all before, but now you tell them all?"
"Because I don't want to be bullied anymore. I was just suspicious before, but now I'm basically sure. Take what happened a year ago, for example. Dad, I stopped studying and went to work. Who benefited the most in our family?"
"That's your mother..."
"Dad, you really think that everything is my mom's idea. I once told you that if I want to go to college, I can earn the tuition by my own efforts. Even if I enter college, I can earn living expenses by working part-time. In this way, my college education is not as heavy a burden on the family as you think. At most, I have to work harder. Then why does mom have to be so decisive and insist that I drop out of school without even a little room for negotiation? Dad, let me ask you, if you knew that I could earn most of the tuition and living expenses by myself, would you let me drop out of school?"
"No." Since there is a chance for his two daughters to go to college together, it would be such an honor for the Qiao family to have two college students at once. Why should he stop it? Wouldn't it be good to have the best of both worlds?
"Yes, you wouldn't. Actually, my mother wouldn't either." Qiao Nan nodded.
"Your mother...Nannan, you are so confident in your mother, I thought..." Nannan and Ding Jiayi are already incompatible, and it is absolutely impossible for Nannan to speak for Ding Jiayi.
"It is true that my relationship with my mother is not good, but I will not say bad things about her because of this. Dad, actually my mother is a person who cares about face very much. She hopes my sister can study hard and go to college in the future, a good college, more than you do. Otherwise, how can my mother spend 5,000 yuan to let my sister go to the affiliated high school? It is such a proud thing to have two college students in the family. If you tell others about this, My mother can stand up straight and smile for a long time at her parents' home. Dad, you know best how much my mother cares about her parents' home. My mother always thinks that my sister is smart and will definitely have a bright future. She thinks so just to take advantage of my sister's reputation so that she can go back to her parents' home in the future to prove to everyone that her original choice was correct, and that her parents' home had let her down, and she just chose a good path to follow. "
The affairs of her grandmother's family were an unsolvable knot in her mother's heart.
Her mother wanted to use all means to prove to her family how happy she was now and how correct her decision was.
It's not that she doesn't care about her parents' life or death, it's that her parents treated her badly first and wanted to sell her out.
Similarly, in the previous life, when Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun, her mother Gao Xin bought a lot of wedding candies, brought them back to her hometown village, and distributed them door to door, telling everyone how well her daughter had married and that she was now the in-law of the police chief of Pingcheng.
Her mother would do anything to save face in front of her parents' family.
"You mean, your mother was so determined to let you drop out of school without any room for negotiation because it was your sister who gave her the idea? That's not possible. You can work part-time to pay for your studies. In other words, your going to college will not affect her at all, and it will not make her lose the opportunity to study."
There is not much conflict between Zijin and Nannan in their studies, so there is no need for Zijin to do this.
Qiao Nan smiled bitterly, "Dad, don't forget that I am mom's daughter. Mom is such a face-conscious person, how can I not want it? Since then, you have been praising me for being smart and better than me, especially my mom. When she praises my sister, she steps on me hard and almost praises my sister to the top. My mom praised me so much, so many people in the compound praised my sister when they saw her. But since I went to school and got my test scores, have you heard anyone in the compound praise my sister for being smarter and better than me? In the compound, as long as grades are mentioned, I am the role model for those uncles and aunts to teach their children. I am often mentioned by people, but what does my sister have?"
There was even a year when Qiao Zijin's math grades dropped so drastically that she had to help Qiao Zijin bring her grades up in the end.
"Dad, if I continue to study, even if my sister has the opportunity to be admitted to a university and become a college student, she will not be able to enjoy the glory for more than one year. She and I are sisters, and everyone will not only compare me with their children, but also compare me with my sister. No matter where I go, as long as people know that my sister and I are sisters, they will say: 'Qiao Zijin, it turns out that your sister's grades are so good, much better than yours. As a sister, are you embarrassed?' How do you feel when your sister hears these words?"
Qiao Zijin framed her and prevented her from studying, but the reason behind this was not just for money.
"Nannan, are you thinking too much? How could your sister be so..." vicious.
Just because Zi Jin couldn't stand Nan Nan being better than her, even though both of them had the opportunity to study, Zi Jin played tricks on Nan Nan and made Ding Jiayi deprive Nan Nan of the chance to study.
This, this is impossible!
Just for the sake of his own face, he is going to ruin his sister's future.
Qiao Dongliang gasped, totally unable to accept this fact.
"Dad, I had a fever when I was in the second year of junior high school, and someone opened my window on a rainy night. I later vaguely remembered that the person who entered my room and opened the window was my sister, not my mother. I asked my sister, but she didn't admit it."
Her hairpin learning was actually directed by Qiao Zijin.
Thinking of all these past events, Qiao Nan felt exhausted.
When she was still as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, Qiao Zijin had already cultivated a "seven-detailed heart" with many tricks.
Qiao Zijin's thinking is something that not only an ordinary child, but even an adult might not be able to think so thoroughly.
Qiao Zijin is her mother's brain, and her mother is Qiao Zijin's gun.
The relationship between her mother and Qiao Zijin is so direct and clear.
But every time, her mother rushed in front of Qiao Zijin, which was so eye-catching that everyone could only see her mother's nonsense, while Qiao Zijin completely hid behind her mother and was ignored by everyone.
Thinking about the fact that Ding Jiayi had actually taken a lot of blame for Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan didn't know what to do.
