Chapter 39: Can't afford it
After saying this, Qiao Dongliang went straight back to his room without caring about Ding Jiayi's reaction.
Ding Jiayi's eyes turned red and tears fell. She then shouted at Qiao Nan, "You've caused me to be like this. Are you satisfied now? You're a spendthrift. You've caused chaos in our home. Do I owe you this in my last life?"
Thinking that it was all because of Qiao Nan's words that Qiao Dongliang insisted on looking at the passbook and discovered this, Ding Jiayi vented all her resentment on Qiao Nan.
"Nannan, you've gone too far this time. She's our biological mother, how could you harm her like this?" Qiao Zijin was still jealous of Qiao Nan's chance to get close to Zhu Baoguo, and spared no effort to discredit Qiao Nan.
"I don't know if she is my biological mother, but she is definitely your biological mother. You didn't do well in school, and she spent all the family savings to send you to school. My grades were good, but she insisted that I drop out of school and work. Who owed whom in the last life, and who is paying off the debt?"
Qiao Nan couldn't bear it any longer and questioned Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.
Even if she really owed Ding Jiayi, she had paid enough in her last life. In the end, she was angered to death by her own mother. She even gave her life to Ding Jiayi.
"Mom, you are being mean to me. I am asking, obviously my sister is older than me, I do everything from washing clothes to cleaning at home, what has my sister ever done? It seems that I am just a maid, and my sister is a rich lady, so am I picked up by you? I am not, it doesn't mean I know nothing, mom, you are biased towards my sister, she spent all her money, but you coaxed me to work to make up for this gap for you. Mom, do you feel guilty for doing this?"
"You..." Ding Jiayi felt guilty: "You, what are you talking about. I, I let you go to work, it's really for your own good. Even if you study well, you may not be able to make money in the future."
"Being good at studying doesn't necessarily mean you will have a bright future. It's better to go out and work early. Mom, aren't you afraid that my sister, whose grades are always average, won't even make money in the future? Why are you spending so much money just to let her study this useless book? Mom, I'm fifteen, not five. Can I believe what you said?"
Qiao Nan was so angry that she laughed at Ding Jiayi's words. She was treating her like a three-year-old child, but she actually said such a thing.
"Believe it? I don't care whether you believe it or not!" After being repeatedly questioned by Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi got angry and said directly: "I tell you, you still owe our family. If it weren't for you, your father would still be in the army, at least a battalion commander. I don't even need it. Before you were born, I also had a stable job. Isn't it all your fault? Without you, would our Qiao family be like this now? It's all because of you, this evildoer. It's you who made me unable to hold my head up in front of Bie Rao. You, you are a big harm to others, but you are useless and only waste the money of the Huo family. If I don't favor your sister, who should I favor? Do I favor you, this evildoer?"
"Ha, ha, ha." Qiao Nan laughed provocatively, "Don't be so nice. I begged you to have a second child? You voluntarily gave up everything for my daughter? You did it for a son, so you can only blame yourself for not being able to conceive. You gave up everything you were proud of, and in the end, you gave birth to a loser like me. Right?"
Ding Jiayi not only called Qiao Nan a dead girl, but also lost a lot of money.
"Mom, don't think I know nothing. It was you who pestered Dad to have a second child and persuaded him to retire from the army. You were willing to give up everything for your son. You gave up everything for your son and gave birth to me. Do you blame me? I can't choose my gender, just like I can't choose the mother who gave birth to me!"
If possible, she didn't want to be Ding Jiayi's daughter anymore, especially a daughter.
"You. How could you do this?" Ding Jiayi raised her hand and slapped Qiao Nan hard and fast, causing blood to flow from the corner of Qiao Nan's mouth.
Even if Ding Jiayi regretted it a hundred times or a thousand times in her heart, thinking how great it would have been if she had not given birth to Qiao Nan.
But when Ding Jiayi heard with her own ears that this unpleasant daughter also didn't want to be born to her, she was extremely angry and felt wronged.
"Old Ding, you're crazy!" Qiao Dongliang, who had been sulking in his room, heard Ding Jiayi and Qiao Nan arguing more and more fiercely. As soon as he came out of the room, he saw Ding Jiayi slap Qiao Nan in the face.
Qiao Dongliang pulled Qiao Nan behind him and said, "Qiao Nan is not your daughter, how could you beat your own daughter like this?"
"Didn't you hear what she said just now? I don't treat her as a daughter-in-law, but does she treat me as her mother? She doesn't want me to be her mother!" Ding Jiayi yelled back with her neck stiff.
"Nannan would do this, you need to reflect on yourself first. Nannan was right when she said that. I retired from the army, and you resigned. Do you blame Nannan? Blame you, blame me! But Nannan, you were wrong when you said that. After all, she is your mother. How can you hurt your mother's heart by saying such words? Your mother has a bad temper and her mouth is like a knife, but she loves you in her heart."
After Qiao Dongliang scolded Ding Jiayi, he criticized Qiao Nan a few more times. They were obviously mother and daughter, so why were they quarreling like enemies?
"You feel sorry for me, Dad. Is there any mother who feels sorry for me as much as I do?" Qiao Nan smiled. Although her father was angry just now, he still had thoughts and ideas about family and everything else in his heart.
Throughout her life, she knew how to fight for what she wanted and was unwilling to give in, so her father always wanted to be the good guy and mediate between them.
But there was an unsolvable knot between her and her mother, and they would never be able to get along well with each other in this life.
"Dad, I had a fever before school started. Do you know what I heard when I was lying in my room? I heard my mom telling my sister that I was a worthless girl and that a fever wouldn't kill me. They just needed to delay so that I couldn't register for school and then coax me to go to work. Dad, you should know now why mom insisted on making me work. Would mom let me save a penny of the money I earned from working? All the money in the family was spent on my sister and it wasn't enough. Did mom want me to work to support my sister's education? I'm her daughter, so why? Is this a way for her to show her love for me?"
Qiao Nan cried as she cried, crying more miserably than Ding Jiayi: "How badly did I have a fever? I couldn't even get up from the bed. But my mom bought a watermelon, and my sister took half of it and scooped it out with a spoon, and I ate a whole bunch. Did my mom give me face? Okay, my mom is loving me! I was so sick that I was lying in bed, and my mom threw away the medicine and refused to let me take it. I was so thirsty that I couldn't even speak. There was no one at home who even gave me a sip of water. How could my mom love me so much? Who dares to ask for it when she loves me so much? Who has the life to ask for it?!"
