Chapter 42 Self-Reflection
After so many things happened, Qiao Zijin could no longer have the same unique status in the family as before.
She didn't ask for much, she just hoped that she could continue her studies.
As for Qiao Zijin, as long as Qiao Zijin doesn't bother her in the future, she won't pay any more attention to Qiao Zijin.
Of course, if her mother and Qiao Zijin still wanted to bully her and make her suffer like before, then she would definitely fight back against them like she did today!
After figuring this out, Qiao Nan was able to concentrate on reading.
In the study, the father and daughter were working face to face. As soon as they sat down, Qiao Zijin lowered her head and shed tears pitifully.
Seeing Qiao Zijin crying like this, Qiao Dongliang sighed: "Okay, stop crying. Tell me, what are you crying about?"
Hearing Qiao Dongliang speak first, Qiao Zijin relaxed for a moment, then wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I know I was wrong. I was jealous that Nannan's grades were better than mine. Dad, I really didn't mean what happened today. In fact, the reason why I was so anxious today was because of the passbook. I know Mom is good to me. She spent all the money in the family to let me go to the attached high school. I also want to study hard. But there are no books at home, and my dad found me reading those messy books. Dad, I am anxious and scared. I am afraid that my family has paid so much for me, but I can't give you anything in return. The more nervous I am, the worse I will study. But Nan Nan... no matter how badly Nan Nan does in the exam, her grades are much better than mine, and Nan Nan is the vice-class monitor and gets awards every year, but I have nothing."
Qiao Zijin's tone was extremely helpless, like a beast that had been blessed, and she let out a mournful cry.
Although Qiao Zijin's words were a little incoherent, Qiao Dongliang understood them.
It's just that Qiao Zijin knew that she spent too much money on her high school education, and her performance was poor during the summer vacation.
With a younger sister to compare with, the older daughter is worried that she will make more mistakes and make her parents dislike her.
"Dad, I really didn't mean it, and I didn't want to be like this. Nannan is my biological sister, and I am the elder sister. I should be good to her and take care of her. How can I feel inferior just because my grades are not as good as Nannan's? I thought that if I went to the affiliated high school, the teachers there would be good, and my grades would definitely go up and be as good as Nannan's. Then, Dad, you will have two outstanding daughters, and you can go to meet Grandpa Li. Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do that."
Seeing Qiao Zijin crying so miserably, Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but soften his heart: "Okay, stop crying, your eyes will get swollen if you cry any more."
"Dad, can you forgive me this time? I won't dare to do it again. Actually, I admit that what happened today was that I wanted to let you know that Nannan is also an ordinary person who makes mistakes like me. But I was nervous because Nannan is my sister. I don't want to see Nannan contacting people she shouldn't contact and then really learn bad things. Dad, you have to believe me, at this point, I have good intentions towards Nannan and don't want to hurt Nannan. My only mistake was that I was too anxious, I believed everything I heard, and I didn't give Nannan a chance to explain, and I convicted Nannan. Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely not do this in the future."
Qiao Zijin has a good attitude of admitting her mistakes and she also reflects on her mistakes. What else can Qiao Dongliang do to Qiao Zijin?
Qiao Dongliang sighed: "Zijin, let me ask you, Nannan did something else today, what do you think?"
Qiao Zijin clenched her hands on her knees into fists, and then her face was full of confusion: "Dad, which one are you referring to?"
"Nannan has a fever."
"Dad, Nan Nan's fever has nothing to do with me, and I believe it was definitely not mom's fault!" Qiao Zijin denied it immediately.
Even in front of her mother, she would never admit this.
"So you mean Nan Nan lied?"
"I don't know who is lying. What I know is that I didn't do this. Nan Nan and I are sisters. I may say yes to Nan Nan, but I would never do such a thing."
“…”
Qiao Dongliang sighed. He didn't believe it and didn't want his eldest daughter to do such a thing.
But Qiao Dongliang still vividly remembers her daughter's expression and words at that time. It is difficult for Qiao Dongliang to comfort herself that what her daughter reacted to was just her imagination and did not really happen.
"Zijin, I'll tell you this once. I can let go of the past and not ask about it again. But I don't want the same thing to happen a second time. Do you understand me?"
Qiao Zijin's fingernails had already left dents on the palms of her hands.
After hearing what Qiao Dongliang said, Qiao Zijin knew that her father did not completely believe what she had just said.
"Dad, I know. Just wait and see how I perform in the future." Qiao Zijin forced a smile and replied, "Dad, I'll go back to my room and do my homework."
"Go ahead."
When Qiao Zijin returned to her room, she passed by Qiao Nan's room and glared at the door of Qiao Nan's room for a few times before opening her own door.
Qiao Zijin locked the door, then took out a notebook and wrote one sentence over and over again with a pen: "Qiao Nan, you bastard, go to hell!"
Only after Qiao Zijin had written a whole page of densely packed “Qiao Nan, you bastard, go die” did she feel relieved.
Qiao Zijin tore off the content of the page, then lit it with a match, burning it completely, and then she really took out her homework to continue working on it.
"Old, Old Qiao." In the evening, Ding Jiayi walked into the room sadly, stuttering and calling Qiao Dongliang.
"Is there something?" Qiao Dongliang asked indifferently.
"Old Qiao, Zijin will go to school in the future." Ding Jiayi had a stiff face. After living with Qiao Dongliang for half her life, this was the first time she felt that asking Qiao Dongliang for money was a very difficult thing to ask: "Even if Zijin is really under my care in the future, it will take me some time to find a job. But how about Zijin's food money?"
Qiao Dongliang glanced at Ding Jiayi indifferently, took out six yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ding Jiayi: "Take it."
Seeing the six yuan, Ding Jiayi pursed her lips and said, "Only six yuan?"
Clearly, Lao Qiao gave Qiao Nan five dollars, Qiao Nan got five dollars a week, and Zi Jin only got six dollars in two weeks?
What's more, Qiao Nan is only a junior high school student, while Zijin is a high school student!
"Before, you gave money to Zijin, but Nannan didn't get a penny. What did Nannan have? Because of you, Nannan could only use and wear what Zijin left. What did Nannan have? Six yuan is not much, but it is definitely enough for Zijin to eat. If you want to give Zijin more money, find a job as soon as possible. Once you have a salary, I won't interfere with how you manage Zijin."
Similarly, from now on, no matter what happens to Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi should not get involved, because Qiao Dongliang will be in charge of everything.
