Chapter 59 Harsh Criticism
"Qiao, your salary is not low, and you still let Nannan work. Nannan's grades are not bad, but you let her work without completing her nine years of compulsory education. Is your family really fine? Is it because your wife came to me last time and wanted to send our eldest daughter to the affiliated middle school, and she spent all the money in the family? Qiao, Uncle Li taught you a long time ago that you should be pragmatic. The top scholar, if you are not good at studying, you can change to something else. You have wasted the family's money and sacrificed the future of another daughter to fulfill the eldest daughter. Is this a good idea? It is useless to be ambitious. Only by being down-to-earth can you take steady steps. Do everything within your ability. Young people nowadays are not down-to-earth and are very impetuous. Qiao, how come you have this bad habit? Don't forget that you are a soldier!"
After being scolded earnestly by Mr. Li, Qiao Dongliang was stunned.
He could hear and understand every word that Mr. Li said, but why was his brain not able to function properly when they were put together into sentences?
"Uncle Li, was it you who helped Zijin go to the affiliated high school?" After a long while, Qiao Dongliang asked in disbelief.
"Ding found me and asked me to help make a phone call. She took care of everything afterwards. Qiao, you should know my temper. I would never do such a thing. Even if it was my son or my daughter, you grew up with them. Have you ever seen me help them do such a thing? Qiao, do you know how disappointed Uncle Li was with you at that time?"
Uncle Li sighed.
When Ding Jiayi first asked Mr. Li to solve Qiao Zijin's problem, Mr. Li was really unhappy about it. Mr. Li never liked to do this kind of thing.
He let his own son and daughter move up step by step on their own, but he wanted to help his niece use the back door. At that time, Mr. Li really wanted to reject Ding Jiayi.
"Mr. Li, I didn't know." Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face hard. It turned out that Lao Ding did this behind his back. So this was how Zijin was able to get into the affiliated high school.
"I know you definitely don't know about this. You should know that you wouldn't let Ding come." Uncle Li nodded. How could he not understand the personality of the child who grew up under his care?
After hearing what Uncle Li said, Qiao Dongliang's embarrassed mood improved a little.
"But Qiao, Ding is your wife. You don't know what she is doing or what she is thinking. Until your eldest daughter was really going to the attached middle school, you didn't even react. This is what disappointed Uncle Li the most. Qiao, you are a soldier. Now that you are no longer in the army, have you retired in your heart?"
Confusing, so confusing!
"Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was thinking that you had already retired. Otherwise, if you stayed in the army like this, it would not matter if you hurt yourself, but what if you hurt your comrades? Joe, the only one who can disappoint me is you."
Of course, the reason why Uncle Li agreed at that time was because he guessed that it was Ding Jiayi who came on her own initiative.
The matchmaker between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang was Mr. Li. Even without Mr. Li, Qiao Dongliang would still marry Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi has some problems, what can Uncle Li do? No matter how unhappy he is, he has to make the call.
But at that time Uncle Li told Ding Jiayi directly that this was the first and last time.
When Qiao Dongliang heard about Mr. Li's disappointment in him, he was angry and scared. He thought that his wife was holding him back and that it was his daughter who was a big mouth and told Mr. Li about the situation at home, which made him so embarrassed.
But after listening to what Mr. Li said, Qiao Dongliang realized that the real problem was actually with him. Mr. Li was disappointed with his own performance and it had nothing to do with his family.
"Qiao, tell me honestly, when you heard what I said just now, did you think that Nan Nan told Bao Guo, and Bao Guo told me?"
Facing Mr. Li's questioning, Qiao Dongliang's face turned red and he couldn't utter a word.
"Look at you. You don't have any military spirit. You convicted Nan Nan without checking or asking anything. Did your superiors teach you this when you were in the army? You are biased. In my opinion, you are not right either. Baoguo did tell me some things, but there are other things that have already spread around the compound. Qiao, shouldn't you reflect on this?"
No one knew when, but everyone in the compound knew that Ding Jiayi had sold Qiao Nan's books, which almost prevented Qiao Nan from continuing her studies.
As for the fact that Ding Jiayi wanted her daughter to miss school and work, the news spread without a single detail.
Qiao Nan brought back a bunch of old books from the recycling station, and many people in the compound saw it.
Having seen and heard it with their own eyes, the people in the compound naturally believed these words without a doubt.
In other words, everything that happened to the Qiao family in the past two or three months was seen by the people in the compound as a negative example.
"It, it spread?" Qiao Dongliang was completely dumbfounded. No wonder other people in the compound looked at him strangely every time he went to work or came home from get off work.
"Qiao, I'm really disappointed in you." Uncle Li was so angry that he said, "Where is your heart? Why have you become like a piece of wood?"
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back. Baoguo told me that Nan Nan is a quiet person in school. Her personality is just like yours, very quiet. Just send Nan Nan over this weekend. As for meals and so on, you don't have to worry about it."
After that, Mr. Li waved his hand and asked Qiao Dongliang to leave.
Now he is very upset and doesn't want to see Qiao Dongliang.
In fact, when Mr. Li went to Qiao's house to thank Qiao Nan, he already felt that the atmosphere in Qiao's house was strange.
Later, Zhu Baoguo told Mr. Li about the unfavorable rumors about Qiao Nan in school, so Mr. Li sent someone to investigate.
You don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked to find that so many things have happened in the Qiao family, and every one of them is a scandal.
Before the start of the new school term, Qiao Nan was beaten by Ding Jiayi and ran out of the house with a bloody nose. After being sent to the hospital by Qiao Dongliang, the doctor diagnosed him with malnutrition. Mr. Li had no idea what he wanted.
The country is doing well now, society is developing, and it is no longer an era of famine. Qiao Dongliang raised a malnourished daughter. This is really...
Mr. Li clearly remembers the time when he met the Qiao Nan sisters. Qiao Zijin looked polite, dressed brightly, and had a sweet mouth. She was a very capable person.
It was obvious that this child was well protected by his parents. On the other hand, Qiao Nan had been standing behind him without saying a word. If he didn't mention it, Qiao Nan would be as invisible as a shadow. Mr. Li couldn't help but feel distressed.
Of the two girls, one had a full face and looked energetic, while the other had a pale and yellowish face and was silent.
