Chapter 667: Poor and Generous
"How about this, you sisters plus Shi Qing, the three of you girls are about the same age, come chat together, I, I'll go cook for you."
Qiao Nan came back, and Qiao Dongliang breathed a sigh of relief. After saying this, he hurried into the kitchen.
Shi Qing blinked and smiled: "Why do I feel like Uncle Qiao is running away, as if there is a ghost chasing him."
"I..." Qiao Nan paused, "I don't understand either."
Even though Dad and Qiao Zijin don't have the best relationship, Dad is still happy to see Qiao Zijin. This time, Dad's reaction seems a little wrong, just like Shi Qing's, seeing Qiao Zijin is not much better than seeing a ghost.
How could Qiao Nan know that in recent months, she and Shi Qing had been getting along very well, and Shi Qing was also very nice to Qiao Dongliang.
After knowing that there were two girls in the family who could get along as harmoniously as Qiao Nan and Shi Qing, and he could enjoy double filial piety, Qiao Dongliang felt awkward about Qiao Zijin's return.
Because as long as Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi are around, he will never have the chance to feel that kind of atmosphere.
Qiao Dongliang was used to the harmonious family atmosphere. Of course he couldn't stand going back to that family which was always full of tit-for-tat, partiality and bias.
Qiao Zijin is still his daughter, but his obsession with her is not as strong as before. After all, people are selfish and want to live a good life instead of facing endless quarrels and scolding.
Qiao Zijin, who had come out to get close to Qiao Nan, happened to hear Shi Qing's "nonsense" and couldn't help but change her expression: "Nan Nan, you're back, come in quickly, I brought back some fresh moon cakes, try them and see if they're delicious."
As soon as Qiao Nan and Shi Qing entered the house, they saw the mooncakes on the table. They looked at each other, but no one dared to touch the box of mooncakes. Qiao Nan was afraid that eating it would shorten his life, and Shi Qing disdained to eat it.
"Nannan, why don't you eat it? It's delicious, freshly made, so fragrant." Qiao Zijin smiled, then took one and ate it first, taking a big bite: "The crust is soft and the filling is very fragrant, Nannan, this is the red bean paste flavor you like."
"Hmm..." Qiao Nan smiled: "I'm not hungry yet, and it's almost time for dinner, so I won't eat mooncakes for now." Even though Qiao Zijin had eaten mooncakes herself, she really didn't dare to touch anything Qiao Zijin brought her.
"Qiao Zijin, right? Sorry to interrupt me. Qiao Nan and I will go back to the room and put down our schoolbags. Do you mind?" Shi Qing finally met the famous Qiao Zijin. She thought Qiao Zijin was just so-so. Why did Qiao Nan suffer so much at the hands of Qiao Zijin?
"It's okay." Qiao Zijin said generously, not showing any anger at all.
Qiao Zijin was already in such a state, Shi Qing pulled Qiao Nan up and went back to the room: "Qiao Nan, what does your sister mean by coming back at this time?"
"Isn't it? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival." Qiao Nan replied calmly.
"What about your mother?" If it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn't Qiao Zijin's mother have to come back as well?
Qiao Nan put down her schoolbag and changed her clothes. She was not worried at all: "Don't worry, it won't happen. My mother made the same mistake when she left Qiao Zijin last time. Looking at my father's expression just now, it's probably because time has passed. My father is very uncomfortable facing his daughter Qiao Zijin. Even Qiao Zijin can't pass my father's test. It's difficult for my mother to come back."
What worries her most is what Qiao Zijin is trying to do by taking her time and doing things, like boiling a frog in warm water.
Qiao Nan was used to Qiao Zijin's straightforward approach, so when she was suddenly faced with Qiao Zijin's roundabout approach, she panicked.
Shi Qing put her arm around Qiao Nan's shoulder and said, "If an enemy comes, we will stop him with a general; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what tricks she uses, don't be afraid. I'm with you and I will definitely protect you." It's just Qiao Zijin. If she starts fighting, Qiao Zijin won't be able to escape even a single move.
Qiao Nan smiled, but said nothing.
A hard knife is not scary, a soft knife is deadly.
As soon as Qiao Zijin showed up, the usually calm and composed Qiao Nan would always unconsciously act as if he was facing a powerful enemy, and this time was no exception.
Fortunately, Qiao Zijin only stayed for one night and went back before she even celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival: "Dad, I'm going back. Mom is alone there, and I'm worried. It's Mid-Autumn Festival after all. Even if our family can't be together, at least I can't let Mom spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. I'll come to see you next time I have a holiday."
"Okay, okay." Hearing that Qiao Zijin was leaving after just one night, Qiao Dongliang did not try to keep her like he did before. Instead, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Take these and eat them on the way." Qiao Dongliang handed Qiao Zijin a bag of things.
Qiao Zijin did not refuse. She took it, smiled at the three people, and left very consciously without anyone seeing her off.
Watching Qiao Zijin walk away, Qiao Dongliang sighed.
It would be great if Zijin and Nannan could get along like this under normal circumstances. Maybe their family of four could live happily in harmony.
Regrets are regrets, reality is reality. After sighing, Qiao Dongliang did not express any emotion in front of Qiao Nan. Soon, the Qiao family's life returned to what it was before.
"Qiao Nan, if you want to find a way to make money to return it to Brother Zhai, Uncle Qiao will..." Thinking about the bag that Qiao Dongliang gave to Qiao Zijin, Shi Qing was not particularly happy.
Qiao Nan paused as he was writing furiously: "No matter what, one of them is my father's wife and the other is my father's eldest daughter. My father wants to give them money, and I have no way and no reason to stop him. In this kind of thing, whoever cares will suffer the loss."
Shi Qing was upset that Qiao Nan had to pay for Qiao Dongliang's medical expenses alone, but Qiao Zijin could enjoy Qiao Dongliang's obligatory support just like Qiao Nan.
"Poor and generous." Shi Qing muttered, and simply lay down on the bed to sleep: "It's a pity that my father still can't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival this time..." Otherwise, she wouldn't have to see this terrible scene.
Regarding Qiao Dongliang giving money to Qiao Zijin, Shi Qing couldn't tell whether Qiao Dongliang was right or wrong. Anyway, she saw it and felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for Qiao Nan.
After Shi Qing fell asleep, Qiao Nan held her head in her hand and stared blankly. The money her father gave to Qiao Zijin was nothing. What she was most worried about was that Qiao Zijin would use the money her father gave her to deal with her!
If this is true, that would be the most depressing thing. Without her cooperation, it would not be easy for her father to save some money.
