Chapter 89 Discuss a Change
Ding Jiayi was dumbfounded. When did Lao Qiao become so cruel and cold-blooded towards Zijin?
"Zijin still has you. As long as you manage the household well, I believe Zijin will be able to continue her studies. Moreover, even if she can't pay the tuition fee all at once, the school will not let the students drop out immediately. You can think of a solution. But Zijin has always been a girl who cares about her reputation. If you really let her go to school with tuition fees in arrears, she probably won't have the heart to study. I advise you to be more careful with money and don't make Zijin embarrassed in school. The last essay incident has left a bad impression on Zijin in front of the teacher. Let's stop here, and you can consider the rest yourself."
In the past, he really indulged Lao Ding too much, allowing Lao Ding to pamper Zijin to this extent.
Even if Zijin is going to find a husband in the future and Nannan is going to get married, they are both his daughters. Why does Zijin have several new clothes every year, but Nannan has none?
Uncle Li was right, he really lost his mind before.
If Lao Ding continues to be the only one in charge of this family, it will sooner or later be in chaos.
Without even looking at Ding Jiayi's red and wet eyes, Qiao Dongliang made up his mind to cure Ding Jiayi's bad temper. Even if five fingers have different lengths, parents will inevitably favor one child, but Old Ding cannot treat Nan Nan like this.
Leaving Ding Jiayi behind, Qiao Dongliang washed his face and feet, then went to bed without paying any attention to Ding Jiayi.
Ding Jiayi was really angry and heartbroken this time. She sat alone in the hall, hunched over, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand from time to time, crying silently.
For a moment, the only sounds in the hall could be heard from Ding Jiayi's intermittent sobbing and breathing.
Ding Jiayi sat alone until she felt cold and numb, then she slowly got up, without washing her face, and went back to her room.
Seeing the raised area on the bed's quilt, Ding Jiayi sucked the quilt, took off her clothes, and lay down quietly.
Although the body temperature of the person lying next to her was very high and should have been very warm, Ding Jiayi felt chilled to the bone.
She has been married to this man for more than ten years, taking care of the household chores for him, busying herself with work and daily life. Isn't everything she does for this home, for this man?
"Oh..." Ding Jiayi choked a few times, then let out a long sigh and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
A semester passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Nan finished the exam earlier than Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin went home not too late and had a good sleep.
"Mom, I've finished my exams. I'm in a good mood today. Why don't we go shopping for clothes?" Second, Qiao Zijin thought about buying clothes as soon as she got up: "Mom, the new clothes this year are so beautiful. Mom, the classmates in our class are dressed so well and have so many clothes. Mom..."
Qiao Zijin stretched out her tone and spoke proudly.
In fact, Qiao Zijin had already chosen clothes for herself. She had picked out four sets of clothes in total and she liked them all very much.
Qiao Zijin wasn't sure if she could ask her mother to buy all four sets of clothes for her, but if she tried hard, she could still get three sets.
"How many pieces did you like?" How could Ding Jiayi not understand Qiao Zijin? As soon as she saw Qiao Zijin's expression, she understood.
"Not many, just, just four sets."
Ding Jiayi asked how many pieces, but Qiao Zijin directly pointed out four sets.
Ding Jiayi gasped when she heard this. Even though her family had savings in the past, she never had the habit of buying four new sets of clothes for Zijin at once: "Zijin, I have something to tell you. Think carefully about how many new clothes you are going to buy this year."
Because of Qiao Dongliang's words, Ding Jiayi was forced to carefully calculate how much money she had.
Ding Jiayi is really good to Qiao Zijin. As long as Qiao Zijin asks, as long as Ding Jiayi is willing, she will not refuse Qiao Zijin.
So after four months, Ding Jiayi didn't save that much money. If she wanted to pay Qiao Zijin's tuition for the next semester, Ding Jiayi would have to work harder. She didn't dare to rest early just because the New Year was approaching.
As a result, Ding Jiayi certainly couldn't handle carrying Qiao Zijin's new clothes.
Ding Jiayi's words made Qiao Zijin stunned: "If you have no money, ask dad for it." Her father is the one who makes the most money in the family, not her mother: "Use your money to buy me clothes, and ask my dad for tuition."
In this way, wouldn't we be able to have the best of both worlds?
"Your dad is the one who takes care of your affairs. He doesn't care. If I can't get your tuition money, he won't help me and let me figure it out on my own."
"Is dad really like that? Impossible! Didn't you tell me last time that my dad wanted me to find a son-in-law?" So how could her dad be so cruel to her and really not care about her.
If she had known this would happen, she would rather switch with Qiao Nan, with her father taking care of her and Qiao Nan being taken care of by her mother.
Yes, why didn't she think of it earlier.
If she were under the care of her father, she wouldn't have to worry about having no money to spend. As for Qiao Nan, if she were under the care of her mother, wouldn't her mother's money still be spent on her in the end?
"Your father told me this himself. I don't know what Qiao Nan has fooled your father into thinking Qiao Nan is his only daughter. If I can't pay your tuition, he wants me to owe it first and then pay it back slowly."
"I don't want it!" Qiao Zijin refused before Ding Jiayi finished her words: "If that's the case, I'll be so embarrassed. Our Chinese teacher doesn't like me very much. If that's the case, I'll just not read this book!"
"How can you not study? If you don't study, how can you find a good job in the future? To put it bluntly, if you don't study, wouldn't it be just what Qiao Nan wants? The money in the family can be used to support Qiao Nan's studies. During the Chinese New Year, there are many people looking for jobs outside. No matter how hard I work, your tuition will not be difficult, but your New Year clothes..." I guess that's it.
Qiao Zijin's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled: "Can't this matter be discussed again? I don't want four sets, how about two sets?" One set less than expected made Qiao Zijin very unhappy.
"Two sets?" Ding Jiayi smiled bitterly: "You may not even have one set, unless you really want to go to the next school and owe some tuition fees first."
"I don't want it. If you can't pay the tuition in full, I'd rather not study!" Qiao Zijin's face was stern, and he said firmly: "What about Qiao Nan's tuition?!"
"Your father has already prepared Qiao Nan's tuition, so there is no problem."
"Mom, how about this? You can buy me the same set of clothes, but not two. You have to buy me a new set of clothes for the New Year, right? As for the tuition, how much do you still need? Can you borrow from my dad? If you can't borrow from my dad, just borrow from Qiao Nan first and let Qiao Nan pay it later."
