Chapter 2061: Relax

Qiao Dongliang drank a sip of water. It was unknown if he was moistening his throat or preparing to speak. “Swallow? Nan Nan started working to earn money and support the family before she was in her third year of junior high school. I’ll not mention that Nan Nan’s salary went to provide Zijin for her university education. After Zijin graduated, you obtained twenty thousand yuan from Nan Nan monthly. Did Nan Nan give this twenty thousand yuan to you alone? No, right? Nan Nan gave me half of it. For at least ten years, that amounts to millions of yuan. You used it all to provide this and that for Zijin. Did I say anything about that? Does that mean you have swallowed all that money?”

After living in the same place and with people like Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang was naturally affected over time. Since Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin valued money so much that they wanted to take advantage of even family, upon hearing at the hospital that his elder daughter had 1.6 million yuan in her pocket but was only willing to fork out the money if his younger daughter had done so, Qiao Dongliang suddenly felt that it was right for him not to mention the two thousand yuan he received monthly.

When Qiao Dongliang first received this amount of money, he didn’t give it to Ding Jiayi or even mentioned it to her as he felt that everything Qiao Nan did in the first half of her life was given to Qiao Zijin, her sister. It was too tough on her and she shouldn’t have been leading such a tough life.

Based on the principle of acc.u.mulation, he helped Qiao Nan save this two thousand yuan monthly. Perhaps one day when Qiao Nan needed money, he could return all the money to Qiao Nan so that she could have a house of her own.

Qiao Dongliang knew it clearly that if Ding Jiayi knew about the existence of this sum of money, he would definitely not be able to help Qiao Nan save it. As such, he hid it from her. Thankfully, at that time, Qiao Nan didn’t want to communicate with the Qiao family at all. She only knew that it was enough for her to transfer the money. As for the rest, that was the Qiao family’s matter and had nothing to do with her.

After expecting Qiao Nan not to communicate with Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, it naturally became an easy task for Qiao Dongliang to save the two thousand yuan monthly. When he later knew that Ding Jiayi was going to use this matter to file a lawsuit with Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang was not worried at all as he knew that Qiao Nan had supported him and Ding Jiayi.

Compared to twenty or thirty thousand a month in the past, two thousand yuan a month really wasn’t a lot. However, Qiao Dongliang was no longer willing for Ding Jiayi to take this money anymore. Even if Ding Jiayi had found out about the current situation, he wasn’t prepared to fork out the money.

“When Nan Nan was earning the most money in her twenties, she had given you so much money but you didn’t even give a single cent to me. I think that from now on, I’ll take all the money that Nan Nan provided for the both of us. You should have no objection to that, right? If you do, you can first give me half of the money you have taken alone for the past twenty years. After that, we can split this two thousand yuan equally every month.”

“…” Ding Jiayi’s throat hurt when she heard Qiao Dongliang settling old scores. She didn’t know what else to say. “You did this deliberately. Old Qiao, what exactly do you mean by this?”

To let her take out all the money she had received over the past twenty years? Even if she sold herself, she wouldn’t be able to get so much money. “It’s not as if you don’t know how I spent the money. Yes, Qiao Nan provided this family quite a lot of money back then. Part of the money was used to buy back the courtyard. I didn’t spend the rest of the money on myself.” Didn’t she use all of it to buy a house for Zijin?

She had worried and sacrificed so much for this family. Really, she didn’t leave anything behind for herself. Even if Qiao Nan provided more money, she rarely used it on herself. She used it all on this family.

Speaking of this, Ding Jiayi felt that she had a completely clear conscience and could straighten her back to answer Qiao Dongliang.

The problem was that Qiao Dongliang didn’t buy into Ding Jiayi’s words. “I don’t care where you spent the money Nan Nan gave you. You didn’t spend it on yourself. Then, did you spend it on me? Regardless, you had indeed spent half the money Nan Nan gave us. If this isn’t wrong, then we have nothing else to talk about. You spent so much money and effort to raise Zijin. Nan Nan had to drop out of junior high school to work and support herself. Even so, she is willing to provide us two thousand yuan monthly as living expenses. You spent so much effort on Zijin. I believe that the money Zijin is willing to give monthly would be more than two thousand yuan.”

When it came to this, Qiao Dongliang was no longer just targeting Ding Jiayi. He was targeting Qiao Zijin, their daughter, as well. “Don’t worry. Since I’ve already taken the two thousand yuan that Nan Nan is providing monthly, even if Zijin provides an amount higher than that, I won’t be greedy. It’s all yours. She’s the good daughter you have raised. All her filial piety should be left to you. You can just wait and enjoy the blessings.”

Everyone present could tell that Qiao Dongliang was saying things contrary to his thoughts.

Counting on Qiao Zijin to be filial? Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi might not be able to enjoy such treatment until the day they died. Waiting for her to pay for monthly living expenses? If Qiao Zijin could live her own life in the future and not make her parents worry so much about her, that would already be the biggest filial piety Qiao Zijin could do.

As for the rest, it was best not to think about it. Even if one thought about it, he or she would just be overthinking.

Upon hearing Qiao Dongliang’s words, Ding Jiayi was shocked. Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale. She couldn’t wait to jump up from the sofa and leave this place immediately.

If she had known that her parents were going to talk about this, how would she be willing to stay and listen? Her father’s words were directed at her, hitting her in the face!

She knew that Qiao Dongliang was saying things contrary to his thoughts and was belittling her for not being able to support her parents. Even though Qiao Zijin was angry, she didn’t dare to say, “What’s there to be scared of? I’ll support the both of you.”

Qiao Zijin only wanted to rely on Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi to get more benefits from Qiao Nan so that she could lead a more comfortable life. She had already thought about it. Qiao Zijin married well but she still had to care for her family. Indeed, Qiao Nan didn’t need to care about her anymore. However, as long as Qiao Nan didn’t abandon their parents, there was actually no difference in Qiao Nan letting their parents or her lead a good life.

Qiao Nan might let their parents eat fish and meat, but could their parents bear to let their elder daughter eat vegetables and tofu alone in this house?

With such a plan in mind, how would Qiao Zijin have considered that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already old, and as their daughter, she should provide a decent amount of living expenses to her parents monthly without fail so that they could lead a more comfortable life?
