Chapter 2363: Sticking to One’s Opinions (1)
Upon hearing that Ding Jiayi was admitted to the hospital for this reason and that she was tormented so pitifully, Qiao Nan didn’t know what kind of reaction she should have. In her dream, it could be said that Qiao Zijin was liberated after she placed herself under her car tires and died.
However, it was only today that Qiao Nan realized that once the Qiao Zijin in her dream was dead, not only was Qiao Zijin herself liberated, but Ding Jiayi was as well.
She looked at the situation again now. Qiao Zijin had pulled through and didn’t die. However, she became Ding Jiayi’s catastrophe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQiao Zijin grew up with Ding Jiayi spoiling her. The reason why Qiao Zijin would become who she was today could be attributed to Ding Jiayi.
There was always cause and effect. It could be said that Qiao Zijin, this good daughter, had let Ding Jiayi experience how this was like.
Don’t think that her spoiled daughter could harm other people’s families. There was retribution. Qiao Zijin had once again returned to Ding Jiayi’s side. She let Ding Jiayi experience in detail how good the daughter that she had raised was.
Ding Jiayi was in such a pitiful state. However, Qiao Nan didn’t pity her at all. There was always something to conquer another. Ding Jiayi had raised Qiao Zijin up alone. If Ding Jiayi refused to admit defeat, then she would be jinxed to death by Qiao Zijin. Ding Jiayi had spent more than forty years raising her daughter. She naturally shouldn’t just let others experience Qiao Zijin. Based on Ding Jiayi’s current health conditions, she could still ‘enjoy’ a few years of Qiao Zijin.
“Alright, I understand. It’s not that this matter was troublesome. It’s mainly because the people involved in this matter aren’t easy to deal with. Brother Zhai, there shouldn’t be any problems with the person you found, right?” Qiao Nan felt pretty embarrassed to hand over her messy family affairs to others to deal with.
The problem was that she didn’t want to go back to Ping Cheng to handle it herself. Aside from the person Zhai Sheng helped to find, Qiao Nan couldn’t find anyone else who could help her handle this matter. The neighbors in the quad could send Ding Jiayi to the hospital in the middle of the night. They had to run about and could already be considered as China’s best neighbors.
Qiao Nan wasn’t by Ding Jiayi’s side. However, there was still Qiao Zijin next to her. Her biological elder daughter was by her side, but Ding Jiayi had to rely on her neighbors to send her to the hospital when she was sick. It was as if there was no difference whether Qiao Zijin was around or not. What else could Qiao Nan say? At least, by comparison, her neighbors were more reliable than Qiao Zijin, her daughter.
Zhai Sheng said, “You’ve said it yourself. It isn’t a complicated matter to begin with. If he was someone ordinary, it should be quite troublesome for him. Thankfully, he’s well-built. If Qiao Zijin and your mom see him, they would restrain their temper.”
Zhai Sheng didn’t blindly find someone for help, let alone just accept anyone who was willing to help. The person he found had a lot of pros. Firstly, he was a retired soldier. He had nothing else but strength and skills. He never blinked even if he had to deal with a few strong men, let alone Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. Secondly, he was a police officer. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were not afraid of anyone but people in uniforms. Both of them wouldn’t dare to be too rampant.
It was precisely because the other party was a police officer that it was more convenient for him to help Qiao Nan and intervene in the Qiao family’s matters. It was enough for him to just produce his police officer’s card. No other questions needed to be asked.
“That’s good.” In front of the Qiao family, it was easy for Qiao Nan’s mind to go blank. Thankfully, she had a reliable husband. Otherwise, with the Qiao family creating trouble for her all the time, not to mention if the Wang family might have made a move on the Qiao family to threaten her, it was already exhausting enough for her to deal with the troubles the Qiao family had created themselves.
“Go and rest for a while?” Ding Jiayi was ill and Qiao Nan didn’t want to go back. Although Qiao Nan wasn’t physically there, her heart had already flown back to Ping Cheng. Zhai Sheng knew Qiao Nan’s predicament and wanted her to rest more. “Didn’t you say that you usually feel good? It’s going to be the examinations a few days later. Based on what you’re saying, you don’t have to cram at the eleventh hour at all. Stop reading your books. If you’re sleepy, go to sleep. If you’re not, you can take over Dad’s and Mom’s duties. The triplets are quite energetic, after all. I think the three of them would be very happy that you’re playing with them.”

“Let me sleep.” After knowing that Ding Jiayi was in the hospital, Qiao Nan’s nerves had always been tight. Thankfully, Ding Jiayi only suffered from food poisoning and mild gastric problems. If Ding Jiayi’s condition was serious, even if Qiao Nan wanted to escape, she had to rush back to Ping Cheng to visit her biological mother, Ding Jiayi. Thankfully, Qiao Nan didn’t need to do so.
After Qiao Nan went upstairs to rest and upon seeing that his parents were playing with the three children, Zhai Sheng made a call. He was calling another important person from the Qiao family: Qiao Dongliang. “Hello? Dad, it’s me.”
“Zhai Sheng, what happened?” He thought that his daughter had called him. He didn’t expect it to be his son-in-law. action
Qiao Dongliang could finally understand the ancient saying: the mountain was high and the emperor was far away. When he used to live in the Qiao family’s small courtyard, as Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were often by his side, he felt that every day of his life was depressing. It was good now. He was far away from that mother-daughter pair and had cut off contact with them. As he breathed in the fresh air of the mountains, he felt that he was a lot younger.
He might even be able to live for a few more years and watch the triplets enter a good university after growing up. This would make up for their mother’s regret that she dropped out of school early.
Zhai Sheng could naturally hear Qiao Dongliang’s relaxed tone.
Zhai Sheng was dissatisfied with this. Qiao Dongliang was the head of the Qiao family. In the earlier years, as a husband, he couldn’t control the presumptuous and partial Ding Jiayi. As a father, he didn’t stand firm enough to protect Qiao Nan, his daughter, causing her to sacrifice her own happiness at a young age to support the family.
The feeling of letting others carry the burden of the entire family was great. Even until now, whenever Qiao Dongliang ran into problems, he only knew how to escape and ask Qiao Nan for help. He never thought if Qiao Nan could handle the things that he wanted to avoid. Who was the father and who was the daughter? Were their positions reversed?
A lot of fathers protected and doted on their daughters. However, his daughter shouldered the responsibility of the entire family at a young age. Zhai Sheng felt that not a lot of men would get a divorce. However, his father-in-law was one of them.
