As long as this old woman did anything, they would catch her and send her to jail. She had better not think of getting out.

“Alright, I understand.” The caregiver didn’t mean to find out whether Ding Jiayi’s younger son-in-law was truly a chief. But she wanted to know if the person who had hired her was truly Ding Jiayi’s younger son-in-law.

Now, the caregiver had her answer. He was not.

If her employer had been Ding Jiayi’s son-in-law, he wouldn’t have used such a distant tone when talking about her. The other party didn’t even seem to have realized who Ding Jiayi was the first time she had mentioned her name.

There was no doubt that this person who had hired her had been tasked to do so by Ding Jiayi’s younger daughter or son-in-law. They had even gotten someone else to hire someone to take care of Ding Jiayi. Besides, neither of Ding Jiayi’s daughters had shown up while she had been hospitalized. Thinking about how unreasonable Ding Jiayi had been to her, the caregiver came to a realization. Ding Jiayi must have been quite a failure in life that both her daughters disliked her and refused to take care of her.

In other cases, the caregiver would definitely have pitied such an old person. But because she had been scolded by Ding Jiayi, the caregiver knew that Ding Jiayi was an unreasonable old woman. Ding Jiayi was probably to be blamed for her daughters not being close to her.

With that answer, the caregiver relayed the message to Ding Jiayi. “Auntie Ding, the person who asked me to take care of you said he wasn’t your younger son-in-law. I don’t know who he is either. Besides, I have no way of getting in touch with your younger daughter.” action

“That’s impossible!” Ding Jiayi jumped up from her bed. “There can’t be so many good people in this world. My admission and hiring a caregiver all cost money. If a stranger is willing to spend so much money to take care of me, there’s no point in me giving birth to a daughter at all. You’re lying to me. Give your phone to me. I’ll call my younger son-in-law myself!” The world was in a mess! How could she say something like this?

Since Zhai Sheng was willing to listen to Qiao Nan and find someone to take care of her in such a situation, it was obvious that Zhai Sheng still cared very much about her, his mother-in-law. Of course, that was only right. Without her, Zhai Sheng would never have been able to marry Qiao Nan. Only she had been able to give birth to Qiao Nan.

The caregiver resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Why would Ding Jiayi still insist on calling the other party when she didn’t want to receive her call? “Auntie Ding, you must be hungry since you’ve only drunk a glass of water since you woke up, right? I’ll order some food from the canteen for you. You should have something to eat, at the very least.”

It was not difficult to tell that Ding Jiayi had a nasty temper. It was not the caregiver’s first time taking care of others. Even if she had not experienced such patients, she had heard of them before. The caregiver was afraid that Ding Jiayi would smash her phone if the call got through but she was unable to get a satisfactory answer.

Of course, someone would pay for whatever Ding Jiayi damaged even if she didn’t pay for it. But this phone was different. It had been a gift from her husband. She wouldn’t let a bad-tempered old woman smash something her beloved husband had gotten her.

“You…” Seeing that the caregiver was not listening to her and had not lent her the phone and had instead changed the topic, Ding Jiayi was infuriated. “You’d better get in touch with my younger daughter. My younger daughter is the one forking out the money. I don’t believe that there isn’t any other who is willing to take up this job. You might not listen to me, but Qiao Nan won’t dare to disobey me!”

Even if Qiao Nan refused to listen to her, Qiao Nan was still her daughter. She could forget about it since it was her own daughter. But it was too unreasonable for someone drawing a salary from their family to disregard her!

Someone like that would only anger her even further and cause her to fall sick. She had to replace this caregiver with someone who could really take care of others.

Very soon, the door to her ward was opened. Ding Jiayi was sulky and she said without even lifting up her eyes, “You’re back so quickly? What did you get? Also, just you wait. Once I’m full, I’ll use my own phone to call my younger daughter. When I get through, you’d better be self-aware and take your leave. My daughter will pay you for the day’s worth of work you did.”

“Oh, she’ll get paid for taking care of you for just a day? How much is she paid? Tsk, tsk. It seems like times have really changed. No wonder you said that I had to take good care of you once I made it big. Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng and inherited the Zhu family’s inheritance. She lacks nothing. Look how she arranged for a single ward that’s bright and clean for you. It’s even better than a hotel room. I can only imagine how much she pays for a night here. Indeed, it’s good to have a promising daughter. Now, you can enjoy your life.”

The person who had entered was not the caregiver but Qiao Zijin, who had returned to the Qiao family’s courtyard.

Qiao Zijin had no intention of paying for Ding Jiayi’s hospitalization bills. She had a clear memory of how Ding Jiayi had been sent into the hospital since it had something to do with how the two of them had been at odds. She had had first-hand experience of just how extreme her mom was.

If she were to carry this burden, her mom might very well pocket the money that Qiao Nan sent over for it. Then, her mom would say, “Qiao Nan’s my daughter. She’s giving me money for my treatment. Am I not your mom? What do you mean you made a deposit? It’s only right for you to pay for me. Besides, you aren’t the only one who paid for me. Qiao Nan paid for me too. I’ll use your money on my hospitalization bills and Qiao Nan’s on some nourishment once I’m discharged.”

With that thought, Qiao Zijin had slipped away after seeing her neighbors send Ding Jiayi onto the ambulance, giving the excuse that she was going to find her father.

To prevent her neighbors from finding her, Qiao Zijin had chosen not to switch on the lights the entire night, pretending that she had left to find Qiao Dongliang.

Today, Qiao Zijin had sneaked out of the house to visit Ding Jiayi in the hospital only after she thought that her neighbors had gone out to work.

“What are you here for?” Ding Jiayi had lost all expectation toward Qiao Zijin since she had not seen her the moment she opened her eyes. Ding Jiayi had even told herself that she would forgive Qiao Zijin for whatever she had done in the past as long as Qiao Zijin took care of her wholeheartedly while she was hospitalized.

Old Qiao was right.. Zijin had been a rather obedient child when she had been young.
