Seeing Qiao Zijin like this, Ding Jiayi was pretty afraid. “Old Qiao, your words were too unkind just now. Zijin took your words seriously and became angry.”

Qiao Zijin answered Ding Jiayi after eating his fill. “She’s already a mother in her forties. Think about it yourself. How long has she worked for? She’s already an adult but keeps relying on others and her parents for a living. We don’t despise her, yet she dares to be rude toward us. This daughter is filial, really filial. We have raised such a good daughter up. If you’re afraid, go and coax her. I won’t do it. Also, if Zijin took my words seriously, you’d better take my words seriously as well. If she’s unhappy, I’m not going to stop her. Doesn’t she still have a house? She despises us both and isn’t willing for us to stay in her new house. I won’t go over, but she can stay there herself. I promise you that if she stays in the big house, I would definitely not go over out of greed. I am surnamed Qiao!”

Qiao Dongliang was really not afraid or worried at all that Qiao Zijin was angry. Alone in his old age? Sorry, but he was really not worried. If he still couldn’t figure out at this time which daughter was the truly filial one, all the years of rice he had eaten would have gone to waste.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He admitted that he didn’t treat Nan Nan well enough and caused her to suffer. However, he believed firmly that even if he was an incompetent father and had treated Nan Nan badly, Nan Nan would definitely be the first to stand up and take on the responsibility if he needed someone to provide for him when he was old.

He had someone to provide for him. When he passed away, there was someone to plan his funeral and cry for him. Thankfully, he wanted a second child back then. Otherwise, at this time, he really had to be like Ding Jiayi and be worried about his old age in the face of such an unfilial daughter!

Although Qiao Zijin returned to her room angry without eating much, she was really worried that her father’s words were true and that he wouldn’t change his mind again. If that was really the case, didn’t it mean that she could only be waiting for death since she refused to accept her parents’ kidneys and was unwilling to sell the big house?

At her age, she still had a lot of good days ahead. She didn’t want to die. She wanted to live well!

As such, the person who was truly afraid the most was Qiao Zijin herself.

“Mom.” Upon seeing Ding Jiayi walk in, Qiao Zijin stood up nervously. “Mom, after I left, what did Dad say? Did Dad regret it but couldn’t bring himself to apologize to me? Although Dad’s words were overboard, I won’t be calculative toward him. Did Dad say to sell the quad quickly for my treatment?”

The kidney source really couldn’t wait for her any longer!

Embarrassed, Ding Jiayi looked at Qiao Zijin and didn’t say anything. Not only did Qiao Dongliang not say the words Qiao Zijin mentioned, but he even said that he couldn’t be more serious. “Zijin, I don’t know what happened to your father suddenly either. However, you should think clearly. The hospital might be arranging the kidney for another patient tomorrow.”

Qiao Zijin felt that something in her body broke. “Mom, does Dad mean that he really wants to watch me die and not want me anymore? Could it be that to him, money is more important than my life? How is there such a ruthless father in this world? Am I your birth child? Qiao Nan has already run away. I’m your only daughter left. Is Dad prepared to live his life together with the quad so that when he dies, the quad can plan his funeral instead?”

“Softer!” Ding Jiayi stepped forward and covered Qiao Zijin’s mouth. “Your father is obviously holding a grudge against you. If he hears this, you really should forget counting on the house for your surgery.”

Old Qiao was the decision-maker in the family. If Old Qiao wasn’t willing to sell the house, there was no point in her being a willing party.

“Zijin, why don’t you listen to your father and choose one of the two former methods? Didn’t you say that being alive was more important than anything else? What is more important is that our family of three is always together. I was listening just now, and the second method seems feasible. Why don’t you sell the big house? Anyway, you have always been staying at the quad. Of course, if you really like the big house and want to sell the quad, I don’t think your father means anything else. He just cherishes you, this daughter, and wants to stay together with you. Let me and your father stay with you in the big house. We’re already an old couple. People will laugh their teeth off if they find out we still want to have some alone time. As long as you let me and your father stay in the big house, he might be willing to sell the quad.”

Things have not reached the worst yet. Aside from that last sentence, Old Qiao’s words made sense and he didn’t say anything overboard.

Ding Jiayi didn’t think too much. As long as her daughter and husband were by her side, it didn’t matter where or with whom they stayed. Ding Jiayi could accept the result of the two of them staying in a house with a living room and a master bedroom or with their daughter.

Ding Jiayi could accept it, but the problem was that Qiao Zijin couldn’t. However, compared to her life, she had to learn to accept things that she couldn’t accept. “Mom, initially, I wanted you and Dad to live together alone. However, since you’ve already said this and Qiao Nan is like that, I will definitely be the one to take care of you and Dad in the future. Let’s sell the quad first. When I’ve recovered from my illness, the three of us will live together in the big house.” Would that do?

Qiao Zijin knew it clearly in her heart that the big house was under her name and the real estate certificate was in her hands. It couldn’t run away from her. However, the quad was different. The quad was under her father’s name. It might not necessarily belong to her in the end. Also, once the quad was sold, the money for selling the quad would be in her hands. Was there anything more real compared to this?

Anyway, she didn’t like the quad. She had long thought about it. When there was a chance in the future, she would stay in the big house. At the very most, she would move in a little earlier. She really couldn’t tell that her father had more thoughts than her mother. Not only did he not understand his child’s predicament, but he also did some things deliberately to burden her.

“That’s good. I think this idea works. Your father will agree to it.” Ding Jiayi was extremely satisfied. To be honest, after listening to Old Qiao’s words, she was worried as well. She and Old Qiao were only left with Qiao Zijin. Once the quad was sold, she felt insecure that she and Old Qiao would be living in a rented house and their only daughter wasn’t by her side.

As long as everyone stayed together, Ding Jiayi could accept this answer. “Have a good rest. I’ll speak to your father.”
