Chapter 1918 Silence
"If you don't sell that house, you can't sell this courtyard house. I have a courtyard house and a large suite. Our family has two houses. If one is sold, I can't live in the other one. Why should I sell the courtyard house!"
Everyone knows what kind of wishful thinking their eldest daughter has. She really regards herself and Ding Jiayi as a drag. How can Qiao Dongliang be soft-hearted again. The eldest daughter has not recovered from her illness yet, and the two of them need to organize everything for her. The eldest daughter has already thought about how to abandon the two old ones after she recovers. Qiao Dongliang feels more and more that what he needs to worry about now is not The eldest daughter, it is her own later life.
Regarding Qiao Zijin's plan just now, Qiao Dongliang did not hear at all that after Qiao Zijin recovered from his illness, he planned to find a job to make money and live a serious and down-to-earth life. Qiao Zijin doesn't work and loves to spend money. Where does the money come from? Of course it’s the money from selling the courtyard house.
Like Qiao Zijin, he is sitting on nothing. No matter how high the price of the courtyard is, he may not be able to afford Qiao Zijin's flowers. At that time, not only could he and Lao Ding not be able to take care of themselves in their old age, but they would also have to sweep the streets with a meager income of more than 1,000 yuan a month.
"Dad, you..." Unexpectedly, her father was as bad as her mother and wanted to live in her big suite. Although her house is several years old, few people have lived in it since it was renovated. It is brand new. In such a nice house, her parents would not even have a place to stay, so how could they live in it?
Qiao Zijin just disliked Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi and felt that letting them live in a large suite would make his house dirty: "Dad, don't be angry. I'm not thinking about you and mom. I think you can live alone by yourself." My little life? Dad, really, I’m doing this for your and mom’s benefit.”
"That's it, even if you don't understand Zijin's good intentions, how can you still get angry at Zijin. Zijin, don't argue with your dad. Your dad has such a bad temper that he can't tell good from bad." Ding Jiayi supported him. Qiao Zijin, anyway, she thinks the eldest daughter's arrangement is quite good.
Really, having one bedroom and one living room is at least much better than the first time selling a courtyard house.
He couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and he still had the nerve to tell others off. He glanced at Ding Jiayi, who was so stupid, and Qiao Dongliang refused to communicate with Ding Jiayi anymore. Anyway, the courtyard is in his name, but he disagrees, and no one can sell it: "I said, since I am not willing to sell this suite, and Zi Jin is not willing to sell the big suite. Then there is the third way, Zi Jin Jin stays at home every day, waiting to see if God will open his eyes and give us a miracle. Zi Jin’s illness will not require surgery, or he will be cured by just taking medicine. "
In fact, the first opinion Qiao Dongliang made was that as a father, he had made the biggest sacrifice for Qiao Zijin. At Qiao Dongliang's age, could Qiao Dongliang not know how much impact a major operation like removing a kidney would have on his health?
He would rather sacrifice his own health and shorten his life span, hoping that his daughter could live a few more years. It's a pity that he is not afraid that his life will be short.
My daughter is also worried that his kidneys are not working well and will not allow her to live for a few more years. Not only was the eldest daughter not moved, but she even disliked him for being such a person. Qiao Dongliang felt that this was the tragedy of him and Ding Jiayi as parents.
The proposed solutions were repeatedly rejected, and all Qiao Dongliang's fatherly love and patience went bankrupt.
Qiao Dongliang's words made both Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin dumbfounded. Qiao Zijin's face turned pale: "Dad, do you mean by your third method, let me wait to die?" With a disease like hers, How could a miracle happen one day?
The doctor made it very clear that even if she underwent a kidney transplant, there was still no 100% chance that her disease would not relapse or that she would never get it again. Even if it is cured, it may not be completely cured. If it is not cured, isn't it just a dead end?
Did she hear it wrong or her father said it wrong? How could her father say such callous words as to leave her waiting for death?
"Old Qiao, you are so confused. Don't you even know what you just said?" Ding Jiayi was shocked. He and Lao Qiao only had one child left, Zijin. If Zijin is gone, what hope will she and Lao Qiao have in the future? I'm just afraid that when she and Lao Qiao die, there won't even be anyone to mourn for them: "Zijin, don't get me wrong, your dad is so worried because of your illness, he has a bad temper. , but no matter what, it can’t be that way.”
Ding Jiayi was embarrassed to say the word "waiting to die" and urged Qiao Zijin to help Qiao Dongliang "clear her name".
Qiao Dongliang was completely unwilling to accept Ding Jiayi's "kindness": "Okay, I've been home for an hour. Old Ding, hurry up and cook. After dinner, I want to go to bed early today."
He didn't say anything wrong, nor was he joking. What he said couldn't be more serious. As for what his eldest daughter and Ding Jiayi think, Qiao Dongliang said he couldn't control it.
Life belongs to Qiao Zijin, and the right to choose is also in Qiao Zijin's hands. The doctor said that kidneys were in short supply and they finally got them. If their family couldn't make a decision as soon as possible, I'm sorry, but the hospital wouldn't delay. Other patients are also very anxious about their illnesses. Once the time is up, the kidney source can only be allocated to other patients.
For the sake of money, Qiao Zijin would rather miss this kidney source than even care about his own life. Qiao Dongliang said, why is he worrying so much? Qiao Zijin wants to live and work hard to live. Qiao Zijin doesn’t want to live anymore. He is already an old man, and there is no way he can hold Qiao Zijin to prevent Qiao Zijin from dying. He is not a doctor. Qiao Zijin didn’t want to have the kidney either.
"What are you doing? I told you to cook, but you didn't hear me. Do you want to starve me to death? By then, you will be the only one left in our family, Ding Jiayi. At that time, if you really want to go to heaven and no one will care about you, you will be happy, right?" Old Ding was no longer confused. If Old Ding continued like this, he and Old Ding would not be able to continue living.
As long as Old Ding was around, no matter what bad ideas the eldest daughter had, she would be able to cause trouble and make people feel uneasy. Nan Nan was so scared that she hid away and dared not come back. At his age, he would be more afraid of trouble than Nan Nan. If he and Old Ding couldn't live like this, then let it go.
After being scolded by Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi, who was still acting stupid, could only stand up woodenly and go into the kitchen to get busy. It was not until Ding Jiayi finished cooking dinner that she realized what had just happened.
The Qiao family ate in silence during this dinner. No one spoke. Qiao Zijin had a sullen face the entire time. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, she returned to her room expressionlessly.
