Chapter 2230: Not Enough IQ
Qiao Zijin's face darkened, and she spat in her heart: a bunch of flatterers. With just a little favor, these people were bought off, and they could be a little more cunning. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Nan didn't invite the neighbors in the north courtyard to the wedding banquet when she got married, and many people said sour words, scolding Qiao Nan for not recognizing people because she was rich.
Qiao Zijin was also very upset when she thought of being neighbors with such people. It really lowered her standards: "Mom, mom, I'm back?" Didn't they say that a lot of things were sent? She only vaguely saw that thing once, and knew that the package was very large. But Qiao Zijin didn't know what was in it.
Qiao Zijin could think of that since there were gifts prepared by Qiao Zijin for the neighbors. She was Qiao Nan's biological sister, Qiao Nan couldn't have prepared gifts for outsiders, but only left out her biological sister, right? No matter what, this time she went to the capital to see Qiao Nan who was pregnant, and she didn't leave until the three children were one month old. Qiao Nan should at least appreciate her kindness, right?
"You are back?" Ding Jiayi wiped the water off her hands, her eyes brightened. Old Qiao and Zijin are back, and she will no longer be alone in this family.
In the past, Ding Jiayi was particularly disgusted, thinking that her home was old and small, not as spacious and bright as a suite. But in the past month, she was the only living person left in this house, and Ding Jiayi realized that her home was actually not small. Sometimes, when Ding Jiayi was a little timid, or when she heard some noise outside, Ding Jiayi felt that her home was a little big and a little uneasy.
Now that the family of three is reunited, Ding Jiayi's courage suddenly grew: "You must be tired, sit down quickly, I'll pour you and your dad a glass of water, you can take a rest." Seeing the dusty father and daughter, Ding Jiayi was particularly happy, and her expression looked much calmer than before.
Qiao Dongliang, who had no luggage around him, was much more relaxed, but he was older, so he looked more tired than Qiao Zijin: "I heard from the neighbors that my package has arrived. Where are the things? Did you open them and touch them?"
"No." Ding Jiayi waved her hands quickly, fearing that Qiao Dongliang would misunderstand her: "Look, such a big bag of things is piled there. I thought that you and Zijin could arrive today, so I won't open it for you. When the time comes, don't mess up your things. If something is lost, you won't be able to figure it out."
The main reason is that Ding Jiayi's relationship with Qiao Dongliang is not as good as before. Ding Jiayi dare not open Qiao Dongliang's things privately, for fear of being scolded by Qiao Dongliang. Like before, when the couple had a good relationship, Ding Jiayi would not dare to touch anything that belonged to Qiao Dongliang.
"Yeah." Thinking that he had told the neighbors, Qiao Dongliang cut the bag with scissors after drinking the water: "This set of clothes is for you for the New Year. Take it back to your own room." Qiao Dongliang easily took out a set of women's clothes from the package and stuffed it into Ding Jiayi's hand.
He only said that this set of clothes was bought specifically for Ding Jiayi, but Qiao Dongliang did not mention who bought it and who paid for it. But even if Qiao Dongliang did not mention it, the three people in the room knew it well. In addition to Qiao Nan, who would pay for the new clothes for Ding Jiayi for the New Year, there was no other person.
After Qiao Dongliang retired, his pension was very small. In a capital like that, Qiao Dongliang's monthly pension might not be enough to buy a good suit, let alone one for Ding Jiayi: "By the way, be careful when you wear it, the price... is not cheap."
When Qiao Dongliang thought of the price of this suit, he felt particularly painful. If Qiao Nan had not bought it when he knew about it and it was inconvenient to return it, otherwise, he would never let Qiao Nan buy clothes of this price. The clothes looked similar. Such clothes would cost at most a few hundred yuan in Pingcheng with a different brand, but in the capital, it would cost four figures, almost three thousand, just for a coat!
If Ding Jiayi was a good mother,
Qiao Dongliang felt it was inappropriate for Qiao Nan to buy clothes of this price for Ding Jiayi, not to mention that Ding Jiayi was not a good mother, so how could she be qualified to enjoy Qiao Nan's filial piety.
Ding Jiayi was not blind, so she naturally saw the tag on the brand new clothes. Seeing the four-digit price tag, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little pain: "Is there a discount?"
"Discount?" Qiao Dongliang sneered: "How can there be a discount? There is no discount at all. It's a pity that I'm not here. If I were here, I would let her buy you this kind of clothes. Ding Jiayi, touch your chest and see if the things there are still there. Do you think you deserve these good things that Nannan bought for you? Remember, when you want to do something to let Nannan down, think about these things, don't be shameless."
Ding Jiayi took away his ID card, bus tickets, and money. Because of Ding Jiayi's behavior, he wasted several bus tickets. Until now, Qiao Dongliang is still very angry. Several hundred dollars, can buy a better set of clothes for one of the little grandchildren, but all this money was wasted by Ding Jiayi in the end.
Ding Jiayi's face was burning and uncomfortable. She had never worn such expensive clothes in her life. When Qiao Zijin was married, she wanted Qiao Zijin to buy her a coat worth more than 800 yuan, but Qiao Zijin said that winter was almost over and when next winter came, all these clothes would become old-fashioned, so she could get rid of them by then.
Ding Jiayi really likes to wear nice clothes. Her requirements are not high. She just wants to enjoy this blessing. The most expensive clothes Qiao Zijin bought for Ding Jiayi were only three hundred yuan, and none of them were more than five hundred yuan. The clothes Qiao Nan bought for her were almost three thousand yuan. For a moment, Ding Jiayi felt as if her throat was blocked and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Qiao Zijin on the side rolled her eyes, saying that her parents were really easy to bribe. Since when did her mother become so easily satisfied and moved? Clothes worth only a few thousand yuan, how could she be moved. For example, some famous foreign brand clothes now cost tens of thousands of yuan, okay? If Qiao Nan really repays evil with kindness, why didn't he buy clothes of that price for their family?
It's just that her parents are easy to deceive, and their IQ is not enough. They are moved by Qiao Nan just because they think it's a little bit more expensive.
No matter how much she dislikes it, Qiao Zijin will not give up things that "belong" to her. The clothes Qiao Nan bought were indeed not worth tens of thousands, but they were worth thousands. This price was really expensive in the eyes of Pingcheng people.
