Chapter 772: Can’t Live without My Mother’s Family
After Zhai Sheng left, he did not go back to Zhai's house directly, but went to the hospital.
When Zhai Sheng arrived, he saw Qiao Dongliang's face was silent. His slightly lowered eyes seemed to be thinking about some important issue. His whole person was as quiet as if he didn't exist. But anyone who saw Qiao Dongliang could tell from Qiao Dongliang's expression. I felt a heaviness in my body.
"Uncle Qiao."
"You're here." Qiao Dongliang raised his head and realized that his neck was extremely stiff: "Nan Nan?"
"After I send Nan Nan back, I will let Nan Nan live with Shi Qing temporarily."
"That's right." Qiao Dongliang showed a forced smile: "You are better at taking care of Nan Nan than me. With you by Nan Nan's side, I can actually rest assured."
Usually he can't stand it, but Qiao Dongliang has always agreed with Zhai Sheng: "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"
"I don't know." Zhai Sheng didn't have any extra words and sat quietly next to Qiao Dongliang. Of course, directly opposite him was Ding Jiayi's ward.
After four hours of rescue, Ding Jiayi's life was safe, but two ribs in her abdominal cavity were broken, and one of them even penetrated directly into a lung lobe. Fortunately, it was not deep and did not puncture.
But even so, Ding Jiayi still went to the Lord of Hell as a guest and drank a cup of tea before being rescued.
"I suddenly thought of three years ago. Three years ago, around this time, you took Nan Nan covered in blood to the factory to find me. That day, Nan Nan cried very miserably. I took her to the hospital. , only then did I realize that in this age, Nannan was still being brought up to be malnourished by me. Phew..."
Qiao Dongliang sighed sadly: "Actually, I am still an old feudalist with old ideas. I think sons are better than daughters because sons can carry on the family line. So I don't care much about Zijin or Nannan. I think , I lost my qualifications to be a soldier for these two children, and as a father, I can be considered worthy of them. I work hard at boring classes every day, make money to support the family, feed them, give them drinks, and send them to school. As a father of two children, I have a clear conscience.”
"Until that time?" Zhai Sheng answered.
"Yes, until that time." As he said that, Qiao Dongliang covered his face with his hands, as if he had no face to face others: "It was also that time that I realized that my indifference and Ding Jiayi's partiality made Nannan... The family suffered great injustice. But over the years, Ding Jiayi always told me how good Zi Jin was and that he would definitely become a great person in the future. I also thought about recruiting Zi Jin as a son-in-law. Knowing that Nannan was wronged, I didn't help her seek justice. Even at that time, I wanted to be fair.
I knew everything and still asked Nan Nan to back down and give in. I can say the words, but the things I do are never as beautiful as the words I say. "
"..." Zhai Sheng knew that it took courage for Qiao Dongliang to say these words. Not every man has the courage to admit the mistakes he has made.
The son will not talk about the father's faults, but the father has. The son cannot talk about it, and the father will not mention it. This is a man's self-esteem as a father.
So in the whole process after that, Zhai Sheng didn't speak again, said a word, or made a sound. He just listened quietly to Qiao Dongliang's words.
"Going round and round, Nan Nan doesn't want to finish things, but there are always people who want to push Nan Nan to the end. Just think that Nan Nan owed me and Ding Jiayi in her previous life, and she should pay it back in this life. But what happens next? , Nan Nan is going to eat it again. Zhai Sheng, should you understand Nan Nan? Regardless of whether Nan Nan is confident or not, Nan Nan cannot care about what you have done. Everything is for Nan Nan's good, but sometimes, shouldn't you restrain yourself a little and think about whether your kindness to Nan Nan is what Nan Nan needs? "
"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, I understand what you mean."
"You are a smart man. I know that you will definitely understand, unless you don't want to understand."
"Has Uncle Qiao decided too?"
"It's decided." Qiao Dongliang nodded.
"You just told me to consider whether my kindness to Nan Nan is what Nan Nan needs. You should also know what kind of character Nan Nan is, Uncle Qiao."
"Don't worry, the decision I made this time has nothing to do with Nannan. I made it for myself. I am just an ordinary person who just wants to live a peaceful life. I can't withstand so much trouble. Since she is not a person who lives peacefully, Yes, it means we are not the same person. Even if we have been together, sooner or later, it is time for us to go our separate ways."
This time, Qiao Dongliang really made up his mind.
After three years of procrastination, Qiao Dongliang was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Different from the hesitation last time, when he thought of the word "divorce" this time, he felt his shoulders relax, and he felt a sense of relief.
"Just think about it." Zhai Sheng said without comment: "Uncle Qiao, this is for you."
Zhai Sheng took out a bankbook from his pocket: "Nan Nan gave this to me when I sent Nan Nan back. In fact, Nan Nan was prepared."
Looking at the numbers in the passbook, Qiao Dongliang bent over and started to cry.
For more than a year, Qiao Zijin never showed up, let alone asked Qiao Dongliang for a penny for tuition. While Qiao Dongliang was worried, he even felt more relieved.
All the wages he had accumulated over more than ten years were spent on Qiao Zijin. If Qiao Zijin did not show up for more than a year, he would at most spend more than a year's wages on Qiao Nan.
Compared with what Qiao Zijin got, what Qiao Nan got was really too little.
But no matter how much or how little, this is his father's affection for his daughter, and it can be regarded as the beginning of compensation for his little daughter.
Who would have known that in the end, Nan Nan not only didn't spend a cent of this money, but also had to put in all the money she earned from tutoring other people's children over the past year, leaving not a penny of the college tuition she had finally saved. Take it out.
Qiao Dongliang felt so bitter that he couldn't speak! ! !
Hearing Qiao Dongliang's whimpering, Zhai Sheng remained silent and sat quietly next to Qiao Dongliang. It wasn't until Qiao Dongliang's whimpering stopped and Qiao Dongliang's mood calmed down that Zhai Sheng handed a glass of water to Qiao Dongliang: "Oh my god. It’s hot, drink some water.”
From the fact that Qiao Dongliang had fucked her swollen mouth, Zhai Sheng knew that it had been a whole day since Qiao Dongliang sent Ding Jiayi to the hospital. She must not have even drank any saliva, let alone eaten anything: "Uncle Qiao, I Go take a look and buy you something to eat. Nan Nan will never have a good mother in her life, but you can't let her lose another father on the day I marry Nan Nan. Mother’s family.”
