Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2232: What Do You Mean?

Qiao Dongliang was still angry at Ding Jiayi for spoiling Qiao Zijin until she was so unfilial and had no conscience. How would Ding Jiayi have the cheek to cry now? Didn’t Ding Jiayi cause this to happen herself? Ding Jiayi didn’t know how to raise a child. Qiao Zijin didn’t have a heart. It was no wonder they were mother and daughter.

Qiao Dongliang placed some dishes into Ding Jiayi’s bowl, asking her to eat them quickly. Ding Jiayi did so many things to ruin Qiao Nan. Why was Qiao Nan still filial to Ding Jiayi? It was because Ding Jiayi had given birth to her!

Based on this level of relationship, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t be so heartless with Ding Jiayi. Similarly, he didn’t allow Qiao Zijin to be disrespectful toward Ding Jiayi. If he hadn’t criticized Qiao Zijin, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t have thought that there was something wrong with her attitude and behavior. “You have heard your elder daughter’s words. If you’re willing, you can prepare my share in the future. I’ll fork out half the money. If you’re not willing, we’ll be just like in the past where we settle our own meals. As for this daughter of yours, since you can’t control her anymore, you should stop controlling her. Let her handle things herself. Unless she’s cooking for you, you have to sort out your thoughts.”

Could it be that Old Ding wanted to serve Qiao Zijin for a lifetime until she died? Or could it be that Qiao Zijin didn’t ‘whip’ Ding Jiayi hard enough every time such that Ding Jiayi only remembered to suffer and not retaliate?

“Alright.” It wasn’t that Ding Jiayi didn’t cherish Qiao Dongliang’s care and concern, which she hadn’t seen for a long time. On the contrary, she cherished it a lot. She had been at home alone for more than a month now. Ding Jiayi felt that she was the only one left in this world and was miserable.

However, Ding Jiayi realized now that she had not divorced Qiao Dongliang. Her daughter was unfilial but she still had a husband and they could support each other.

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi looked like they reconciled and were a happy couple. Qiao Zijin was shocked. What did this mean? Now that they had gotten back together, they were starting to ostracize her? It seemed like she wasn’t their daughter. How ridiculous.

Also, her dad asked her to be a housewife. Did her mom really agree to that? Since when did she have to use the stove herself? Certainly not before her marriage, after her marriage, or after her divorce!

Sure, all of them looked down on her and belittled her. They thought that she wouldn’t have a chance to make a comeback in this lifetime and could only be suppressed by Qiao Nan, right? When she made it big, she was going to see if her parents would still be like this now, treating her with disdain as if she was a leech.

Qiao Zijin secretly swore that when she was rich and became a multimillionaire, she was going to hire a nanny. What a great idea! Why hire a part-timer? She had so much money. Would it be overboard to hire a nanny to serve her every day? Anyway, she had money. She could afford it. By then, she would definitely move out of this lousy courtyard. She was going to buy a big house and decorate it well. She was even going to raise an expensive dog.

When she was really rich in the future, she’d rather spend the money on her dog than let these two old people before her benefit!

No matter how many vicious oaths Qiao Zijin made in her heart or how many grievances she had toward Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi, the only thing Qiao Zijin could do now was to eat the dishes that she didn’t like abidingly so that her stomach would at least be filled up.

In the blink of an eye, she had already spent half of the money she got from selling the house. The problem was that she had spent half of the money within a year. Qiao Zijin had to consider her life for the decades to come. As such, before getting the ten million yuan, she couldn’t afford to waste any more money.

Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, she was living off others. If she liked it, she would eat more. If not, she would eat less and treat that she was on a diet. When ten million yuan was in her hands, she wouldn’t want to stay at this house for a second more!

Qiao Zijin held up her rice bowl and ate in silence. How would she dare to throw tantrums? Not only was Qiao Dongliang not happy, but it made him feel bitter. He didn’t say anything too serious. However, his attitude just hardened a little and Qiao Zijin became obedient, no longer throwing tantrums.

In the past, he and Ding Jiayi had really failed to fulfill their responsibilities as parents, thus raising Qiao Zijin into a forty-two-year-old giant baby. Qiao Dongliang used to sneer when he heard such a term. How much of a failure were the parents such that they raised such a child up? However, at this moment, Qiao Dongliang felt that he was such a person as well. Qiao Zijin was a living example.

“Since I’m finally back, I’ll walk around outside and visit old friends.” There were still a few boxes of food that were brought back from the capital. Qiao Dongliang had brought them back to his room earlier. Aside from the old neighbors, Qiao Dongliang had a few closer colleagues when he was working in the past.

Qiao Nan was used to buying more of such things instead of less as it would be embarrassing if there wasn’t enough. Since there were more, Qiao Dongliang was about to go to his old colleagues and reminisce about the past or have a chat with them.

Qiao Dongliang only felt that staying in a home like this was extremely boring. He’d rather find his colleagues to reminisce about the past than face Qiao Zijin.

“Alright, come back early. Night falls very quickly nowadays. Three in the afternoon is fine. For dinner, I’ll prepare some spicy dishes.” They were old. Ding Jiayi realized that as a child grew older, there would be another thing on their bodies: wings.

From the call, Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Zijin wanted to live in the capital. She looked at Qiao Dongliang again. He obviously cherished Qiao Nan and her triplets but still returned to Ping Cheng to accompany her during the new year. Her child would fly, but her husband wouldn’t. Rather than pleasing her child, it was more important to work hard and try to win her husband’s heart back.

As such, Ding Jiayi naturally transferred all the attention she spent on Qiao Zijin previously to Qiao Dongliang now. Who didn’t know how to be selfish? Furthermore, Qiao Zijin had learned her selfish habit from Ding Jiayi.

“Alright.” Sensing Ding Jiayi’s change, Qiao Dongliang was still quite satisfied. As long as Ding Jiayi continued to be sensible, Qiao Dongliang felt that both of them could still lead a life together.

Once Qiao Dongliang left, Qiao Zijin blew up. “Mom, when Dad was around, it wasn’t convenient for me to say anything. Now that Dad’s gone, let me ask you. What do you mean by this? You know that I don’t eat spicy food but you still prepared that. Did you do this deliberately?”

“I’m not being deliberate. You and I don’t eat spicy food but your dad likes it. He has accommodated us for decades. How many years are left between me and your dad? As such, I want to accommodate your dad now. Can I do that?”
