Qiao Dongliang said that because he had made up his mind.

His wife’s favoritism had not happened over one or two days, and it was very serious. If his wife continued to take care of both of them, the younger daughter would certainly be destroyed at the hands of his wife.

The reasons why Qiao Dongliang dared to hand Qiao Zijin over to Ding Jiayi were twofold. First, Ding Jiayi had always been biased towards Qiao Zijin. As such, Qiao Zijin would not be neglected if Ding Jiayi took care of her.

Qiao Dongliang was not concerned about Qiao Zijin being rebellious. After all, children would go through this stage during their p.u.b.erty.

By nature, the elder daughter was still a good child and he need not worry that much.

Qiao Dongliang had put his words so bluntly, Ding Jiayi could not rebuke. She took the six yuan, and after consideration, she took out and added another two yuan from her own pocket, then pa.s.sed the money to the elder daughter.

“Mom, shouldn’t it be 10 yuan?” Qiao Zijin was a little unhappy when she saw the money. Compared to the previous time, the amount was small.

Ding Jiayi smiled. “Have you forgotten what your Dad said? Since I have not found a job yet, this family still depends on your Dad. You think eight yuan is little. Your Dad only gave me six and I added two yuan for you.”

In the past, Ding Jiayi was also considered a responsible woman. However, she had been a full-time housewife for 15 years.

All of a sudden, she had to return to society to work. Ding Jiayi felt awkward and unhappy.

It was because of her elder daughter that she ended up in such a predicament.

Qiao Zijin could see that Ding Jiayi was burning with anger inside. She quickly smiled. “Mom, don’t be angry. It’s not that you don’t know my grades. If I still do not work hard, how can I do better than Nan Nan? There’s a lot of study materials for sale but they are not cheap. Given the situation at home, I don’t mean to ask you for more money. I could gradually save up some of my meal expenses then buy them on my own. It’s just that, all of a sudden, I was short of two yuan. My plan was disrupted and I probably have to buy the study materials later. Mom, don’t be angry.”

“Is it really for buying study materials?” Ding Jiayi questioned suspiciously.

The earlier matter regarding the novel had left a phobia on Ding Jiayi.

If her daughter wanted to buy study materials, Ding Jiayi would use all means to squeeze out the money for her elder daughter.

But not for buying those novels that were bad and time-wasting.

The lack of family savings had now became the fear of Ding Jiayi.

“Of course it’s for buying study materials.” Qiao Zijin nodded her head hard. “But don’t be anxious, Mom. I can save up a little gradually. But the living expenses cannot be reduced anymore, if not, I don’t think I will have enough to eat, neither will I eat well.”

Those who attended The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China were either high achievers or from rich families.

There were also quite a number who entered the school in the same way as Qiao Zijin. Most of them did not meet the entry criteria. Hence, the school simply arranged them to be in the same cla.s.s, so that they do not affect the learning progress of the rest of the students.

If not, if her friends were having good food such as protein dishes, Qiao Zijin could not possibly have vegetarian meals.

Also, after attending the school, Qiao Zijin realized that there were many rich folk in this world. Her two weeks’ living allowance was not even the one day’s expenditure of the well-to-do students.

At the thought of this, Qiao Zijin’s lips pursed tightly, her eyes full of reluctance and jealousy.

If Qiao Nan went to work, she could also lead such a life. It was all Qiao Nan’s fault as she insisted on continuing her studies. She did not have any sisterly love for her, neither did she spare much thought for her.
