Chapter 179: Your Mom and I Go Our Separate…

Ding Jiayi did not like Qiao Zijin’s method of helping her out. It was not an easy task to clean up the house. It would take them half a day to do a simple clean up. If they intended to do a thorough cleaning, they would really have to go without sleep.

“No, Mom, listen to me.” Qiao Zijin pulled Ding Jiayi to one side. “Mom, when you stopped me and Qiao Nan from leaving just now, I accidentally b.u.mped into Qiao Nan. I noticed that she seemed to be hiding something in her clothes. It felt like a packet of money. I think there is a large amount of money.”

The stack felt long and rectangular. Besides money, Qiao Zijin could not think of any other possibility.

“No, where did she get the money from!” She and Old Qiao had no money. It was impossible that a child like Qiao Nan would have money with her.

“Did she borrow it?”

“Where in the world did such kind-hearted people exist? We still do not know where Qiao Nan borrowed the large sum of money previously. Your dad’s hospital stay cost around one thousand and five hundred yuan. On top of that, she repaid the money on our behalf. All of these amounted to a huge sum of money. She has yet to return the money she borrowed last time, so who lent her the money this time?” If it was so easy to borrow the money, she would not have to seek help from so many families before finally borrowing a few hundred yuan.

When Old Qiao was in trouble, those people acted like debt collectors, demanding their money back.

“How will I know where Qiao Nan got the money from? But I felt there was a lot of money in Qiao Nan’s pocket. Mom, what do you say about doing something with this money?”

“What you mean is… Are you sure? No, no. Given your dad’s temper, we must keep a low profile these few days.” Ding Jiayi wanted the money, but she was fearful of Qiao Dongliang.

This money was Qiao Nan’s. If she wanted Qiao Nan to hand them over, that wretched girl would definitely refuse. Ding Jiayi could not be bothered to argue with her.

In this life, Qiao Nan had made sure her mother understood that she would not be submissive or give in to her. It had only been less than a year, and Ding Jiayi had become accustomed to her firm att.i.tude and persistence, realizing that Qiao Nan would not budge easily.

“Mom, don’t be so foolish. We are a family. Everyone has a share in everything at home. Even if it is money, it doesn’t solely belong to Nan Nan. Does it mean we cannot do anything to Nan Nan if she refuses to hand over the money—that everything belonging to Nan Nan has nothing to do with Mom, the family, and me? There is no such thing in this world. Aren’t we still considered as one family?”

To put it simply, whatever Qiao Nan had, belonged to them; whatever belonged to them were theirs as well!

“But she will refuse to hand it over, so there is nothing we can do!” Ding Jiayi said helplessly.

“…” Qiao Zijin rolled her eyes. “When you needed the five thousand yuan for me to enroll in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, we somehow managed to get the money even though Dad disagreed. How did you do it?”

Who said we must get the consent of the rest of the family when we wanted their money?

Everyone was one family. Everything was shared between one another. In other words, she and her mother merely took their own things. There was nothing wrong with it.

No one would need to inform the others when they took their own things. Wouldn’t that be a joke?
