Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2088: You’re Right

Many years of past experience told Qiao Zijin that her happiness in the next lifetime depended fully on Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi. As long as her parents were on her side, no matter how much Qiao Nan resisted, Qiao Nan would never be able to escape from doing all the hard work to benefit her, the sister.

In this matter, both of them had to be on her side. It wouldn’t do if there was only one of them.

See? Because her dad had turned against her, Qiao Nan was no longer as easy to control as before. She even dared to escape and marry Zhai Sheng privately without their family’s consent. Upon thinking about Zhai Sheng, her brother-in-law, apart from the time Qiao Dongliang was hospitalized, she never got to see him again.

Thinking about this, Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but suspect if Qiao Nan was worried that she would snatch Zhai Sheng over like how she snatched Chen Jun back then. As such, Qiao Nan always guarded against her and didn’t let her meet him. Even on the day of their marriage, Qiao Nan was so scared that she didn’t dare let her attend their wedding.

Pulling back the thoughts that were far away, she could tell that Qiao Dongliang was really angry at her now. Qiao Zijin wanted to coax him as well. The problem was that both parents were angry with her now. It couldn’t be like the past anymore, wherein one helped her coax the other who was angry.

Comparing Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi, the former was much less important than the latter. After thinking for a while, Qiao Zijin insisted on sitting next to Ding Jiayi and continuing to coax her. After coaxing Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin knew that Ding Jiayi would help her coax Qiao Dongliang. Conversely, if she coaxed Qiao Dongliang first, he might not help her coax Ding Jiayi together.

If her mom saw that she coaxed her dad first, she might even be angrier and become more difficult to coax.

“Mom, look. You’re angry with me. Could it be that you can’t feel the sincerity of my apology? Mom, you should know that in my heart, you’re the most important.” Qiao Zijin’s kind words were as sweet as sugar. She kept throwing them on Ding Jiayi like they were free.

In the past, Ding Jiayi fell for Qiao Zijin’s words the most. What was strange was that they weren’t working today. Ding Jiayi looked at the TV. After glancing at Qiao Zijin, she said, “Forget it. You’re the closest to me? You know clearly in your heart who or what you’re closest to.”

What was the use of her saying that they were close? She liked money and even got quite a lot of money from that wretched girl, Qiao Nan. However, in the end, she didn’t spend any money on her own. She saved all of it and helped Zijin buy a house so that she could have a dowry and stand upright in front of the Chen family.

Compared to money, she found Zijin, her daughter, to be more important.

Sadly, Zijin didn’t seem to treat her the same way. She said they were close. In reality, when it came to money, Zijin would change and even throw temper at her, saying that she regarded her as an ATM like Qiao Nan and only knew how to ask her daughters for money.

With a clear conscience, she treated that wretched girl that way but not to Zijin. If Qiao Nan was a wretched girl, Zijin was a bad child without any conscience!

Ding Jiayi was only short of saying explicitly that Qiao Zijin wasn’t close to anyone else other than money.

Qiao Zijin felt a headache as well. The more she felt the pinch, the more her mother wasn’t willing to give up the issue of money easily. There was no choice. Qiao Zijin was really reluctant to fork out money.

Mothers didn’t develop enmity with daughters overnight. After all, she wasn’t trying to coax her mother over one or two thousand yuan but one hundred thousand yuan. As such, Qiao Zijin changed her style of doing things. She ordered takeaway. However, this time, not only did she order takeaway before Ding Jiayi prepared dinner, but she also ordered Ding Jiayi’s share so that she could pull Ding Jiayi along to eat together.

Qiao Zijin thought it clearly and wanted to resolve this issue of a meal first. All the issues arose because of the takeaway. Naturally, it would take takeaways to resolve these issues. Her only motive now was to appease her mother so that she would be willing to continue providing for her three meals daily.

Giving up a small amount of money was to save a bigger amount of money.

Qiao Zijin had ordered takeaways for three days consecutively. For these three days, she always pulled Ding Jiayi along to eat with her. Not only was the food she ordered slightly expensive, but they were also Ding Jiayi’s favorite.

In just three days, she had spent nearly a thousand yuan. Qiao Zijin’s heart was bleeding. “Mom, are we ordering takeaway tomorrow as well? I’m a little sick of eating like this every day.” Her mother’s dishes weren’t as delicious as takeaway food. However, the crucial thing here was less money was spent. Not only was it lesser, but she also didn’t have to fork out any money!

After eating, Ding Jiayi poured herself a cup of tea. “You’re not ordering takeaway tomorrow?”

“Yes...” Qiao Zijin looked at Ding Jiayi’s face carefully. “I have such thoughts. After eating, I realized that takeaway food isn’t as healthy and delicious as home-cooked food. Mom, what do you think?”

Ding Jiayi flossed her teeth. “Sure. You’re the one who has been ordering takeaways. Of course, it’s up to you to decide if you want to order takeaways for tomorrow. So be it if you’re not ordering.” For three days, not only did she not have to cook, but she also didn’t need to wash the dishes. Yes, this feeling was good.

Quite a bit of money was spent. However, undeniably, the money spent was worthwhile.

Hearing that Ding Jiayi agreed to this, Qiao Zijin was extremely happy. The storm was over.

This time, Qiao Zijin argued with Ding Jiayi twice. Qiao Zijin only wanted to fix the second issue they were arguing over. She wanted to fight for the right to have meals at home so that she didn’t need to spend money on takeaways. As for the first issue they were arguing over, Qiao Zijin chose to selectively forget it.

It was good that they reconciled. As to what they reconciled over and what they were still arguing about, she didn’t care. After the matter was over for half a month, her mother shouldn’t remember it anymore.

It was just that Qiao Zijin realized she had thought of the matter too simply when they were eating. She thought that her mother was a simple-minded person. If she wasn’t simple-minded, would she have been able to coax her so well in the past?

Unexpectedly, after Ding Jiayi calmed down, she was still quite intelligent in front of Qiao Zijin.

Seeing the pitiful dishes on the table, Qiao Zijin was a little unhappy. There were so few dishes. They weren’t enough for even her half a bowl of rice. It was just that she had just reconciled with her mother. If she became impolite with her words now, it could be said that the one thousand yuan she spent on takeaways in the past was spent in vain.

As such, Qiao Zijin suppressed her anger and smiled. “Mom, prepare more dishes for the next meal. Actually, when we are eating, we can have more dishes and lesser rice. The nutrition is all in the dishes.”

After hearing Qiao Zijin’s words, Ding Jiayi smiled. “Perhaps you’re right.”
