Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1911-1920

Chapter 1911: Silence

“If you’re not selling your house, we won’t sell this quad. I have a quad and a large house. Our family has two houses. If I can’t stay in the other house after selling one of them, why should I sell the quad?!”

How would Qiao Dongliang be softhearted after knowing about his elder daughter’s wishful thinking? She had really treated him and Ding Jiayi as burdens. His elder daughter had not recovered from her illness yet and needed her parents to do everything for her. However, she was already thinking of how to get rid of the two of them after she had recovered. Qiao Dongliang felt that he shouldn’t be concerned about his elder daughter now but his livelihood in the future instead.

Based on Qiao Zijin’s plan, Qiao Dongliang didn’t feel that Qiao Zijin would find a job to earn money and lead a good and honest life once she had recovered from her illness. Since Qiao Zijin didn’t work but loved to spend money, where would the money come from? Of course, it would come from selling the quad.

Seeing how Qiao Zijin was idling at home, even if the quad was sold for a high price, it would not be able to withstand Qiao Zijin’s spending. At that time, not only would he and Old Ding not be able to enjoy their old age in peace, but they might even have to sweep the streets and earn a meager income of slightly more than a thousand yuan a month in their seventies and eighties.

“Dad, you…” She didn’t expect her father to be as bad as her mother. Both of them wanted to live in her house. Although her house had been around for several years, hardly anyone lived in it after it had been renovated and it was considered brand new. How would she let her parents live in such a good house?

Qiao Zijin despised Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi and felt that the two of them would dirty the house if they stayed in it. “Dad, don’t be angry. I’m thinking for you and Mom so that you could live your lives alone. Dad, I’m really doing this for the both of you.”

“That’s right. It’s fine that you don’t appreciate Zijin’s good intentions, but how can you throw temper at her? Zijin, don’t mind your dad. He’s ill-tempered and doesn’t know right from wrong.” Ding Jiayi supported Qiao Zijin. She felt that her elder daughter’s arrangement was pretty good.

With a living room and a bedroom, it was at least much better than the days when they had to sell the quad for the first time.

After glancing at the stupid Ding Jiayi who couldn’t even tell right from wrong but had the cheek to tell others off, Qiao Dongliang refused to communicate further with her. Anyway, the quad was under his name. If he disagreed, nobody could sell it. “I’ve said it before. Since I’m not willing to sell this house and Zijin is not willing to sell the big house, then we have to resort to the third method, which is for Zijin to stay at home every day and see if God is willing to give us a miracle so that she doesn’t need to undergo surgery or could get better just by taking medicine.”

The truth was that the first suggestion Qiao Dongliang put forward was already the biggest sacrifice he could make for Qiao Zijin as a father. At his age, would Qiao Dongliang not have known how big an impact undergoing a huge surgery like a kidney transplant would have on his health?

He would rather sacrifice his own health and shorten a few years of his life so that his daughter could live for a few more years. It was a pity that although he wasn’t afraid of shortening his life, his daughter was worried that his kidney wouldn’t work well and couldn’t let her live for a few more years. Not only was his elder daughter not touched, but she even disdained him. Qiao Dongliang felt that this was his and Ding Jiayi’s misfortune as parents.

The proposed solutions were rejected repeatedly. Qiao Dongliang’s fatherly love and patience were gone.

Qiao Dongliang’s words shocked Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin turned pale. “Dad, by the third method, do you mean for me to wait for death?” For an illness like hers, how was it possible for there to be a miracle?
