Rebirth to a Military Marriage : GOOD MORNING CHIEF

Chapter 16 - 20

Chapter 16: Shot in the Foot

"20... 20 yuan. We don't have so much." Ding Jiayi felt the pinch, 20 yuan - that was a month of the family expenses. "Anyway, Zijin has a lot of pens and notebooks, can't she use them?"

Qiao Dongliang was both amused and angered by Ding Jiayi's words. "While Zijin has a poor learning attitude, she can have everything new. Nan Nan's results are so good and she can only use the leftovers from Zijin? Let me repeat. Give Nan Nan 20 yuan!"

"If we give her 20 yuan, what are we going to eat and drink for this month?!" Ding Jiayi was not happy to provide the money.

"Mom." Qiao Zijin whispered to Ding Jiayi, trying to dissuade her.

She finally felt it. Recently, Qiao Nan's behavior was so bizarre that it was causing her bad luck.

With her father's current attitude, her mother would never be able to override him no matter how determined she was. Qiao Nan would undoubtedly continue with her studies.

Since this was the case, Qiao Zijin thought that her mother might as well agree to this immediately. This might even improve her father's impression of Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi pushed away Qiao Zijin's hands. "Zijin, I know you don't want me to argue with your dad, but please leave this matter alone."

Though he heard from Ding Jiayi that she did not have money on hand, Qiao Dongliang did not feel like questioning her on where his salary for the month went to. "If it's not enough, you can go to the bank to withdraw 100 yuan. That should do."

Nan Nan started school, so did Zijin.

As Zijin continued her studies, she certainly needed money. Old Ding could not possibly let her suffer. She would not give even one cent, not to mention 100 yuan.

At the mention of savings, all three women of the Qiao family became exceptionally quiet.

Qiao Nan need not say anything. The huge mess that her mother made would be found out sooner or later.

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had a look of guilt all over them. They dared not speak.

"Why are you standing there. Give me the chequebook. I will go to the bank with you tomorrow to withdraw 100 yuan." Qiao Dongliang stretched out his hands to Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi was scared stiff. Her face turned slightly pale and she stuttered when she spoke. "No. Didn't you want 20 yuan? I will give it to you. We don't have to go to the bank."

To ensure that Qiao Dongliang dismissed the thought of the passbook, Ding Jiayi immediately took out 20 yuan from her pocket and threw it on the ground.

Qiao Nan's face was stiff. She took deep breaths. She remained silent.

She must continue with her studies. At this time, it was not easy to get her mother to give any money out. She must cherish this opportunity.

Qiao Nan continued to comfort herself with such thoughts, but as an adult with dignity, her eyes were all red, and her hands reluctantly moved to pick up the money.

Qiao Dongliang pursed his lips. "Old Ding, although it is not the time to to fight now, I don't think you want me to lift my hand against you!"

Ding Jiayi was at the top of her anger, she not only had to give the money, but also had to wait on the wretched girl, Qiao Nan, as if she was their ancestor. Why should she?!

Before Qiao Dongliang could flare up again, Qiao Zijin stood up without a word, bent down and picked up the money. She blew and patted it dry before handing it to Qiao Nan personally. "Nan Nan, please don't misunderstand. Mom definitely loves you, but she hasn't been resting well recently, and has a poor temper."
