Chapter 131: Sister-in-Law

Elder Lee must have heard about Qiao Nan’s situation from Zhu Baoguo, hence he specially went to the Qiao family’s residence today.

With Elder Lee’s words just now, unless she decided to quit school on her own accord, even if her father had to work his guts out, he would have to let her continue with her studies regardless of what excuses her mother came up with.

At least there was one thing Qiao Nan was sure of.

Even if she had a conflict with Qiao Zijin one day and either of them had to quit school, she would not be the one who would be forced to quit school.

“…”

“…”

Qiao Dongliang was too happy that he was in complete bewilderment. On the other hand, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were so furious that they were in shock, particularly Qiao Zijin who had turned green from anger.

After the merry-making today, everyone now knew that Qiao Dongliang had a capable daughter who came in first in the middle school exams, and her name was Qiao Nan. Nobody remembered Qiao Zijin, the elder daughter of the Qiao family.

“Mom, I don’t feel well, so I won’t be going to work today!” Nobody knew if her father would use her hard-earned money on Qiao Nan in the future.

She changed her mind in an instant and no longer wanted to quit her studies to work.

If she did not study, all the savings would be used on Qiao Nan. She could not take it lying down. Since her father wanted her to stay with the family and would take in a husband for her, everything in the Qiao family belonged to her and had nothing to do with Qiao Nan. She had no right to use her money!

Why should she work while Qiao Nan spent the money they earned? “Mom, I find it boring to work, so I don’t want to work anymore. Should I just resign today?”

“Fine.” Ding Jiayi agreed without much thought. “I have said long ago that you are still young, and the most important thing is to study hard. It is too tiring to work.”

“No!” Qiao Dongliang’s face darkened. “How could you pamper your child to this extent? One should not give up halfway. Zijin, since you have started to work, why would you want to stop working now? Zijin, according to your nominal age, you are already eighteen years old this year and could already apply for your identity card. Why are you still so unreliable? Nan Nan is younger than you by two years. Don’t you find it shameful for me to tell you to learn from her? Regarding what happened at the beginning of this year, although I kept quiet, it doesn’t mean what your mom and you did were right. I just couldn’t be bothered to lecture both of you. I have no idea where your mom got your school fees from. Did she tell you? Why would you waste all her efforts? You have been working for the past two months, and the pay could at least help cover half of the school fees. You could help lighten your mom’s load in this way, but why don’t you think in behalf of your mom?

“Don’t reprimand Zijin. She cares a lot about me. She said that when she receives her pay, she will get me a gift. We have an agreement. I will be in charge of Zijin, and you are in charge of Nan Nan. You have no right to lecture her or take her matters into your hand. I will take care of Zijin. She is very good to me. Everything that I have done is of my own accord. I am more than willing to work my guts out for her. From the way you lectured Zijin, I don’t think Qiao Nan is any better!” Ding Jiayi was displeased; she defended Zijin and sided with her.

“What’s wrong with Nan Nan? She can enroll in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, but she decided to go to Ping Cheng High School to lighten my load. She even managed to get a scholarship. Isn’t that good enough? At the very least, she did not squander all the money we had at home!” Qiao Dongliang laughed coldly. “Fine. Since you are willing, I won’t say anything and won’t meddle anymore. I only have one question for you. Where did you get Zijin’s school fees from at the start of the year?”
