Chapter 2045: Remember It All

Wasn’t it just one hundred thousand yuan? She would take it as accumulating experience today. Next year, she would definitely earn more than this one hundred thousand yuan.

“You have thought so beautifully.” Ding Jiayi still wanted to pull strings. The neighbor only felt that she was going to laugh her teeth off. “Would we, these neighbors of the quad, not know how capable the Qiao family is?”

“Our Qiao family might be incapable in the past, but things are different now...” Their Qiao family couldn’t pull strings and was incapable? One had to know that the chief was now her son-in-law! She was now the chief’s mother-in-law!

In this world, there were a lot of women who gave birth to daughters. However, there were not many in this world whose daughters could marry the chief. She, Ding Jiayi, was one of them. She was that capable. Even if she couldn’t give birth to a son, the daughter she gave birth to was more capable than other children. Even a son couldn’t compare to her daughter!

“Haha...” The neighbor laughed until her waist was sore. “Yes, yes. Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng and became the chief’s wife. However, who are you, the chief’s mother-in-law? Is your relationship with Qiao Nan like an ordinary mother-daughter pair? Who else in Ping Cheng doesn’t know that you treated Qiao Nan as a cow to order around and as hard labor of the Qiao family? What kind of mother are you? Qiao Nan ran away last year. When she got married this year, she didn’t invite you. She no longer acknowledges you as her mom.”

When Qiao Nan didn’t invite her to her wedding, the neighbor initially felt unhappy and uncomfortable. After all, they were living in the same quad and she saw Qiao Nan grow up. Back then, she was already thinking that her own daughter had graduated from university and was looking for a job. Using Qiao Nan’s wedding as an opportunity, she could find ways to get to know a few more people and help find a way out for her daughter.

As such, after failing to attend Qiao Nan’s wedding, the neighbor said words of jealousy for a long time. She said that Qiao Nan no longer recognized people after marrying into a good family and that it was no wonder Ding Jiayi would treat Qiao Nan in such a manner. After all, Qiao Nan was Ding Jiayi’s birth daughter. If it wasn’t that Qiao Nan was problematic to begin with, would Ding Jiayi beat and scold Qiao Nan when she was unhappy to vent her anger?

Such a thing happened to the Qiao family. If Ding Jiayi wasn’t good, something must be wrong with Qiao Nan as well.

However, at this time, the neighbor no longer felt so. All the problems clearly lay with Ding Jiayi. She couldn’t bother to say anything about Ding Jiayi’s contradictions and flaws. She and Ding Jiayi were neighbors for over ten years. However, she swallowed her family’s one hundred thousand yuan without blinking. She was really a ruthless character.

Yes, she didn’t attend Qiao Nan’s wedding. However, she was just a neighbor. As Qiao Nan’s birth mom, Ding Jiayi didn’t attend either. With Ding Jiayi as a comparison, the neighbor felt that her previous treatment was pretty normal.

“Your daughter doesn’t even acknowledge you. In that case, how could Zhai Sheng be considered your son-in-law? I bet the Zhai family never treats you as family. Don’t you know who you are? You really don’t have any tinge of self-awareness and even dare to boast this much. Bah! Return the hundred thousand yuan to us. Qiao Zijin wants to be a civil servant and pull my daughter down? Sure, I’ll wait and see. I’ll see how Qiao Zijin pulls my daughter down. If she’s better than my daughter, I’ll chop my head down for your family to use as a stool!”

As soon as the neighbor spoke, a lot of past events came to mind. “Although these things have passed for so many years, no one is suffering from dementia. Everyone has an impression of Qiao Nan’s childhood. When Qiao Nan was young, she was so well-behaved. She was always first in her class and top three in her grade. She’s the best in our quad when it came to studying. Your family’s strange. Instead of nurturing Qiao Nan, who was always in the top three in her grade, you chose to spend all the money in the family on Qiao Zijin, who didn’t know how to study at all. You sacrificed Qiao Nan for so many years just to buy a university degree for Qiao Zijin.”

When Qiao Nan dropped out of school to work, a lot of people in the quad didn’t understand it initially. Even if Qiao Nan didn’t like to talk, everyone in the quad knew how good she was in her studies. Even when their child was lagging behind, they would often place their child next to Qiao Nan to study together so that if they encountered something they didn’t understand, they could ask Qiao Nan directly. In this way, their child could be said to have earned a free and young teacher.

It was just that Qiao Nan was no longer studying. Even the nine years of compulsory education couldn’t make the Qiao family let Qiao Nan continue studying. As a bystander and outsider, what could they do if the Qiao family didn’t care about Qiao Nan’s future?

It cost quite a lot of money for a child to go to school. What if in the midst of persuading Ding Jiayi, she retorted with, “Are you going to pay for Qiao Nan’s school fees?”?

If such words were said, what were they going to do?

They were all people with children in their family. Who would be willing to let out a part of one’s hard-earned money to nurture other people’s children? If they didn’t do so, their words of kind persuasion would seem fake and that they were purely there to watch the Qiao family’s excitement.

Because of all the hesitations in their hearts, even if a lot of people felt that it was a pity that Qiao Nan couldn’t continue studying even though her results were good, no one eventually ran to the Qiao family to find Qiao Dongliang or Ding Jiayi to persuade them to consider letting Qiao Nan further her studies again.

Qiao Nan didn’t have much contact with these neighbors from the northern quad and wasn’t even willing to invite them to her wedding. It was also because of this that they passed off as a relative from her family to get some face.

Indeed, a distant relative was not as good as a near neighbor.

However, Qiao Nan didn’t enjoy the care of her neighbors since young. Because she was still unmarried when she was already forty years old, not only did the neighbors not feel heartache for Qiao Nan’s encounter and pity her, but they even taught their children that Qiao Nan was a negative example. When they were trying to frighten their child, they would definitely say, “If you don’t study well and get good results, you’ll be like that younger daughter of the Qiao family.”

Qiao Nan wasn’t deaf. She heard such remarks more than once.

When the parents initially used Qiao Nan as a negative example, they said it behind her back. However, perhaps they were used to it later. When their child brushed past Qiao Nan, before the distance between both parties widened, some neighbors couldn’t hold back and started educating their child by repeating those words.

Qiao Nan didn’t lose her memory. She still remembered all these.
