Qiao Nan knew that Ding Jiayi must have been upset about spending a thousand yuan on three days’ worth of takeaways. In fact, these three days of takeaways must have been a torture to her.

Zhai Sheng massaged Qiao Nan’s waist. It went without saying that pregnant women had it the hardest on their waists and hips. Zhai Sheng was worried that he would not be around when Qiao Nan entered the later stages of pregnancy, and as such, he made use of the time he had now to care more about her. “You still can’t stop thinking about the Qiao family?”

Qiao Nan sighed as she relaxed her brows, clearly enjoying Zhai Sheng’s massage. “It’s not that I can’t let it go. It’s that my dad won’t let me forget about it. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin have started a war between them and my dad is trying to let me know that the two of them haven’t been living a good life and that they’re being punished for the evil deeds they committed against me in the past so that my anger will subside.”

Cool down?

Qiao Nan was not sure about that, but she did indeed feel a little better. Qiao Zijin had been raised and pampered by Ding Jiayi.. Now that she was experiencing it for herself, it was truly retribution!

Ding Jiayi always scolded her, calling her a wretched girl who had no conscience. But with Qiao Zijin around, Qiao Nan did not think that she had any right to claim those two titles. “I understand my dad’s intentions but I doubt he’ll ever understand mine. It’s easy to talk about repaying kindness with evil but it’s hard to actually go through with it. I have a clear conscience toward the Qiao family.”

Even though Qiao Zijin had toed the line of life and death after contracting uremia, she had never felt that her decision to abandon her family had been a crime. It was true that she had two kidneys and could afford to donate one to Qiao Zijin, but whether she was willing to do so was another matter altogether.

She had already done enough for Qiao Zijin, so why should she donate a kidney to Qiao Zijin? Without her, would Qiao Zijin die? If that was the case, then who was the one alive right now?

Without the money that she had given her family all these years, Qiao Zijin would never have had a house to sell. Even now, it was because of Qiao Nan that Qiao Zijin was living such a comfortable life!

Did her dad still want her to care for Qiao Zijin for the rest of her life? That was impossible. Supporting her parents was her obligation, but she was not obliged to support her siblings at all.

“...” Zhai Sheng frowned. He had read everything that Qiao Dongliang had sent. “Not a very smart person.” The person that Zhai Sheng was talking about was, of course, Qiao Zijin, and not Qiao Dongliang. Even though Qiao Nan had thrown a tantrum at Qiao Dongliang, he was still Qiao Nan’s father, after all, and Zhai Sheng had insisted on marrying Qiao Nan.

A son-in-law could not possibly scold his father-in-law.

“It’s normal.” Qiao Nan’s mood had improved significantly after Zhai Sheng’s massage. “She has never been very smart. Those who try to act smart can never compare to the ones who are actually smart. I don’t know why Ding Jiayi has been so obsessed with her since she was young. She thought that Qiao Zijin would definitely make a name for herself and would have an unbridled future. She even thought that Qiao Zijin would be so outstanding that ten sons wouldn’t even match up to Qiao Zijin.”

Qiao Nan knew that Ding Jiayi’s persistence in this regard was all due to the Ding family. Her paternal grandparents had passed on early while her maternal grandparents’ family was still alive. Unfortunately, they had never had much contact. Ding Jiayi had always been holding it in, trying to prove to her family that she was right, and she was even waiting for the Ding family to come crying and apologizing to her before she agreed to return.

From what her father had told her, the Ding family was just as stubborn. They had announced that Ding Jiayi would never be able to live a good life in the future. Qiao Dongliang would rejoice for only a short moment for marrying someone like Ding Jiayi. There would eventually come a day when he would regret his decision.

In fact, Grandma Ding had specifically made a trip down to tell Qiao Dongliang that on the day of his marriage to Ding Jiayi. Perhaps it was the car accident that had evoked her memories. In her dream, Qiao Nan had forgotten about the existence of the Ding family.

After waking up from her dream, Qiao Nan had started to remember quite a few details about the Ding family.

Because Grandma Ding had gone down on that particular day, only Grandma Ding and Qiao Dongliang had been present. Even though Qiao Dongliang knew that Ding Jiayi had fallen out with her family by insisting on marrying him, he had never imagined that his mother-in-law would be so evil with her words and curse her daughter’s marriage from the very first day. Of course, Qiao Dongliang had been infuriated at that time.

It could be said that Qiao Dongliang had trusted Ding Jiayi so wholeheartedly and had treated her so well, handing over all his earnings to Ding Jiayi and never interfering in Ding Jiayi’s treatment of their two daughters, all because of Grandma Ding’s words.

At that time, Qiao Dongliang had been extremely gullible. One was a wife whom he was going to live the rest of his life with, who did not even mind that he did not have any family, while the other was a fierce and stern stranger who spoke in a menacing tone. Even a fool would know which to choose between the two.

Qiao Dongliang could not help but try to fill in the blanks himself. The reason that Ding Jiayi had fallen out with her family definitely had to be related to how harshly the Ding family treated Ding Jiayi to the point that Ding Jiayi could no longer stand it and had no other choice but to leave. A man who had no other family left was the only straw Ding Jiayi could clutch on to back then.

Ding Jiayi had suffered badly in the Ding family and had been forced into such a state. Whether it was because he pitied Ding Jiayi or whether it was because of his role as Ding Jiayi’s husband, Qiao Dongliang was always willing to give Ding Jiayi respect and trust in their marriage.

Qiao Dongliang had told Qiao Nan about this not to expose their family’s dirty laundry but in hopes that Qiao Nan would be more understanding toward her mother. Ding Jiayi must have grown up being influenced by Mother Ding. Although Ding Jiayi was fierce and demanding toward Qiao Nan, she was pitiful as well because she had suffered at the hands of her own mother.

Qiao Nan asked Qiao Dongliang if Ding Jiayi knew about this, and Qiao Dongliang replied that she did not. After Mother Ding had left, Qiao Dongliang had kept mum about Mother Ding’s visit and had never mentioned it to Ding Jiayi.

Initially, he had thought that his mother-in-law had come to visit Ding Jiayi to forgive her and give her blessings. After all, there could not be any deep hatred between parents and their children. Nothing was too serious to be unforgivable.
