Chapter 803 - Beautiful Retaliation

Chapter 803 Beautiful Retaliation

Recalling how Ding Jiayi kept lamenting that plain porridge was tasteless and requested him to buy this and that but did not mention anything about money for the past few days, Qiao Dongliang fumed with anger.
Ding Jiayi’s hospitalization expenses were huge. It was good to have an additional yuan. Ding Jiayi had hidden more than twenty yuan in her pocket but she did not even mention it. This was the so-called being one family? And they wished to lead a good life together?
Money was truly the best item to test someone’s heart!
As a mother, she had more than twenty yuan but refused to take them out. She continuously spent money from other people’s pockets.
The daughter would rather pay outsiders two yuan than to buy one dinner for her mother. Truly, this mother-daughter pair was extinct and one of a kind.


It was right for this pair to lead a life together. Whoever lived with them was superfluous.
The ridiculous thing was that he actually took twenty years to understand this!
If not for all these, Qiao Dongliang would not insist that Ding Jiayi forked out money just to buy two meat buns.
Since Ding Jiayi had something up her sleeves, of course Qiao Dongliang had to improvise too. He could not possibly foolishly continue to be schemed against and taken advantage of, right?
After Qiao Dongliang bought two meat buns back for Ding Jiayi, he returned to his seat.
Right, I’ll tell you one more thing. I’ve told Nan Nan that Zijin came to visit you. From today onward, Nan Nan won’t prepare your meals anymore.


Ah…
Ding Jiayi was dumbfounded while she chewed her meat bun.
On what grounds?


On the grounds that you love Qiao Zijin most? Previously, you said that she went for an overseas learning trip with her classmates. Yesterday, she came to visit you. This clearly shows that she is already back. The mother is hospitalized due to a car accident. She can’t possibly travel again under such circumstances, no? You have such a good daughter. How could she not prepare anything for you? The food that Nan Nan prepared-didn’t your throat feel irritated whenever you took them?


…
Zijin was so delicate and precious. She was not born to do rough chores. How could Qiao Nan, that wretched girl, be compared to her?

Zijin… Zijin is not someone who does such chores.


Neither is Nan Nan! Do you take my daughter as your maid?
Qiao Dongliang shouted loudly!



I…
Ding Jiayi had a headache.
Old Qiao, you’re a grown-up man. When did you become so petty? We are one family. Qiao Nan knows how to do more things. Why can’t we let her do it? Zijin doesn’t know how to do so. Qiao Nan takes more care of Zijin now. When Zijin becomes wealthy in the future, she will definitely take care of Qiao Nan. I’m sure you don’t wish that the two sisters will become so distant that they won’t help each other, right?
In the future, there were many areas that Qiao Nan would need to depend on Zijin.
Qiao Nan doing more now could be taken as the repayment to Zijin when she needed to rely on Zijin in the future.
Qiao Dongliang crossed his arms and declined to converse further with Ding Jiayi.
She pushed everything to Qiao Nan because she wanted to improve the sibling relationship between Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin so that the family would be more united.
When Qiao Dongliang asked Qiao Zijin to share the burden equally with Qiao Nan, it was to distance the relationship Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan.
She was so good at finding excuses for herself. There was no need for Qiao Dongliang to continue his conversation with Ding Jiayi anymore!

Old Qiao, what do you say? If this is fine, quickly call home and tell Qiao Nan not to forget to prepare my meal.
As Qiao Dongliang was silent, Ding Jiayi thought that he had agreed with her views. She was still thinking about her coming lunch.
Qiao Dongliang sat down, shut his eyes, and rested, not uttering a word.
What did he say?
There was nothing to say!


Make a phone call?
Dream on!
When it was lunchtime, the food that Qiao Nan asked someone to send over was just the portion for Qiao Dongliang alone. She obeyed Qiao Dongliang very much and did not prepare Ding Jiayi’s share.
In the morning, Qiao Nan was quite surprised when she heard Qiao Dongliang tell her that.
Qiao Dongliang said to Qiao Nan,
Your mom has more than twenty yuan with her. She won’t die of hunger. Furthermore, Qiao Zijin came to see your mom. Your mom did not only give birth to you. You have also taken care of her for two weeks. It should be Qiao Zijin’s turn now. Remember, just prepare my portion. Don’t need to prepare anything more. Plain porridge? Even plain porridge is too good for her!

This time, Qiao Dongliang was more determined than Qiao Nan.
With just two meat buns in the morning, Ding Jiayi was not full at all. She was yearning for the meal that Qiao Nan would send over during lunch so that she could eat her fill.
The things sold in the hospital were expensive. She needed to spend a lot of money to fill her tummy. The food that Qiao Nan prepared would cost her nothing and it was much cheaper than what was sold at the hospital. Smelling the fragrance of the dishes and looking at Qiao Dongliang enjoying his food, Ding Jiayi was drooling nonstop.
Old Qiao, can you share some with me? Anyway, preparations are needed whether it is for one or two people. You give a call home and tell Qiao Nan to prepare two portions. My health is better now and I don’t have to eat plain porridge anymore. Get her to prepare rice directly for me. That will do. She can cook it in the same pot that she cooks yours. Right, tell her to buy vegetables that are fresh, and there should be meat in every meal. I need to nourish my body more. Actually, if that really can’t be done, she can prepare what she did for you. That’s fine too.

After suffering a few setbacks, Ding Jiayi was fearful of being rejected when she made a few requests that were overboard. She thus pleaded and expressed that she could also accept having food that was the same as what Qiao Dongliang was having.
Qiao Dongliang was focused on having his meal. He just let Ding Jiayi continue with her monologue.


When he had eaten his fill, Qiao Dongliang washed and put away the lunch box. Although Ding Jiayi had said so much, Qiao Dongliang did not even respond with a ‘yes’.
It was only when Ding Jiayi’s mouth and tongue were so dry and that her voice sounded hoarse did Qiao Dongliang do something. He stood up and poured a cup of water for Ding Jiayi.
When evening arrived, Qiao Nan continued to send over one portion of food for Qiao Dongliang.
Ding Jiayi could still endure missing the meal at noon. When it was night time, Ding Jiayi could not tolerate further. She gave Qiao Dongliang another one yuan and requested him to buy buns for her.

Hurry. I’m starving to death. If you are slower by a bit, they may not even have buns anymore.
Ding Jiayi urged Qiao Dongliang continuously.
Just place your lunch box here. You can continue eating them after you buy the buns.

She could not take it anymore. She was really going to die of hunger if she did not eat.
She was a patient. With only plain porridge or buns, there was not enough nutrition.
Even if she had to let down Old Qiao, she had to do this once. However, if she succeeded today, she would not be able to con any more rice and meat from tomorrow onward.
Ding Jiayi was staring at his lunch box and her eyes were green with envy. Qiao Dongliang first took over the one yuan from Ding Jiayi’s hands. When he saw the corners of Ding Jiayi’s lips curl up into a smile, he nearly laughed out loud.
At this moment, Qiao Dongliang reached out and lifted up his lunch box. He opened his mouth wide and consumed the rice in two to three big mouthfuls. He then finished up all the meat with the rice.
Nan Nan has been telling me to chew meticulously and swallow slowly during meals as that’s good for health. I seldom do this. It should be fine.
