Rebirth To A Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1164 - Depend on Her Own Efforts

Chapter 1164 Depend on Her Own Efforts

He might not have lots of money, but he still had to spend the small amount of money that he had on the necessary items.

He would get to see his grandchildren in less than two months. As the maternal grandfather, he had to prepare gifts for them.

Qiao Dongliang understood that it was customary nowadays to give babies golden and silver jewelry to keep them safe.

He had more than one grandchild. He had to shop around to buy two bracelets for them.

Qiao Dongliang did not tell Ding Jiayi what was on his mind. But Ding Jiayi could not do anything about Qiao Dongliang. She would not behave like what she used to do in the past—being shameless and creating a din.

Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were not on good terms when she reported back to school.

As soon as Chen Jun reached Ping Cheng, he had told Qiao Zijin clearly that they could no longer be with each other and he wanted to break up. But Qiao Zijin refused to break up with him.

A divorce was different from a breakup. Both parties had to sign the divorce agreement in order to divorce.

As for a breakup, as long as one party had made up the mind, one could break up with the other party no matter how unwilling the other party was.

Since Chen Jun wanted to break up with Qiao Zijin, the Chen family would not continue to pay for Qiao Zijin’s school fees.

If the Chen family supported a poor student through school, they would at least earn a good reputation for doing good deeds. But they would not have any returns by spending money on Qiao Zijin.

They could do nothing about the previous losses. The Chen family needed to cut losses right now.

Now that the Chen family would no longer provide for her, Qiao Zijin had no way to finish her diploma studies. The only way was for Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi to take up the responsibility again as her parents to pay for her school fees.

The Qiao family almost made a phone call to Qiao Nan in the middle of August to ask her for money.

Fortunately, Qiao Dongliang still had a conscience and he s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone from Ding Jiayi.

Qiao Dongliang warned Ding Jiayi not to make the call. Otherwise, he would smash the phone.

He would make sure that Ding Jiayi coughed up all the money that she took from Qiao Nan and he would send them back to Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan was married to Zhai Sheng and she was still a student. The Zhai family would have to provide for her daily expenses. It would be shameless to ask Qiao Nan to take money from her in-laws in order to support her parental family. Qiao Dongliang refused to take any money from her.

Seeing that Qiao Dongliang was so insistent, Ding Jiayi had no other choice but to give up on that thought.

Ding Jiayi knew that she might dislike Qiao Nan and Qiao Nan had no feelings for her, but Qiao Dongliang was the only person who was able to get any money from Qiao Nan.

If Qiao Dongliang was unwilling to do that, even if Ding Jiayi had good plans, they would be useless.

Therefore, Ding Jiayi had to part with her hard-earned savings reluctantly. She and Qiao Dongliang pooled their money together to pay for Qiao Zijin’s school fees.

But Ding Jiayi also told Qiao Zijin that she would only provide her with enough money to cover her daily expenses for a month.

Thereafter, Qiao Zijin had to work part-time to earn money to cover her daily expenses. Ding Jiayi could not earn much to provide for Qiao Zijin. She had grown up and should be able to work to support herself. She could not rely on her parents.

In short, Qiao Zijin was an adult and she already started a relations.h.i.+p. She had to provide for herself instead of adding to her parents’ burden. Her parents could not help it that they were not capable and did not earn lots of money.

Qiao Zijin left with her school fees as well as the money to cover her daily expenses for a month. Ding Jiayi had no idea what was on her mind when she left.

Qiao Dongliang kept silent throughout, but he had his own thoughts about this.

He did not stop Ding Jiayi as he hoped that Qiao Zijin would learn to depend on her own efforts.

He could tell that Qiao Zijin tended to rely too much on other people. She felt that she had to rely on other people, including her parents, her sister, or even the man that she would marry in the future in order to lead a good life.

Qiao Zijin was unwilling to listen to his advice because she felt that Chen Jun’s family was well-to-do and she would be able to lead a good life after she married him in the future.

It was too dangerous to harbor such thoughts.

Perhaps it was only when Qiao Zijin earned money to support herself would she understand that as long as she was willing to work hard, she had the ability to support herself and she did not need to rely on others.

In that case, Qiao Zijin would reconsider her relations.h.i.+p with Chen Jun. He hoped that when she looked for another boyfriend in the future, it would be based on his temperament and character instead of his family background as well as whether he was rich or not.

That was why although Qiao Dongliang could tell that Qiao Zijin bore a grudge toward Ding Jiayi, he did not stop Ding Jiayi.

Upon reaching school, as she was still angry, Qiao Zijin could not be bothered to make a phone call to tell her parents that she had reached safely.

Ding Jiayi had made it clear that she would not give her a single cent apart from the money that she had with her.

If she did not make a phone call, she could save the money and spend it on herself.

Qiao Zijin did not call her parents. Instead, Qiao Dongliang made a call to her dormitory. It was Qiao Zijin’s roommate who answered the call and pa.s.sed the phone to her. “Zijin, I can tell that you are unhappy that your mom only gave you a small amount of money and wanted you to work to support yourself. Zijin, you have grown up. You are an adult. I don’t expect that you will be very outstanding in the future. My only hope is for you to be a useful person. Don’t bear grudges against your mom. We have your best interests.”

“Zijin, your mom and I are getting older. We will definitely leave the world earlier than you. You don’t have to worry. While we are still alive, we will definitely provide for you. But have you thought about what is going to happen to you when we are gone? You will get married in the future and your husband will take care of you. It is not that I am being harsh, but we have seen it in the news that many people get divorced nowadays. Zijin, I hope that you will become a useful person and will not have to rely on other people. You can work hard to support yourself and you will still be able to lead a good life. Do you understand my kind intentions?”

Qiao Dongliang did his best to convince Qiao Zijin to rely on herself. He hoped that she could understand that her parents had her best interests.

“Dad, are you trying to tell me that the only person I can rely on is myself and that other people are unreliable?” Qiao Zijin replied calmly.

“Yes! I am right about you. You can understand what I want to say.” She had made a very accurate conclusion. She was indeed a high school student. She could express his meaning in simple words.

Qiao Zijin sneered at Qiao Dongliang’s cheerful tone. “Dad, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry. I understand everything.”
