Afterward, she would even be able to talk to her mom about the courtyard. Since it would be hers eventually, what was the big deal in giving it to her now?

One could only rest a.s.sured with a way to feed oneself. Now that she had come up with a solution to her problem, Qiao Zijin, who had been troubled all this while, could finally rest easy and shut her eyes to go to sleep.

Qiao Zijin had not forgotten why she had wanted to be discharged. The property agent told her that someone was willing to purchase her house. Qiao Zijin thought that it was a little fast, but the other party had not forked out the money yet. Perhaps, they would decide not to go ahead with the purchase after viewing the house. Selling a house was a big deal, and there was no way it would be completed within two to three days.

It was only after Qiao Zijin finished the transfer procedures, received a bank card with 1.6 million yuan in her hands, and walked out dizzily from the agency that she realized that a house worth two million could be sold so easily.

Thinking about how Qiao Nan had been good at earning money and had spent only six hundred thousand on this house, and how she might not even have had the chance to have such a large amount of cash otherwise, Qiao Zijin felt a little sad. There was really no one who could compare to Qiao Nan in terms of being able to earn money in the Qiao family. Ever since she was in high school, Qiao Nan had been quite capable in terms of earning money.

“Zijin, has the two-million-yuan-house really been sold? Have you gotten the money?” Ding Jiayi was rather excited. Her family had never had so much money in their lives. Ding Jiayi felt that she would not even be able to fall asleep just thinking about the 1.6 million yuan. “Zijin, you have to keep the money safely. Do you want me to keep it for you in case you lose it?”

Qiao Zijin quickly covered the bank card securely. “There’s no need for that, Mom. I’m all grown up. How can I possibly lose it? I can keep it well myself.” What a joke! This was 1.6 million yuan! If this got into her mom’s pockets, would she even be able to retrieve it in the future?

At the thought of the courtyard, Qiao Zijin quickly changed her mind. “Mom, the bank is right ahead. I’ll bank this in. Wait outside for me.”

“All right.” Ding Jiayi agreed that she had to be careful with such a large amount of money on hand. What if someone got close to Zijin and robbed her?

When Qiao Zijin was done, she returned home with Ding Jiayi. Upon returning home, Qiao Zijin realized that Qiao Dongliang was not home. It was just as well. She would not have to worry about her father overhearing her conversation about the courtyard. “Mom, come to my room.”

“What’s wrong?” Ding Jiayi wiped her hands dry. “I’m was.h.i.+ng the vegetables. If I don’t do it now, your dad will definitely be unhappy if he doesn’t have anything to eat when he comes back at noontime.” She had already spent half of the five hundred yuan that Zijin had given her a few days back. She would have to ask Zijin for more. She wondered how much Zijin would give her this time. If it was not enough, she would just have to ask for more.

Qiao Zijin smiled and took something out of her bag and pa.s.sed it to Ding Jiayi. “Mom, look at this. This is for you. Take your time to spend it.”

The moment Ding Jiayi saw the envelope, she had a rough idea of what it was. With just a glance and her twenty years of experience taking money from Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi asked directly, “Ten thousand?” It had always been much thicker every time that wretched girl handed hers over.

Ding Jiayi was sick and never liked Qiao Nan making a transfer to her. It felt too virtual and it did not feel real at all. What if the money went missing during the transfer? Or what if Qiao Nan tried to s.h.i.+rk her responsibility? Besides, it was just a bunch of numbers. It could not compare to the feeling of thick, heavy cash.

As such, Ding Jiayi requested Qiao Nan to hand her salary over in cold-hard cash. She did not like transferring money and doing that sort of thing. Besides, mobile transfers had only been popularized in recent years. Since Qiao Zijin did not use it, Ding Jiayi did not either.

Because of the twenty years of experience with Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi could estimate the amount of money in the envelope the moment Qiao Zijin took it out.

Hearing the lack of surprise in Ding Jiayi’s voice, and even a little disappointment, Qiao Zijin was upset. She had never given her mom money, but her mom had always praised her for being a good daughter. Now that she was giving her mom ten thousand yuan, her mom was disappointed? No wonder her mother had never been happy no matter how much Qiao Nan gave her in the past.

“Is it too little?” Qiao Zijin tried to suppress her anger.

Ding Jiayi’s expression changed. “No, not really. I’m just not used to it.” Whether it was ten thousand or five hundred, she had never gotten so little money from that wretched girl. Sigh. Having that wretched girl around had been pretty good. At least, that wretched girl had been much more easy-going about her money.

The moment Ding Jiayi said that, Qiao Zijin lost the desire to continue the conversation. “Mom, thanks for staying by my side and taking care of me after my surgery. I don’t know how I would have made it through otherwise. Thank you so much, Mom.” Qiao Zijin took a step forward and hugged Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi’s heart softened and she patted Qiao Zijin on the shoulder. “You’re my only… You’re the daughter I care most about. How could I not stay by your side? Nothing is more important than you being healthy and well. Don’t worry, Zijin. Mom will never leave you alone. Even if everyone else leaves you, I’ll never leave you.”

Since Zijin knew how good she was, she should know how to be filial to her now that she had 1.6 million yuan in her hands.

“Mom, where do you think Qiao Nan is now?”

“…” At the mention of Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi’s expression soured. “Why are you talking about that heartless wretched girl? I don’t care about where she is! She can die for all I care. It’ll be even better if she just dies outside and doesn’t make trouble for us. She’s already forty and she’s still unmarried. If I were her, I would be too embarra.s.sed to be living in this world. She’s a sc.u.m who abandoned her parents! Even if she goes to h.e.l.l, she won’t be forgiven! She’ll suffer in h.e.l.l!”

Thinking about how she and Qiao Dongliang had been taking care of Zijin’s surgery without Qiao Nan’s help, Ding Jiayi was enraged. If this happened to any other family, the younger generation would be the ones dealing with all these matters. Both she and Old Qiao were already advanced in age and did not even dream of relying on their children. But when something like this happened, was it not expected that she should at least treat them as her parents?
