Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1989: She Can Fork Out the Money First

She was already forty-two years old but was actually beaten by Qiao Dongliang. How could Qiao Zijin stand such treatment? As she avoided the hit, she felt hatred in her heart. "I knew it long ago. Now that Qiao Nan managed to be on good terms with the Zhai family, you think that she is promising and only recognize her as your daughter. It wouldn't be a pity even if you beat me to death, right? You don't even recognize me as your daughter anymore. On what basis are you qualified to hit me? Go and find your obedient daughter!"

No matter how weak the forty-two-year-old Qiao Zijin was, she was still middle-aged. Even if Qiao Dongliang was a man, he was already in his sixties this year. As soon as Qiao Zijin resisted and flung him back, Qiao Dongliang, who never thought that Qiao Zijin would dare to retaliate, was caught off-guard. He fell backward with a crack. From the sound alone, it was clear that Qiao Dongliang's fall was quite solid.

"Old Qiao!" Ding Jiayi saw Qiao Dongliang's eyes widen. His face looked stiff and something seemed very wrong. She tried to pull Qiao Dongliang up from the ground. Qiao Dongliang was in so much pain that the veins in his neck bulged and the bones in his body made a light crisp sound. After that, he fainted. "Are you insane? He's your dad. How can you hit him? Quick. Call 120 quickly! Something's wrong with your dad. He has fainted."

Ding Jiayi didn't know that her attempt to support the injured Qiao Dongliang was aggravating the situation. She was the one who caused Qiao Dongliang to faint and the culprit to cause him a second injury.

Qiao Zijin was shocked. She refused to admit that this was her doing. "Don't blame it on me. My dad must be pretending. Haven't Qiao Nan been pretending over the years as well? My dad's completely looking up to Qiao Nan now and is deliberately trying to frighten me. How did I hit him? I didn't even push him. At the very most, I ran when he was hitting me. This is none of my business. Don't push the responsibility to me. Dad, don't pretend to faint. If you're really admitted, don't expect me to fork out that huge sum of money for you. I'm a divorced woman. I'm counting on this sum of money for a living."

After talking for a long time, Qiao Zijin didn't dial 120. Qiao Zijin knew it in her heart how much power she exerted. She just flung her hand. After that, she didn't even touch a corner of her dad's clothes. She was beaten up so badly by her dad, but she wasn't in a hurry to go to the hospital. Her dad was pretending so well as if it was real.

Ding Jiayi's heart shivered. "You damned child. Something's really wrong with your dad. I'm not lying to you. Call an ambulance quickly!" Didn't she see how Old Qiao had fainted? "When your dad fell behind on his bottom, I heard the cracking sound of his bones. I don't know if your dad has a bone problem."

After hearing Ding Jiayi's words and seeing that Qiao Dongliang had fainted with cold sweat on his forehead, Qiao Zijin became afraid and took out her mobile to dial 120.

On the way to the hospital, the doctor asked how Qiao Dongliang got injured. Qiao Zijin lowered her head and didn't say anything. Ding Jiayi, who always placed Qiao Zijin first, said vaguely, "The floor was slippery. He accidentally fell."

"After his fall, did you touch the patient?" The doctor's face changed. This person was old. His physical mechanism naturally couldn't be compared to when he was young. His bones were especially brittle now. To an elderly, a heavy fall can be fatal, let alone a slip.

"No. We aren't doctors. We don't know what to do." The doctor heaved a sigh of relief at Ding Jiayi's words. However, what Ding Jiayi said next made the doctor secretly cry for Qiao Dongliang. "When he fell, I was afraid that the floor would be too cold for him. I tried to lift him up. However, I was too weak and didn't manage to do so."

After hearing Ding Jiayi's words, the doctor didn't want to say anything else. To an injured person, not having the slightest common sense of medical care was really terrible!

The doctor wasn't sure what Qiao Dongliang's situation was like now. He definitely suffered a fracture. However, the specific details could only be confirmed after taking an X-ray back at the hospital.

"Zijin, what are you doing? Hurry up and hand over the money. Didn't you hear the doctor say that your dad suffered a fracture? He needs to take an X-ray and might even need to undergo an operation." There was only one person in the family who was sick and had to do a kidney transplant. Ding Jiayi was very familiar with the hospital procedures.

Qiao Zijin moved her mouth unhappily. "My dad will spend a lot of money to see the doctor, right? It's not that I don't care about his life and death. I just feel that he isn't just my dad alone. A lot of money has to be spent on him today. Someone will provide a living for Qiao Nan soon. I still have to provide a living for myself, you, and Dad. I only have that little money in my hands. What if I give all of it to Dad today for his treatment? How would our family of three continue to lead a life in the future?"

She hadn't gotten the courtyard yet. However, she had to part with a part of the one million yuan in her hands today for her dad's hospitalization. Upon thinking about this sum of money which she wasn't even willing to spend on herself but now had to first spend it on Qiao Dongliang, who no longer had her in his heart, Qiao Zijin felt unhappy.

She had a house in her hands. However, she would rather stay in the hospital for months just so that others would fork out the money to treat her illness. If she could be so cruel to herself, then without a doubt, she would be crueler to anyone other than her who was deemed as an 'outsider'.

Ding Jiayi wasn't really a fool. She was taken aback and asked, "Zijin, your dad got injured because of… Do you not want to use this sum of money for your dad's illness?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I only have a dad. How can I not care now that he's sick? However, he doesn't only have me as a daughter. Everyone should care about him together." It was such a huge sum of money. On what basis should she fork out the money all by herself?

The Zhai family was providing for Qiao Nan. She was definitely not lacking money and would have a lot of good days in the future. Now that Qiao Nan became the chief's wife, she had to take care of the relatives from her own family, right? Her dad's hospitalization was the best time for Qiao Nan to do something.

If she did everything, then what else could Qiao Nan do? She couldn't possibly prevent Qiao Nan from being a filial daughter, right?

In short, she could fork out the money, but it shouldn't be her alone. Also, Qiao Nan's current conditions were much better than hers. If they really had to fork out money, Qiao Nan should pay most of it. For her, a divorcee and jobless woman, to fork out a bit of money was more than enough.

There wouldn't be anything else that she was willing to fork out.

"Mom, Dad's already hospitalized. Quickly make a call to Qiao Nan and tell her about this. After she's here, she can fork out the money first. If it's not enough, I'll add on to it later."
