Chapter 1908: Reluctant to Sell It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon seeing Qiao Dongliang return home, Ding Jiayi expressed her dissatisfaction. “What’s up with you nowadays? Why are you always heading out? Zijin is so ill. Why don’t you care more about her?”

Thinking about her elder daughter whose condition was deteriorating by the day, Ding Jiayi’s heart ached. Because her family’s situation had been exposed more and more, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, who had been pitied by the public, were now being looked down on. Eventually, Qiao Zijin, who had run out of money, could no longer withstand the public scrutiny and chose to be discharged from the hospital and to return home.

Up until today, Qiao Zijin’s condition had not improved in the slightest. The kidney donor was still a difficult problem they had yet to resolve.

Upon hearing Ding Jiayi’s words, Qiao Dongliang glanced at Qiao Zijin’s room. “Didn’t the hospital call to say that they found a suitable kidney? Didn’t they ask us if we want it? If we want it, they’ll arrange for a surgery as soon as possible. Once she undergoes the surgery, won’t Zijin be cured?”

Qiao Dongliang realized that Qiao Zijin’s door had been left ajar. As such, he knew that Qiao Zijin could hear his conversation with Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi stared angrily at Qiao Dongliang. “I know. But do we have enough money to accept that kidney? Accepting it and undergoing surgery will cost us four hundred thousand yuan. With our family’s situation, where will we find four hundred thousand yuan? If that wretched girl was still here, we might have been able to fork out that money and let Zijin undergo the surgery.”

That wretched girl had no other use than to earn some money. Initially, that wretched girl had already gotten a hundred thousand before getting into an accident, and she had even said that she would hand over another hundred thousand soon. As for the initially agreed upon two hundred thousand suddenly becoming four hundred thousand, Ding Jiayi had been infuriated over it. Was this not a set cost?

But there was no room for bargaining. Kidneys were a scarce resource and the hospital would not give them much time for consideration. If they thought that it was too expensive, there would always be another person who would be willing to fork out that sum of money in exchange for their health.

Thinking about how Zijin had cried in front of her, Ding Jiayi could not help but say, “Old Qiao, nothing’s more important than a life. We only have one daughter left. We can’t possibly watch her die, right? We can still earn more money, but we won’t be able to revive her. Do you think we should sell this courtyard and hand over the money for Zijin’s surgery?”

“No.” Qiao Dongliang refused. “We already sold this courtyard once to send Zijin to a better university. If not for Nan Nan, we would have lost this house a long time ago. Do you still think that there will be someone to help us repurchase this house if we sell it this time?”

“...” Zijin was right. She and Old Qiao were that wretched girl’s birth parents. Could that wretched girl possibly hide for her entire life without coming back up until their deaths? The moment that wretched girl appeared, repurchasing this courtyard would be her duty because she had to support them. “We can talk about the house in the future. We should let Zijin undergo her surgery first.”

Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Dongliang thought differently from her and liked to help Qiao Nan, so she did not speak her mind. No matter what, it was more important to book this surgery. Otherwise, that kidney might no longer be available by the time they decided to sell the house.

“No. I said no. We already sold this house once for Zijin. We can’t sell it a second time. You and Zijin shouldn’t even think about selling this house.” Qiao Dongliang even took the effort to glance toward Qiao Zijin’s room. He knew that Ding Jiayi had not been the one to come up with this idea. It had definitely been Qiao Zijin.

At that time, they had donated a sum of money in order to get Qiao Zijin into a better university. To do so, they had sold the house. The moment they had done so, Ding Jiayi had regretted it and nagged all day. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would not have worked so hard to earn enough money to repurchase the house.

In just a few years, the price of that same house had increased drastically.

That was how it had been at that time. Now that so many years had passed, Qiao Dongliang knew that the property prices were even scarier than they had been in the past, especially for old houses like this courtyard. They were hard to come by even if one had the money.

Qiao Dongliang was clear that they would never be able to afford this house again, even if Qiao Nan was willing to work all day and night and spend all her money on purchasing the house again.

Besides, Qiao Dongliang had another plan in mind for this house, but he was not prepared to let Ding Jiayi in on this plan. Ding Jiayi had been a little concerned when Qiao Nan had repurchased this house.

She knew that Qiao Nan had paid for the house alone, and if she had listened to Qiao Zijin and had registered the house under Qiao Zijin’s name at that time, she would never have been able to answer to Qiao Nan. Besides, Ding Jiayi still had plans to make more money off Qiao Nan.

Thus, Ding Jiayi told Qiao Zijin that it would not be possible with this house. But that did not mean that she would never have a house. After all, Qiao Nan was good at making money. She would just try her best to get all of Qiao Nan’s money. Then, she would be able to buy another property for Qiao Zijin.

At that time, Qiao Zijin had not known the true value of the quad. To be honest, she did not really care for the quad since she had grown up there and very much preferred a high-rise apartment.

Because Ding Jiayi had said so, Qiao Zijin felt the same way and did not insist on having it her way either. When the house was repurchased, Ding Jiayi used the excuse that the house was the Qiao family’s old villa and that it would be her and Qiao Dongliang’s lifetime sustenance. As such, the house would be registered under Qiao Dongliang’s name now that it had been repurchased.

At that time, Qiao Dongliang felt that he still had a certain status in his wife’s heart. Otherwise, she would have found a way to register it under her name alone. In that way, she would have control over the allocation of the house.

Ding Jiayi did not think much about it, but that did not mean that Qiao Zijin did not. Qiao Zijin wanted to live, and she wanted to live well. She wanted to let those people who had mocked her know just how capable Qiao Zijin was. They wanted to make a mockery of her? They had better lead better lives than her, then.

Qiao Zijin truly cherished her large apartment. The quad was expensive and was under his name. If they were to sell the quad, not only would Qiao Zijin be cured, but she would also get the leftover money from the sale. Conversely, if they were to sell her apartment, she would have nothing valuable to her name anymore.
