Upon thinking that Qiao Nan was the chief’s wife and that they had to go through the judicial procedures, Qiao Zijin felt that this was unreliable. Based on Zhai Sheng’s identity, wouldn’t those people help Qiao Nan and ignore their Qiao family?
“Why should we find her?!” Ding Jiayi became confident now. “We just need to sue her. There’s no need to find her. If we file a lawsuit, the court will definitely issue a subpoena to Qiao Nan. This is different from the divorce lawsuit. We have evidence that she didn’t provide for me. If she doesn’t show up, that would be considered contempt of the court. The court has even more reason to press charges against her. Even if she’s the chief’s wife, she can’t ignore the country’s laws. We should take this opportunity and let her understand. Did she really think she’s above all just because she’s now the chief’s wife?”
So what if she was the chief’s wife? In this country, Zhai Sheng wasn’t the most powerful individual.
“Sure, Mom. I’ll listen to you.” Qiao Zijin herself didn’t have any ideas. Upon hearing that Ding Jiayi came up with a solution, she naturally supported it. “Mom, you’re the most formidable to have come up with such a good idea. No wonder people always said that an elder at home is like a treasure at home. Whenever something happens, we can count on you to be the smartest.”
It was rare for Qiao Zijin to say such sincere words. She had to admit that when it came to dealing with Qiao Nan, her mom was more capable and she had more ideas than her.
“No problem. I’m almost seventy years old now. I can’t live these years in vain. When you have reached my age, you can think of ways as well.” Ding Jiayi straightened her back and became arrogant.
Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi felt that they had both thought of a perfect solution. But when Qiao Nan received the summons in Qingshui Town, she looked confused. “Was this issued wrongly?” Or could it be that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were crazy about money?
“No.” Zhai Sheng hugged Qiao Nan and replied calmly. Initially, the summons was sent to the Zhai family’s house in the quad. Because of Zhai Sheng, someone had specially sent it to Qingshui Town. “What do you think about this matter?”
Qiao Nan’s lips twitched. “Do Dad and Mom know about this?”
“Yes.” The court’s subpoena wasn’t a small matter. Dad and Mom naturally knew about it.
Qiao Nan stood up. “Let’s go out together and talk things clearly so that the two elders wouldn’t worry?”
When Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng walked out, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were already waiting. Before Qiao Nan married over, Miao Jing already knew that their family would be related to the Qiao family somehow and Ding Jiayi was a very troublesome person. It was just that when this trouble was really placed in front of her, Miao Jing, who had already done a lot of preparations, couldn’t help but feel a headache. “Nan Nan, look at this…”
Although Ding Jiayi was unpleasant to the eye and according to what she understood from the news, it wasn’t Ding Jiayi, as a mother, who provided for Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan, the daughter, who had supported the entire Qiao family. Who asked Qiao Nan to be born to Ding Jiayi?
At least, before Qiao Nan was made to drop out of school and start earning money, Qiao Nan had relied on Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi to provide for her.
As such, no matter how overboard Ding Jiayi was, Miao Jing felt that as a child, she should still provide for her. However, it was very important to pay attention to how to provide for her and how much living expenses she should provide each month. Who asked Ding Jiayi to have endless wants and didn’t know how to be content?
Zhai Yaohui had similar thoughts. Their Zhai family wasn’t lacking money. It was worth spending a few thousand yuan each month to buy peace and reputation. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to provide for her, but the Qiao family was too greedy. They felt that the living expenses weren’t enough and that the responsibility was on the Zhai family.
Nobody’s money came from the wind. Children were obliged to support their parents but not obliged to satisfy their parents’ endless demands without limits. That wasn’t filial piety. That was foolish filial piety.
Seeing that her in-laws seemed to think that for the past few months, not only did she ignore the Qiao family, but she also didn’t give Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang any living expenses, Qiao Nan could neither laugh nor cry. “Dad, Mom, I haven’t been working for long but I still have income. I don’t have a lot, but I have been transferring two thousand yuan every month to the Qiao family. Husband and wife each got a thousand yuan monthly…”
Even with the current economic development and their country becoming stronger, there was still a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Two thousand yuan might not seem a lot, but in many places, a young person’s monthly salary was only three thousand or four thousand yuan. To have a salary of more than five thousand yuan was already considered high in an ordinary city.
Qiao Nan transferred two thousand yuan to the Qiao family monthly. That was equivalent to half the salary of an average person. As such, the amount Qiao Nan gave the Qiao family wasn’t little.
These two thousand yuan couldn’t let Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi lead a prosperous life, but their basic necessities were covered. With these two thousand yuan, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi could eat well every day.
From the start to the end, Qiao Nan never thought about saving these two thousand yuan. If she should give it, she would give it. She never gave a lesser amount or delayed the payment. On the first day of every month, Qiao Nan would remember to transfer two thousand yuan. Apologies, but she was not willing to admit to the charges of not supporting her parents, as described in the subpoena.
If giving each parent one thousand yuan monthly wasn’t considered as providing for the elderly, then the young people in China would no longer be able to live.
“You… you did give them?” Miao Jing was stunned. She thought that Qiao Nan was angry at the Qiao family for being too overboard and kept finding her trouble and thus ignored the Qiao family’s life and death. “You gave them each one thousand yuan a month. That’s not considered little. On what basis are they suing you?”
Indeed, Nan Nan was a good child. Although the Qiao family was like that, Nan Nan still retained her bottom line as a person. She wouldn’t give very little to the Qiao family, but the Qiao family didn’t need to think about receiving more than they should. Yes, she had to continue insisting on such an attitude. “Ding Jiayi finds the one thousand yuan a month too little and thus came to sue you? Is something wrong with her? Even if she’s suing now, she can’t possibly receive more than a thousand yuan a month as living expenses.”
Miao Jing expressed that Ding Jiayi was really a ‘rare breed’. Ding Jiayi had more than one daughter. Didn’t she think that once she sued Nan Nan to the court, the court would factor in Qiao Zijin’s existence as a point of consideration when making a judgment?
Why did the country encourage young people to give birth to two children? It was because it was too tough on two young people to take care of four elders. The Qiao family had two daughters. If each daughter gave each elder one thousand yuan monthly, then combining the money together, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi could each receive two thousand yuan monthly from their children.
